past fighting side by side with us,,for the inter.
est Of their commo party who as a Spartan
band had manfully to resist for years the
almost overpowering current of superior
numbers, and we cannot believe that now
when victory has perched upon our standard,
we have among US one who wo uld blemish
the fair name, which he has acquired by at
tempting to build his own prospects upon the
ruin of his friends.
In reply to that portion of the communi
cation of "Honestus." in which he denounces
my "project as a direct reflection upon the
delegates" already appointed, believe that
there is nothing in the plan proposed to au-
thorise such a conclusion. They were ap-
pointed to carry out the will of our county;
and this project is nothing more or less than
to ascertain what that will is-It is to mark
out the course which they are to pursue
a course which they otherwise would tread only
at hazard. From their acknowledged moral
political g. intellectual worth, and from their
deservedly high standing in our community, 1
could not imagine that they would act other
wise than with minds unprejudiced by per-
sonal preference, and free Of all inclination
to place their own choice in conflict with
those whose servants they are. But with
the lights before them we strenuously deny
their ability to discharge with satisfaction
to the friends Of all parties the duties imposed
upon them, from the numerous doubts arising
as to who should receive their support.
In conclusion Mr.. Editor, | would notice
the propriety of immediate action upon this
subject in order that the known choice Of
our county may be suffered to operate to its
full extent at our State convention. From
a long residence of most Of the a~spirants
among US. the claims of each have been suf-
fciently known, and have been amply can
vassed in the public mind, and all that is re-
q~uisite to confer upon sold Pike" an honor
which she so richly merits, is to make
known in time her wishes to the State. BY
an adoption Of the plan proposed, every DIFF
fculty will be readily obviated, and peace
and harmony will again take up their abode
among US.

MISSOURI REPORTER

THE undersigned, under the firm of PENN
l. & VAN ANTWERP, proposes TO publish a
newspaper in ST. Louis. II will be their AIM
to give early intelligence Of passing events,
and frequent satisfactory notices Of the prin-
cIpal markets OF the country, with an accu-
rate Price Current Of this city. The paper
will be utiiitdrian-the champion of all con-
stitutional measures designed TO lessen tho
dangers Of navigation, and protect and cher
ish the vast inland m Of which ST.
Louis must be regarded as the centre.
A portion Of the Columns Of the Reporter
will be devoted to Literature and POETRY,
for the qualification Of those who consider
variety the spice Of life; and another portion
to agricultural interests, and improvements
calculated to develope the varied and une-
qualled resources of Missouri, ILLINOIS, &c,
and the superior advantages of St. Louis
a city destined in a very few years to eclipse
all her sisters of the west.
The politics of the Reporter will be dsci-
dedly Democratic-but whilst il will firmly
and fearlessly maintain the Just and genial
principles Of the great party of which it is
TO be an humble organ, its course will ever
DC strictly decoross. Abtse makes no con-
verts; virulence only serves to weaken a
good cause. 1t is therefore our fixed deter.
mination to exclude personalities; as far as
i may be possible to do so, and uniformly to
decline the publication Of articles unnecessa.
rIly inf1amatory, or calculated to produce
trolls, sectional jealousies or schisms in tho
party with which we have hitherto acted
Our business will be to follow. not to lead;
to exert our energies to promote harmony
throughout the great Democratic family; to
impress upon the minds of our political breth-
rem the vital but somtimes disregarded truth
-"ln union there is strength.
The first number OF the REpoRrEa will be
issued about the fifteenth of December next.
1t will be some what larger than the Washing
ton Globe or Intelligencer, and will be pub
lished on the following terms: .
Daily paper, hnlf yearly in advance, 80 SO 90
~Semi-weekly, In advance, --..---- : 5 90
Weekly, 1890 = do -.-----.. 8 90
1t is understood, however that the subscri.
bers will net be Called upon to pay before
they received the first number of the paper.
Advertisements will be inserted annually,
or otherwise, at the usual rates.
Arrangements are in progress which will
enable US to add the subscription list of the
Argus 10 that Of the Reporter.
