fierce contest that for a long time, was carried on
between the Two sections OF that party in the
great State Of Missouri. The war between The

character, and threatened our supremacy in that
thorough Democratic Stale. We rejoice that
new and brighter face has been pu, upon matters
there. The cscordant elements have, al length

Wings was, and is in our dssensions. In ST.
Louis that hope has been totally destroyed. AT
late meeting of the Democratic party, 10 select
candidates for the approaching State Convention,
to reform the Constitution, the lizards" and the
"Softs" forgot their old animosi,ie., and patriot
cally met together upon The same platform, by
the nomination of six good and true men, as a
compromise ticket. The Reporter abiding 10
