POLITICAL ME WIS.
THE FEELING IN MISSOURI.

"a
result Of the late election in Missouri, is ad.
vertised in the Republican, of the 23d, to
come off at st. Louis on the 25th. The
Democratic Governor elect, c. F. jackson.
and Messrs. Phelps, Clark, Morton, Reid,
NOEL, and Barrett, the Congressman elect,
are among those advertised to speak. Since
the late election in Missouri, the Democrats
are more actively at work than ever for
Douglas. The State Committee has stricken
from the electoral ticket those who have de.
clared for Breckenridge, and substituted
good Douglas men in their stead.
THE RUMORED WITHDRAWAL OF MR.. BRECK-
INRIDGE.
The Louisville Journal of Tuesday says {:
We speak what we do know when we say
that, Immediately after the late Kentucky cleo.
ton, it was seriously contemplated in impor-
tant quarters to have John c. Breckenridge
withdrawn from his position as q candidate for
the Presidency: For at least two or three days
it was doubtful what the decision would be.
Finally, the conclusion was arrived at that Mr..
Breckinridge should remain upon the track,
and things permitted to take their course,
every influence being brought to bear to
strengthen him as much as possible. The
leaders of his party do not see that they could
better promote their views by any change OF
programme this late day, however bitterly they
may feel the disappointment created by their
recent political disaster in our State. John q.
Breckenridge will not be withdrawn, yet he has
no hope, nor have his leading friends any hope
in his behalf, that he will ever be President,
unless of a Southern fraction Of broken con.
federacy.
REPUBLICAN ELECTORAL TICKET IN NEW YORK.
The Republicans are disposed to complain
of the coalition between the Bell and Doug
las men in New York !; and are attempting
to prejudice foreign citizens against voting
it, by the cry of Know Nothingism. At
the Republican State Convention, in New
York, James o. Putnam, of Chautauque,
the most rdbid and inveterate Know Nothing
in the State of New York, ,vas nominated to
head the Electoral ticket as one of the Electors
at large! Mr.. Putnam has been one of
the pillars and orators of Know Kothing-
ism from the start. He it was who in 1856
framed and introduced into the State SEN
ate the famous Church Property Bill which
passed the Legislature and become law.
Another illustration of consistency, is the
selection, for the other Elector at Large, of
VIM. Cullen Bryant, the editor of the New
York Evening Post, one of the most out
and-out Free Traders 10 the country. He
scouts Protection as worse than Humbug.
THE UNION IN THE SOUTH.
The Washington correspondent of the
Herald says: 1.-THE union between the
Douglas and Bell men is fixed fact all over
the South. There exists very hostile feel
ing against the disunionists, and both par
ties wish that no alliance with the Breck-
inridge men in New York may be formed,
as it would weaken the union movement in
the South.

DOUGLAS AND LINCOLN IN THE CONTEST.
The Black Republican presses are plum
ing themselves upon the pretense that Lin
coin makes no speeches. The Quency Ul.)
Herald tells the reason why Lincoln is kept
silent by his friends:
If Lincoln hasn't made any speeches since he
became candidate for President. it is because
his friends were afraid to let him expose him.
SELF They got him out last Wednesday, at
Springfield and he made a miserable failure
he attempted to make speech, and literally
nzzied out. ms own friends are ashamed of
the abortion that came from him in the name
of speech. The friends of Judge Douglas are
not thus Inundated. They know him to be a
statesman of commanding intellect, and of
broad, conservative, national principles, and
they know there's no danger of his making an

at this time only for the purpose of seeing you
