guard Abolition concern, nor do we wish
to and but for seeing it mentioned ap-
provingly in northern abolition prints, and
some little dirty Know Nothing sheets In
this State, would suppose that its sickly
existence had long since drawn 10 close.
1t was long ago kicked out of decent COM
pany. The Wings kicked it out of their
party the Know n othing legislative eau-
Gus held in this city few weeks since,
kicked it out of the American party /; and
We expect 10 see the Abolitionists kick it
cut of their party next. The editor Mitch
ell, was not exactly kicked out of Ken
tucky several years since-not physically
kicked out, byan application of boot leath
er-but kicked out by public opinion
Soon after he appeared In this State, where
he has become notorious from his attempts
to ''wring i'm on some party, and contemp-
tuous treatment of his claims and but for
the brazeness he had acquired from expe-
rience, we might reasonably hope that pub
lie opinion would finally succeed IN kick
ing him out of this State also.
We must however, hope that he will sue
ceed in fastening himself on the Ameri-
can party. For if Democracy cannot
beat that party without him, it is certaiu to
beat it with him, We have already been
accused of slandering the American party
because we charged that the Intelligencer
was Know-Nothing organ and we know
that LEAKING and weil-informed members
ofthe American party estimate that the
disconnection of the Intelligencer with that
party will be a gain to it of about ten thou
sand votes! Itis big figure but un-
doubtediy true. Indeed, we calculate on
an accession of much more than. ten thou
sand votes to the Democracy as the result
of convincing the Order that there is such
a sheet In existence and that it correctly
represents the doctrines of the American
party.
We shall have suggestion to urge on
this point when the campaign fully opens /;
and that is, that the Democratic party raise
a fund which shall be appropriated to ma
king the Inteiligencer known over the
State, and to purchasing large numbers of
it for gratiuous distribution among the
members of the Order.
The Abolitionists of Massachusetts,
when they formed their Emigrant Aid So
ciety to Abolitionize Missouri and Kanas,
misled by this same Intelligencer-w which
always speaks as pompously as if it was
known throughout Missouri, and held the
destinies of her people in It's hands-sup-
posed our citizens would make no opposi-
ton to the consumation of their schemes,
and therefore scattered over the State, the
programmes of their intended operations.
The effect was very reverse Of what the IN
telligeneer had led them to expect. The
people of Missouri stood UP In self defence
and repeIled the fanatieal invaders; and
now the Abolitionists themselves see thai
the Intelligencer deceived them. They
now know that they might have stolen a
march on Missouri, had they not follishly
| listened to the councils of such sheets as
the Inteiligencer, and gave our people an
insight to their plans. And a similar eff
ect will the connection of the InteligenceI
with the American party have on the mem
bers of that party In this StaIe. We have
only TO say, therefore, thai the worst fate
we can wish the American party in this
State. is to be represented by such sheet
as the ST. Louis IntelIigencer. The fact
or the sheet itself, has only to become
known throughout the State to bury the
Order beyond the hope of resurrection
