have said thus much Of my vote at the
Presidential election, because l suppose that
but for this vote, you would have made no
enquiry about my position in the contest
for Governor. Maj. Rollins and myself
have always been alike true TO the Wing
party and Wing principles. We are per-
sonal friends, and but for the fact of my
course in the late national contest, you
would have taken it for granted that he
would receive not only my vote, but my
warmest support, and this for reasons that
control your own course in this election.

You say that "there is report that Rol
lins' friends in St. Louis are urging his e
lection on the ground Of his being favorable
to Emancipation" have never heard o
any mans urging such p reason here fo
sustaining Maj. Rollins. He has publicl!
and privately avowed himself as opposed Il
any and all such movements, and his posi-
tion as avowed, is well known here. Blu
it is said, Blair s. Brown will vote for him
That may be SOL do ntt know. We hav
all seen however, the letters of Messrs
Kayser g. Winkelmaier, the former, bein

These two will at least offset Blair

proven himself to be personal friend, read
at all times to do the kind offices Of frien
when occasion demands; by grateful re
membrance of acts of kindness and by tn
fullest confidence that he deserves my SUP
port, and that his election will be for III
public good. If these reasons were not {
:. nough, Il could find another in the prompting
. of my nature, that would impel me to com

I ed citizen, loyal to the State and to her p'
