MISSOURI SPEAKS.

The State Democratic Convention of Mis-.
souri, declares that it would not only be unwise,
but wicked and trifing with the dearest inter
ests of the people, should the Democracy place
another ticket in the field, and thus insure the
election of Grant, the continued oppression and
plumber of the people, and the destruction Of
liberty and constitutional government through
out the country.
The committee on resolutions made long
report, which concludes as follows:
'Resolved, That the delegates appointed to
the convention to be held in July are instruct
ed to vote as unit against the nomination Of
candidates for President and Vice-President at
the approaching election
The resolution was adopted with round after
round of applause, and after number of speech
es the convention adjourned.

Tuesday, June IS, 1872.
NEARLY ALL ONE WAY.

So far as we have observed, all the Democrat
ic State Conventions which have, up to this
time, appointed delegates to the Baltimore Ma
tional Democratic Convention. have appointed
a majority of delegates in opposition to the
nomination of third ticket and in favor of
supporting Greeley and Brown, with the ex-
ception of Little Delaware, which has three
electoral votes.
In reference to the action of that State, the
Richmond Dispatch says
Little Della. goes the Straight Dem. Tick
Ell" in which she is "all aloney." She goes
against the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth
amendments. While she was agoing, why didn' t
she 20 against flies and mosquitoes, or any in
eradicable nuisance? She is not only plucky
but facetious."
OF those who oppose Grant an overwhelm-
ingly majority are opposed to the nomination
of third ticket-an who favor Grant re-elec
ton, favor Democratic nomination; for they
know that such nomination would ensure
Grants reelection beyond peradventure. It'll
evident that the choice will be narrowed dowr
to a choice between Greeley and Grant, anG
those who will oppose Greeley will be ''givins
aid and comfort to Grant, and opposing tn,
action of the Democratic Conservative party.

Another Accession.

Gen. Jas. Chestnut, formerly distingu ish-
ed U. S. Senator from South Carolina, in a
letter addressed to the Democrats of Kershaw
county, says that he has great faith in the Gin
cinnati movement. Mr.. Greeley he looks upon as
the symbol Of peace in the land, purity in the
government and prosperity among the people !;
also, as the symbol of the restoration Of law
and liberty, with equal rights and protection to
all. He earnestly favors Democratic repre-
sentation from his State in the Baltimore Con-
vention, and believes that the success of the
Liberal movement will have great and benef-
cial effect upon the welfare of South Carolina.

The Editorial Excursion.

The Excursion party of Southern Editors,
accompanied by some friends not editors IN
der the auspices of Maj. N. II. Hotchkiss, left
Richmond by the York River line at clock
on Saturday evening last on their trip North.
They reached Baltimore Sunday morning and
took quarters at the ST. Clair Hotel, Monument
Square. During the morning many of those
composing the party attended church, whilst
others moved about the city, taking a bird s.
eye view of various objects of interest. At 5
P. M. the company, thirty-six in Number, ac-
companied by several of the members of the
Baltimore city press, at the i1yitation of Mr..
S L. DE Ford, agent OF the Penn. Central and
Northern Central railroads. took carriages and
proceeded to Druid Hill P ark, where an hour
half was very pleasantly passed. All OBJ
jects ofinterest were duly noted and the beau
tiful park greatly admired.
At u A. NJ. Mond ay, they took the train
for Buffalo, Niagara Falls, &c. We hope they
will have pleasant time.

Swelling of the Tide.

