reads:

This is the tide that is sweeping over Slavery

are sure this is tho wiser course.
P.S.-We have the st. Louis papers Of Friday
The Republican has what purport to be returns and
reports from all but eight counties, and says:

1876 votes and Fillmore 550-or, majority OF ITO

counties. We shall see.'
The following paragraph appears first under its
Editorial head:
ave have very little to say about the election.
Everything was in allegiance yesterday. The Rollins
men gave up figuring, and left the thing to take its
course. Stewards friends were not over sangune,
being content to rely upon the official count OF the
day or two, or perhaps longer. We publish revised
table of the votes for Governor, which includes sixty.

nearly all correct
The Democrat of the same date says:
"The only official returns that have come in, so far
as We are advised, are those from the Counties OF
Adair, MaIies, Aadrain, Macon and Lewis, aud they

already fixed the figures at which they rH come in)
and deductpg this from the ascertained majority OF
Rollins and we still think him elected by more than

Another article in The Republican intinates that
the "amendel return" from Polk County was

subject for jestipg.
We presume, Of course, that Stewart is to be
officially declared elected.
