peat, the chances are in favor OF his being nom.
mated. His great competitor at the present mo.
ment is Mr.. Calhoun, who has many noble traits
OF character, and much calculated TO commend
him TO the South. But the fatal hefesy of Null.
cation still darkens his character, and weakens
his strength in the popular mind. Besides, Van
Buren, can and will out.manage him. The ques.
ton arises, with Van Buren, in the 6eld--would
the entire party rally upon him? They would
not at the last contest, and is he more popular
now. Few will venture to say that he is. He
was too weak for success then, and he will prove
far we aker in 1874. We repeat, that under all
the circumstances, the prospect for the Wings is
every way encouraging. Let them keep together,
united, earnest and determined, but let them
never forget that their duty to their cause, and
their candidate, requires them by LIBERAL manly
and truly American policy, to win as many con-
verts to their ranks as possible, and thus to in.
crease the strength Of their cause and The MAORI
ty OF their candidate.

WILLIAM M'NAIR, ESQ.

We publish the following from the St.
Louis Reporter for the information of
those who wish to know what has become
of this great champion of Democracy. As
he has not the young sprig of the law to
push him forward in 81. Louis, he had
here, we doubt very much whether he can
succeed: at any rate. it will be sometime
before he goes TO the Legislature from ST.
Louis County. or they must be hard run
for candidates. We had thought after re-
ceiving such a rebuke from the hands of
the corrupt clique, as he did last summer.
he would retire from the political arena
and never again le found battling in their
cause.
1--WE invite the attention OF the Democrats oil
ST. Louis 10 the resolutions offered at the Fourth
Ward Meeting, on last Saturday evening, by
Mr. McNar, young man fresh from Howard
County, now teaching school in this city.
Doubtless he thought he was bound to serve the
interests, and carry out the views OF his old
friends and neighbors the Fayette Clique, in op
position 10 the sentiments of the St. Louis De
mocracy, as expressed at the Mass Meeting held
a, the Court House, on the 18th inst. We have
been careful 10 publish the resolutions UerJatim
ct htera,im, in order that the character OF thi;
new agent Of the Clique may be fully apprecia
ted and his qualifications as politician ant
school teacher may be understood by this com
muni:y. We pass by, without comment, thu
gross murder Of the English language committed
by this man who asks the parents Of ST. Louis
10 intrust the education Of their children to him.
perusal OF his resolutions will show how
worthy he is Of public patronage, and how fit ;
teacher he is Of either boys or men. His mora
character is also shown by the unblushng man
ner in which he repeats the falsehoods invented
by the branded Clique organ, the Jefferson In
quirer. and Lynde Elliott. We recommend hin
to the Sub. Clique as fit successor of the i'm
maculate Elliott. He should be employed forth
with, and the children Of The city rescued from
his influence"

Com. MooRE has published an address
to the people of Texas, explaining and jus.
tifying his alleged disobedience Of orders
and his professional conduct generally
He says:-
Before the proper tribunal again say.
that will prove that the charge of DISC
bedience and characterization, of treachery,
mutiny and piracy, contained in the Prcsi-
dents Proclamation and the published letter
of instructions to the Commissioners, are
all utterly false; and am also prepared to
prove that the many SANDERS privately cir
culated against me during my absence, by
means of which | am led 10 believe that
the minds Of my country's representatives
in Congress were poisoned, are totally false,
and were invented for the purpose of sac
rifcing an absent man, unheard, and unde.
Tended, on the altar of secret legislation.
Col Morgan, the commissioner who ac-
companied the Commodore in his cruise,
has still longer address to the public. His
effort seems to be to prove that President
Houston, Commodore Moore and he (Col.
Morgan) were all three right If he sue
ceeds, cloverness at least must be conceded
to him. He says
The act Of Congress the secret act con-
fined the President within certain limits,
and he may have instructed the commission
ers accordingly, and been thus far blamelsss;
and if the commissioners are able to show,
that they could not carry out the instruc.
tons Of the President, without subecting
the vessels under the command of Commo-
dore Moore TO the risk of being destroyed
["burnt,"] and that there was less risk ir
taking the Coast of Yucatan on their
course, than in going direct to Galveston
then the commissioner, who took the res
possibility Of sanctioning cruise along th(
coast of Yucatan to Galveston, may no
deserve censure from any quarter. Com
Moore may likewise be cleared of al
censure. and TO crown the matter, Prcs
dent Houston may prove undeservng o.
censure also!
This is certainly an accommodating way
of arranging the difficulty.
A quarrel recently took place in Austr
between Mr.. Nolan and Capt. Mark p
