From the ST, Louis Bulletin,

0.5-On the 4th of March, 1880, John NJ. Clayton,
of Delaware, one of the most eloquent sons of that
State thus expressed himself in the United States
Senate, in his speech on Mr.. Foot's resolution. Who
does not see in reading the eloquent close of the
paragraph, that the noble prophecy, which fell like
inspiration from his lips, is already about to be
fulfilled.
Take another case, and inform US why the gal
liant Harrison. the hero of Fort Meigs, the victor
at Tippecanoe and the Thames--a veteran in coun-
Gil, as well as in the d-distingushed for his
virtues IN all the relations of the citizen, the SOL
der, aud the statesman; why, ask was he pro-
Scrbed as unfit to represent his country abroad and
withdrawn from Columbia, to make room for Thos.
T. Moore! He had scarcely arrived at Bogota-
the ink was still fresh on the Executive record
which informed the President that it was the ad-
vice OF the Senate that he should represent there,
when the order for his removal was announced
This could not have been done for any official mis-
conduct. There had been no time to inquire into
that. Was his fidelity dlstrusted then! Or how
did the public good require his dismissal! Think
you it will tell well in the annals Of history that he
who had so often peried lie and limb, in the vigor
OF manhood, to the blessings Of liberty 20
others, was punished for the exercise Of the elect
i've franchise in his old age! Sir, it was an act,
disguise it as we may, which, by holding out the
idea that he had lost the confidence of his country,
might tend to bring down his grey hairs with sor-
row to the grave. But the glory he acquired by
the campaign on the Wabash, and by those hard
earned victories for which he received the warmest
Acknowledgements of merit from the Legislature of
Kentucky, and the full measure of a Nations
thanks in the resolutions of Congress, can never
be effected; and any effort to degrade their honored
object will recoil on those who make it, unit other
men, in better days, shall properly estimate his
worth, and again cheer his declining years with
proofs Of his country's confidence and gratitude.

A CANDIDATE CORNERED.

The following articles explain themselves Doc
tor Curd, of Fulton, and W. Collins and his asso-
ciates in Boonvile are known in all this quarter,
and no man will dispute their statements. The
Judge holds himself together as badly in his can
vass abroad as he did at home. The truth is the
dignity Of the office of Governor is beyond the
conceptions of Thomas Reynolds, and bewilders a
mind which is clear enough in reference to such
things as the Judge has been used to. Nick
Bidde, President of the u S. Bank nor! 1t is as
bad the eco who offered to bet few days since
that General Jackson was yet President and q
candidate against General Harrison Taking both
sides of the Currency Bill is no new thing with the
Judge.
From the BoonrRs Observer, June IL.
Noticing some weeks ago, speech delivered
by Judge Reynolds at this place, we stated that he
said that the currency bill introduced into the las,
Legislature was not measure Of the Democratic
party. Since that, he has been represented advo-
eating the measure at other places, and conse.
quently the Wing journals have charged him very
justly with being inconsistent. Perceiving the ef-
feet which this Is likely to have in the gubernatoral
election, the Locos endeavoring to make the
impression that the Judge has been misrepre-
sented-that he has never, at any time, opposed
the measure, that the charge of his having done so
is false, and they defy any one to produce the
proof.
Since our silence under these circumstances,
might perhaps be miscOnstrued into an acknowl-
edgment that we had misrepresened Judge Rey-
nolds, we have thought proper to repeat what we
SAID before, and to produce the proof to support
it.
When our statement was published here, why
was 1t not denied at the time by the Register or BY
some Of "the party" who heard the speech Be-
cause the Editor of the Register knew the state
ment we made was true-thev all knew il TO be
true--no one pretended to deny it, Hundreds
spoke OF it, and all agreed that the statement we
made was correct This without any thing more,
is abundant proof that what we said was true but
tor further proof we authorized to refer those
who may entertain any doubts in regard to tie
truth of our statement, to JaTes L. Collins, Ed
ward Gray. K. s. Lcveridge, g. w. Harvey, &c.
&c. &c gentlemen whose characters are known,
abroad as well as at home, to be unimpeachabc.
From the FGltoa Rctormer Of Saturday.
Notice was taken in the last number of the
Fulton Reormer" Of Judge Reynolds address at
this place, in which it is said that the Judge spoke
of Nicholas Bddle as being then the President Of
the United States Bank Of Pennsylvania. This has
been denied here by some of his devotecs. | reit-

FIRST GUN FROM ROCHEPoRT.
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR.

The people Of Missouri are here by the thou
sand-the old and the young, and the greatest
enthusiasm prevails. Never, in the whole course
OF my life, did l witness more imposing, a
more gratifying more heartthrilling scene
than the one have beheld this day. The town
of Rochport, as you are we'll aware, pleasantly
situated on the Missouri. In the rear OF the
town, is an elevation Of ground, with beautiful
grove Here the Convention have assembled.
A more appropriate, convenient and delightful
spot could not be found.
At l2 o'clock the different delegations were
formed in line Of march on the river bank in the
order as published in the Times Of last week.
After they arrived on the spot, and the direct
ions from the Marshal had been given for the
future movements, &C., the hour for dinner
having arrived, the Convention took recess for
two hours. At the proper hour, the Convention
assembled, organized, &c. The president
then announced the order and manner of discuss
ion as follows: Each speaker to conGne his re-
marks TO one hour and half-a Wing was to
open the discussion and to be followed by any
Loco Foco, Or any opposer of Harrison, and al
ternately Wings & Loco Focos to the conclusion
of the Convention. Whereupon Col. Jas. II.
Birch, Chairman OF the Central Committee, arose
and addressed the assembled multitude the allot!
ted time, in one Of tho most impressive, eloquent
and able speeches ever made in Missouri. lie
touched upon the several great topics of the pres
ent political canvass, and handled them in a
style every way worthy Of the man and the &C.
casion. At the conclusion Of Col. B.. the Pres
ident announced that the stand was then free for
any friend OF the Administration, and that fifteen
minutes would be allowed for any TO come Tor
ward. But 10! no Lion of Democracy appeared,
no one DARED show his head in the stand; and |
verify believe, had the noted Tom Benton him.
self been present, he would have shrunk on this
occasion. The fifteen minutes having expired,
and no Federal Loco daring to show himself,
Judge ROBINSON, formerly Of Kentucky, was
called to the stand; and if there is any truth in
historical sketches, Or descriptions, we had in
Judge R. second John Randolph Never did
hear more eccentric, and at the same time,
true and fair exposition Of the abuses OF this or
any other government, than this speaker gave US.
At the time Of wiring this he is still speaking.
1t is impossible for me to give you any idea Of
the number present on this occasion. Some say
ten, others six thousand. would say that there
were nearer five thousand than any thing else.
As the Messenger is waiting at my side, and
the speeches commiugled with the llequent shouts
of reclamation from the crowd, is piercing me,
l cannot give you even concise account of the
proceedings thus far. 1t is sufficient to say that
the Rocheport Convention has more than equaled
the expectations of the most sanguinc.
Yours, &c.

A gentleman from the adjoining county Of Cha
rton, was here on Saturday last, for the purpose
of transacting business at our Democratic Bank
tho regulations of which are to be "cpen from
9 to O'clock" To his surprise he found not only
the Clerk, but the Cashier absent at horse racel
On enquiring if that was the manner in which
public officers attended 10 their duties in Fayette,
he was informed that not only were the officers Of
the Bank absent, but that the race was between
the clerk Of that institution and the Postmaster
Is it for such men, and to encourage them in
