CAUGHT A TARTAR

The Presidents reply to the forty gentlemen of
Connecticut is perfect bomb-shell in the camp of
the enemy. l. is not likely that any provocation
will be given for second epistle of this sort We
notice some disposition to chide the President for
condescending to explain the motives and course of
his public to private citizens; but this may be
excused in consideration of the sautary effects pro-
duced-the substantial good accomplished in Great
ing sound public sentiment. and disseminating
throughout the Republican press of the country
tain statements and facts which are studiously
excluded under ordinary circumstances. It is also
in season for presentation to the citizens of Kansas
while yet on the threshold of State organization
and may exert important influence there. No
doubt 1t was the intention Of the gentlemen whose
names appended to the New Haven letter, TO in
huence the course of the President in his admins
tration of public affairs. The interference was there
fore of a mischievous tendency; but on the whole
both they and the President are to be thanked for
the action taken by them respectively, which has
suited in the production Of the noble document which
is now before the cOuntry.-N. Z. Journal Com.

MISSOURI Election

The Missouri election is a subject of good deal
Of comment North and South 1t sceems to be as
sumed both sides says the Louisville Democrat as
quite significant of disposition of large minOri-
iy in that State TO get rid of slavery Only shows,
however that nearly half the voters of Missouri sup
ported candidate for Governor who did not object
decidedly to emancipation, and who was supported
by the out-spOken anti slavery men of the State
1t is quite probable, however, that the mass of the
supporters of Rollins voted for him, notwithstaud-
ing his views the subject of emancipation. They
would have voted for his Satanic Majesty himself,
70 beat the Democratic party. Put any scheme of
emancipation before the people of Missouri and let
them that II is a serious practical question, and
that the success of the candidate is the success of
the cause Of emancipation, and in opinion a
very different result viii be obtained. The recent
election only shows that about half of the voters
'ere not very sensitive Onthe slavery question They
voted for for Governor who did not advocate
emancipation, hut who did not object to it. They
did not consider the question 81 issue. The truth is
there desperate struggle of all factions to beat
the Democratic party; principles or measures had
very little to do with it. The Know NOthings work
ed tremendously together for victory, not for
ures. Had they succeeded they would have quar-
relied over measures and spols, and split to pieces
