gislalure next wintei, on the election of u. S.
Senator. No Jackson man in that city will
take up the bet, though their prints there con-
tinue 10 reiera,e the story that Mr.. Clay has

Possibly some of our jackson friends here may
like TO risk that sum. II SO. they Gun proba-

fp.diaAa.- political complexion Of the
neit Legislature OF Indiana is decidedly favor
able 10 Mr.. Clay. In the last Legislature, the
Jackson party had small ina jorilv. The

IRON Is To 90.
iiss0uri.-We have no later accounts from
Missouri than were contained in our last paner.
The ST. Louis Republican oil the 18th ult is
firmly of opinion ,hat Nr. Barton will be re-
elected to the L. s. Senate. II ~ill be a sig nj
triumph ifhe shall aucceed, against svste'

We ask the attention of the public to the
following extract from the Missouri Republican,
Why does not Gen Jackson act up TO that spe.
ces of Reform" which he said in his inaugu.
raj speech was so plainly inscribed upon the
banners of his party, which declared that the

"Our neghbor ofthe Beacon lately proclaim
ed that Mr.. Bal tons de feat WAS as certain as
any future event. Now, were it not that no
prophet is honored in his own land, we would
reverse the prophecy, and say, that nothing
short ola miracle can prevent his success. We
know that The faction is still trying all its arts,
and that no effort will be left uninterrupted to
drag him down. The most ruthless calumnes
are propagated in the teeth OF truth. and in
defiance of frequent refulalien, aud no sooner
is one monster OF falseheod crushed, than 9TH

electors are appealed To through their basesi
passions aud most sordd motives. They are
given to understand that the geoeral admins.

zen. Green, too,u is reported, has declared
that barton's reelection would iniure him 10
the amount OF $4,000 1t may be so and
