The election of Henry S. Geyer. A
general invitation to members, visitors
and citizens, was given. 1t is estima.
ted tina, over 400 persons were pres
en,. Men of all parties met and min.
gled together as friends. forgetting the
excitement Of the past, indulging in the
festivities OF The occasion with hearty
good will. Everything was served up
by our old friend Basye in superior
style. The table was furnished with all
the Injuries Of the season. The high
pyramids of ornamented pound cake,
with all the "chicken frenS," were soon
demolished by an anxious crowd of
speciators-next came the huge bowls
of oyster soup. and if you have ever
witnessed an oyster supper where there
were hungry men, you ought TO have
seen this. TO have satisfied you that you
know nothing about it. Tie flowing
bottles of Champagne and other liquors
with fine regala cigars, came in for
due share Of attention by The crowd.
A speech or two and several good anec'
do,es closed the ceremonies, when all
wen, home, animated lhhigh spirits,
and buoyant hopes.
For the last two days the business of
both Houses has been mostly of local
character.
About twenty-five members were
absent on leave including the commit,

On Thursday petition was presen.
ted TO the House, purporling TO be from
Cape Girarudeau county, rejecting

sets forth that inasmuch as all the great
interests of Southern Missouri, have

draining Of the swamp lands, organi.

streams, and developing the mineral
resources, have been neglected, there.

The Union Party-Its Object.

A certain set of politicians in our country, who
have arrogated to themselves the merit of being
the especial friends and champions of the Union
are laboring very zealously in the attempt to con-
struct Union Constitutional party into which the
country for years past has been divided. In order
to manufacture some pretext for this conspiracy,
the plotters of the '.Union party" have raised
the cry that the conederacy is in danger, and that
to save it, is necessasy to abandon old party dis
tnctions. A few months since, when the aggres-
sions of abolitionism threatened to become abso-
utely ntoerable, the ardent friends of the South,
perceiving the irreparable injury inflicted upon
their cause by party divisions and party dissen-
sions, determined to suspend mere partizan con-
tests and to unite every hand and heart in the de-
fence of Southern Rights. At the announcement
of this determination these very men who are now
striving to oberate party distinctions stood aghast
They saw nothing but treason in combination OF
parties to protect Southern Rights. They them
selves plotting the destruction of partizan
distinctions, for the mere purpose Of ctutchlng the
spoZs of office Yes, this is the corrupt and selfish
purpose of those pretended patriots the horizon OF
whose aspirations never extends in circle wider
than the circumference of a dollar. The object
of the Union party to preserve the confederacy
The mode they have selected for the accomplish
ment of their professed purpose exposes the fasity
of their pretences. The Union party is to be COM
posed of men who deny the right OF secession un-
der any circumstances, and excludes those who
dislike the present operation of the Federal Gov
ernment, and who would not hesitate between the
dissolution of the Union and the tame surrender OF
their rights. Thus the Union party strives to di-
vide political sentiment into party of theoretical
secessionists In word, the Union party labors
to effect the formation of Disunion party. Now,
suppose the Union and Disunion parties organized
A contest will Immediately begin to be waged be-
tween them. They will exasperate one another by
elimination and re-crimination. By mutual repui-
sion each would drive the other into violent
extreme. Each would strive to put in practice
their speculative doctrines. The Disunion party
would exercise a right which they asserted Il

Something TO Reflect UDOP,

The census returns for the State of MARYLAND,
show an increase of only one thousand in her slave
population for the last ten years All her surplus
negroes have been carried South and sold. Thus
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, slowly, pre-
pairing the way for the ultimate overthrow of sa-
very in Virginia and Maryland-in plain English,
we are paying them to become cmancpationists.
Already has the slave population of Maryland cess
ed to show any material increase in period of ten
years. If it fall off in the ratio for the next
ten, Maryland will show an actual decrease of ten
thousand slaves Then will commence the down
fall of slavery. Our people, and especially our
law givers, should think of these things. We have
heard it estimated that Virginia has sent 25,
600 negroes South the present winter, 0,O00 of
whom have been brought to Georgia These
things are daily passing before our eyes, and yet
no one seems to think or reflect upon the dangers
that are locked up in the future.-Nessenger.
