The speech Of Mr.. Barton of Missouri,
from which we have extracted largely, is
as unique in conception and style as any
we have ever seen. 1t is well seasoned too
with humor and pungent satire.
A report is in circulation that Col. Ben
ton killed brother ofmr. Barton in duel,
and that on this account his colleague en-
tertains towards him tho deepest hostility.
This report is incorrect; and from the repu-
tation which mr.. Barton sustains in his own
state for sterling integrity and patriotism,
we should say that the probable cause Of
this hostility is the knowledge which mr..
Barton has of the true character and de-
signs of Col. Benton. He evidently re-
CARDS him as demagogue and an instiga-
tor Of disunion, and in this light with IN
honest Indignation denounces him as one
Of the "Catalnes" Of the day.
