has as vet been commented. After the
passage of several unimportant resolutions,
the Message of his Excellency came to
the House, communicated through the Sec
retarv of State, and after the reception, a
motion was made for the reading Of that
important paper, which seems to comprise
a good deal of useful matter on State at.
fairs; but what struck me as little above
the proper sphere of mere Governors
Message to the Representatives of the
people of State, his Excelency, M. M.
Marmaduke, takes a touch at our Federal
relations, with regard to Oregon and Texas.
What pity he should come TO the erro-
neous conclusion that although Governor
by academy he was in the Presidential
Chair. On the subject of the pecuniary
affairs of the State he confcsses, like a
man of some sense, that the State has been
ridden into debt during the reign of de-
mocracy, and recommends an increase of
the taxes. which will be very pleasant to
the people, who are now paying one fourth
of one per cent. upon the one hundred dol
lars worth of property, in many counties
that is for State and county purposes. You
will see the message shortly, five thousand
copies being ordered to be printed, and a
select committee appointed to contract
with the printer therefor. After the pas
sage of resolution to that effect, this even.
ing, the Senate entered the hall Of the
House, for the purpose of counting the
votes for Governor and Lieut.. Governor,
which being done, and Mr.. Edwards de-
clared duly elected Governor and Mr..
Young, Lieut.. Governor, the two Houses
took recess till 10 o'clock tomorrow, in
order to receive an address from his new
Excellency, Gov. Edwards.
The on dts of to-day are, that the eau
Gus last night adopted resolution to re-
elect Mr.. Benton and Mr.. AtcIison to the
Senate of the U. S., but not without some
struggling and fluttering amongst the NAL
contents of the party. At all events this
much is known, that resolution was this
evening passed through the Senate, and
communicated to the House for its concur
renee, resolving TO go into the election of
Senators tomorrow. 1t passed the Senate
without rule or order, and, in defiance of
both, was introduced to-day, taken up and
passed, without dispensing with the rule
that it should lie on the table one day.
which requires majority of two-thirds of
that body. And in just such spirit will
the House of Representatives walk into the
election. X.

THE WING PARTY.

History for ages back may be searched, bu,
searched in vain, for an example Of more un-
daunted courage and ncorruptible patriotism than
that displayed by the wing party Of this country.
Bound together by principles common to all its
parasitic same spirit animating them in every
quarter Of the country-they stand before the
world not merely as the living embodiment Of
every policy essential to The happiness and per.
petuty of this glorious Union, but as the only
political party now existing in the United States
who, in the North, South, East and West, con.
tend for the same measures.
Whether defeated or victorious in this contest,
we are for another fight in '48. Believing, as
we seriously do, that The salvation OF this great
countryside happiness and perpetuity OF our in.
stitutons-depand upon wing effort, and whig
measures faithfully administered, these interests
are too dear hastily or foolishly to be abandoned
Therefore, come victory or defeat we are for an.
other fight These Cloths and Vandals, should
they succeed in this contest, must be hurled
from power, or the constitution, the Union itself,
and all the blood. bought liberties thereby secured
are gone forever!- Missouri Statesman.
Right: The duty-the imperative duty
-ofthe Great Wing Party of this country,
is palpable and plain. Let their motto be-
"Defeated, but NOT DISMAYEDl -
Let him who talks of disbanding, and yel-
ding those great and immutable princi pies
for which we have so long contended, the
permanent establishment of which we be-
leve to be essential to the perpetuity of our
glorious confederacy, and, which, sooner or
later, must and will be adopted-let him,
we say, who talks Of yielding these princi-
pies, at this conjuncture, go over at once,
TO the ranks Of those who fight but for the
"loaves and fiShes"-who boosted in the late
contest, that opposition to wings and wing
measures, was sufficiently comprehensive
code of principles for them to be governed
by.
The Old Republican Wing Party KNOW
THEIR DUTY TO THEIR COUNTRY, and pro-
Tossing, as they do, to be governed by pat

abiding love of country, now, as in former
days of trouble, and hours of darkness,
they ioiH do that duty.

they elected Gen. HARRISON President of
the United States, and thereby got posses

philosophers, was Unfortunately fond of ro-
mances. 1t is more difficult to believe,
which is asserted, that Sir Isaac Newton
gave implicit credit to the dreams of u.s.

