Douglas Prospects Seen Skeptically By St Louis Democrats
The St Louis Democrat mocks Douglas as doomed for 1860, arguing his fleeting support rests on Free Soil shifts and opposition to the Administration. It says Bright and party leaders will block his northern drift, and that public sentiment sides with freedom’s cause as 1860 approaches. It notes Atlantic and Irish affairs, Mexico expedition moves, and domestic columns.

County Supervisors Adjourn After Ten Day Session
The County Board of Supervisors adjourned after a ten day session with talks of economy and disputes over county printing pay set at ninety five dollars. The District Attorney salary was fixed at forty dollars yearly, and Twombly’s one hundred dollar bill was cut to twenty, while Dawson’s sixty dollar claim was rejected.
