But the Governor has Intentionally insulted Inc

He has charged me with dishonor. and fear tc

He has ''braggingly' proclaimed that he cam,

RAILROADS IN MrssouRI.--The Senate

of lands to Missouri, TO aid in the construc-

House yesterday, and now only awaits the
concurrence of the Senate in regard to
amendments that have been introduced.
For this result the citizens of Missouri
are largely indebted to the unremitting efforts

third Congressional district of that State

the success 10 this measure, notwithstand-

without injustice to others, be in the main
attributed to the tact and zeal which he has

Mr.. Winston Speech at Fayettc.

Mr.. Winston, Wing candidate for Gov
ernor, addressed the people Of Howard, at
Foyette, on Monday last lie had a very
large audience, the Court House being lit
orally cramlncd, ard spoke abont an hour and
half.
He set out hy rc8retting that his opponent

that the people might hear them both, ask
them questions as to their views, and thus
have an opportunity of judging between their
principles, and the policy that would govern
them in the event of their election. He
would not discuss national politics, because
he was candidate for State office. Were
he Z candidate for Congress, it would be
right and proper to discuss Federal policy,
but being candidate for Governor, he would
conhne himsclfto State policy, and the course
ne should pursue, if elected. 1t vas proper,
however, to state that he was q Wing

as that party adhered to its well known
principles and policy, and maintained its ma

of parties, illustrating the nationality of the
wing party, and showing that, on all occa-
sions, they were for the Union and the Con-
stitution for their country in preference to
office and party success. They did not stop
10 ask what effect this or that question would
have on the party, or whether it would waft
them into office, but, was it right? If so
their position was at once taken. When
under the administration of Jackson, nulif.
cation, secession and disunion were threat

defence of the Union. When the lamentec
Harrison died, and Tyler sought to com
promise Wing principles and policy, the!

of the Union to the other. Such was eve
their course. Their countryside who'll

The agony is over, and 10, Pcarce comes FORTH
On the 49th ballot Gen. Pearce of N. H., received
all but about half dozen votes. Cass and Doug
lass each received two votes on the final ballot
There is great rejoicing and great roaring of can
non.
The above is the substance of the dispatches re-
ceived by the Republican Office, from Baltimore, at
4 O'Clock this afternoon. The general cry among
all men of all parties is ''who is Gen. Pearcc ?''
The action of the Convention is at present riddle
and mystery TO every body. The Democratic
journals will, Of course, soon have an extensive and
nice spun biography of this new champion of De-
mocracy. Although they profess great reverence
for principles, without any regard for men, we
shall doubtless have our ears RECALLED with the he
roic exploits and chivalrous deeds Of this "new
fledged' Democratic chieftain. The Democracy
of ST. Louis are not oveI-powcred with rejoicing
at present. but will no doubt be exceedingly elated
when they get history of their candidate from
their eastern correspondents and journals.
Gen. SCOTS prospects of being the Wing candi-
date for the Presidency, will probably be increased
by the nomination that has been made. The old
General could doubtless surpass his junior as far
in political fight in the tented field But should
our present glorious President be honored with he
nomination, no Wing should fear the result.
Favorable reports being received of the do
ings and sayings of our worthy chief standard
bearer in this State. The Wings of st. Louis are
on tip-toe 10 see and hear that patriotic and tai
ented Wing, "JM WINSTON" He is expected
here soon and along with him no little of the spirit
and patriotism of the ilustrious Patrick Henry.
| The Wing ticket of st. Louis county gives very
general satisfaction. The Democratic, on the con-
trary, is not suited TO either wing of the party; and
TO the Antics, with few exceptions, it is odious.
Judge Hough fatty contradicts the statements of
