emancipation likely to triumph at no very remote
day-and that, unless the Southern press, without
distinction Of party warned the people OF the South
| in proper time the chances were that some millions
/ Of them would wake up some fine morning and find
that one Of the old slave States had disappeared,
and that a freesuil or abolition commonwealth had
/ taken its place.
In proof Of this we cited the facts that the city Of
St. Louis had been In the hands Of the Freesniers
nearly two years that at recent important muni-
cpal election the Freesoilers triumphed by large
majority that the capital Of the State, Jefferson
City had chosen freesoi officers by handsome vote;
that Florissant smaller city had also gone freesoil
and that Missouri, being bounded the NORTH east
and west by freeso territory could not be exempted
from an injurious pressure which would exercise
none other than baneful influence upon the value
of slave property causing shareholders to sell their
negroes farther south as rapidly as was convenient
and practicable That they should endeayor to seek
protection from the waves of fanaticsm thatare surg
ing upon them from three separate and distinct sides
and in their own midst, is perfectly natural, and as
they can only protect themselves fully by selling the
species Of property threatened with destruction, 1t is
not likely that much precious time will be wasted
In addition to the above evidences, we have re-
Gently come into possession of further conhrmatory
proof. We have witness on the stand whose de-
clarations will not be questioned. In the St. Louis
Republican-by all odds the ablest and most infuen
tial journal published in the Northwestern the 9Th
inst, we find very strong editorial in reference to
the State elections of next August, and programme
OF the In which the coming battle is expected
to be fought by the Black Republicans.
| After a brief opening, the Republican says:
We assume. then, without further prelude, that the
election in August next, for members of Congress
and of the State Legislature, and county off
GERS is to be fought upon the issue distinctly pre-
| scented by the Black Republicans, which proposes
direct upon the institution of slavery IN this
| State. This the issue presented by them on
Monday last in the election in this city, and Jefferson
City and Carondeet, in the two former Of which
they were successful. This was the issue boldly pre-
sented by of the apostles of Emancipation (Mr.
/ Steyens0n) in franklin county, in set speech in
reply to Gen. Noell the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress from Mr.. Carruthers District and in which he
| declared that. in due time, one Of the party an
Emancipatonist, would be in the field against him.
This is the feeling in other parts OF the Stateas il
| the Southwestern Congressional District where
| union has been agreed upon to break down Major
Phelps without the coaltionsts having been able to
| decide which shall run the race This will be the
| issue in Anders0n's and WoOds0n's Districts and
| men may well look it right in the eye for they
| will have it to do. The Black Republicans have
forced the question Of slave emancipation upon u.s.
and cannot avoid il would, nor is il prudent
/ to do it if we could.
When we met the article in the Republican, of
which the foregoing IS an extract, we freely admit
that feeling of surprise came over rs. Although
the Republican is not Of our way of political think
ing nor has it been for some years still its authority
