" ' Remonstrant.
- i' To the citizens of Lafayette, Jrhn-
on, I'eJlis) and Henry counties: You
are aware that at our last session a
movement was inaugurated for tho
- ' formation of a new county, to be eom-
Etisoil of parts of Lafayette, Johnson,
ettis and Henry, with the county seat
. ft be located at Knob Nosfcr. That
proposition is again before the General
,7 Jmn iiiblj. Believing that in opposing
--: thin. -movement we arc but representing
tho will of a large majority of onr eon-
'-Mitnents, both without amJ trUMn the
limits of the proposed new county, we
ask yon to make -known to the (ieneral
AwiUv, withont delay, your wishes
j,npan tfet-4 uuijeet.by forwarding re
monstrance against any projiosed
change in your present county lines,
and praying the General Asseml ly to
forego action upon the subject.

tn Tuesday last, we printed quite a
number of the above remonstrances,
and had them placed in the several
business houses of this city, and also
mailed copies to the several post mas
ters of the county, in the hops that
they would both circulate and procure
signatures to them. As rapidly as
these papers can be signed, it isdoira
tdo that they be transmitted to our
Tepresentatives at Jefferson, or for
warded to us for transmission to them.
Those in town will please send to us
by 3fonday morning, that the names
may go forward by Tuesday's mail.
W have heard so little said upon
tho subject of this dismemberment of
onr county that we are entirely in the
dtrk as to tho wishes of onr people ;
but take it for granted they, like our
selves, desire ao such change of lines,

the request conveyed by our represen

Mo5K, a memter of the polecat
Legislature, and the leader of Thomas
l's. militia in the southwest, is anxious
to induce the belief that the Missouri
. Republican belongs to the radical per
suasion, we infer from some language of
the fellow. lie spoke of the Republi
can as "pusillanimous, dull-pated, amal
gamated, thief and scum of St. Louis."
We doubt not he would like to have
the Republican in the party, and when
ever any of these peculiarities are dis
covered in it, we shall conclude it has
entered into partnership with M"xks,
ItaaroCK and Fletcher. Xot before.
It Is sail that the house of that
"ckrilian gentleman," old Babtokk,
has been burnt down "by the rebels of
Miefps county.' This is bad. It was
not the fault of the house that it shel
tered a murderer, counterfeiter and
hnrm thief. Poor old house ! We are
inclined to believe there is some mis
take as to the parties destroying the
old house, for we don't believe a rebel
would lire in the same county with the
old sinner, nnrobled, nnburned, or un
Jiang. It was a part of bis dutv. a la
Safem, destroy all.

