for the amount, and gentlemen. Learned in

con, and at IL they went, tooth and rail,
with ,ha, zeal which plenty OF ready each
and wealthy clients can always command.
The fight was warm; the evidence in the
case was taken BY commission in the city
of Cincinnati, and the result Of the exami-
ton OF witnesses there was. that the great
| Barnumsd'scoyeved that for the once in his

fair that Barnum should pay him hs dam

WILSON sHAxxos's LETTER.

| On the eve OF the Ohio election, some Of
| the Administration or pro-slavery journals
published letter purporting to be written
by Governor Shannon, which was address
ed to Col. Medsry of the Ohio Statesman,
, and was intended TO influence the election
in that State. We noticed that this letter
was published in the 81. Louis Republican
in q much shorter time than it could have
been received at st. Louis from Columbus,
and in fact the whole matter bears upon It's
face the evidence Of collision for the par
ticular purpose above indicated. We have
as yet seen no reasons for doubling the
substantial correctness Of the account as
originally published in the ST. Louis Demo
crat, and shall continue to believe il until j,
is contradicted by better testimony lhan
any which has been brought against it
Even the letter purporting to be written BY
Gov. Shannon, though il denies tina, in his
Westport speech the new Governor said he
was for slavery in Kansas, does not deny
that he approved and endorsed the action of
the Kansas-Missouri Legislature, and to
approve that action, is 10 be for slavery in
Kansas. So that whichever way the mat
ter be interpreted, the result is the same
1t is mere suibbling on words, and though
it may seem q little curious that SO old
disciple as Gov. Shannon should feel at all
sensitive about being known as belonging
to the siric,est sect Of the slavery prJpa-
gandists. all the mystery vanishes, when
we remember that this letter was vamped
up for the purpose Of deceiying the voters of
Ohio.
II was also circulated in Ohio, just be-
fore the election, that the removal Of Shan
non had been determined upon in Cabi-
net meeting. We venture, however, to
say that no such promise will be kept. We
doubt not that in all he has done in con-
nection with his new appointment he has
followed his instructions, and though the
leaders at Washington would not hesitate
to sacrifice him the moment it appeared 10
be their interest to do so, they would on the
same ground Of interest retain him as long
a. he continues to be the facile instrument
for executing their commands.
There is one satisfaction, however, to be
derived from all this shutting. and especial
ly from the feeble attempts TO deny the
statements made BY Shannon in his West
port speech,-and that is the involuntary
homage which even the Administration and
its par,sans are obliged to pay the republi.
can sentiment Of the country. That senti-
inert is too strong to be openly opposed,
and the only hope is TO deceive it. But in
the present instance the reign of faseI.ood
can be but Of brief duration, and though a
number of honest Democrats who are OPP
posed to the further aggressions of the slave
power, may have been induced to vote for
their party candidates in Ohio and Penn
syIvania, by the misrepresentation Of their
party leaders, the elections in those States
being over, the real aims Of the Admins
tration will be made more apparent than
ever, and the same voters will not be de- /
ceiyed second time.
