ST.. LOUIS. MOI May 10 ls4a.

| DEAR SIR: There Is glorious melee going for
ward with the politicians of Missouri jus, at this mo-
ment. The Van Buren, clique about the seat of Go
vernment composed of the Governor and his " Cor
poral's Guard" managed to obtain an expression in
favor of Mr. V. b., from portion of the Democrat,
ic members Of the Legislature last winter, and have
in many other things attempted to rule the party with
q rod of iron. maj rity Of the Democratic papers
Of the State have broken ground against these men
and their movements, and have resolved that the del
egates to a National Convention shall be elected by
districts, and the Convention held in MAY, 1874
Thus you see that the unauthorized expression OF
last winter is repudaed by the sober part Of the Re
publican party in this State, and Senators and
Members Of Congress elect, wf not be our delegates
in the National Convention, unless they get up one
for their special benefit in November next.
