cheering counenance of the &" opposition'' (so
called by MIR. b. sounded more like the notes of
instruction and revolt in the West, than like Sc
material Legislation, upon our common interests in
times OF profound and happy peace" Now, let
Us hear the other side.-The St. Louis Enquirer
pronounces Mr.. David Barton's published speech
TO be " mere imposition on the public;'' that
" no such speech was delivered in the Sc
nate;"- and the " Enquirer" adds the following

Mr.. Ninian Edwards Candidate for the Chair of
Illinois, &c. Sc has replied to the Interrogat Dries
propounded TO him, in his usual style. As to the
