The st. Louis Democrat (Emancipationist)
has the following in reference to the defeat Of
Mr. Blair
"The result of the election in our city on
yeaerday discloses that the Free-Soil vote of
St. Louis county has divided itself into its
original component psrt-that is, Democratic
and Whig-the former geing for Mr.. Blair, the
latter for Mr. Breckinridge, 1.-THE Know Moth
ing candidate,) and thus, perhaps, entailing q
defeat upon both. The vote is the largest ever
poped in this city, and from the complexion OF
th6 polls at certain precincts, it is evident that
much fraudulent voting was perpetrated. This
is known to have been the case to a certain ex.
teut, for rowing parties of Nationals throughout
the day promenaded from ward to ward, voting
as they oent. Again the action of corrupt
county court imposed upon us judges of cleo
tion, large majority Of whom were in the
interest OF the Pro Slavery minority, and thus
no check was had upon the election, such as
would have resulted frow fair selection OF
one from each party. If to this we add tbs
unsparing use of treasury money, scattered
ylh q reckless profusion in every place of low
ressrs throughout the city, We shall not have 90
much cause to wonder that the party of the
President has succeeded in polling something
over six thousand votes.
