 Politics of .Missourt.-In the last Fay cite Monitor, we observe an article upon the political complexion of the next Legis- lature. Ne are very far from believing, that the negt Assembly aItho' composed no- minally Of majority of Jackson men, will do any thing towards sustaining the present Administration. Indeed, We shall not be surprised to hear of the passage of resolutions, eondemning the measures and conduct of the Executive of the U. States, fer the last twelve months; and urging the passage of acts deemed essential to our prosperity, but to which the President is avowedly hostile. Martin Van Buren can get no nomination from the Missouri Ie- gislature, whatever the office-holders may doto sustain him. That point, at least, is settled. Neither will they be able, as here- tofore, to parcel out the offices among giving to this one the Sena- torshiP; to those, the places of Represen- tatves in Congress; and vacant Judgsbips to others. The Senator who succeeds Mir. Buckner must pledge himself to act inde pendently, and to oppose several of the most prominent measures 0. the Adminis-' tration, and n especial that one which de- clares Van Barren the .tiegitimate success sor" to the Presidency. The ofiiee-hel- ders and collar men,are aware of this be- ing the real state of things, and unless driv- en to it viii not announce their predilecton for any particular individual among the half dozen candidates of their party.- They mean te keep dark, and to leave eve " thing to chance. bargain and manage ment, when the Legislature meets.
 Hl'nois.--0ficial returns of the recent Election gre at last published. For Go vernbr, Joseph Duncan received 176O3 votes; Kinney l0236 votes: Mclaughlin, 442S; and James Adams near l000.-- Duncan, 1t will be observed, has more votes than all the other candidates. Kinney was the candidate of the office-holders, and was supported almost exclusively upon the ground of his Jacksonism.

ef the last Legislature, does not appear to have been d general one many of the counties not voting at all, and others not re- turning the votes when given. As far as heard from. Yandalia has 5363 votes; AL ton 5232; Springfield 5l73. It is proba- ble, that when all the returns are received YandaIia will be little ahead.
 .4ll .aback--We find the following no- tiee ef very important decision made by the Supreme Court of this State, Tn the last No. of the Salt River Journal. The decision places the individuals who were divorced at the last session of the Legisla- ture, and some of them have been since married to other persons, in a most unpleas- ant predicament. 1t has always been the opinion, we believe, of our best lawyers, that the Legislature have no authority to pass jaws of. the nature of those in ques- ton: and we see no good reason to suppose that the Supreme Court, even after a re- hearing of the arguments of counsel, will change their decision in this particular case. Ii follows, of course that all Digorces under acts of the Legislature, are null and void.
 Important Deeisioa.-I the case of the state of Missouri, for the use of David Gentry and wife, against Jacob Fry aud others, the Hon. NJ. Mkrk delivered the opinion of the court. The case was flns i; Gentry and his wife were divorced by an act of the last legislature Tn the same act, in which thirty-six other persons were also divorced. Gentry sued Fry as the guardi- an of his wife, after the passage of the act, and Fry plead the act tn bar of Gentry's right to recover, the question: involved was the .constitutopailty ot, that act. The opinion of the court declaring the act un- constitutional and void, was delivered at great length. A ffter the opinion had been read the counsel for the defendants. being dissatisfied with the opinion, prayed for a re- hearing of the cause which the court, ffofa the great importance to the public of the question involved in the decision, grant ed, and set the cause for argument at the Inext April term of the court.
 1 From this intimation of the court, of the lieht in which they now view this question, I would il not be well for the next legislature to refrain at their next session from passing acts of this character, unal the question shall have keen iudiciaily determined. Ii those acts shall finally be held to be uncon- stitutional, the effect of the number ofsaeh acts pa ssed by The legislature of this state
 must be disadyantageously felt in the ceIn- munity.

Capt. sHREEvr. (of snag memory, has advertised, in the Louisville papers, for 800 laborers, to be employed on the Raft of Red river, from the first week in October, until the 25th of next May. SIS per month will be given, payable at the end of the term. Tn Jactsop Gold. Ne would here give the laborers timely hint, to keep a sharp eye to the eouatesfeii "yellow boys" when their wages is paid them. i pbysi- clan, supplied with medicines, will attend them free of cost. Ne hope that Mir. Shreeye will be more successful in his ex- periments on Red river, than he has been on the Arkansas. His experiment on the latter river, io the tune of S30,000, was al- most as costly, and, if possible, of less ser wee, than Gen. Jaeksoa's late experiment upon the currency.

 A letter from Ohio says;-T There will be five or six changes III our congressional representation in favor of the nhlps: so that. in the next Congress, Ohio wil stand about thirteen Wings, and six Van Buren. The legislature of the state will also be Anti-Van. In Ohio, the experiment works well, politically though the people are paying dearly for their own regeneration.

MICHIGAN.


