IL ia unfortunately a split in the Emancipation
party, which numbers 100 out Of 100 constituting

! This spin started in st. Louis. The Blair party
in tins city and county, previous to the election
sought to ignore the question Of Emancipation
This did not please the majority and counter ward
meetings were called under the motto Of A" Uncon-
dlional Union and Emancipation, against " Unc0n-
dtional Union" The Blair ward meetings were
held Oh Friday, and they did their pleasure. The
more radical ward meetings on Saturday night were,
in ,ome cases packed by the Blarites, BY the
attendance Of his friends, and some who are said TO
have been hired 10 attend. The county conventions
came off on Monday, and TO unite the TWO wings,
the Blair Convention sent over 10 the iaolcai Con,
vention resolution OF Unconditional Union ana
Emancipation" But the radicals, offended at the
trick Ia the primary meetings, and disgusted win

from the Convention, and called another SGT OF ward

ticket into the field, with some names that had
received nomination by the Blairites. The Central
Committee Of The latter ordered all their candidates
whose names were on the radical ticket to withdraw
from it, which they did, and the whole Blair ticket
wss signally defeated. Mr.. Glover was on the
Blair ticket for Representative, and was beaten BY
a radical by over l 800 majority, These parties

The Legislature assembled. The " Charcoals
were triumphant in the election Of Speaker Of the
House, and in the appointment OF the Special Com

of Browns friends were also absent. Only ~
