ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6, Is

DEAR TIMEs:-Fearing that your extreme
sensiiblity, under the present affective
dispensation of Locofoism, may prevent you
from announcing to your patrons and the
great Democratic public the result of the
recent Presidential election, | take this
mournful opportunity of stating TO your
readers that the candy-date of what is
known in this country as the Democratic
party, Gen. Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp-
shire, has been chosen, almost unanimously,
President Of the United States of America,
including Cuba, Canada, Kamschatka and
Liberia. This announcement, | hope, will
afford far greater pleasure TO the Democrat
cy of interior Missouri than it has thus far
afforded 10 the iunterrifcd" of st. Louis.
Indeed, but for the professed reioicings of
the Union and Democrat, the opponents of
Democracy in this quarter, we should hard
ly know that Franklin Pierce, Esq, is the
Democratic President elect. 1t is my hon
est conviction that the intelligent portion of
the great 'unwashed'' are heartily ashamed
Of what has been done. The ofiice-seekers
in justice TO their professed zeal, | should
add, raise some faint clamor of rejoicing,
but from this class Of persons we of course,
expect some 'noise,'' and not little "con-
fusion" Among others who have been Joy
fully clamorous over the result is one Ed
mund Flngg, late editor of the defunct
Times. This gentleman, as you are per-
haps aware, makes some pretensions to lit
erature, and received the honorable ap-
pointment Of Consul TO Venice, under a
Wing Administration. He, at least, de-
serves credit, for his sagacity in foretellng
coming events, and hosting his fugg be-
forehand upon the ramparts of office. The
scramble for the petty offices of government
in this State, within the gift of the chief ex-
ecutivc, will be magniiicently great, and
those Locos who have cried out loudest at
the removal of Democrats from office by the
present administration, will again be heard
shouting Justify for the removal of all
wings who may be so unfortunate as to be
officers of government when Capt. Pierce
assumes the Presidential Chair.
The Benton men have commenced CRYING
"down with the Antics '-they are not the
true democracy, and have no claims to any
Of the fat offices that Mr.. Pierce, will have
at his disposal. "Ingratitude more strong
than traitors arms, will vanqush" all Anti
office-seekers. Again repeat, there'll be
great scramble for the ''loaves and fishes. {"
The local news is stale and improbable, y
and I have no disposition to bore your read
ers with it.
We are surprised to see in this age Of
peace and prosperity, SO many Of your eti-
zens resorting to arms. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that they have no hostile intentions,
but that they are only preparing for self
preservation and continuation, and not for
deeds Of death and destruction. What DO
sition do you occupy, Mr.. Editor, in these
troublous times? You should be up and
doing, bearing alolt your-Times (not Ban
ner, } "all over whose ample folds should be
streaming in letters of" liquid ink, the wo-
men and Times, lone and inseparable, now
and forever" We have cause to congratu-
late ourselves upon the specimens of wives
you have sent to our city, and feel au-
thorized in saying, that if you shave few
more of the same sort left, you have but TO
give the young men Of st. Louis the slight
est hint, through the press, or otherwise,
and they will be speedily taken off your
hands, and no questions asked.
Yours, T.