The cewtest between the Judge and
the usurper .Vax Horn is now at an
nd. The Congress has decided that
tire to the privacy of his own home
and family. The speech of the Judge,
a t . - m a 1 t
in tho closing argnment, which we
have carefully read, brings out the
strong points of the case most admira
bly, and as a convincing document has
few equals. But tho eloquence of a
Paul would have failed to induce any
charge in the court of Pontius Pilot,
or charge a preconceived decision by a
radical Congress, or secure a decision
from a body held together exclusively
by the "cohesive power of public plun
der." Judge Piacn showed by the record
that hundreds of people had been dis
qualified from voting who were by
every rule entitled to vote, and did
vote on the rejected line, ample to have
secured his seat. He prove I by the ro
cord that the State was not in rebellion
at the seiznre of Camp Jackson; that
persons in the State guard were ilis
disfranchised wrongfully ; showed that
the convention of usurpers and traitors
who framed our present constitution
had gone outside of the instructions
received by them, and bad actually dis
franchised some of the very men who
had called them into life to "consider,
first, such amendments to the constitu
tion of the State as may be by them
deemed necessary for the emancipa
tion of the slaves ; second, such amend
ments to the constitution of tho State
as may be by them deemed necessary
to preserve inpnrify the franchise to
loyal citizens, and such other amend
ments as may" be by them deemed es
sential to the promotion of the public
god." Instead of amendments to the
constitution, this radical convention,
engineered by C. D. I)u vke, made a
new constitution out and out, which
was n r r adopted by the people. Thai
went for nothing. The judge showed
that the said convention had 110 right,
by the law of the State, to do more
than require an oath of loyalty to the
government and State, except for crime,
but that this Drake swindle required
much more. What of it ? The radical
cormorants of the Ilump have appetite
for all such mea as an Horn, and
right or wrong, he must continue to
misrepresent this people. Tho Judge
showed that by law, ail persons enti
tled to vote for members of the gener
al assembly were entitled to vote for
the conventionists, but when it came
to "preserving tho purity of the" bal
lot box, none but negro whiners, trai
tors, disunionists and rogues were pure
enough for that task.
It was in proof clearly and unmis
takably that Judge Ii. had some 2,500
majority over Tan ; that the loyal had
been disfranchised ; that whole town
ships had been excluded from the count ;
that the registers, in nearly every in
stance, were candidates with Van ;
that they had of their own volition
proscribed and disfranchised the peo
ple; that the vote cast on the rejected
list were for Birch ; that all were re
quired to take the said oath ; that none
that men were thus disqualified with
out cause ; that the test oath in its op
erations, and construed aecording to
radical ideas, excluded all ; that the
decision of the supremo ccurt was ad
verse to that oath, because it was re
trospective, e.r post facto, a bill of pains
and jenalties, and becanso it included
these who were "not even blamewor
thy. But it wouldn t do. A an had a
certificate. Tas had in his pocket a
lie stating he had been elected.
The committee on elections, finding
themselves inundated with testimony
going to show the radical villany of
the whole election, and covered up !y
arguments they could not meet, fell
back on tho fact that names were not
eiven in the list of rejected voters !
We should think not. Names, indeed !
How was Bmcn to get names, espec
ially under the ruling of radical county j
court justices, that no pmrcr but Con-'
Qrcsi could open ihf ballots Z Ye gods 1
and little fishes names, and fhoss very '
names withheld by the candwAtes on
Van's ticket ! Names of the rejected,
when the sconndrols had them locked
in vaults that Birch, unlike our honso
breaker?,couId not-open with a crowbar.
Cur Dog Drakk's pronnnciamiento :
that there 13 to be no backing down on
tho negro suffrage measure in this
State, is met by a motion in the Legis
lature, by Senator Williams of Scot
land couuty, rescinding the act passed
at last session, to put that measure be
fore the people. What will be the fute
of the bill, we do not know. But we
do know that the enfranchisement of
tie negro will be voted down, if the
Cur l)og shall insist upon its being
submitted to the people for their ap
proval or rejection. The bill of Wil
liams is nothing short of a clean back
down, if it shall be adopted.

The Trinco uf Wale's tas lurried poet,
Truth at a Discount, j
Fkrhando Wood was recently repri
manded" in tho Congress, so allcd, for
having enunciated tiio truth. This is
a rare case, wo know, or rather it was
raro before the Jacobins seized the
country, and engaged to engineer it to
perdition. "Truth crushed to earth
will flirnin " k.i U.1...L,
. '
ami swear to what Mr. Wood said as
being true, wo cannot discover that the
reprimand was more or nutter than a
very laughablo farce a sort of Black
Crook, with any number of nude he
pymphs in the distance; and any
amouut of disguisod villains iu vho
front scone.
The language wmA by Mr. Wood
the truth stated br him and for whic h
he was reprimanded, occurred on the
debato on the new reconstruction bill,
when Mr. Woon said of it, it was "a
wnn.trosity, and the. moft ir famous one
ff this most h'f.imoui Congress."
The wholo is as true as holj- writ,
unless it he that the infamy was more
infamous than its predecessors. We
have no steelyards by which to woigh
these severaljjmotiidrous and infamous
bills, passed by monstrous and infa
mous villains. If we hail, wo might
come exactly to the same conclusion
arrived at by Mr. Wood. The whole
thing is true. It is true that tho bill
is monstrous and infamous, because
It ignores the white man ;
It builds up tho negro;
It establishes amalgamation ;
It makes us a nation of mongrels ;
It ignores Christianity j
It denies civilization ;
It cuts tho throats of the people ;
It mnrders liberty;
It denies fiod ;
It is infidelity puritanized ;
It violates the constitution ;
It destroys the executive department;
It perjures the villains voting it;
It defies tho will of the people;
It, destroys the "best government;"
It is RANK, ia.l HOT-Ti; BASON ;
Ps fricthls arc traitors;
It destroys the judiciary ;
It makus (I rant king;
It puts the tuiliiury above the civil
authority ;
It proves the movers liars ;
It is unconstitutional ;
It is a swindle, a fraud ;
And we might go on ad infinitum with
this analysis. But enough.

