The ST. Louis InteAHgencer thinks the stories of

they would like to walk up to the polls,
hand in hand, with q niger and vote; or
how they would like to have niger pre-
side over our State as Governor; or to
labor on the roads under niger as Su-
pervisor? These things are not unlikely if
the Republican party is permitted to car
ry out its doctrine.
OF the late robbery of the treasury of
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
over three thousand OF this money is to
be made up by the taxpayers of Monroe
county. This is no small item to coun-
ty. that is already groaning under her

who we kno'o is honest Voters of Old

Editor of the Spirit-SIR: VIII you have
the goodness to permit me to say word
through your paper, to our Republican
friends in Monroe? The writer Glanced
to be in WoodsfeId, few days since and
was .astonished to learn that some FIVE or
six Republicans from the neighborhood
Of Suiumerfield, in Noble county, had met
in W. o1s6eld, and agreed that DR.. j, E.
Mechem should run for representative,
and all the rest of the Republicans should
draw off. I have conversed with num-
ber Of our party in Adams and Salem, and
have not found one of them satisfied with
this arrangement We see no good rea:
son why we should no. have two Repub-
lican candidates for the Legislature. II
these gentlemen expects us to support q
mongrel ticket, they mistake the Repub-
licans of eastern Monroe entirely. We
had hoped, and still expect to support DR.

A Bit of g. MuSS,

It win be seen by "J. S. Cs" letter in
to-days paper that the Republicans have
their troubles as well as other parties.
- We don't know anything about the gar
Eroting of Ellsworth aud Shipley, but 81.
S C's idea of carrying the district is
rather amusing.
], There are no less than FIVE candidates
running against the nominees: j ohnson
and Summers claiming to be Democrats
though we learn that Summers voted for
Fremont; Shiply and Ellsworth, seem to
be hitched together as the Republican
candidates, while -Mechem drives kind
of one horse team.
By the way we understand that john
sion and Mecham are fusing.. How is
that? 1t must be q sorry kind Of Democra-
cy that would fuse with Republicanism
for so small an Office as the Legislature.
Keep your hands clean, Johnston.
The fight among these Republicans ard
dIscord breeding Democrats, reminds rs
of muss that two darkeys once got up:

now. to have such men as DR.. Ellsworth
and Mr.. Shfpley sacrificed by few of Mr..
Mecham's friends and relatives without the
knowledge of their friends, merely to ad-
vance the interest of Mr. Johnston, or
any other pro-slavery Democrat, is more
than we feel like yielding to. Messrs.
Ellsworth and Shipley are the choice OF
the Republican party in the entire east.

ALBERT MCFARLAND, of the Ports
mouth Tribune a Know Nothing paper,
TINS endorses Jacob Reinhard. the Dem.
ocratic candidate for Secretary of State:
1--WE are personally acquainted with
Mr.. Reinhard, and have been for the past
twenty years. We know him to be a man
Of undisputed honesty and ability, He
is a German by birth, aud was raised to
hard work, and learned early to rely upon
his own resources. While many of the
aspiring political demagogues of Ohio
were. spending money freely in spreeing
at college, Mr.. Rcinhard was driving a
four horse team ON the National road,
hauling gravel as sub-contractor under
more favored officials ''Many time
aud Oft" we've. seen Jake mount his
saddle horse and crack his whip at the
"oT-wheel leader" in rain and shine. Mr..
Reinhard, though German, is one of
those who are "thoroughly Americanized'
as we understand the term in the Ameri-
can platform, and if we were going to
vote for o Democrat, we would do it as
cheerfully for Reinhard, as any one on the
ticket If he had not been possessed OF
industry and talent, he would not be where
he is now"
