republication and know-nothingsn. The democracy
have presented ticket with the Hon Trusten Polk at its
headhe distinguished and eloquent democrat who
was put Ia nomination from Delaware for the vice pres
dency, and whom Missouri promptly withdrew, on the
ground that the first shock of battle in that State
duty to the democracy Of Missouri and the whole Union
demanded that there should be change OF front
that special battlefield and that his eloquent voice must
not be hushed at this the hour Of impending danger The
New Jersey delegation voted for him even after he
was thus Withdrawn In the congressional districts the

James s. Green james Craig D. Y. Richmond and
Thomas O. Reynolds In the southeast district the democ
racy have put forward the Hon Samuel Caruthers and in
the district nominations TO be made Mon
day we believe In the southwest district the Hon. John
s. Phelps than whom sterling, efficient talented
and honored member of Congress has not been Wash
ngton for years, has two competitions know nothing
and Bentonian black republican. Inthe ST. Lous dis
trict Mr. Reynolds has also oompetorsthe present
know-nothing member Mr. Kennett, and r. p. Blair, r,
black republican. In the southeast Mr. Caruthers has
Stevenson, a black republican. In the centre Thomas L.
Price the black republican, unanimously denied admission

between the Benton black republican forces and the
know-nothings by which coalition legislature is to be
elected If possible that the bargain for two United
States senators may carried out the electoral vote of the
State thrown away Fillmore, and the choice for the

corrupt bargain and sale Let the South look Missouri
and how false the southern knownohings there to
the vital issues the slavery question: and be warned in
time Col Benton has consented to for the purpose of
perfectng the coalition. STILL friends there conf

them they carry their State and congressional tickets
and overthrow the combined hosts of the opposition Never

more hardfought field been seen in the United States
The trickery of Benton Blair Price Co., in denouncing
the platform, and protesting to be for Buchanan and
Breckenridge in order to entrap the unwary, has been
promptly met The odline wings are rushing to the res

In Illinois the fusion between the know-nothngs
and black republicans is complete They have COM
mon ticket Colonel Richardson is at the head of the
democratic ticket and Colonel Bisse at the head OF
the fusion. There the Trumbulls and Wentworths are

In the States the game is being played with
only such difference in details the character Of the
States requires In Missouri defeat would surely await an
open and avowed fusion; consequently, Benton Co. pre-
tend to be for Buchanan and against the PLATFORM insist
ing that Mr. Buchanan and Colonel Benton agree on the
Kansas question: and opposed to the Cincinnati plat
