| We find in the St Louis Democrat, th,
oldest Republican paper IN Missouri, al
account Of the reception OF Gen. Schuri
| it says:
General Echurz's opposition to San
Domingo and the Sumner removal was
| of course, much approved by the Demo
crats OF St Louis as well as by many
Republicans. Circumstances In Misscu
ri and ST. Louis were such as to render
that opposition peculiarly welcome tC
the Democratic bosom. In the pl ploposeC
reunion of Republicans here the Demo
Gratis saw their greatest peril. and In tbs
| course OF Senator Schurz that which
thew could turn to most valuable u~e
| IN frustrating such union and averted
such peril. Accordingly, the Anzicger
and Repu5lican (Dem.l, and the Demo
cratic Central Committee. made the
most ofSchurtz, and, at the Anzeiger' S
suggestion, portion of that committee
and other leading Democratic partisanS,
together with General Mcneil and his
associates, with one or two Union Re-
publicans, Joined In rendering to the
Senator an ovation. He was greeted at
the Southern by large crowd extensive
" com posed, of course, of the Democrat
ic element, to which he administered
some sound advice.
Three bands were in attendance, one
of them headed by Capt. John [ Martin
mounted on prancing steed and wear
ing the sash of the ''Red Rangers. -
This band was followed by a crowd from
the northern portion of the city.
Leading his men to the front of the
hotel, Captain Martin halted, arose In
his stirrups, and demanded three
cheers for Carl Schurz and Frank Blair!''
The cheers we're given.
'sThree cheers for Call Schurz, with

The Senator does not think that the
era OF good feeling extends throughout
the South. and he favor5 general annes-
ty. He thinks there has been "a loose
ness Unconstitutional ooiliDn he adds !:

The Senator cannot conceal his cha
grin and astOnishment at the. silent con-
tempt with which & Z Alerlcdn people
treat the charge against the President
of that most tiagruut UsUrpaton 0t the
war-nlaking power. He ought to learn
by this time that public opinion has
coudemae the charge as utterly ground
less, and he sooner he drops 1t the bet
ter it will be for his reputation. II
there was any solid basis for the charge,
the President should he lupeached ;
but there is none and the people know 1t.
lie sums up as f'iiows:
Here tnen my friends, you have my political pro
errarnle touches questions any import

The Democrat SAYS tact as the former
| rebels are enfranchised now IN thai
! State, the reason for the bolt of last yeal
| has ceased to exist, and the two wings o
| the Republican party should unite. Tho
Democrats and few Republicans op-
pose this union. 1t became q question
therefore, how Senator Schurz wouic
carry out "a policy calculated to restor,
| fraternal feelings He failed to say ii
his speech whether he favored the unioi
| of the party or not. 1t would have
been much more interesting and import
ant to his hearers than repitition o
favorite phrases on the San Domingo
matter.
in this union of the party is involved
the question whether Missouri shal
give her electoral vote in 1872 for
Democratic or Republican nominee
| 1t is, therefore, matter which shoult
nearly concern its Republican
Senator tie processes to have n'
conceaIments. He viii certainly increas
his influence as an advocate of liberia
principles in the Republican party b.
letting it be known, equivocally. wheth
er he understands the bolt at jefferson
to have been & bolt from the Nationa
Repu blican party aud whether. in rhi
view, the settlement of the sole question
on which the bolt took place did no
leave the Republicans of Missouri {
unite, with no more actual difference
| than separate Republicans in olhe
States. on the common Republican plat
form. .'-.State JoaraGt.
