Missouri Politics.

j. w. MoClurg Is the regular
and B. Gratz Brownis the irreg.
ular Republican candidate for Govor
nor Of Missouri. The great majority
of the Convention being evidently
bent on nominating McClurg, the
Brownies bolted and nominated
Brown.
McClurg and his party are ortho.
dox, and Brown& Co. ore heterodox.
McClurg was Colonel Of Missouri
regiment Of militia; member of
Congress of ordinary briliancy, and
a Governor who has been consider
able man in very small way
Brown is q little red bullet headed
insigni6cantlooking chap, who made
quite reputation as the radical and
rabble rousing editor Of the Missouri
Democrat, but who as United States
Senator, was a.brilliant failure, except
that we consider being the wet nurse,
and tender to John B. Henderson as
the acme of craftsmanship.
McClurg insists upon rebel disfran-
chisement, and Brown goes for uni
versal amnosty and a general jubilee,
and Jail delivery of Missouri rebels,
and bushwhaokers. McCIurg and
his party are for high tariff and
endorse the dogma that this great
country should be reconstructed, |
into a big machine shop, witha small
back yard for few highly favored,
and highly protected bob-tailed
merino sheep.
Brown 4 Co. say that man
should be allowed to soil his produce
where he can get the most for it, and
buy his goods where he can get them
the cheapest, and that there are
other interests in this blarsted coun-
try besides wood screws, and
pig iron.
In the meantime the Johnies are
enjoying the shindy; are not nomi- |
mating any State candidates, and
will unquestionably throw all their |
votes to Brown the liberal candidate, |
who will in all probability be cleo.

Senator Morton recently delivered
o powerful political speech at Terre
Hautc, Indiana, in which he exhibited
the following splendid view of the
Republican party:
Itabolishod Slavery; it established
Universal Suffrage; it gave liberty
to all sections; it protected the Civil
Rights Of all mon it defeated Ropu-
diation i it gave Republican Govern
ment to the South ; it built the Pacific
Railroad it passed the Homestead
Law; it opened new roads into the
unlnhabited public domain; it secured
pensions and homesteads to the I'm.
ion soldiers; it has reduced the
National Debt $145, 900, 900 in l6
months, thus certainly securing the
extinction of the whole debt in less
than Is years 1t has reduced Tara
ton sS0,OO0,0O0 1t one bill; it has
passed q Revenue Tariff with full
incidental protection to American
labor it has reduced the prospective
interest ON the National Debt.
In contrast no presented the fol-
lowing truthful pictutc OF the Dem
ocratic party:
Sympathy with the Rebellion Do,
votion to Slavery! Hostility to
Universal Suffrage! Persecution Of
the Freed Peoplel Opposition to tho
Civil Rights Bill! Favorable to Repu-
diation! Adverse to the Reduction
Of the Debit Votes in Congress
against Reducing Taxation! Preju-
diced against the Union Soldier
Committed to Low Wages and Free
Trade!
Voters are invited to choose be
tween these two.

The Missouri Republican (Dem. }
thus commends the boilers from the
Republican State Conyention.
"The first striking feature of the
Brown platform is The remarkable a6-
sence Of everything concerning Presi-
dent Grants Administration. There
is not one word about it, good, bad,
or indifferent. The omission cannot be
accidental; IL certainly acas predeter-
mined; and zoe must look to tie deuel-
opnaents ofthe cdnvdss to explain the
phenomenon. The Brown party will
find that they need new name; and,
when they decide on the name, it may
afford d solution of the mystery. Can
it be that they propose to proclaim
what Mr.. Brown would call new
evangcl, not only outside the Radi-
cal party of Missouri, but above the
Radical party ot the country, and
above the Administration they assist
Cd to power in 1862 Or, is tho
omission only an expression OF MIR.
Brown and Senator Schurz's estrangc-
mont from tho President AS for
tho actually expressed resolutions,
they contain manifest merits; indeed,
in the main, they are good for six
out OF the nine are stolen almost Jodilu
from the Democratic platforms Of the
country, and simply repeat principles
that tho Democratic party OF Mis-
sour have again and again avowcd,
for years." &c, &c.
-Itis clear that the whole bust
moss was predetermined" and that
tho end contemplated by tho bolters
was determination with the Sham
Democracy. But for that, their fail
ure would expose them to present
ridlcule and ultimate contempt. But
they have started for the cnemy's
camp, and will not lingcr long on the
way.-N Y. T;ibuae.

What of the War P

just now, We meet tho question on
every hand, what is the position OF
affairs between Prussia and France?
Will King William make peace with
France, or will the war be continued?
No sufficient data is yet communi-
Gated through our Geographic dis,
patches, to lead us to believe that
peace is at hand, but, on the contrary,
it is indicated that King William
will not treat with the republic, but
with the representatives Of the
Emperor. Five Prussian army corps
are marching upon the city, with
orders to take position, in convenient
distance Of the city, by the 14lh
