OT We stated in our last that we should

take an occasional notice of tho gentleman
who presides over the Missouri Republi-
can, not only because in rage on his pap' -
for joke on ours, he was pleased to in
fiict on us what he thought powerful pun
ishment but for the purpose of showing TO
the people of the State his utter incapa.
bity TO the discharge of the duties to
which he aspires, and which many unre-
hccting persons may think him capable of
performing. As our own statements in
reference TO him may be considered
by some as not altogether satisfactory,
we propose to call to our aid the words of
one who has long battlcd in maintenance
of the doctrines and principles of the wing
party, and with whose namo and writings
every wing Ito say nothing of the Locos)
is familiar in the State. If we have been
(and we are confident we have noO consid-
cred rash and unthouglned in our remarks
towards the Republican" we know the
evidence we can bring to our aid will at
once dispcl such thoughts-and it will be
SCCil tlIdb tiS ibiliul MS arc lioL III a
tone of boast, but of regret, that the editor
of the Republican should so far forget HIM
self as to act in the manner in which he
has.
We will make few extracts from the
New Era," edited by NATH'L. PAscHAIL,
Esq, in reference to the course of the "Re-
publican The disturbance has originated
in reference to the Mayoralty of the city
of st. Louis-Chambers was a candidate
before the convention, but failed to receive
the nomination, since which time he has
acted and spoken more like a maniac than
leader of party. The convention nomi-
mated Mr.. Charless--a stern and unhinch-
ing whig-as candidate for Mayor: this
of course did not suit Mr.. Chambers; he
forthwith attacks Mr.. G. through his paper
and gets a meeting of portion of the
wings, at which enough of the Locos at
tend and participate to reject the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Charles. Mr.. Charles having
previously been nominated as the candidate
of the Native American party, still contin-
ued in the field, being satisfied that his nom-
ination received the appreciation of large
portion of the wing party of the city. So
; Chambers was again caught-after getting
Mr. Charles rejected, he found it would
be impossible to get another Convention to
nominate him, and he turns around, goes
for the regularly nominated Locofoco can
didate, when there were tUo true Uhigs for
the same office And such a man as this
r aspires to the leadership of the wing party
of the State \! But to the extracts from
e the "Era,"-speaking of the editor of the
, Republican" it says:
cat an early period Of the canvas, the editor
pro(essed, and we have no doubt sincerely, great
desire for the union oil the Wing party. At la
ter PERIOD after the nomination Of Mr.. CHARLEss
had taken place, whereat he was nightly dis.
pleased, he acknowledged himself bothered to find
f out where he was, in what party, for what pur-
a psse, and 10 what use. Anon, he saw, in his
excited Imagination, dire(ul evils likely to arise
from the success OF the "Native American" can
ddate; and now, it is plainly foreshadowed, un-
T. der the special plea that 'the temporary snprem-
acy OF Loco Focoism'' is less obnoxious than the
II success oil the nominee OIL the 'Natlve AIner-
!, cans Wing though he is, and has been all his
f. ye-that the editor OF the Republican" intends
!. to cast his vote and exert his influence, for Mr..
E Maguire-THE REGULARLY NOMINA.
TED LOCO FOCO CANDIDATE: "one ,cho
e makes no concealmem Of his pernicious rie,os' -
zone cho and acts upon the principle, that
TO the Dctors belong the SOILS characteristics
g be it remembered, which the editor Of the "Re.
A. publican" has himself applied 10 him,
q y OF all things under the sun, it
does seem 10 us most strange, that those who
gale 10 themselves the ercluSire junction OF "real
1t Wings" the "smon pure Wings" should place
is themselves in position where they feel thom-
e selves authorized to vote for regularly nomina
e ted Loco Foco candidate when there are TWO
# WINGS IN THE FIELD! We shall be
5. much surprised, if this extraordinary movement
re in the head Of that old Wing paper does not cx.
, cite more establishment in Missouri than any Of
:, the really singular events Of this election
'e 1t may be well enough to remark that,
. although Mr.. Charles accepted the nomi-
N nation of the Native Americans, he neither
:, belongs to their Association, nor stands
'e pledged, publicly, TO carry out their views:
is but supposing he did, there is Mr.. Primm,
,e a wing, candidate also, who is not Ma
y, tive American, nor is he running on that
~ ~ ticket, and if wings objected to Mr.. Char
" less on account of Native Americanism,