In tho last year, our public debt, all
the time reported as being reducod, has
actually been increased 650,000,000,
and that, too, in gold interest bearing
bonds. Dec. 1, 167, tho debt bearing
coin interest was Sl.SlO.SoT.SOl HI,
and at same time in l?ii, it amounted
to 1,00.102,001 m. Instead of par-
! ing its indebtedness to shoddyitos and
bondtsts in greenbacks, as it pays its
indebtedness to tho merchant, fanner
and soldier, bonds are given, bearing
gold interest, and the people are expec

The government tax on whisky is
said to amount to one hundred millions
of dollars per annnm. Out of this
princely income, the government suc

of dollars, so that seventy per centum
of the whole is lost or squandered be
tween collectors, swindlers, &c. Tho
people will learn from this the justice
of taxation, as administered by the
radical scoundrels who have them in
charge. Sevonty millions of dollars

whisky tax! Just think of it.

3. He said that the debt of thoStato

owed 87,000,000, and the debt is ro
nearer paid to-day than when Thomis
commenced stealing tho railroads.
4. He says that the valuation of

time prescribed. Mr. Allen says he
has expanded 60 13,4 11 33, in the timu.
7. Ho says Allen failed to file ft
statemout of expenditures under oatfc,
required by the coutract. Mr. Allen
says it is not true; that tho contract
does not specify 1st January, but is
required to bo made annually ; that he
filed such statement 17th January, and
that the year ended the 11th.
S. To ail the excuses made by Thom
as for seizing tho road, Mr. Allen re

A note from Mr. Donas', now sooa to
become tho editor of the St. Joseph
Vindicator, dated at .Mew York, fys:
'I've just read Vaviiian's letter. It is
glorious, magnificent. Here is my
hand on it, with ail my heart." So
that there is much diversity of opinion.
We shall not venture an opinion further
than already advanced until t his troi.bie
is settled, but we shall certainly take
back nothing at present, nor so long as
we have such good backers. R. E. lk-1,

