ourselves Accessories to fraud.

The st. Louis Times. of the End inst,
contains en- able editorial recommending
the democratic members Of the. Illinois
legislature to support eitherTrumbull or
Palmer for senator. We believe that a
large majority OF the democrats Of Mis-
souri, would rejoice to see their sister
state so well represented as she would
be by either Of these gentlemen and a.
the legislaturei is almost evenly balanced,
politically. the nomination of one of
them by the liberals and democrats
would no doubt result in his election.
Our preference is for Lyman Trumbull,
who has proven his capacity. and whose
voice has already been raised against
the policy of Capitalization aud usurpa-
ton which is gradually undermining
our political system, and which, if per-
mitted to continue, will soon make it a
mockery of liberty.

The ST Louis Times does not like our
defense Of the new constitution. Well,
we can't help it. It is not our mission
10 write to suit the Times. We do our
own reading, and draw our own conclu-
sions. We have never said that the in
strument was perfect, but we did say
that it was a good constitution, and that
the people would stand by it. They
said so at the polls, the Times opposi-
ton to the contrary notwithstanding, by
= majority OF seventy. five thousand or
t~hereabouts, and they propose to give it
q fair chance, in spite of would-be
tinkers.
