PoLIrcs IN MIS- ssouEr.-From Missouri,
we learn that the tremendous efforts Of
Frank Blair and his rebel friends. instead
of weakening the Radical party. are only
uui,ipg them, aud making them stronger.
The Blair j ohnson party will embrace
the rebel sympathisars. Conservatives,
and few wavering men who tried for a
season to be Radical. bu, finding they
were not trusted BY that party. have fall
en- back TO their natural position. The
division in the Radical ranks on the ques,
ton of the new Constitution. no longer
exists; the party is thoroughly organic
ing, and will carry the Safe. The BiaiI
strength lies principally in the central
Counties, bordeIjng on the Missouri
River, which have been thoroughly under
the control of Bushwhackers. and in
few scattering Counties through the State
But in majority Of the Counties. theil
chances are slim. Take Holt County

WHAT WoULD STAND IN THE WAY p
"Why. the Rebels and Copperheads oil
praise President Johnson's policy" say
the Radicals. Now. if.hey were to unite
with the "Rsbels and Copperheads" in
support of the policy. what would be in
the way Of enduring peace and perpetual
Union ?-Demoeratie Paper. e.. $50
/. That would be Democratic policy, all
over. Johnson's course just suits the
rebels. and thersfore the Republicans
ought to support !, in order to promote
harmony. Sam. Medary's Crisis wanted
the North to adopt the Constitution Of
the Southern Copfederacy. and by that
means unite the country under one Gov
eminent. Since :he Presidet has adopt.
ed rebel policy. the Copperheads ask
loyal men to ACCEPT that, for the purpose
of securing peae and harmony. The
war was not fought for the purpose Of al
lowing traitors I'd rule; and before it is
submitted to-. tie country will accept

MAILs.-Last weeks Troy Reporter
says:
The contract for carrying the mails
from St. Joseph. ria. Troy to Omaha,
which was let in March last, was award
ed to Messrs Wheeler. Nichols & Co., an
old and reliable company who have sever
al other mail contracts in this State. One
of the gentlemen of the firm informed Us
the other day that they will put daily
line of stages on this route about the lst
of July.
This is good news. and we hope the
contractors will keep their promise. The
present contractors have made their
"buck- board an insuHsrable nuisance.
They care little whether they carry the
mail regularly or not; and they are de.
termined to do nothing to take passengers
from their line on the opposite side Of the
river. When boats are not running. there
is no public conveyance to st. Joseph, on
this side of thu river. A reliable line oI
stages on this side, would secure large
majority of the land travel from St. Joe.

passengers, even while the boats were

flowed. They could pay expenses from
passengers alone. and have their contract
price for clear gain. Let it be done, by
all means.

SEWARD AT AUsURN.-Secretary Sew
ard made a speech. last week. at his old
home, Auburn, New York. on the polit-
ical issues of the day. 1t was intended
as defence of Johnson's policy. and to
restore harmony in the party, on Conser-
vative principles. Its main features are
hypocrisy and blarney, unbecoming a
man of Sswari's high Standing. Hesays

to doubt that they are in earnest. or that
they arc actuated by patriotic and hon

Trying Il Over.

It will be recollected, that in the last
State canvass. when the people showed a
disposition to revolt against ths ,!ictaiion
OF Gen. Lane, certain practices were re-
sorted to. to force public opinion in the
desired channel. Influential newspapers
that had commenced speaking plain
truths. were bought up at large prices,
and suddenly made to change front and
agents from the army and the Depart
ments at Washington were scattered over
the State. to make noise. and control
local Conventions. The same game is
being played over again. Already "les.
ding papers'' are undergoing omiaous
changes in. management; and already
noiss.mskers are being distributed. and
are busily ct work enlisting the services
Of men who have nothing to do bat to
attend to sly work. and lay plans to take
the people unawares. A couple of fel.
lows have just been forwarded to this
County. from the public service at Wash.
ingtou, and are actively manipulating
men of their class and style. Our i'm.
preston is, that the people are going to
have q sort Of an eye to affairs, the com.
ing campaign, and that next Falls cleo
tion will show these manipulators to b.