point himself, and appreciates ono made

Messrs. Makmaul'kf, A Ba own, com
mission merchants at St. Louis, say of
the late crops
The yield of wheat last year though
in excess of previons vcars did not
come up to the expectations of dealers,
either in quantity or quality, henco the
prices advanced, and a decline of prices
.1 . . ,t cr,
conies into market.
Hemp continues to grow more and
more into disuse, and its future does
not look bright. Formerly 4.000,000
bales of cotton produced in the South
called largely on tho northwest for rope
and bagging. Now tho yield of cotton
has been reduced to less than 2,000,000,
with a prospect of its being further ma
terially reduced in ll!, besides the
cheapness of the iron tie, and the dis
crimination made in its favor by rail
roads and insurance companies tend
still further to lower tho prieo of hemp.
The prices of the past year cannot be
expected for this.
Considerable stocks of both manu
factured and loaf tobacco aro on hand
in the United States and in Europe,
and thongh tho crop of lsf7 is not es
timated to bo larg, higher prices are
not expected.
Wool has declined in sympathy with
cotton and manufactured goods gener
ally, but it is thought the medium of
prices has heon reached.
The trade of St. Louis has suffered
greatly from the partial failure of
crops, the general prostration of trade
in the South and the heavy tax on
cotton.
m
MoxaMoitToN thinks that if freedom
has mudt3 the negro lazier than before,
by which ho does less work, it will
have tho effect of making Northern
whites moro industrious ! This may
result, but we rather incline to the
opinion that these Northern whites
will not thank Morton and his gang of
destruction ists for compelling fhem to
do a few hours more of hard labor than
heretofore. Following upon the negro
abolition ruination, the mercurial peo
ple of tho North had the term of lalor
reduced from ten to eight hours per
day, Congress belittleing itself by a
passage or notice of tho measure; and
now we have tho tinkers at work com
pelling tho laboring man to do a little
mors to make up tho deficit of tho ne
gro, .sficn Wisdihii, we are gian to ;t,
is extremely scarce, and only to be
found in this favored country. By the
way, what has become of that school
of infidel Yankees that formerly shoal
ed here, who swore daily that tho free
dom of tho negro was necessary be
cause ho was in tho way of the white
man ! Has any of thorn got to be col
lectors of the whisky tax.
Tho Governor has gotten so low that
ho makes war on a Jefferson City book
seller for vending Gen. Vavohan's let
ter, and will perhaps commence suit
against its readers. The weak -knee .1
had letter commence vomiting it up
now, or fixing to swear they had not
seen it. His highness will have ample
opportunity of proscribing others for
reading this letter, if it will amuso
him. If there- wero no truth in the
letter, it would be harmless and passed
in silence; but as it abounds in truth,
his excellency finds it telling on him,
and would suppress it, just as he hoped
he had suppressed the testimony in the
libel suits, or as he hopes to do- in the
case of the Iron Mountain suit. It
won't work.
The Richmond Conservator says it
puffs the Harpers, because in "mechan
ical excelienoo and literary ability"
they are good. Hut that it does not
endorse their "political affiliation," and
thinks the people will judge of that.

We believe every affirmation in ii to be
false; and we think so, not so much
because wo know tho Coventor's ex
tromo bashfulness and timidity about
telling the truth, tut because, in his j
message of a few days previously, the !
Governor intimated, in good diplomatic 1
language, that the owner of the road I
had complied with his contract in au j
particulars, and that the time for their I
tulhllment had not expired. Either our 1
assertion or tho other is false, and if
tho Governor is in tho habit of thus
prevaricating in his btato papers, the
people aro as safe in believing the one
as the other, or in believing noil her. It
is a bad fix to get into wc know, but
then Thomas has made his own bed,

We have seen it stated that Mr.

and notwithstanding the assertions of

owners of that veritable cart and old

must bo accounted for on one of two
hj-pothesis, viz : that the 'governor did
not make enough out of tho first sale,
or that Mr. Allen is a conservative of
weaith, paying taxes to tho amount of
840,000 per year, and is no way con
nected with Bobting men or Hosting
roads. At any rale, the realms align
ed by tho Governor are of tho must
fli insy character, and as unreliable as
flimsy, else Mr. OititfK., a radical mem
ber of tho Legislature, would not have
introduced a bill to pass the title of the
roa l to Mr. Allen, and instructing the
Governor to deliver it. to him.
Tho w hole railroad boggle, as left
upon our mind by the Governor's mos
sagos atol his seizure of the road i sim
ply thnt he means to force a sale of the
Pacific, the North Missouri, the South
west branch, and tho Iron Mountain on
the State, that ho may finish up that
splendid fortune so auspiciously com
menced a year ago bj- the sa'o of a
part of them. Radicals will justify
him, let him do what he will.
New York Day Book.
Wo havo been sent a prospectus for
this sterling democratic paper, with a
request that we procure a club. We
arc every way willing to do so, except
that our leisure moments are too scarce
and valuable. Tho Day Book is one of
the papers that goes into the very
" joints and marrow " of mongrclism,
and shows them up in all their deform
itv. It confronts and grapples with
tho monstrous delusion that holds in
abject thrall the intellect of the coun
tr", and while aiding to the utmost of
its ability in denouncing the Vicir.x em
ploye 1 by the madmen in power, it
I demonstrates that tho end, object or
j thing they strive to accomplish, in-
as weil as the wreck of constitutional
liberty. The error that the mongrels
may be overthrown without attacking
tho fundamental principles of the par
ty ii ahly combattcd, and so presented
that all may understand. It is one of
the ablest democratic papers printed
and should have a large subscription.

