Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-09-08
From the St. Louis Republican.

The returns which we publish this mornino remove all doubt of the election of Robert NJ Stewart to be Governor of the State of Nilsson. ri, to supply Gov. Folks vacancy. All the counties. save three, have been heard from off, cially. Pemiscot came in yesterday morning with majority of seventy seven for Stewart instead of 17 which had before been given to him; but then, to offset this gau Pulaski turn ed up afterwards officially, and, instead of giv- ing us 100 majority. returned no more than for ty-thus wiping out the fifty gain in Pemscot, and leaving ten to spare. This ten reduces Stewards majority to fourteen, and he has this majority with which to go into Ripley and Dunklin. Whatever the latter county may do, we are satisfied that Ripley county will far out strip it, and we feel assured that the vote is in his favor by more than one hundred through out the State. We have information upon which we rely, also that Nodaway has given a majority of 24O for Stewart, instead of l25, as we have it in our table, This will help to swell Stewards majority, if it should prove to | be correct, and add to the majority of the de. | mocratic nominee.
 1 When the extraordinary character ofthe con- bnation to defeat Col Stewart is considered when it is remembered that he had, by virtue of this coalition, a majority of 22,OOO to over-
 
 ters in favor of and urged his former friends to support Major Rollns-when it is brought to mind that the influence of the Missouri Demo- crat. Blair, Boernstein and all the Black Re- pubicans in the State was concentrated upon | that gentleman-and to all it is added that an amount of loathsome vilainous personal abuse was poured upon Stewart the like of which has never been known in the history of Missou- ri-the great wonder is, that he sbould be elected l at 0U! But he is elected to the sore disap- continent of the immediate personal friends l of Major Rollins, and to the still greater dsap- polntment of the black republicans all over 1 the country, who have only waited for the re- suit. and the confirmation of the givngs- out of the Black Republican organ in this city, to set up such shout as was never heard before over State election. The black republicans every where, for ten days past, have been on the look out for triumph in the election of Rol- lins. At Quincy and at Chicago-at Cleaveland and all through the Western Reserve in Ohio in Western Pennsylvania and New York great preparations have been made by them to celebrate the victory of the emancipation can didate," should it be achieved. It is even told that at Rochester, New York, on the reception of news favorable to Rollins, they celebrated the victory in advance and Fred. Douglass was oho filuCii)dl spGdheT- III our own SIdte, Sucn preparations were made for the celebration of this event AS were never heard of before, and we are almost inclined to sympathize with the various parties that so much expense should have been incurred, to 80 little profit. A sad has befallen them, and the re- suit may teach them this useful lesson, "never to count their chickens until they are actually hatched."
 But the election is over, and we should like to have brief season of repose before we go into another struggle of this kind. We are told already that this election was but preliminary sklrmlsh, and that next August we are to see another kind of battle, when, in pursuance of already made, the emancipation ists are to make their appearance ill the field as the great party in opposition to the democra- cy; that full tickets will be nominated for mem- bers of Congress and of the Legislature and that, if successful in the race, the latter body will be expected to propose an amendment to the Constitution, repeating its present remarka- ble feature in regard to provision for payment for all slaves before emancipation can take place. It is foreseen, that the Kansas difficult ties are likely to be settled at the next Con gress, and it has been determined that Missouri shall hereafter be the theatre of mischief Very we'll Let 1t come. The next election will afford as good time for the settlement of this question as any after period, and we ask the gentlemen who have acted so fraternaly to- gether in the late contest to bring forward their programme as soon as possible They will be met on this issue, at every point.
