ing account Of the ptogress Of the cause in this
section, and is Of opinion that with energetic &C.
ton the Wings will carry the Legislature in
August and the State for Clay in the fall. And
let me here remark, that is TIE general impression
Of the Wings here. The Wings Of Howard are
along ways behind the Wings of this section
here they are oil enthusiasm, and 81. Louis county
will elect clear Wing ticket in August. But
must confne myself to our trip. We lay by
at the mouth Of the river on Sunday night, for
the purpose Of coming into the city on Monday
morning, which we did in fine style. We all
paraded on the hurricane deck Of the boat, hoisted
our flags and banners, and with music and the
firing Of cannon, swept past the city, passing,
as we went down, the Huntsville, which had
rounded 10 aud was coming back 10 the landing;
The citizens Of the place say it was The most
splendid entrance ever made into this port.
Landed, we were received by the committee Of
reception, one Of whom made an appropriate
address. The procession then marched up to the
Republican Office, where the different delegations
were received and their places assigned them in
The procession. A short speech was delivered
to the cup country coons" by Mr.. Prim, after
which the procession moved on TO the courthouse,
where the different delegations met and formed
in grand procession. DR.. VAUGHAN, Of Glas.
gov, was Chief Marshal Of the Howard delega-
ton, assist ed by Mr.. SrRATroN Of that place.
and Maj. TURNER, Of Fayette. There were
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DELE.
GATES FROM HOWARD l.! The largest
delegation, | believe from any county. Well
may the clique trembe, when such feeling is
getting up among their neighbor coons. Depend
upon it, we shall carry Howard in August. PEG.
pie from every part of the county were on board,
and the general belief is, that our ticket will
succeed, by majority OF from fifty 10 one hun.
dred! The day was rather unlavorable for pro
cession, as there was a mist Of rain falling in
the morning, which rendered it disagreeable.
i Being rather unwel, did not turn out in the
procession. 1t passed the corner OF the hotel
where pu! up, and had fair view Of it; but
| cannot now give full description, and if
could, the late hour at which you will receive
this, would prevent your publishing it this week
Next week we can give the particulars, as fur
nished by the city papers. The procession
marched through the city, and out TO the Park
where dinner had been provided, and stand:
erected for the speakers. There were about FIVE
, THOUSAND in the procession, and had it not beer
for the untavoIableness Of the day, it is supposed
there would have been from twelve 10 eighteen
thousand. When the speaking commenced a
the Park there were about 10 900 present. Joul
M. EAGER, Of this place, was chosen Ptesiden
OF the Convention, and number Of Vice Presi

the best style, and the citizens Of ST. Louis de
serve great credit and the thanks of the delegates
from the various sections Of the State for the
attentions and hospitality. A meeting is nov
being held at the Court house; Mr.. GEYER is t

invited the Howard delegation to attend meet
ing at their Club room tonight after which TIT
Linn leaves, by which will send this. Man,
OF the delegates will take another boat home, al
three hundred persons on so small boat as sht
is, makes things rather too eight for comfort
] The effects Of the convention will be salutary
throughout the State. The delegates will return
home with new feelings and devoted spirits
which will be impaired to their neighbors anc
friends, and which Will not cease TO glow in the
bosoms ill Missouri shall have paid the debt O