Anger of his Excellency.
.TK.iTV.nsox Citv, January 14, I8C0.
If reports he true, tho wrath of his
Supremo Highness, over the publication
of General Vaughan's letter is bound
less, anil dire threats have been uttered
in official quarters. The furthcoming
pamphlet, which is to contain such an
amount of damaging testimony against
the radical party, is looked for with in
terest by all parties. A good deal of
nervousness is evident among the load
ers, and signs of a hack, down on the
part of the radical party, on certain
measures are plainly manifested. The
failure of Branscomb's motion to post
pone indefinitely Irummond's propos
ed amendment to tho constitution is
regarded as very significant. That an
effort will be made this winter to with
draw the amendment to be voted on
next November, looking to the enfran
chisement of negroes, is regarded as
certain.
Somebody has had a talk with the
President. He still has confidence in
the people ! He still has confidence in
tho army. This is all ven' well. The
President is certainly full of confidence.
The people have been playing the con
fidence game on him quite longcnongh.
The same people who have been wit
nesses to this confidence game this
game at base ball are quite willing
that it should havo an end, that the
President either do one of two things :
maintain himself and tho constitution,
and save the country, or let all of them
0. .... . a.!.-. I-: li'
have a government, the peojde want to
know it. If they are to have a despot
ism such as the present portend upon
them for all time, it is important they
should knew it. Confidence in the peo
ple is all well enough in its place. Hut
its importance at tho present crisis
docs not meet tho case in hand.
Mr. Johnson declares the measures of
tho radical Congress revolutionary, and
says he has "confidence in the army.
If" these things be true, they would
seem to require a stronger treatment
than " confidence in tho people. "
That is a good panacea ordinarily ; but
will it answer when eight millions of
people are to be rubbed of all they have,
and thirty-five millions are to be de
frauded out of a republican form of
government, and to become the mer
est subjects of a few ? We think not.
And we think, and havo thought for
two jears, that the President ought to
havo placed all traitors, disorgani
.crs, villains and drunkards of the rule
or ruin party in the old capitol, with a
guard. If this had been done at the
right time, the South would " have been
on its legs. "
A correspondent of the Dispatch de
scribes the workings of the radical law
in St Louis abolishing the Sabbath re
restriction law. He says that the
howlers " made night hideous with their
yells, " and that singing, music, danc
ing, drinking and carousing were the or
der of the first Sabbath of its introduc
tion. Sunday is now, by radicaf rule,
a day of brawl, instead of a day of I
rest.

