Put None but Democrats on Guard To-
 Might v

In politics as in other associations, there is danger of a party becoming weak from excess of members however paradoxical this may ap- pear, 1t is nevertheless true; and the careful student has not failed to glean this lesson of political economy in the rise and fall of parties. The smoke has hardly cleared from the field so hotly contested two years ago. in this State and yet we find individuals of the late American party, while boldly adhering to the tenets of their faith presuming to enter democratic con- ventions and assume to themselves to recom- mend men and measures to the party they, so lately encompassed heaven and earth to defeat. If our ranks are to be swelled from the ranks of the opposition, let gentlemen renounce alle- glance to principles utterly at war with the faith of the party they seek to control. Modesty becomes the convert. The child must crawl before it walk. We diStrust the Creeks though they bring gifts in their hands ' Iimeo Danaos dOnaqae terentes'' We have a signal instance of impudence, at hand, in the case of L. l.. Mack, late American candidate for prose- cutting attorney ill this distrct-much to the surprise of his American friends in this region. who supposed him dead to all, save his " intense Americanism," did they hear of his ressurrec- ton in democratic convention. If Mack sim cerely repented him of his sins, the place for him was at the altar aLd not among the Elders; the prayer of the Publican became him, rather than the vain glorying of the Phalsee, that he is Our ranks now, as ever are open to all who stand upon our platform, but we protest against wolves in sheep's clothing. We have no room for men, who have been waiting to see which way the cat of the strong side would jump; certainly we are not inclined to attach very much importance to their views and most assuredly we do not intend to fight the battle over again in our own with an open foe we are invincible. Itis the insiduous cOvert that strikes us the deadliest blow, by belchiug out his heresies under the name of democrat. Men who have never bowed the knee, the conquerOrs of hundred battles; democrats through evil as we'll as good report, will never consent to the dctation of eleventh hour men. The old line, the old guard who never quailed, when the fight ragged fercest, and the night was darkest, have the contract to administer the affairs of this State, and by the Grace of God and states rights democratic prn- ciples, we intend to perform our whole duty, Daaugre the arrogant Gictation of men, who have so recently disputed with us, every inch of the ground. This eleventh hour doctrine may be all very well in theology, but we will none of il in politics Let the old guard look to it, that the camp is guarded against improper intrusion. -State Rights Democrat

From the Springfield Journal Cairo and Fulton Railroad, of Missouri.

The stockholders of this company held their annual meeting for the election of directors. at Bloomfield, Stoddard county, Missouri, on the 8th instant. By vote, the number of directors was reduced from thirteen to five, and the fol- lowing persons were chosen for the ensuing year:
 Mason Brayman esq, Springfed, III.
 Hon. s. G. Kitchen, Bloomfield, Missouri.
 $, Sexton, esq, Chicago, Ill.
 Il. Il. Bedford, esq, Bloomfield, Missouri.
 L. F. McCrilles, esq, Springfed, H.
 The new board was organized by the election of the following officers
 M. Brayman, esq, president.
 G. R. Teasdale, esq, secretary.
 5. Sexton, esq, superintendent of construc- ton.
 The operationssof this company, for the past year, as reported to the board of directors, pre- senta very favorable appearance, and promise an early completion of the road.
 Twenty-Five miles are under contract and it is anticipated that twelve miles will be complet- ed before the first of August, and new era commenced Tn the locomotion of that country of bad roads and difficult transportation. To effect thIs desirable object, the contractors, Messrs. Woodhams 6 Hamilton, have over POO men employed on the work, and are pushing 1t for ward with commendable zeal.
 The whole length of this road, when complet- ed, will be over v miles, through heavily timbered and fine agricultural country. It commences opposite Cairo, at Birds Point" and extends to the State line of Arkansas, where 1t connects with surveyed line through Ar kansas to the State of Texas, south to Calves ton and thence westward to the Pacific. The whole line forming, probably, the most feasible route that has yet been suggested for railroad to the Pacific.
 To build this road, the company present abun- dant resources. Subscriptions to the capital stock amount 70 6O,499 shares a; $25 per share, upon portion of which l5 per cent. has been paid; over 4lOOOO acres of good lands, and loan from the State of Missouri of $50 of its per cent. bonds, being $650OOO.
 The lands situated on the line of this road, and belonging to the company, are worth from four to twenty dollars an acre, and will undoubt- edly, so soon as they are brought into market, find rapid sale.
 The operations of the company for the last year have been economical; aud instead of run- ming into inextricabie indebtedness, like too many western roads, they have expended no more than was justified by judicious use of their resources, and therefore are to-day in good credit; paying promptly their estimates and ready for enlarged operations as soon as the spring fairly opens.
