selves Democrats, in and about this city. and
with deep and subtle design. The course
of the Evening Post has constrained suspi-
cions in my mind that its editors know more
or less about it. One object of this intrigue
sticks out very plainly. 1t is to iniure in the
South the patriotic old Hero Of San Jacinto.
My feelings towards, and my opinion of, that
distinguished soldier and statesman, are well
known to my friends, and / am gratifed to
see that this attempt to place him in false
position, and to prejudice him, like the ma
chinationS of his enemies in past times, will
be frustrated and result TO his honor. Being
the only southern candidate as yet presented
for the Presidency, it is to be expected that
some Of the political intriguants Of the other
sections, and some his own, jealous of him,
and afraid of his strength with the people,
will assail him in every way they can, Sc
cretly, covertly, and unfairly, oftener than
openly. | rejoice to believe that they will
make nothing for themselves by their mean
and unmanly tricks and devices.

The true Democrats, in this State deserve
it for keeping bad company. Thrashing
and starvation are the only remedies to re-
store them to sound political health. If they
would emulate Daniel s. Dickinson, there
would be some hope il Isreal. As ii is tie
case is desperate.
And desire YOU to say to the Missouri
