ST. LorIs, Aug 10, 1855.
DEAR SIR was disappointed in the result OF yor
election the signs in the district as went throur
il encouraged me in the belief that you would ucceed
was also disappointed in my own, but do not regret
having made the canvass; nor do l consider "a lost
the labor in travelling and speaking which II cost me.
Tie exercise, though severe has been good for me,
and necessary, after my long sudious and seden
tary courSe o. lfe. | feel greatly inygorsted byf.
The Intercourse with the people has been most graty
ing They came to see me in masses, aud with cor.
diality, Along the whole line OF travel, aud nowhere
more numerously or cordia!y thsn IN the border
counties where some people had supposed | was 10
have had an unwecome reception NY only regret
was that | could not have remained longer at each
place. Personally, the canvass has been most agree
able to me, and politically, think i mas been good
for the State IN aeping to revive the sentiment Of
nationality anu contributing 10 allay the feeling Of
sectional antagonisp, now too strong for the SAFETY Of
the Unop, and which evay patriotic consideration re-
lures TO be Gained
There ia design here on the part of some to put Up
an ee tora, ticket for Fremont, about which no one
spesks TO me, have character enough TO Keep at
a distance all that class OF persons who, dshohorabe
themselves could approach man with dshonorable
proposition But my sentiments are known, and thstl
should consider such step as injurious under every
aspect mortifyng to Fremont hIlGse from the small
vote Which the ticket would receive-and Injurious To
the public by aggrayatirg the sectional feeling which
now arrays each half of the Ubon against the other
wss oppoepg the bringing out of Fremont for nearly
half year before those who charge me with promot
il o il knew of any such design. There are cases IN
which public duty rises above eersona eousderstions
though there are a great many people who cannot
conceive it possible. Thus, when supported Jack
son with whom had been on i'll term), thirty years
ago the sordid motive of Office was assigned tor 1t;
now. when support Buchanan with whom am on
III teImsl, and support bim against member of my
own family, the same class of persons can see nothing
in il but falsehsod and treachery. Incapable them
selves of anything disnterested and patriotic, they be-
ieve Others to be equally so and stack with base
motives all the actions which above the compre-
henson Of their political morality.
The full result of the Governors election is not yet
known here, but enough is known TO determine the
condition on which electoral ticket is to be with
drswp The other side oald not agree to propo-
ston; but this refusal TO do what right makes
difference TO US and shall have the qualification
latter having forced Buchanan upon them at Ciucin-
nati to make them carry him over the S,ste-pre-
tending to be for him, while regreing that they had
not been able to Kill him in the Convention
proceed to Washington Immediately, TO gather up
material for my" Abrdgment OF the Debates of Con-
gress and return in October, that being work which
I can carry on here.
Very truly and sincerely yoguy, ,rvro,
THoa.s L. PAIGE, Bsq.
We heartily ccncur with Col. Benton that his
canvass for Governor has hsd a sautsry effect a.
though he is defeated, and we regret that he dOes
not see that running Fremont for Psesident and
ele citing him, will likewise tend to revive the
sentiment of Nationality and allay the feelings Of
ssctiC nsl aDtagonism."
