st. Louis Republican.

This once steady old publication is both
ering the brains OF its old friends TO keep
up with it. Last spring, when the contest
in St. Louis, for City officers, was hot and
fierce between the Americans and Black
Republicans, it distinctly announced it was
not in the fight its sympathies were with
the Black Republicans, and they were cleo
ted. But recently it announced its adhe.
sion TO Buchanan, and counselled all who
desired to crush out Black Republican, and
all other isms, 10 rally for the old iederalist,
which its own columns said was SO popu-
lar with the "free soil influence OF the
North" as to render him unpopular with the
South; and before its words are cold it comes
out for Hon. l.. M. Kennett, American
candidate for Congress in the St. Louis Dis
trict. Old line wings, who it pretends TO
Council, cannot tell "under which thimble
the little joker is 10 be found" 1t works
with Benton, for Buchanan, and then with
Polk against Benton; and yet again, for
Kennett, and against them all

The Canvass in the Grand River Country.

uo OhuVdbs III buo OLhHu hlVeI OUuuJtJ'
A friend in Sullivan county writes us as
follows:
The canvass in the Grand River country
was opened at the called term of the Put
nam Circuit Court, on the 9th, by John w.
Minor, democratic nominee for Senatorial
honors. He admitted he had seen "Sam"
and cultivated his acquaintance for season,
-(long enough to find cut no doubt, that
he would do nothing for demagogue,)
when he discovered that he was proscript-
i've, because he denied the right to foreign
ers, and those who owe allegiance 10 others
superior 10 that they owe 10 the constitu.
ton and laws of the country, to rule Amer
lea. We thought when he was speaking
the best evide; &c Of Sans prescription was
found in the fact, that such men as Mr.. Mi
nor were not his favorites for office. They
are not the kind of men he wants TO make
Legislators out Of.
THE next day he delivered pretty much
the same speech at Milan, and on the day
following. he spoke at Scootsville, in this
county,. At all three points he was replied
to by our talented young friend and towns
man, Geo. S. Palmer, who vindicated the
American Party from all the charges bro't
against it, in style that did not only cred
it to him, but the party with which he acts
"At the last named place (Scottsville)
Minor was so hard pressed as TO have re.
course TO the argument of the bully; foi
while Mr.. p. was vindcating himself from
a false charge, as we are creditably inform
ed, which had been circulated by his enc
mics, Mr.. Minor had the courage and pa
triotism 10 raise his foot and kick him o,
the arm. What shame and computations @
soul must Mr.. Minor feel, when in the still
hour of night he reflects, that Mr.. Palmer
who was laboring under great physical in
trinity and had not from this infrmlty, bee
able TO walk from the fire to the table, un
til within the past few years, had to suffe
such treatment at the rude hands of tire
hundred FOUNDER, from the simple fact thu
his mental ability was more capcious tina
that Of his burly antagonist. Shame upo
you John.

Buchanan in Pennsylvania.

The Piusburg "Gazette," the oldest
journal west of the mountains, declares that
in Pennsylvania Mr.. Buchanan possesses
no strength that may be called formiddble.--
His nomination simply keeps those in the
party who otherwise would have been driv-
en- from it, but it brings no outside add
We have not seen or heard of one old line
Wing, Republican, or American, who will
vote for him; and zoe kno,D that there are
hundreds of Democrats in This county aDho
uoted for Pierce who will moi, under any cur
cun,siances, uote Tor Buchanan.
"In 1862, Pierce carried Pennsylvania
by an immense majority, and he obtained
sweeping majorities in Greene, Fayette,
Westmoreland, Armstrong, Clarion, Ven
ango, Butler, Mercer, Crawford, Warren
Mexican, Potter, Bradford, Susquehanna
and 'Tioga counties. 1t was by means o.
these counties that he carried the State. Ii
1856 nearly all these counties will give hea'
Wy majorities against Buchanan, and thu
few that will not do so will be able TO give
but nominal majorities for him."

Mr.. Clayton's Kansas Bill.

Our exchanges bring an ineligible alb

in the following synopsis:
1t provides that the Secretary of State
