Is no peril to the Union, and when we are
asked to save 1t, il only means to help save
the holders Of officers in the Union. Gen.
Wilson said he had been q citizen Of Mis-
souri, for forty years, and had laborsd, in
every public position to which the people
had elected him, to multiply the wealth and
develop the material power Of the State
He thought that these objects could and
should be obtained by building railroads.
He was, therefore, in favor Of completing
our unfinished works. The Democrats,
however, when they met in Convention a.
Jefferson City, adopted platform which
says, substantially, awe don't know exactly
about that matter" [Lsughtsr.] They
decided that man may be seod Democrat,
and be in favor Of completing the Roads,
while another may be an equally good Dem
oorat, who wants 10 have them sold. The
Democratic ca ldidsts for Governor, C. F.
Jackson, cannot be induced 10 tell what his
views on the subject are; he has no. had
time 10 investigate it; having been so ab-
sorbed in looking after the one-horss
Banks as to have no attention to bsstow on
the great and vital question, Of the disposi-
ton of our Railroads. The speaker be-
lieved that all in the vast multitude he ad-
dressed were Wings, and he would call on
oil former Wings, who had strayed of into
other organizations, to come GU, Of filthy
parties, and join in this movement. The
great Democratic party, once so powerful
in its organization, and so corrupt in its
praclines-where is it now? IA voice:

Douglas can't get single State. Cheers.

But our candidates will loom up with

South-irom the East and the West,

Of ths Union oppressed by the other. They
are based on the niger question, and on
theories about slavery in the Territories,
but what have been the fruit, of the dis

murder and corruption. In Heaven name,
is this question never to be settled? Are
the enduring interests of the nation to be
forever neglected, while Democrats quarrel

measures be suspended while we discus.

express the greatest horror at our audacity
in daring TO believe that the country can
be governed without them. They tell US:
"Why we have governed the country for
sixty years, and it is not right to take Gov-

Al this moment, snms little confusion was
created on the outside Of the crowd, by the
attempt of some one TO ask Gen. WILSON a
question. The speaker hoped the audi
anoe would excuse him for taking glass
Of water. God bless on, he remarked, the
fault of our public men is that they don't
drink half water enough. (Laughtsr.) I

Of friends Of BELL and EVERETT gathered
here this evening, all inspired with so much
enthusiasm. II was an honor to him that
on the occasion OF his first address in St.
Louis, he should have such vast audience,
He was encouraged by the splri, he saw

hearers that there was a similar spirit
spreading throughout the Northwest. The
prairies were on fire with the BELL and

town he passed through On his way to ST.
Louis, he found a Constitutional Union flag
fluttering in the brseZs. Don't you all

that we ore going to elect Oaa Governor,
