MIR. MILLER IN LEWIS AND
CLARK.

Our correspondents, says the Ms
souri, Statesman, in the counties of Lew
is and Clark--the former the home of
Mr.. Green--give cheering accounts Of
John G. Miller's success. One of them
writing from FULLY, Lewis county, on
the 3Oth May, says:
We of the northern part Of the Dis.
trict will give MIR. Miller one Of those
old fashioned votes that we are capable
Of giving when we are in earnest. AT
such time, and with such man as
John 6. Miller as our standard bearer,
if we do not succeed il will be the fault
of the Wings of the District. But TO
make everything sure, the north the
centre and the south must work. II is
not sufficient TO elect Mr.. Miller, but
we must roll up such majority that
the factions, when united, can never
come near us. This is not the time to
fail, for our glorious Union is in dan
ger; by working for Miller, we work
for the Wing party and the Union
They are one and inseparable. In Of
ter days when the present disunior
party shall have sunk 10 the level of the
Hartford Conventionists, who is there
that will not look back and proud,
exclam, that was Wig of 1850
Let the Wings occupy high conserva
tive grounds for the Union. and th,
party and the country must triumph.
Another correspondent writing from
Alexandria. Clark county says:
| Our Circuit Court is now in session
and from what have learned from
conversation with number of Wings
can safely say Miller will be tn
choice of majority of the Wings o
Clark. Miller should come up here ant
address the people, as it is the stronI
hold of his opponent.
