ROLLINS OF MISSOURI. The St. Louis lnteli.
gencer of the 9Th instant, says that should Rollins be
elected it will not be an American victory. We
| quote:
And first, we state emphatically this is Ameri.
can victory Rollins isan American, but he distinctly
disayowed running on the American platform.
| The old line Wings bore conspicuous part in the
late fight They refused to follow the Republicans
lead, but sustained gallant champion that they had
known and loved for years.
As the St. Louis Intellgencer is the only American
paper in ST. Louis of high character and standing,
we direct the attention Of the public to the foregoing
extract from its columns. The report which is being
sedulously circulated throughout the South, that
Rollins was, in fact and deed, the chosen candidate
of the American party of Missouri is, it appears,
altogether destitute Of foundation in truth Let this
correction of false be circulated far and wide.

mended Sugar cultivation was very backward, and
all local trade paralyzed Coffee was depressed il
price, although the deliveries were not abundant. Al
Gonaives, coffee was falling and provisions plenty.
