Tho splendid triumph Of the FREQ Soil
party Of 81. Louis, the Commercial Eupo-
rum Of the Great West is most inspiritiug.
The hugo frauds Of August, by which the
gallant Blair WAS sought to be crushed out
Of Congress, have been rebukcd Ivy q
majority over The pro-slayery Democracy
of fhroe thousand for FilIey, the Free Soil
candidate for Mayor, and tho election Of cv-
ery Free Soil candidate TO tho Council
Caroudclet, and ST. Ferdinand, have also
elected Free Soil Mayors, nobly seconding
st. Louis in the great contest for Free Soil
and Free Labor.
The ST. Louis Democrat, who first plant
ed tho insignia Of Freedom in Missouri and
has upborno il from victory to victory, thus
cheetfngy speaks Of tho result Of the cleo
ton on Monday:
aThrice, IN three consecutive years have
the Free Soil party Of St. Louis thrown
down the guage to the slavery propagan-
dists, and thrice have they emerged from
the conflict with victory and honor. Yes
terday this noble city repeated her VOWS Of
feslty to the great cause Of Free Labor by
majority which satisfies every desire Of the
present, dispels every apprehension of the
future, and atones magnanimously for the
untoward event of August. The entire Free
Democraticticket has been elected by q
plurality of nearly 5000. The triumph of
the Emancipationists two years ago, is thus
shown to have been no mere ebullition Of
Free Soil sentiment, but the expression Of
profound though long suppressed conviction.
The glory which shed its light on St. Louis
then, was no meteor bred of political storms
but the calm reflection of the Interchangeable
light of Freedom. Thrice have we wrestlod
with the enemy, and thrice has he fallen
face downward"
The Democrat pays hearty and deserv-
ed tribute to the efficient aid rendered by
the EveniR9 Neaos, Express, Anzeiger and
Post, the American and German press of
the city, aud declares they have been large
ly conducive to the greatness of the success.
OF the German it says:
"Of the Free Democratic German press
powerful IN influence and talent---we can
only say that never before did it give moro
emphatic expression or more pointed diree-
ton to the sentiments Of the German popu-
Iation of st. Louis"
The Demoerdt also says--"The Ameri-
cans, in large numbers, manfulIy broke of
the withes Of partisan association, aud 'vot-
ed their sentiments Wisely and nobly
they ignored tho remote issues in the pres
ence Of the immediate one"-and adds:
awe are proud to think it will be no tenn
porary alliance. We regard it as the pledge
Of future harmony and cooperation, and as
the guarantee that the two great branches
of the Opposition will combine in purpose
and numbers to wrest the Federal govern
mont in 1850 from the contemptible and
vicious regime Of the National Democracy.
This promise is not less gratifying to US
than the performance Just closed, for it i'm
ports a wise tolerance and largo liberality
among various classes and diverse opinions
for the common good; and furthermore it
assures us Of revolution ir national affairs.
All na,ionalists participated in the victory
of Yesterday. Henceforward let us rccog-
Mise an inviolable fraternity, until the high
places of the nation arc purgod of Pro-Slay-
cry Democracy Tho tide is rolled back
for ever from the frontiers Of this State
Last summer the Lethean food of niggerism
almost ClOSeu ABOVE OuT ncduS. GIlthuS ht
home despondsd, and friends abroad de-
SPARED. We showed by incontestible proof,
that the result of that election was not
fact but fraud; but yet we experienced
how hard it is to re-assuro dispirited host.
The event of yesterday shines ike a fixed
star through the clouds and mists. The
city Of St. Louis belong no moro to the pro-
slavery faction than tho rock and fortress
Of Gibralter to the Spaniards. Never can
the principles of free soil, free speech and
free labor be dislodged from the right bank
of the Mississippi.
"In conclusion, let us venture to say to
all opponents Of National Democracy, be Of
good cheer! The voice Of the people Of st.
Louis has pronounced final condemnation
upon corruption and slavery, and in all their
fofms--upon the Federal Government the
State Government and the County Govern
ment. 1t has given removed assurance that
Missouri viii persevcro IN her work Of regen-
Grafton, that free labor shall find within her
borders the most profitable field Of employ
ment, that her commerce and manufacturers
will be fostcrod, and that her chief city will
assuredly impregnate her with the vital doc
trines which give permanent welfare to ma
tions."
