Ex-Gov. Stewart is the candidate of the
emancipation party for Congress from the
fth district of Missouri, and Is attending
meetings all over his district. A few days
since he was at Fillmore, in the township
of jackson. where he addressed q large
audience. The place was formerly the
hotbed of treason, upon which Gov. Stew
art dealt his heaviest blows. He told them
if his election depended UPON the tote Of a
single traitor he would not accept the GER
tiiicate OF election that this war had been
forced upon loyal men, aud that loyal
men should not show mercy or elem
ency to those who syrnpathise with treason
Or aid rebellion. At the conclusion Of the
governors speech, Karnes haughlin took
the stand, and in few patriotic remarks
suggested that the vote be taken on the
emancipation question; so that the senti'
ments Of the crowd be known. The vote
demonstrated that four-ffihs Of the people
were in favor Of gradual emancipation, and
not a hand was raised endorsing the mega:
tive Of the question. There we're, howev-
er, few neurrals In the house, who did
not feel interested enough to vote either
way.
