TEE COW MON PEOPLE,

There is no middle class in the South,
If there had been middle class in that
section Of the country, as there is in. the
North, more powerful than the rich aud
poor combined, there would have been
no rebellion. There is a middle class in
the Border Slave States, but it is weak,
and stands in awe not only Of the rich
shareholders, but of their tools--the poor
whites. Still this shadow, as il we're, OF
middle class exists. and holds the bal
ance OF power in the Border States. In
time, leaders will spring up amongst them,
they will lose their reverence for slave
holders and their fear Of the sspoor white
trash, IN their midst, and will step forth
In the. front rank, to control events and
direct the policy ofthe future. They will
bring the secesh shareholders to Justice
punlsh them for their crimes, emancipate
their slaves and drive them out of the
country. Thus will the Border States be
restored to loyalty to the Government.
The process has commenced, and it will
grow rapidly.
The shareholders of tho Border States
have set the poor whites to fighting their
battles, they keep their slaves at home to
carry on their work. The people Of Mis-
sour and other Border States begin te
see 1t, and when they shall fully recognize
1t, the secesh slaveholding leaders will no
longer besecure from their vengeance. The
people 10 Northeastern Missouri are bo.
ginning to reflect upon these ideas. and
the reaction will now have free'course, and
We warn the sece sh in that section 10 be-
ware of the awakening wrath of the de-
iuded and injured people in their midst.

20 It will be found, upon investigation, that

son for his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Tunes.
Every honest man in the State has some

Long Johns mode Of argument was as fol
lows:
He would spend long time trying to show
that somebody or other had, some time or
other, been rascal; and then he would as
sert that he supposed that those men were
against the constitution.
Mr.. Breckenridge is an eloquent speaker,
and he enchained the attention of the large
audience for over two hours in cflectu1sly dis
sectipg tho eeccsh bird and showing conclu-
siyely that Long Johns positions we're hum
bug. I saw several citizens who said that
they had Intended to vote for the new consti-
tution before hearing Breckenridge's speech.
In fact, the able and eloquent ex position ot
the infamy Of the new constitution by Mr.
Breckenridge made several hundreds Of votes
against the thing.

e| Stephen S. Gale, one Of the commits
sioncrs to take the army vote, writes to q
gentleman in this city that the army vote
thus fur taken is heavily against the new
constitution. he says that out Of 1900
votes po1led by The soldiers found in Ken
lucky, as at Paducah, Hickman and Colum-
bus, / 500 had voted against to 300 for it.
This statement, remember, comes from a
friend and advocate Of the secession con
stitution, and he admits that the soldiers
arc opposed to it in the proportion Of siz

serts that tho soldiers are going for thu
