The Humbug Of Fusio n in Missouri.

Various parties have been busying their
brains in 81. Louis and elsewhere within
the past week in regard to supposed fu-
sion movemen, between the Bell and Ever
cit men of Missouri. The talk is on this.

and ridiculous, that we have not before
thought il worthy Of mention in our col
umus. But lest our friends in the coun-
try should be deceived BY the rumors allu-
ded 10. and loss. confidence in the integri-
ty Of the Bell and Everett men in St. Louis.
We take this occasion to say, in behalf Of
the entire Union party Of St. Louis. that
the whole scheme, if in any mans brain il
has got TO be scheme, is simply prepos-
ferrous. There is net the slightest pros
pect. because there is not one solid reason
TO justify such course, that the Bell and
Everett men of Missouri will be seeking
alliances with party which would compel
them to recognise the balsful doctrine Of
Squattsr Ssvereignty-so sptly described
as "ths saor, cut 10 all the ends of AbsIi-
tionism."
All the talk in St. Lsuls about fusion
ef the Douglas and Bell and Everett men
has been confined to tbs Douglas party,
whs seeing the vigor and universally Of
the Democratic or Brsekinridgs rally in the
State, are beginning to have lively aPprf.

doubt the Republican, and its half score Of
Congressional "JoHss," and Anti.Tariff
RIcHAnD, would like, amazingly to wrap
the mantle Of the Union party around their
shivsring bodies. Ba. it can't be dsns.-

The Bell end Everett men have no feas
Of losing Missouri. The vote f:the States
is as sure for the Constitutional Union tick
ct as that Of any State Of ths Union. The
snly contest that promise, to enlivsn the
campaign is, whether or not Douglas vii

but j! will leave the vste of the State in
the hands Of Bell and Everett, where il
properly belongs.
Ifthers were any danger in the world
that the State would 60 for Lincoln, there
might be room for an appeal in behalf of
fusion; for il seems to be admitted on al
hands that the defeat of Lincoln is the par
amount duty Of all the parties. The Uaion
Party rely upon The pairlet,sn, Of The mass
es Of faHpariies to recognize this orerwhelm-
ing necessity Of defeating Lincoln, and
bis sectional party. They point 10 Bell
and Everett as ::unexosptionablc. national,
able, popular and conservative Statesmen,
who ell men admit would make eminentlv
safe guides and rulers for the nation. And
they say to Breckenridge and Douglas men
alike: "Here is the pathway to success
over the Republican party-vote for Bell
and Evorett-drop your faotious party fight,
aad &c fer the "Union, the Constitution,
and the Laws!''
The Union party Of Missouri desire
greatly to have ths cooperation Of The sup
porters Of Senator Douglas in Missouri
and they expect TO have it before the cnr-
vass is over. But they just as much desire
TO have the co-opsraiion Of the supporters
Of John @. Breckinridge. And they know
they will have the support of thousands Of
The latter also. But shall the Bell and Ev-
erette men drive off the Breckinridss
friends by cealescing with the Douglas party
Of drive of the Douglas men by open al
Unity with the Brecdinridgs side? Good
sense and patriotism say-no.
The Union party hold out the olive branch,
'f peace alike to all sections Of all parties.
md pray them in The name and by the
memory Of our Forefathers TO cease thsis
iiscord, and rally once more fra,ernally
lround the standard of our connon and be-
owed Union! They believe they win nc,
all in vain, while they occupy 80 lofty and
20 patriotic ground. But let them cncc
lsscend and mingle on enc side or tho 9TH
II in the war Of factions, and thsir prestige
nd position would be gone forever.
If we have not, in these remarks, truly
ct forth the feelings and views Of the Bell
nd Everett men sf 81. Esuis, We nuca
