into the rooms Of the Democratic Conyenton against the
democratic nominee Mr. Douglass in order TO carry OF
votes enough TO elect the know-nohing nominee Mr.
Woodson he has also brought oat in the way friend
in the districts Of Mr. Caruhers and OF Mr. Oliver TO enable
the knownothng nominees to defeat Mr. Caruhers and
Mr. Craig the candidates Of the democratic party Some
ofthese may succeed in destroying the hopes
of the democracy, but the GRAND RESULT will be- as we
have every from Missouri the hanging Of Ha
man on bis own gallows Benton has failed to secure
votes enough for himself to elect Ewing over Polk The
election Of Polk may be considered certain Benton has
been unable TO rally upon himself his old friends and il is
becoming SO doubtful whether he can retain his hold in
St Louis upon any other than German socialists and the
regular b at as Geographic despatch of last
Saturday tells us he has abandoned all his appotu,s,s
in northern Missouri alono line Of four hundred miles
and il on his way to ST Louis 10 save Blair from aunbil
ton. If possblel
To do this there il lint one wavtranser from Kennet
to Blair the Ireesol part Of the kpowpotbnq party OF
the Germans, Blair can obtain few or none bnt what be-
long to the old aFreemens Society Most of that class
who came over To Amsrca and settled in 81 Jouis after
,sas were sociostic and manv Of them ip6aes. these
Dpbsbed pewspaper called the AntiPrieso ruled the
LIGHT to see war and revolution raging in this country a,
Il did in Germany these men wish TO see Sunday abo.
sbed nronertv Divided ont amonc the masses and an
Ike Rair Greeley and Framont in cbarge of the
ment Civil war pundsr revellinps and disorders and
not peace safety and good order are what they desire
This small and thoroughly bad class of German emprants
led on by men like Kayser and Boerusten are devoted
Benton aud Blair are openly for Fremont and in their
zeaousy Biss and oppose Richardson
for governor of Illinois
1t believed that Colonel Benton when he reaches St
Louis, will be unable to unite the orderly and the
religious portion of the Germans and the Irish
with these ip6des socialists and abolitionists in
the support of a hair-brained Young man like Blair,
1t s also doubted whether there really are as MANY free
soers among the business men of st ous as have been
impudently claimed by Greeley and Blair II ia doubtful
too whether the Kentucky free-soers led on by Mitchell
can carry over to Blair as many as they
SUPPOSE their operations necessarily candestine and
being thoroughly watched by all parties in consequence
the general want of confidence In Brown Mitchell and
| Blair will be crippled and embarrassed
In fine, the chances of defeating Blair and electng
Thomas REYNOLDS to Congress from St. Louis are fair
1t is not believed that single friend of Mr. Buchanan can
be deceived into the support of Blair his only possible
chance depends upon his being able to gain few know
nohings from their northern wing and upon Benton being
able to get few moral men to unite with the 'anPrest
clique This last is possible but not probable few men
think 50 lightly of religion morality and virtue as to
on with clique 50 desperate for the desperate purpose
of ecnp man who does not pretend to believe In dem
ocrac principles Neither Benton nor Blair pretends to
hold democratic principles but sD upon and trample uu
can consistently vote for man who openly SCOTS at demo
cratic principles democratic usages and democratic con
venons We hope the open enemies of democratic prin
cpes win not be able to get one honest democrat to pu
himself on The record in favor of an enemy of the demo
cratic platform Of principles not one
The election in Missouri takes place next Monday w,
believe the democracy viii triumph over know-nothng
ism and Bentonism both and elect Polk and democrats
legislature We hope the democracy will elect Reynolds
TO Congress his back-rapublcan and knownothns
competitors In ST. Louis bnt fear that the coalition got u,
between the knoW-no'nngs Sna nsn'oaians may Prov
dangerous to come OF our congressional candidates In thu
interior Of the State where Benton has arranged the fusion
himself But long before this paper reaches our subscrb
