The Gubernatorial Elsotion.

It is manifest that the most desperate ef-
forts are to be made by the Democrats to
have the Gubernatoriar election turn on the
point Of Emancipation hvowedly opposed
to the agitation Of that subject and depre-
eating its intrusion into politics, they yet
exhibit the glazing inconsistency Of demand.

The Republican bristles up hurls TIL.

and declares that 1t shall not be "dodged.4-
that IL must be met--that ali other questions
must, for the time being. give place 10 II,

This is about the supremest piece Of folly
we ever heard Of. Emancipation is thing
hardly thought, of seriously outside Of ST.
Louis. There is no State party arrayed in
favor Of 1t, and the Democrats are endeav-
oring 70 raise tie issue, not to settle it, as
they falsely assert, but simply to elect their
candidate by it.iis rif' 11g . 'ss a 1tl
Suppose they succeed in bringing il into the
canvass-will the August election settle ID?
Would the triumph Of STEWART kill Eman-
cipationism? Or, will there not be Just as
much talk about the matter after SrEwARr's
election, as now? ;-pfEt sfrs
The Democrats told us that they had set
tied the matter forever, last winter, when
| they passed CAMS resolution, when, in
fact, they only gave it birth. Now, they
| say, they want to settle il forever, again, by
electing STEWART, when they well know
that that event would only animate il afresh.
Mo-. their real object is TO get up a false
issue upon which they may succeed at the
August election. They want 10 make Ma
jor ROLLINS an Emancipationist. that they
may kill him. no. knowing how else they
can compass his defeat. Let the people not
be deluded, Emancipation has nothing to
do with the August election Intelligent

blow every negro in the State, into regions

sisted that the election of Polk would give
peace to the State-but he was not warm in
his seat before he was elected Senator, thus
making another canvass necessary, and a
new agitation was sprung to carry it through.

ment consequent upon the Presidential
election had 9uietted down, and the country
was comparatively quiet. The slavery ag-
itation had been settled in the election OF
Polk and Greenland forever put at rest by
the election of Buchanan, yet they would not
let itrest. Palm, an abolitionist, who had
worked for Buchanan, must be rewarded,
and endorsed by the democracy Of The Leg
islature-true southern men objected to
such endorsement and reward, but headed
by Stewart, the party endorsed and reward
ed him, despite the protestations Of better
men. Here started the agitation that was
necessary to Fill the Governors chair again,
as also to elect Congressman for this Dis,

stand up against this continued agitation.
1t will recede before it, yet demagogues, te

really interested will stand by and for par
