WESTERN MOVEMENT.

A very considerable tide of emigration
is now porting through our city. 1t is the
spring tide Of humanity, flowing now,
as ever, from East to West. Every steam
boat that leaves our landing for the Mis-
souri, or Upper Mississippi, and every train
Of cars that leaves our western depots for
the West, bears It's share Of the great drift
Of emigrants from the old to the new
State, from the Eastern to the Western
borders of the Republic. 1t is a remark
able fact that the principle rush Of eladyrants
is to Missouri. The fertile expanoe Of that
magnificent State is now the land Of pro-
mise to the migrating yeomanry. The fact
has gone forth that Missouri viii presently
be a free State. 1t is understood that
though slave State now, liberty Of speech
is recognized within her borders as inalien-
able Liberty is not tolerated, IT asserts it.
self; and the knowledge Of the fact put the
rich lands Of Missouri in the market. The
negroes are leaving the State by voluntary
and involuntary emigration. They rur
away into Kansas, Iowa or Illinois, and arg
sold South. But for every negro who goes
out, ten white men 90 in, and a man wht
owns himself is worth a great deal more te
the State than man who is owned, though
the price Of slaves is enormously high
1t is one Of the eminent facts Of tie day
that the irrepressible conflict doctrine is be
ing waged in Missouri, not in war but ii
peace. Evidence Of it can be seen on
almost every steamer between st. Louis
and Cairo. Those going up the river to
ST. Louis are full of free white laborers en-
iorating voluntarily to Missouri. Those
going down the river contain the black
slave Unfortunately going into the donin-
ions of King Cotton.

explained away, will insure MIN his sent.
He showed by the most conclusive evidence,
that tie irregularities, fraud and corrupt
conduct on the part Of tie judges in certain
precincts, and the misconduct and ballot box
stuffing OF the friends of Mr.. Barrett and
others, will compel the exclusion Of the en-
tire vote in these precincts from the count.
This viii take from Mr. Barrett upwards Of
500 votes, overcome the majority returned,
and give Blair between 200 and 800 ma
iority. He also challenges about 500 or
900 individual votes cast for Mr.. Barrett,
and that they We're fraudulent. This viii
bring up Mr.. Blair's majority to nearly /,
600, which his friends claim is less than

to be very interesting, showing a systematic
case Of plotting and fraud never before
equaled in this country, except in Kansas.
The report of the committee is looked for
with great interest, and the discussion ia
the House is likely to attract the attention

a few words with regard to preparing
the seed and land for planting It should
be soaked about twenty-four hours in warm

been legally assessed since the passage Of
