At the last gubernatOrla election the vote of the
State was thus divided:
Polk. 1910

With these figures efore Inn, the editor of the St..
Louis Republican remarks:
The candidate of the democratic party was put
upon the course in opposition to a well.ascertained
majority of over 81 900 in the State as shown in the
election for governor last August. 1t was supposed
that state of things could arise which would bring
about fusion between the Benton men and the
know nothings two parties up to that time virulent-
y hostile to each other and for this reason, doubt,
less exertion made than otherwise would have
been the and 10 this cause, more than anything
else, is to be attributed the defeat of the democratic
nominee The figures show that it is close vote
between the contending candidates, and that half the
exerton that was made on the other side would have
secured the triumph of Col. Stewart"
The democrats have secured decided maj ority in
both branches of the legislature of Tennessee The
Nashville Union of Wednesday says:
Our MAJ ority in the legislature connot be less
than in the house and five in the senate. There
three close senatorial districts to hear from yet
and 90 majority in the senate will be increased by
as many of those three districts carry. These
senatorial districts are the 1st (Washington &C.,

A hundred wagons had left Salt Lake bound for

MIR. Stan1ey's Position.

1t is even so, and we are sorry TO say it. Hon.
Edward Stanley, formerly of North Carolina, is the
Black Republican Candidate for Governor of CalifcE
MIA. He has accepted that nomination in a speech
carefully worded and deliberately prepared in which
he takes the most ultra anti slavery grounds-in
which he euIogizes VIM. Fl. Seward & Coin which
he artfuly attacks the institutions of the South-n
which he speaks of the Nathan Dean ordinance
of 1887 great and glorious measure of free.
dorn--in which, in defiance of the decision of the
Supreme Court he asserts the Constitu,ionality
of the Missouri Compromise. Further in support
of his resent position in California, he refers to
his vote on the bill for the admission of that State,
and his last for Congress in North Carolina.
1t will be remembered that the Democratic presses
in North Carolina endeavored to show the tendency
of Mr.. Stanley's course then, and were denounced as
slanderers OF Mr. Stanley. The thing nov shows
for itself.
But he goes farther, and says that his party will
persist until slavery is driven from the country.
We would gladly have doubted this detection of
Mr.. Stanley. We would gladly now contradict it,,
but are forced to the painful conclusion that it is
even so.
But we forbear further remarks for the present
