St. Louis Republican-Consistency.

One of the standing charges of the Re-
publican against the American Party was,
that it was abelitionized. 1t would not
support Fillmore, because, as it said, votes
cast for him, aided Fremont. /. would
not support Majsr Rollins, because Blair,
Brown, and other free-soilers were for him.
1t dropped its whiggery and conservative
tone, and warmly embraced Buchanan,
Stewart, and National democracy, because
of their sOundness on the slavery question
Its opposition to abolitionism and free soil
ism, and advocacy of Buchanan and Stuart
gave it SO much favor. in the eyes of nation
al democrats, that they adopted it as their
organ, and let their own paper, the Leader
60 dc~n. Many democrats in this section
and no doubt other portions Of the State
subscribed for it, because they supposed ii
sound on the slavery issue. In the ST.
Lous City elections, heretofore, it has al
ways opposed black republicanisn, but Q
change has come over il. For some time
it has been busily engaged in getting UP a
"Citizens ticket" and at the head Of thai
ticket, for Mayor, stands the name of George
R. Taylor, who was a member Of the City
Council last year, and who spoke as fol-
lows, in response to the inaugural Addres.
Of Wymer, the black republican Mayor
Is not this fruitful field, sir, for your
experienced and practical mind to exhibi,
again its capacity and industry? The great
principles which you have advanced in re-
lation to FREE WHITE LABOR, MUST MEET
THE CORDIAL APPRECIATION OF EVERY TRUE
FRIEND OF THIS CITY AND THE STATE OF
MISSOURI. The principle is one which is
UNBORN IN EVERY SON OF AMERICA, wheth.
er he be Of the North or the West, and is
the one which will ULTIMATELY PREVAIL
ALL OVER our EXTENDED COUNTRY, and
despite Of SECTIONAL PREJUpIcEs, INsTIrU-
TIoSs, and education. THESE PRINCIPLES
HAVE BEEN MINE FROM MY EARLIEST RE
COLLECTION, and the only thing in which
differ from yourself, is in the proper time
for carrying those principles into practice
No man in bis sober senses can doubt that
eventually, Kansas will be free State
and, engirdled as Missouri will be by free
States, the institution Of Slavery CANNOT
FLOURISH TO ANY GREAT EXTENT, or EN-
DuRE FOR ANY LONG TIME. The heat Of
our sun DOES NOT REQUIRE Az AFRICAN tc
stand beneath its rays; none Of our agricul-
tursl products demand his aid, and certainly
our manufactures do not need him.
Comment is unnecessary: Mr.. Taylor
thinks Missouri is in q fair way to become
free State-has been against slavery from
his earliest recollection: and the Republi-
can thinks him the very man to be placed
at the head Of the government Of our eem-
mercial emporium! Mr.. Taylor is the ad-
ninistration candidate, Mr.. Filley the re.
publican. Can Filley be worse than Tay-
lor?

boaimsn, more especially between the Union
and Rail Road lines. Bands of music and
cannon are brought into requisition, much
70 the qualification of Young America and
Lsafsr', and greatly to the annoyance Of
business men. The firing Of a cannon and
band Of music on boat, brings out SO
many boys, lOafers and negroes, that it is
with difficulty the necessary business can
be transacted on boat or the levee.

The "free democratic ticket" is out and
cut an,i-slavery. Mr.. Taylor, the candi-
bate on the "Citizens Ticket" is also a
thorough going free sOiler, but is supported
by the Republican, and the anti Benton
party. We do not know the position Of
other gentlemen on the ticket, but presume
they are not much better, as the famous
Mr.. Palm, who has made sacrifices" in
the emancipation movement, presided at the
meeting which nominated them. So, which
ever ticket succeeds, it is an anti-slaverv
victory.

that particular bank. It is in the sys- tem, and cannot be eradicated short of tho abolition of that system.- It is corrupt and rotten. It has been tested thoroughly and repeatedly, and as often and as signally has it failed to attain the ends for which it has been tried. The Citizens Bank of your city is not an exception, resulting from mismanagement, but is only one of its germs, race or species.
 Chartered banks of issue are as liable to suspend as man is to attacks of fever or cholera, and as certain to break and prove insolvent as man is to die. At least such is their history and the experience of the world. The wise if not the only mode to judge of the future is by the past. Security for the future would warn the people of Tennessee to rid themselves of the horrid evil, the accursed incubus. the damned nightmare upon their indus try and prosperity as soon as possible. Therefore 1t would be the wisdom of experience to let the present batch ;, brood or tribe of Tennessee banks break, die. or go out by the expiration of their charters, ard let no more be made within the State forever.'
