MissoUR,.-The Official returns of the cleo
ton in the sixth congressional district, (Mo.,)
showing the great triumph Of Hon. s. Phelps,
have not yet come to hand. The Jefferson
(Mo) Examiner speaks Of it as follows:

Is IT TRUE we hear it stated that some OF
our leading men in this city, belong to the
Know Nothing organization. We can hardly
believe this report, although circumstances
connected with the permanent establishment OF
the 6. Observer" Know Nothing organ, seem
to confirm its truth A principle so adverse 10
the peace and welfare of society; SO Antagonists
tic to social order and harmony; and so at war
with the principles Of civil and religious liberty
and the perpetuity of our form Of government,
it seems to us, should not command the conf
dence of men of intelligence and responsibility
in the community. The chief ingredient OF
this new politico religious element, is pros
crption; and If those who embark in it, are dis
covered and prescribed in their business and
social intercourse, they mus, no. complain; for
they have set,he example and are only receiv
ing in one form, what they administer in an
other.
The time will come, when every man who
attaches himself 10 such an organization will be
known and marked and made to suffer the pen
atty of his folly.

THE MISSISSIPPI BRIDGE.

The Dubuque Express, in its article on Tues
day opposing the construction of bridge across
the Mississippi river at this point, is using the
stale arguments applied in the case BY those
editors who opposed it in its incipiency They
a e all exploded, and our friend might with as
much proprieiy apply some of the old objec-
tons 10 the construction Of q Railroad from
Davenport to Council Bluff, TO the progress OF
that great work. The building of bridge
across the Mississippi is part of that enter.
prise, and rs well might the Express avow its
disbelief of the progress of that Road, as to
doub, the construction Of bridge here
We can inform the Express that this bridge
riH be built, ,caL he permitted to stand, and
soiU not prove obstruction to navigation,
and if its editor will visit the site he can satisfy
himself without further words, OF the entire
truth Of the observation Gazette.
We beg to inform the editor of the Gazette,
that the Miners Express was the first paper to
speak out agans, the construction OF this bridge
and that, in our last Tuesdays No., we were
only recaptulating the arguments used wher
the project was first started.
The editor asserts positively that the bridge
will be built, and that it will remain when built
Perhaps he may be correct, but we do not be
lieve it. If this bridge may be built, forty, OIL
hundred other bridges may with the same
propriety, be built; and it is sheer nonsense t.
talk about their not being on obstruction to the
navigation of the river, and tax upon the
commerce Of the Mississippi.
If that bridge proves no obstruction to sea
,oorthy boats, it certainly will prove an obstruc'
ton to RATS, and it will be borne in mind, thai
the numbering trade is no inconsiderable part o
the commerce of the Mississippi. This trade
is increasing every year, and short time viii
behold it the most extensive branch Of trade we
have.

could not have been deaf, Reverend Sir, to the
appeals which were made in the kindest spirit
by both Mr.. Douglas and Mayor Millkens, te
allow the speaking to proceed uninterrupted
and to observe order. You could not have been
ignorant of the fact that Mr.. Douglas was
threatened with mob violence long before he
reached Chicago, and that after his friends had
announced him to speak, you and your Adolf.
ton confederates were industrious in concoct-
ing and circulating rumors respecting The arm
ing, and the determination of violence on the
part Of his friends; and in distributing incendi-
arg pla-cards, designed TO mislead the public
and promote open and undisguised violence
You admit, Reverend Sir, that you were in the
streets on Friday, listening TO knot here and .
knot there Of excited creatures, discussing the
means by which Mr.. Douglas should be put
down. You tell us in the language of exulta.
tion of the flags at half mast, and the toiting Of
bells on churches, to call the mob together All
this have we learned from you and your fritnds
who report you. Will you then wonder that
your conduct has both surprised and mortified
those who have been accustomed to sit under
your preaching, and lis en- to the words of ad-
monition which fell from, what they supposed
sacred lips' Can you accuse them of injustice,
when they arraign you as the first TO disregard
those great lessons Of wisdom drawn from the
Bible, and as a wanton violater of the Divine
Commandments which you have so often held
up to their fears and hopes' You know the
good old Book says-and none are more famil-
iar with it's holy teachings than YOURSELF" ioUe
your enemies, do good TO those that despitefutiy
use you" "lf your enemy smite you on one
cheek, turn the other" 90 Vengeance is mine
saith the Lord, &c, &c. These are Divine adj
monitions which you are wont to present from The
Pulpit, as all potent and indispensable for the
salvation Of the soul. And yet, your conduct
outside of the Sacred Desk, forces your friends
10 the conclusion, that either you are wanting
in faith to your God, or your preJudices are so
