We had q Convention Of the delegates of the
Free Democracy yesterday for the County of ST.
Louis 10 nominate candidates for Office. 1t exhb
tied more of strepgth aud hearty enthusiasm thsn
ary similar body have seen together, aud FORE
shadows a glorious victory. FRANK BLAIR was
renomuated by acclapation for Congress, and B.
GRAFT BROWN for the Legislature, and they are
worthy of the confidence repostd 10 thsm. Mr..
Brown ia little known abroad except as the lead
ipg edi.or Of The Democrat and in that capacity he
has no superior: but if his life is spared he will be
known in other spheres Of political action. He is
sn elegant speaker as well as writer, and s po.-
sessed of extended literary requirements. Mental
" and physically lac has mary points of resemblance
to your illustrious Senator, Mr.. Seward; not lnie
ror to him in talent, he exces him in the graces of
oratory, and with equal industry may yet adoru
position equally elevated.
Under his pices Tie Democrat is the exponent
Of the popular sentiment Of the masses, and when
ever the opportunity presents itself You will find
the people Of the State side b. side with the free
men Of ST. LOuls.
Illinois is to be tie scene of bitter though not
doubtful contest this Fall. In common with you
have shcd TO see nor5 friendly relations between
TIE Republicans and Douglas men, but am per-
suaded there is 10 hope for il. One great obstacle
has been in the tone and spirit of the Douglas or
gars. cordial union vita the Republicans, as their
professions If sincere demanded, would, as general
thing eyentuate in the discOntnusnce OF their
publication. as two Of like politics could not be
supported. Their apparent interest therefore re-
quIed Of them to keep distinct fcom and antagons-
tic to the Republicans, and from this cause the
Douglas papers have been bitter and bellgerent.
They will ell 90 back to the Administration in the
end, whatever may be the result il the State. Mr..
Lincoln, whose admirable speech you published is
the representative man of the Republicans, and
they have little confidence in the honesty princ
pies of Douglas. III Douglas can get larger vote
IN the State than the Administration, it will be so
much capital in making terms with buchanan and
Labllng him to regain some Position. Ii h" '-ii-
in this he is crushed. Hence the bitterness and
desperation Of the struggle on his part. The Re
pubIicans Of the State are united and strong any
attempt 10 coalescc with the Douglas party would
produce dissenson. Hence it had better be avoided
observe in many papers East, and some OF them
Republican, the policy of a 81 Union party advo-
Gated, to britg in all antiLscompton men Of all
parties and merge the Republican party into it.
This would be suicidal, and trust will find no
favor. TIE Republican party, as you know, EN-
braced in its origin all opposed to the un;onstu-
tonsl sggressions Of Slavery, and its platform is
broad enough for all to ttand on. As party it has
broad principles, consistency, ard consequently in
nate strength. 1t Is, in its principles and doctrines
the Democratic Republican party of
the Union, and it has only to stand firm and un-
Welding to obtain speedy and glorious triumph.
This yacilat0n and lndl lri>0n, this stretching ont
of hands for outside support, betokenS weakness
and repels the timid Let us stand by our party
organizations ard principles, under all crcumstan-
ces, whether of defeat or victory and while well
coming all who join our ranks, make no unworthy
concessions, and display no other banner than the
noble one We have chosen, and which truly repre-
sents our principles lNDEPENDENT'
