The Louisville Journal publishes a letter
from Rocheport, No., from which we make
the following cheering extract
The Bell and Everett ticket is to-day the
strongest one ever presented TO the people of
Missouri in opposition TO the Democracy
The State of Missouri cast at the last Pres:-
Dental election one hundred and ten thous-
and votes, Buchanan receiving about eight
thousand majority. The Douglas wing will
receive this year about thirty-five thousand
votes; and Bell and Everett ..ill get all OF
fifty thousand votes. So ,you Will perceive
that Missouri will give her electoral vote for
the Union candidates. The Democracy here
cencede it. The st. Louis Republican holds
out differently, but that paper is now dead
with the several political parties in our State
The Democrats who support Douglas will
vote for anybody to defeat Breckinridge and
so vice versa with the other side. The Uuion
party are in the field with formidable array
OF orators, and everything is working like a
charm, whilst on the other hand we see the
two wings of the 80 terrified fighting like
tigers against each other. Hundreds of the
conservative Democrats il this State have
come over TO the Union party. Missouri is
therefore right side up with care. and will
come down on jjaded Democracy at the
November election like '' thousand bricks"
- DtiEOcTdtlC 1Or
Governor. has declared for Douglas, and, by
doing so, he has lost fifteen thousand votes
in one days time. Judge Orr, the Union
candidate Tor Governor, has made up TO this
time telling canvass, and at Fayette last
Saturday succeeded in forcing Jackson to a
position on the Presidential election. Jack
son has gone home whipped, defeated. and
buried so deep under The ruins of squatter
sovereignty that his remains will never be
recovered. He is gone by the board. Moth
ing can be done to save him. The Breckin-
ridge wing will stand up like men and vote
for Hancock Jackson, whom they talk of
running, or will support the Union candidate
Judge Orr. Judge Orr's election is just as
sure as the first Monday of August passes.
John b. Clark is running on the Douglas
wing for Congress against Judge Mercer.
Breckenridge Democrat, and George W..
Buckhart is out in that district on the Union
ticket. He will be elected by tremendous
majority. Alas poor John Helper CLARK,
thy fate is sealed; never will you offer resolu-
tons again to aid in the destruction of Hell
per's diabolical crusade against the South.
Yon did MT intend to do it, but you did it.
Farewell, poor John. You will have 10 wait
the inauguration of a new party. You have
belonged to all but the Union party, and
that you can never creep into. John Phelps
is as dead as mackerel. Rivers will beat
the hind sites off of him. He wants to say
now that he went for Douglas under a misap-
prehension of his being the regular nominee.
but he is gone to the bone-yard.
Major Rollins, the great Western statesman
and patriot, will be elected from this lander
son's) district. The people are driving the
candidate for the Legislature to sides on the
Presidential election and the triggers are set
so that the Legislature will be Union out and
out.
Jim Green, good man, will lose his head
next winter, and we shall have good Union
man in the United States Senate.
Thus l have given you plain statement
of the condition of politics out here. To-
morrow we will raise. on the banks of the
Missouri in our little town. q flag and pole in
honor of the nomination of Bell and Everett.
The Union men in Missouri are working with
an earnestness and zeal that characterize the
supporters of old Gen. Harrison in 1910.