say it had passed the popular branch
of drunkards. Spooney Butler pro
posed to amend the bill so as to srive
t,lC appointment of State offices to the
cmeiiuon, wuuii was voted down,
"etaf &,iay3 112.
The'bill will go to the Senate, and by
,flw 10 t,ie President, but whether thfs
feature of the law will be regarded is
doubtful. It' it should be sent to the
1 rcsmenr, ne wu ot course veto it
He should sign it. He should give the
villains rope that they may the sooner
hang themselves, because he will not
hang them or have them hung.
The President takes things verv
quietly indeed. He has fur two years
and f.vcr stood by and witnessed the
outrages of this drunken body of hrawl
crs, lareoners, and mur.-eVs of civil
and religious libcrtiy, and has nothing
for thorn but words, empty, and to
them, meaningless words, that bo had
confidence in tho people; while they
were dost roving t he constitution which
they admit,) and murdering liberty,
defrauding civilization, and robbing
Christianity of its beauties and benefits,
disorganizing and terrorizing society,
and bringing upon tho people a condi
tion of (diaos. Those things were and
are all true. But what good have they
effected, so far as the despoilers and
traitors are concerned Actually noth
ing at all. One shot into the flock of
popinjays and pretenders from a good
old fashi'iiied gun, or a service of a few
das in the guard house would havo ac
complished much more.
Some of the men who make our laws,
anil tax .whisky at 52 per gallon, are
photographed ly a correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, writing
from Washington, January 17, lSOS :
"One gentleman, nho wa cn exem
plary member of the Congressional
Temperance Society, a year ago, as
tonished and appalled tho boarders at
Willard's ono morning last week, by
entering the breakfast-room in his
night-shirt at about 10 a. m."
"Another was taken home in a hand
cart, not many Sund. 13 s since.'
The next, a distingnishe 1 Senator
from the West, is thus copied -
'SUil another, over whose conversion
ai! the ladies were, a year ago, satura
ting their pockethaudkerchiefs, arid
'carry ing on" has been, for a week or
more, confined to his room and a diet
of pickled cabbage to help him over a
prolonged carouse, terminating in the
deliriums.
Worse and more of it
"A particular case ( I repeat ttiat I
Use no names) has become so serious
1 of late that an eminent bishop of the
Methodist chur h has been sent for,
and has coma all the way from Phila
delphia to see what can be done in the
way of reforming the eminent sinner.''
Such is radicalism. The Senator al
luded to is supposed t: be Chanhi.fii.
ITe was drunk fifteen consecutive
days, and as many nigh's, on the late
railroad expedition to the rocy moun-
Memhor.s of the legislature wecm to
think that a good part, of their duty
consists in denouncing the press. We
are quite willing. If they can make
anything at that game, wc say let them
ventilate themselves f their heart's
content, only they ought to put up
their worst man for the dirty work,
which they generally do, as in the case
of old Monks. Let such scamps as
Monks in. They havo boiler enough
to run a small machine fr a short
time, and if carefully heated with whis
ky and lubricated with brandy, the lit
tle contemptible popinjavs mnv hold
out for five minutes. Xot longer. Tiieir
ideas are much like roads iu the prai
rie : they do not run far until they
fork. Monks has been so used to those
roads, in hunting horses, that he might
hold np, under a full head of whisky,
fully five minutes. In a history of
his murders and stealings at the south
west, he might go half an hour without
winding np, or taking a new drink.
t'apt. Towxsi.f.y, who saj-s he repre
sents this senatorial district, was tiring
his popgun at the Republican, with a
view perhaps of upturning that little
concern. The ant might overturn the
Andes, but had not, at latest advices.
The centralization of power in this
country, may bo we'd enough read by
the action of the Senate, a few days
ago. Step by step are the robbers
moving on :
"Mr. Wilson, under a suspension of
the rules, j-eas 113, na-s 3i (a heavy
vote), reported on Monday from the
committee on the Judiciary, the Sen
ate bill making five judges a quorum
of the supreme court, with an amend
ment declaring that no act of Congress
shall be declared unconstitutional, ex
cept by a concurrence of two-thirds of
the mem tiers ot tho court. A hvc
hours' debate followed on this bill, in
which democrats actively participated.

was stated, a majority of the court

by a strict party vote, and goes back to
the benate tor confirmation.
Whenever a newspaper is so hard
rnn as to insult its readers by publish
ing such notices as Dr. Mott of New
York electrifies tho public with, and
this with black lines around it, one of
two things is true : cither the paper is
on its last legs, or -it cares but littlo for
its readers' or its own morals.