 The neglect of the application of Mich igan to be admitted into the Union, a. a State, at the late session Of Congress, has dissatisfied the people there. They seem earnestly fixed on becoming state at the earliest day. For this object, they have ta- ken measures for ascertaining how far they are entitled to claim the benefit of the or dinance, and set up for themselves. 4 proclamation has been issued Dy the acting governor, for aR extra session of the Legis- lative Council, to be held on the lst of Sep tember. The principle purpose Is, so their papers inform Us, to cause census of the population to be taken, and if 1t exceeds 60,0Q0, to exercise thelr right under the U. 5. constitution of framing a constitution fer themselves, elec4ing Senators and Re- presentatiyes, and demanding admission as a right. If refused admission, according 10 the doctrines maintained on the Missou- II question, they will be a sovereign State though not in the Umon.
 Another purpose for which the session IS convoked is to take measures fer extending jurisdiction over inc Dubuque mines. a part of the country west of the Mississippi, whose irregular political condition has been'frequenty noticed Bait. a,nertcaIl.

BAYLIEs and HEBsTER.-We noticed in the Daily Advertiser of Thursday, the ali nexed extract from an oration delivered at Taunton, July I, 1884, by the Hon. FRtN- CTS BAYLIEs, and we are obliged to the edi- tor for the opportunity he has gwen Us of publishing the passage.-Bos. Cour.
 On the deck of the ship of state. there is one ma's-a veteran mariner, innred 4o storms end tempests, the breakers are around-the shore is on the lee--tbe waves are rising on the watery waste, ike the py- ranfsds on the waste of the desert sands - the thunder and the winds gre roaring iii concert, each rising over each, in mastery of sound .--ia these moments of appallinr peril, when the officers are skuIkinr. he seizes the helm: the ship shoots through the spray, and the foam. and ihe spindritt, and soon finds safety and sea-roem.
 Amidst the din and wild uproar of dis cordant passions, the voice of one man is heard like the clang Of the trumpet4--a voice that Is not only heard, but felt In the deepest fountains of his heart, the po- ltleal sinner feels il. Like electricity, it touches the living wickedness--the nest of serpents which are breeding there, and they die.
 Yes, there is one man, who can trace the exact hne between factIousness and hbety-between constitutional power and Incipient usnrpation, and can sustain, with giants strength, the just authority of the government, and the rights of the people.
 If contending factions should undermine the temple of liberty when it falls, one man will be found waving the banner of the Constitution over the ruins, and like the last of the Romans, the name of Daniel Webster will be left for the veneration of unborn nations. And what a name In far distant lands have heard it. In lands, upon which the star of the North has never shone-under the clouds of Magellan, un- der the cross of the South, that name, like the name of Washington, came like san- beam into the darkness.

1 The Cholera has been bad in Powers and Austin's Colonies, Texas. It was brought there by the passengers of the schooner New Packet, which sailed from this place about the middle of May last, t,they havngiton board, and permitted to land at the Copino, (Aransas.) Ii spread through the country and entered the town of Labude, which contained almost 250 or 275 inhabitants, and in three days there were l45 cases, 40 proved fatal. MT. Coban, the collector, fell victim, and also two American phy- sicians that resided there, names not recoi- lected. It appeared in the town of War low the first part of July, and it was said that nearly half of the inhabitants died of a large number of Manche Indians there, not one escaped. The people fled from their houses to the bushes and prairies.- About the 10th of July, Mir. Dileyon and son died near the Lavacca.
 Papers from Brazoria, rceived by the Empress, with dates up 10 the 26th July, reports the country generally healthy. From this circumstance, 1t Is presumed the extent of the disease was limited to the immediate vicinity oi the iavacca river.

WHAT A STRUGGLE 1T wAs.-An aged
lady gave us, not many days since, the
following account:-Some forty years II
go, or more, she was acquainted with a
man, respectable, talented, who had con-
tracted habits of Intemperance. Sensi-
BILE of the ruin which was coming upon
him, and the disgrace he was incurrng,
again and again he resolved TO break his
letters, and escape from captivity and
from the enemy who had enslaved him -
For weeks, and sometimes for months,
would he adhere firmly to his resolution,
and then in some evil hour, he would re-
lapse into his old habit and drink to ex-
cess. Harassed by conscience, and tor
mentcd by reflection of the past and an
ticipaion of the future, he was miserable
and unhappy. One day, while walking
in the street, the sense Of his condition
became so insupportable, that he fell on
his knees, even where he was in the
public highway, and with voice of ago
ny cried to God his Maker, to give him
strength to overcome his enemy, and to
abide firm and unmoved in the resolution
he hen renewed, not to taste, or touch,
or handle ardent spirit till the day of his
death. He lived to good old age, and
died sober, respectable man.
Total abstinence will save the drunk,
ard, and nothing else will.
