the issue will be emancipation with
repatriation, and emancipation with
out expatriation. The secessionists
remain quiet, and the old sham do
mocracy will egg on the different fac
tons of the emancipationists in hopes
of slipping Il semi-secessionist into
the seat now held by Frank Blair.
The late demonstration by Blair in
favor of colonization, as a condition
precedent to emancipation, has lost
him the entire German vote. while
his course against Fremont has done
him great injury with another class.
The grand contest will be to commit
the Republicans of St. Louis to the
Blair doctrine or its opposite. The
adverse party is gradually combining
in favor of b. Gratz Brown. the old
line free soil Benton Democrat, who
wrote Blair into political fame while
editor of the Democrat a few years
ago. Mr.. Brown has written a strong
emancipa:ionletter. in which he scouts
the idea of colonization with force
and ability. This letter has made
him the representative man against
Blair and the Blair doctrine. The
Germans support Brown, and their
influence in the Republican party
may give him the nomination tor Con
gress.

Whilst DER our sunny country,
Grim War is stalking round,
No sex in acts are wanting.
But all in works abound.
While men their arms are taking,
And rushing to the fray.
The Ladies ply their needles.
To hinder all delay.
No matter who thesoldier.
Or where his home may be,
They hasten with their labor.
When they his wants may SEQ.
They linger not q moment.
They wish not to be free,
They move their taper fingers.
With great alacrity.
They smile amid their efforts:
They sing amid their toll;
They bid US drive the vandal.
From of our cherished soil.
Who, then would desert them.
Or leave them to the band.
Whose path is desolatiou
And ruin to our land.
What hearts, grown so callous,
Or cheeks blush not with shame.
When such q coward spirit.
Is mentioned but in name.
The Texan heart will ever,
Those Ladies acts revere,
Which were 50 kindly offered.

The thanks of Moore's command,
For all those favors to us

Why said the Yankee, 4 could
take one Englishman at time, then an

At the close of the sermon there came

from the State of Maine, and presented
to Mr.. Sturgeon letter of introduction