coquette, and probably worse. The truly

THE RESULT.
PROM THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE

FhOh NEW tOkh TRIBUNE
Mr.. Clay is defeated--not the principles
of Mr.. Clay, nor even the man fairly. He
falls sacrifice to conjunction of adverse
influences, such as never before combined
against any man.
/. He is beaten by the most extensive
frauds on the elective franchise ever prac-
tised in the world. Here in our city they
were more enormous than they can have
been elsewhere, though they were not con.
fined to this locality. All around us were
men who never before voted for a wing
candidate, but who resolved to vote, and
did vote, for Mr.. Clay. There can be few
wings among US who do not know several
such instances within their acquaintance.
Then the "Native" question brought some
two or three thousand TO our standard who
never before voted for wing. We know
that there were very many mechanics and
artisans mot "Natives") who voted for Mr..
Clay on the tariff question, who were
never before wings. And yet our official
returns show majority in this city of six
teen hundred against Mr.. Clay, and thirty
five hundred against Mr.. Fillmore, although
Gen. Harrison (under a registry law was
beaten less than one thousand in our city.
No sane man can doubt that for every
change here from Harrison TO Polk, there
were at least ten changes from Van Buren,
to Clay. And yet Van Buren's majority
is nearly doubled against Clay! while the
poll (as full in 1910 as could beg is in
creased twelve thousand, Tor nearly a
fourth.) These facts combine TO show that
by illegal and double voters there were
several thousands of false votes cast against
us--enough, probably, to reverse the State.
We believe that in the State, Gncluding
those illegally naturalized) there were ten
thousand illegal votes against Mr.. Clay, and
not two thousand for them. By these he
is beaten.
2. He is beaten by concentration and
increase of the naturalized vote to resist
Native Americanism. The Native move
ment, though originally Locofoco, obtained
more countenance and sympathy from
wings than from Locofocos. The differ
ence was magnifed and distorted by the
arts Of INSCRIPTIONS demagogues, and
nearly all the naturalized vote--almost quite
all that of the Calholc-was thrown against
him--probably five thousand turned from
US, while as many more were naturalized
for this election expressly to resist Native.
ism. Our gain on this ground was local
and light; our loss was universal and heavy
We foresaw this, but could not prevent it.
8. Abolition has done its worst with us.
1t is easy 10 say, pennsylvania has done
within seven thousand as well as in 1910.
If New York had not done worse, the
State would have been saved" All! but
the Liberty vote of Pennsylvania is some
three or four thousand; that of New York
is some ten or fifteen thousand-possibly
twenty Observation-Disclosures of it taken
from the wings. 1t was not merely the
vote of the Abolitionists that hurt us--their
desperate effects were felt in defaming Mr..
Clay and confusing the public mind with
regard TO Texas. Their assurance made
thousands believe that Clay was as much
an annexationist as Polk.

MRs. JOE ShrTH-Grdad design Of lie

nois, after stating that the recent murder Of
Joe Smith has been followed by disper-
sion Of his followers, gives the following in
teresting items:-" Mrs. Joe Smith, it is
said, has lost all confidence Gf ever she had
any in the Mormon faith. She will soon
retire to some secure situation, undoubtedly
the richest lady in the west. Joe had been

purpose of eventually going to Jerusalem,
intending to issue proclamation calling in

the return Of Christ upon earth which
event he believed would take place As years

the" Ancient of days." The fifty were all
sworn to secrecy. had the fact from one

key to certain movements of the prophet

STEAMER BRUNSWICK Capt. J. p. Moore.
This new craft is nearly completed and
is Of the following dimensions, viz: length
Of keel go feet, ON deck 80 feet; beam 90
feet; hold, feet; guards II feet; height
between the decks, 10 feet; wheels, IS
feet IN diameter, with l0s feet buckets; four
40 inch boilers, "a feet long; engines;
90 inch cylinder with feet stroke. The
state rooms are large and comfortable, and
were built in Millinger's best style Tho
engines were built by Messrs. Wigtman &
co.
The Brunswick was built under the su.
perintendence Of James Wood esq. and
capt. Moore, at Walkers ship yard, for ,hs
Missouri river; and we have no hesitation
in saying better boat OF her class never
floated on the western waters. Her draft
will be about three feet, and she will carry
five hundred tons down stream. CAPT.
Moore has bull, several boats in our CITY.
and the best evidence that they have given
satisfaction, is that he came back to build
this boat.
The Brunswick will leave for St. Louis
in few days, and we hand her over 10 our

well that they will do her ample Justice

NOV. lUtll.
On this morning the House of Represen-
tatives proceeded to complete the organiza-
ton of that House. The first thing after
the reading of the Journal of yesterday,
being the election of an enrolling Clerk;
when that was announced by the Speaker,
members were popping up in different d.
rections, till some eight or ten were put in
nomination; this office being beneath the
dignity of caucus nomination, and after
divers ballotings, Mr.. Basket, of the county
of Galloway, received a majority of all the
votes given and was declared duly elected.
Next in order, was the election of Ser
geant Arms for the House; ten or a
dozen being nominated, and amongst them,
Richard Brannin of Howard county, who,
after several ballotings, was elected to fill
that office.
