Democratic banner., 1846-08-17
MI. Henly, Democrat is elected to the

Legislature in Montgomery county.
i@We4sxEH=thsE the whig voters were d.
yided between III. Johnson, and A. y
tforshey, Esq, both wings, which accounts
for the democratbeing elected in the nth
Ierto good whiR county of Montgomery:
Bowling Green Journal
No, no, ME.editor, tie WING votes were
not divided between Messrs. johnson and
|Forshey. Mr.. Johnson had withdrawn from
THE canvass; and the contest was between
|Henly and Forshey alone. You must &C
count for the result of the election in some
other way. The "litherto good wing coun-
Ity of Montgomery" had not two Wing can
ldidates in the field on the day of the cleo
Ition. Your informant has again imposed
upon your credulity.
From the returns which We have recr'r-
ed, we are Inclined to the opinion thst ti'
proposed constitution has been reject q.
1t was expected that this portion Vt Mis-
eouri would give a large majority in It's IA
|vor; but it seems to have disappointed Tic
expectations Of all. So far as heard from
there is a majority of more than 2 thousand
against it. Monroe county gave a larger
vote in its favor than any county i'll TIC
North East of Missouri. This may be
partly attributed to the warm and Jealous
support Of the editor of the Paris Mercury,
who was an able and untiring advocate of
the instrument. In Marion the press and
the people have been most decided in their
opposition. Pike has given a majority of
3Sl in its favor, and Lincoln 2O5.' The 9TH
er counties to be heard from it is expected
will increase the majority against it.
The corn icrop in this county has been!
materially injured by the drought, and the
weather continues unfavorable to vegeta-
lion. The upper Mississippi is so how that,
steamboat navigation is becoming difficult.
We are indebted to Hon c. b. Smitl.
Of Ia, and the Hon John A. Rockwell of.
Connecticut for public favors.
We received a from all intelligent
Democrat of st. Louis, bearing date the
18th inst from which we make the follow
ng extract:
"1 am happy TO inform you that an ar
rangement has just been effected to unite
the two democratic papers, the Reporter

been to restore union and harmony to the
democratic ranks. / trust and believe iii
will have the desired effect; and that we
will hear no more of "hordS'a and sqfts."i
All true Democrats will rejoice in such a.
We are equally happy to hear of such an
arrangement, and we arden,ly desire that,
our correspondents anticipations may be
realized. The senseless clamor of hard
md soft has been kept up too long for Tie
good of the Democratic party. The sooner
t is hushed, and the quicker the breach is
closed the better. We can then move for
