1.-THE August Election-How the Bat
tie is to be Fought


We give in another column an article
under the above caption, taken from the
Republican of the 9th. The Republican"
has just been signally defeated by the
"EmancipatiOnists" of St. Louis, notwith-
standing it supported for Msyor-sn office

that gives tone and standing TO the CONNER
cial character Of cur State abroad-sn a.
vowed "emancip.tionist," who, but year
ago, declared in public speech, that "frss
"white labor must meet the cordial appro-
''bation Of every man in the State Of Mis-
"sOuri;" that slavery could not endure for
any long time" and that he had entertained
these principles frsm his earliest recol-
lection" Before the ink was dry, which
implored the people Of st. Louis to vote for
man entertaining such principles, il pre-.

how and for whom they must vote, at the
August election
without further prelude, We assume
that the American Party, the Old Line
Wings, and the Benton democrats Of the
rural Districts" who are untaintsd with
free soilism or emancipation, comprise a
majority Of the independent voters of the
State; and we assume that they do no, look
to the Republican for political advice, much
less aictation. 1t would no doubt suit that
paper exceedingly well for these people TO
drop their political identity, and unite with
the SO called National Democrats, and aid
them to beat down an off shoot Of their
own family, which is on race with them
for power and plumber. Who are the E.
msncipationists? Blair, who was born Q
democrat, and claims to be be one yet
