Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-10-06

avowed emancipatonst or free soiler, it was proposed and accepted that Rollins the leader of Know N othingism in Missouri, an avowed ro.slavery man, should. by means of caucus, be metamorphosed into a private gentleman, without political antecedents or bias; in other words, into an tndepe1adent candidate, who was expected to be free soiler in St. Louis, pro- slavery man in Lafayette, a rampant Know Nothing in Marion, a steadfast friend to the Germans in Gasconade and Franklin, and an admirer of the brogue" along the track of the railways-thus to exemplify the truth of Pitts celebrated saying, probably, that an indepen- dent man in politics meant person who, under no circumstances, could be depended upon.- How far Major Rollins came up to the proud position vouchsated to him by his friends, leave for them to decide; as also, whether the Know Nothings, by their fusion with the eman- cipatonsts, were sold themselves, or sold the latter. From remark published, however, by Mr. Much, a frantic German free soil clergy man, from Warren county, in the Anzeiger de Westens, some days ago, am led to infer, that the free SoilerS pride themselves considerably in having not only sold their Plug Ugly allies at the late election but completely bagged them. If remember correctly that Reverend 1 politicians epistle to his friend Boernstein, he intimated as plainly as words coule tell, that they (the free soilers) had successfully hum- bugged the Know Nothings. 1 will state at this time, however, that the Reverend gentle mans letter was evidently written under the halucination of imaginary pop-guns and sky rockets, let off in honor of Major Rollins cleo ton.
 But, whatever the object and machinations of the free sollers may have been, and It would be losing ones self in amaze of vilaines and absurditles, to attempt following them in their designs anywhere, what result has the late elec- ton shown? In order to bring tltcts before the people, 1 have taken pains to prepare list of the counties of our State, arranged so to show according to Mr. Blairs map, haw the slavery interest is represented in Missouri from the highest to the lowest; and, at the same time, showing in which counties relatively, Major Rollins, the emanci patton candidate par ercei- l7ce, had his strength leave St. Louis coun- ty out, as a matter of course the predominating foreign element in this county giving it char acter peculiar to most large cities, though be 1t said, that notwithstanding the assertions of our black republicans to the contrary, by far the larger portion of the foreign vote of St. Louis, at the last election, voted with the democracy, and the result of the election has demonstrated the fact.
 At mere 9ldhCe, any peTSOH iS oouuu Io perceive that Major Rollins, the so-called (per- idiously so-called, l maintain, in justice to the genteman) emancipation candidate happened to receive majorItles only in our largest slave coun ties; and, what is equally singular, as matter of lact, that as we gradually come down in the per ccntase of slavery i. our several counties, sn in a regular proportion do our emanclpa. ton canddates'' majorities decrease, until the democratic candidates maiorties gradually turn up It might be simply sated here that the same counties, on all average, which gave ma orities for Rollins in 1857, also gave mAjortIes for Fillmore in lS56 and Fillmore was not free soiler, nor doiget Me question on Aat point. But this fact illustrates itself by reference the l list below
 Mir. Editor I turn you over to the list below. It is prepared from official reports, and has been carefully added up, compared and exam ned. II on examination, any sane person con- cludes that tee-soillsm has foothold in our State. beyond St Louis, then am simply mis- taken. In conclusion, permit me to say, that l shall claim the columns of your journal for conclusion of this article next Sunday
 A NATIONAL DEMOCRAT. | We omit the list, winch, however, fully sus talls the writer in his views expressed above
