short time since he turned political

learn, that Mr.. Green was the man who
had so much 10 do in The bringing out Of
Hancock Jackson and NJ. M. Parsons
Mr. Green, at one time, thought the State
would be utterly ruined if c. F. Jacks on
and T. L. Reynolds were elected. Why?
Because they were for Douglas, and Doug
las was Freesoileri There was not
sound democrat in the Stale, that did not
approve of Mr.. Green's cause, at that time.
II seemed as though Green was their watch

been yet, if he had proven himself friend
to the party; but it seems that be Mr..
Green. discovered that his chances were
not quite as good for the Senate, as he de-
sired they should be; so alter reaching Chill
hcothe, and conversing with Gen Clark,
he concluded TO, and did drop his man for
Governor; and told the people TO vote for
the men who were nominated at LETTERS On

inevitable. But l am inc lined 10 think,
that Dir. Green's chances are now worse
than ever. How can Gen. Clark and G..
f. Jackson consistently throw their infu-

Be 1t remembered that Jas. s. Green was
The instigater Of the great mass meeting in
ST. Louis, that nominated H. jackson for
Governor. A number of resolutions were
offered and unanimously adopted, among
which was the following:

name has been heretofore identified in the
political history Of Missouri, which were
distinctly enunciated by the convention 10
which he owes his nomination, and which
we hold 10 be essential TO The safety of the
South and 10 the perpetuiiy Of the Union;
and whereas he mas, with Thos. C. Rey-

Missouri have utterly repudiated, we de-

this contest, and we heartily recommend TO
the people Of Missouri, that genuine dem

jackson, and that eloquent defender Of our
constitutional rights, III. NJ. Parsons, as
the first choice OF the democracy Of St.
Louis, for the offices OF Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor of The Stale OF Missouri.
From the above, il seems that Major
jackson regarded not the platform upon
which he was nominated, il was understood
that none, no not one, was 10 express him.

that he was regularly nominated-and con-

Green's anxiety for other standard bear

Douglas party. 'sG n --rRs-.
Since the split in their party, they have
done nothing but Willy each other. They
have brought 10 light, and revealed many
