THIS State sends eight radical mem

Undoubtedly tbe evidence might have

shown fraud enough to have overcome

Of ID for two years 70 come The con-
F soryatiye candidates from the sixth and
ninth districts give notice that they shall
contest the seats Of thc radical gentlemen
who received their certificates Of cleo
ton from the Secretary Of State. We
viii not bcgrudge them all the satisfac-
ton that Congress viii afford them
/ The foremost man in Missouri, the
lunquestioned head and front of the rad
ical party in the State, the Trainer Of our
present Constitution and especially the
''iron-clad oath, Charles D. Drake, was
elected to the q S. Senate the other
day for six years from the lth Of March
next to succeed Hon. b Gratz Brown.
His only competitor that was at all for
midable, was Gov Thomas G, Fletcher
but he withdrew his name from before
the radical caucus al an early stage of
the game, and Drake easily walked over
the course, receiving over one hundred
votes to thirty odd east for Frank Blair
once the leading uancipationist IN
Missouri for the pas, two years the
pet Of the bushwhaching gentry
Personally, Mr DRAKE is not popular,
having learned few q those winning
ways that demagogues use to keep thom-
selves IN the way Of power but be has
made FOR himself a record that viii live
while Missouri has a history. From the
outstart Of the Union cause in this State +
he has been fully and unequiyocally (
identified with i, Giving it lbs energies
and his means with ne grudging hand,
His industry and resolution have known
no abatement from fir. to last, and 70
his efforts more than tlose Of any Other
man. Missouri owes her Constitution Of
liberty and her si9ud victory over her
enemies at the election of last Noyem-
Der, and that She occupies her present
proud position befo.s stRa country in
to the huniliadng attitude of
Maryland and Kentucky 1t is not too

Charles d. Drake is the peer Of the
lblest senator that has ever represented
