ANTLGRANT MOVEMENT IN MIS- ^

The Liberal, anti-Grant Republicans f?
pf Missouri, after adopting a platform ()f
of ^principles at the late convention held Ln
at Jefferson City, voted unanimously I a

their wing of Uie-party, to meet inlm
Cincinnati, on Mondaj', the Cth Mayjni
next; one month beTore the meeting of; tli
the regular Convention in Philadelphia, on
l'u their platform of principles, they
announce their adherence to the vital
elements* of true Republicanism?the (j<
sovereignty of the-Union, emancipation,! ss
and equality of civil rights,?and de-jag
jnrnjd with equal suffrage for all, com-1 '
plete amnesty for all. They denounce pn
all forms of taxation which impose need- tie
Jess burdens upon the people, and hence I rer
demand a genuine reform -of the tariJl" thi
which shall remove those duties which tin
merely Increase .theprice of domestic ]
products., for the benefit of fcvorcd in- uu
teraata. They denounce also ilwj shame- ^or
less abuse of the Governmeni patronage scj
fur (the control of con ventions and elec- mj
44ons, wilhall it? attendant corruption ]
and demoralization, and urge a thor- t]u,

"That true Republicanism makes .
J.t not the less our duty to expose cor- so1

This early move in Missouri, seems to i an
liave a two-fold object in view?first to | to
call out and develop the strength of the m<
anti-Grant "faction, and second to determine
the actjon of the Democratic pow- ,
er. The tiofcid and vacillating brethren
of the party must not be allowed to ru
await the action of the Philadelphia i j,f
Convention but must be forced to define (
their position, and take their stand in ^
advance of the meeting of that Conven- c3>
tlon ; and thus under the lead of Sum- Q,
iier, Trumbull, Schurz, Feuton and j ^
Greeley, an anti-Grant movement be rjA
Inaugurated which shall either defeat i {
hia noipjnation at Philadelphia, or with j tja
the aid of the Democratic party, insure
dfifaat In the coming election. An if,
early movement like that proposed seems
also necessary to determine the course of
tiiQ Democratic party. What that party '
demands is that the Liberal Kepubli-L
cans show their hands. If the J ?
movement shall be attended with a sub-;.
etantial defection in the Republican j utJ
ranks, and a promise of ulterior success,:an
then the nominations of the Cincinnati!
(convention will likely be adopted by the 1C!
Democrats, and a coalition be made for 1
the coming campaign. Should these!1"
however prove delusive and the move-;"'
ment at Cincinnati end in smoke, then
we may expect the Democracy to make
as of old an independent nomination,

monthly at Augusta, Ga., for the lovvjfl.,

Tor twelve months the paper was published
at Fornandina, Fla., in the ofllce
of tho "Island City," then conducted by \v

End of the Wharton Trial
The trial of Mrs. Wharton of P>almorc,
for poisoning General lveteh- ^
in, after occupying eight long weary 1
'celis, has at last resulted in a ver-J.
ict of acquittal. And such seems I
3 have been a righteous verdict, the "
It
asty suspicions and ' cnulo analysistfl
f medical experts, upon which the (
rospcution rested, being proved cnirely
groundless. The prisoner was 1
bly defended by Messrs. Steele.
'homasand Hagucr, of the Baltimore n
5ar. j
From its commcncomcnt to its close
ic trial of the case has boon conduct- j'
J with marked ability, equallj* in the L
lattct of evidcnco and argument. s
e
he State has been represented by j
ttorney-fieneral Syestcr and State's
.ttorncy Itevell, who stand at the c
ead of the profession as able and s
iilful attorneys; whilo the prisoner j.
as defended by gentlemen who have 1;
>w superiors at the bar. The court
as composed of Judge Miilcr, of the j l
ourt of Appeals of the Slate, and j
liief justice of this district, assisted _
y Judges Ilayden and Hainniond, ^
lrcc as able jurists as sit upon the r
ench of the State. In every respect J
ic trial has been impartial and ably c
Dnducto.d. 1

There was no cliargo to tlio jury by j
le court, the constitution of' Mary- c
I 1

i mi rial eases the jury shall bo judges c
E* the law as well as the facts. r

ood between the court and counsel *
tat the trial of Mrs. Wharton on the s
cliclment for the attempt to poison c
r. Van Ness would come off at the fj
gular term of the court in April. p
During the trial sixty-six witnesses ?
