THE REPUBLICAN 
TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 23. 
Col. Stewart and Maj. Rollins are on the 
stump together. They started out yesterday, at 
California, in Moniteau t county, and they have 
made appointments for a month to come. They 
go into the Southwest, and there, we learn, the 
Democracy, eschewing all former divisions about 
men, have resolved to vote for Stewart. Green 
county is the* only county about which there is 
any doubt in this respect, and there it is rather 
the hope of the leading Know Nothings against 
hope, than any well founded expectation of suc- 
cess in keeping up the division of the Democrats 
upon personal and immaterial issues. This the 
election will show. 
Blair, Brown, Branch, T. L. Price, the 
chief of the “ Border Ruffians,” as he called 
himself when he made his inroad into the Cin- 
cinnati Convention, at the head of the Benton 
Delegation from Missouri, armed with bludgeons 
and pistols— the same set of men who met at 
Jefferson City and nominated Benton for Gover- 
nor, knowing that he would be beaten out of 
sight ; the same set of men who, at Cincinnati, 
cozened him into the folly of running for Gover- 
nor, and then entrapped him into the still greater 
folly of performing a “forty days’ campaign” 
m midsummer, and yet could only give him some 
twenty-seven thousand votes— these same men 
have tacked themselves to Rollins’ coat-tail, 
and will perform for him the same office that 
they performed for- Col. Benton. They betray- 
ed Benton that they might carry the county of St

At the recenfcelebration at Bunker Hill, upon

of Gen. War™, the first distinguished victim 
of the Revolutionary War, the excitement was

peated, enthuslstic and prolonged. The statue 
is seven feet him, composed of the purest Italian 
marble, and raised upon a pedestal of verde 
antique from Jj Vermont quarry, the entire dis- 
tance from thelround to the crown of the figure 
being eleven fife. The statue was cut from a 
block of marfofe originally weighing seven tons. 
Its weight, a|M passing through the artistic 
process of thfeculptor, was but two tons. It 
represents W#REN in citizen’s dress, having a 
sword in his rj^ht hand, and his left hand open, 
as if in the # of earnest expostulation. His

St. Joseph, June 18, 1857 
South St. Joseph has been equally divided be- 
tween Col’s D. D. Mitchell, Rorert M. Ren- 
ick, and A, M. Mitchell, and on Saturday last 
the great sale of lots took place on the premi- 
ses. It was conducted by Messrs. Dolman & 
West, and Capt. M. Jeff. Thompson, and 
was the most spirited and indicative sale of the 
season. It gave evidence of the great advance- 
ment in the value of real estate within the past 
year, and demonstrated its future appreciation 
fcjy both denizens and strangers. It showed that 
St. Joseph has grown at a most rapid rate, 
yet that she is just starting in her cares* of great- 
ness. The average price at this sale was just 
three times what it was at the sale a year ago, 
showing an advance of 300 per cent., and the bid- 
ding was so eager, and the city is spreading sc 
rapidly in that direction that I venture to predict 
an advance upon the present prices of 300 per 
cent, in another year. What better investments 
can there be than these? No where else can 
money be expended with the same certainty of 
large profits. 
The enhancement in St. Joseph property is 
general. It has advanced more than one hun- 
dred per cent, per annum in every part of, and 
addition to the city ; and it is moving on upward 
with a substantial and steady progression which 
must continue for many years. So long as stran-
