ST. LOUIS,

This city is establishing a name
which is anything but enviable. First,
we have the great confagration, sup
posed TO have been set on foot by in.
cendiaries; next the city is thrown into
excitement by the Wise and Hart af.
fair; then comes the bank robbery; then
mob, which attacks and destroys sew.
eral houses. together with their contents
the abandoned tenants and the mob fir
ing pistols and hurting stones at each
other; and bu, few days since, man
sees another man talking TO his wife in
a store, when be cooly walks up and
shoots him in the back. All these oc.
currcnces, besides hundreds of the same
nature, on a smaller scale, have trans
PRED within the last few months. In
cendiaries post their placards, warning
the citizens to beware; unotfending cit.
liens are knocked down and robbed
and upon the whole, the rowdys and
thieves appear to be decidedly in the
ascendant. The municipal regulations
of the city must be in bad hands, and
il behooves those who reside there, and
whose interests are identified with the
place, TO beslir themselves, and rid the
city Of unfailhful officers and The herds
of Williams which infest it, at the same
blow.

Gentlemen:-I received your official
letter. in behalf Of the Freemen of the Re-
serve, inviting me to unite with them, at
Cleveland, in celebrating the anniversary
of the passage Of the Ordinance of 1897,
on the 18th Of July next | concur en-.
tirely in opinion as to the wisdom of that
great measure, and | am glad that it has
secured to the States, on which it ope-
rates, an exemption from the evils Of Sla-
very. Butthe event Of the passage Of the
Ordinance has never, within my knowl-
edge, been celebrated in any one OF the
sixty-one years. which has since inter-
vened. 1t is proposed for the first time
to commemorate it. 1t is impossible to
disguise the conviction, that this purpose
originates out Of the question, now unfor-
tunately agitating the whole Union. of tho
introduction Of Slavery into New Mexico
and California. Whilst no one can be
more opposed than am to the extension
Of Slavery into those new territories, eli
Their by the authority Of Congress, or by
individual enterprise, should be unwii-
ling to do anything to increase the pre-.
valing excitement. | hope that the ques.
ton will be met. in a spirit of calmness
and candor, and finally settled in a man.
ner to add strength and stability. instead
of bringing any danger, to the existence
Of our Union. In all our differences Of
opinion, we should never cease to remem-
Der that we are fellow citizens OF one
and glorious country, nor to ex-
ercise mutual and friendly forbearance.
But, Gentlemen, waving all other con-
indispensable engagements
will prevent my attendance on the occa-
sion, which you have done me the honor
to invite me.
With great respect | am,
Your friend and ob't servant,

'rate it, but in fact attempts to appropriate
