The Late Election-.Rlack Repub
fican Vote.

In an article IN the last issue Of the Boonville
Patriot, on the subject of the late election for Su-
Preme Judge, and the manner in which the Black
Republican vote of ST. Louis was secured to Judge
Hall, that paper says:
"The Howard County Banner has tried to throw
the whole responsibility upon the shoulders of
FRANK BLAIR, we are aware; but this cannot be
creolteo, unless the friends of VIM. A. HALL were
ignorant of BLAIR's intentions or did not design
10 secure this vote through his agency: In con-
tradlcton OF this, however, we have good reasons
for believing that the Black Republican vote was
solicited IN quiet way, and that few DAYS IRE
vious to the election it was fully calculated upon
by gentlemen in the secret Of what was going on
to obtain 1t. That JNo. B. CLARK made acknoacl-
edgnent Of uhat 1ras transpiring and his confidence
IN the result, WE HAVE AUTHORITY FOR
STATING! In view of the facts, then, the foIly
OF this whole thing should rest where il properly
belongs, between the friends of Judge HALL and
FRANK BLAIR, or whoever had an agency in the
matter 1t certainly is not Of the nature of par
ty sIn.'
We regard the casting of that vote as no special
'party sn''-we desired it for Major ROLLINS,
when ne was candidate, and he got it. He and
his friends were roundly abused for that vote.-
Now DISAPPOINTMENT Democrats intrigue for it,
for democrat, the democratic organs have no
word Of rebuke. II does not make Judge HALL
a free sOiler, nor did it make Maj. ROLLINS one
But what strikes every one in this section
with amazement, Is the undenied fact that Gen.
CLARK had finger in the pie. He professed to
quit the Wing party because it was on free soil
ground. He quit the American party on the same
ground. He has, time and again, denounced Maj
ROLLINS as free soiler. II now turns out that
he was posted as to what was going on, and lad
coincidence IN the result"

we announced that his last and only chance was
the free soil party; and we lntimated that as soor
the star of that party was seen to be rising, he
would join it. HIS friends thought we did him
injustice-that we were preiudlced-and cited his
numerous speeches in denunciation of free soilism
and his fervid and fearful appeals 10 the South tc
stand up as one man, and crush out the first indi-
cations of free soil in our State. They cited u!

lSribute his might towards establishing slavery
(and democracy in that beautiful land. They
did all this and much more. We hstened-wt

injustice, we determined, at the proper time, Il

Black Republicans, or Free Democrats, grew
stronger In St. Louis; had established paper il

that the General had predicted: we must all &c
