fact Of no mean significance in the present
posture Of Missouri politics. that Henry S.
Geyer is on the side OF true patriotism-is
firmly planted on the platform OF the Ma

lei us add tina, our course and principles are
completely vindicsled. The platform for
which we buuIed last summer--for which,
amid the incendiary and stupid cry Of Free
SoiIism" we sounded the charge for John G.
Miller, is the platform OF Gsyer and the
Wing party OF the State and Union. He is
shoulder TO shoulder with US and we with
him.
Thirdly: That, having distinctly declar
ed, and confidently" that the power OF
Congress neUer acGS understood as test "in
any OF the warm contests between the Wing
and Democratic parties since their first or
gdnization," he boldly announces cha, if

temptation by others, it can receivs DO sup,
port or countenance" from him. D-J-Please
TO stick another pin there!
Fourthly: There are many wings and
democrats, (says Mr.. Geyer,) who entertain
the opinion avowed by me, and believe still
a greater number of each party who hold the
opposite in respect 10 the disputed power. -
And another pin there! What wonderful

Filthy He never asked the question Of
Wing candidate what his views were on
the subject Of the power, and had voted for
many who conceded it. And still another
pin there, If you please! or SO little con,
sequence did he regard the subject that he
never even inquired what candidates thought
about it, and voted for Mr.. Darby last An.
gust without then knowing, or knowing now,
his opinions as to the power. Why, in this
part Of the State last canvass a few men
tried to make people believe tina, the ques,
ton OF power was "the all absorbing quos-
tion"-lhat, like Aaron's rod it swallowed
up everything, even the wing party itself;
and that its influence and importance were
so uanscendent its powers Of transformation
so magical, that men best demonstrated their
whiggery by voting for Locofocos! or by
no, voting at all although true and genuine
wings were on the field!
But we are done with the subject 10 day.
The thanks OF the country, OF the whole
Wing party, are due Mr.. Geyer Tor his let,

mony in the Wing ranks. They save the
party, Slate and Federal. from the whirlpool
Of useless strife-from fierce contest about
goats wool" They rebut the presumption,
sought to be circulated by some. that those
who differ with him in regard TO the ques-