On Tuesday last the Democratic State Con-
ventions of Kansas, Iowa, South Carolina and
Florida, and on Wednesday those of Missouri,
Indiana and Vermont declared for Greeley and
Brown in the election of delegates to the Balti-
more Convention. The combination in Indiana,
says the Richmond Whig, ensures thorough
sweep in that State of Congressman, Governor
and Legislature, and with the two great States
Pennsylvania and New York, and the South
ern vote for Greeley, without help from any
quarter, reduces the result of the Presidential
contest to mathematical certainty. No doubt,
plenty more States will rush in to join the vic
torious hosts, for nothing succeeds like success.

by the announcement of Conservative mass
meeting in the interest of Greeley aud Brown

of the Young Mems Greeley Club, under whose

| "Gentlelnen-I would with pleasure ac-
cept your invitation to attend the meeting at

this afternoon.
All that we can now do, and all We ought to
do, is to unite and work for the success of the

ut affords us the only opportunity we have
had since the close of the war for really coming
back into, the Union, and coming back not on
ly with unquestioned good faith, but with up.
lifted brows and undiminished self-respect and
honor.
Joining cordially in the principles and pur-
poses Of your great movement,
] am, gentlemen,
Very respectfully yours,

The meeting was in all respects success.

The Issue-Greelev or Grant.

A sufficient number of States have taken such
action as to dispel the fear of the nomination of
third ticket at Baltimore It is now evident
that the issue will be between Greeley support
ed by the Democrats, Conservatives, and Lib
eral Republicans, and Grant supported by the
negroes and the Radicals.
As soon as that Convention acts thousands
and tens Of thousands of Democrats and liberal
Republicans, who, awaiting the action of that
Convention, have not heretofore committed
themselves will rally with promptness to the
earnest support of Greeley, and elect him the
next President of the United States, and allow
Grant, if he chooses, to spend all his time at
Long Branch.

FOREIGNERS support Greeley.

"Greeley was never Know nothing" He
has always been friend of the foreigners, and
they will support with great humanity the
ticket OF Greeley and Brown in opposition to
that of Grant and Wilson-the latter of whom
was conspicuous Know nothing. In the North,
the Irish are forming Greeley clubs, and the
vote of that element of Foreigners will be cast
almost unanimously for the Greeley and Brown
ticket. There is some division among the Ger
mans, owing to Greeley's strict temperance
principles, but a large majority Of them viii
support him.

A WORD TO FOREIGN BORN CITIZENS. The
New York World thinks that the Germans of
the Northwest are consolidated against Greeley.
But how can they vote for Grant and Wilson /?
The latter was Grand Master of Know n othings
in Massachusetts, and presided over the Ma
tional Council Of that body. He made war on
foreign-born citizens and Catholics, and en-
deavored to take from them the rights be strove
to give the negroes. These are facts which cam
not be disputed, and in view Of these, we ask
what American citizen horn abroad can vote
the ticket bearing the names of Grant and
Know-Nothing Wilson ?-Noyozk Vrginian.

RoCKBRIDGE CoURT-HoUsE.-T Rock
bridge Citizen, in speaking of the Courthouse
in Lexington, says:
ut was once probably a tolerable decent
building, but that was long time ago. 1t has
been cut up, and changed, and botched, till it
now would not make decent pig pen without
some improvement. The walls are good, and
the building by complete quitting and rear
ranging, and little attention to the outside,
would make a more convenient, comfortable
and respectable looking house. This can be
done, We are informed by architects, at a
moderately small cost -

The Lynchburg Nrginian says, it only re-
mains for the Baltimore Convention, in keep
ing an eye single to the public good, to preserve
harmony, and thus present an unbroken OPP
position to the Military Ring. We begin to
think now, that there will be no serious oppogi-
ton at Baltimore to the only rational means
rescuing the country from the dominion Of
spoilsmen and usurpers. Let all the opponents
ofGrantism and personal government fall into
line, and glorious victory awaits us.

Loss BY FIRE.-The saw-mill and chopping
mill of Capt. Maginnis at Willow Grove,
Shenandoah county, was burned on the morn
ing of the Sth inst. Loss $6,000-no insur-
ance. The Shenandoah Herald says, it was
one of the most complete mills in the Valley.
The machinery was valuable, including besides
the different saws, an excellent single machine.
In addition to the loss of mill and machinery
there was several thousand feet of fine selected
lumber, number of doors, door and window
frames, and other property.
