| The reader who has perused the preceding
extracts, taken, almost at random, from the
speeches Of the distinguished Senator from South
Carolina, will perceive their UNMARRIED tenor to be
that OF hostility TO the measures Of the late Ad
ministration, and to the principles Of the party by
which those measures were sustained; in other
words, 10 the New York school of politics. and
to Mr. Van Buren,, more even than to those mea.
sures and principles with which Mr.. c. identifies
him, Mr.. Calhoun was Of opinion, in BRIEF tina
the whole power of the Government was convert.
ed into political electioneerng machine; that
President Jacks N had been made drunk with
flatery and vanity, so as not TO understand the
motives Of his own measures; that he was Il mere
instrument in the hands OF cunning and cornpt
politicians, (meaning Mr.. Van Buren, all the
whilc;) that the principles Of the Spells party,
which originated in the State Of New York, (stll
meaning Mr. Van BUREN, had gained the ascon
dant in the Union; that the system Of this party
was base and low.ninded system, gradually
communicating the whole community; that can
individual, here and there, who preferred himself
10 his country, might be enlisted, lin the support
Of Mr.. Van Burens administration but the
great mass, all that were Independent and sound
in the South, would be finally opposed to him
and his system
Freemen Of Miss ouri! On Monday, two weeks,
the worst we can wish you TO do with Martin Van
Buren, and John Z. Calhoun, is to try them upon
their o1cn teStimOny-thc one against the other
and rice rerSa. II the old Jackson party sus.
tain such "coaIition,' thus prouen disgusting
and loalhsome, let US hear no more Of the one
which was, alleged, but never established, be.
tween Henry Clay and John Q. Adams II
they sustain such a coalition, thus revolving Ia
every moral sense and every upright political i'm
pulsion, let their lips and the lips Of their travel
ling priest, be closed in shame, Instead of resort
ing to similar accusations, acitboM proof as their
man--indeed, their disturbance to impede or
divert the resstIess tendency amongst honest men,
Of all previous parties, to array themselves, at
last, on the side Of a tried PATRIOT, who is, at
least, for THE COUNTRY, instead Of tried and
condemned triunvirate Of personal pARr1sAas,
who are FOR THEMSELVES.

The office holders charge Gen. Harrison with
being Federalist and in order TO substan,iate
the charge, assert that he held Office under the
administration Of Mr.. Adams. Now, to say no
thing of his having held office under the immor
tai Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, and Mad
son, and to take the gentlemen on their owr
ground, we would advise them, inasmuch as it i:

DISTRICTING THE STATE.

DIS lhlCIlNI I1E STATE.
In the Boon's Lick Democrat of the 18th ultirno,
will be found u communication over the signature
of Agricola," calling the attention Of the people
to the subject of dividing the State into Congress
sonal districts. Since there will be an apportion-
ment Of our Congressional Representation before
the next general election, our ensuing Legislature
will undoubtedly Ge called upon to act in reference
TO the choosing Of the Missouri deleratiun Look
ing upon the subject as one Of importance and
beng decidedly in favor Of dstricing the State,
| was gratied to see the attention Of the people
called to its proprety, through the columns Of Il
Democratic journal, inasmuch as the mere fac; Of
its being first proposed in a Wing newspaper,
might doom the system and all its advantages To an
unceremonous rejection. Whilst l am gratiGed,
however that " Agricola' has preached the sub
ject and whilst | agree with him in the general
proposition to District the State, at the same
time, entirely and totally disagree with him in re-
gard to the propriety Of "presorVing the general
| ticket system" | consider that system, Col
Benton did IN 1921, a system of lyronDy--a sys.

" By this division of the State into districts, the
people of such district ought to select their repre-
septatiyes therefrom, and thereby our representa-
tyes would be scattered over the different parts Of
the state, which would be carrying out the princi
pie Of representation, and carry equity on its face
To all this we accord our humble sanction be

fording each section Of the State the privilege OF

IL The following card we insert a! the re-
quest of Col. Russel-the Democrat, in which
the communication was published to which this
is reply, having refused to give it place:
TO THE PUBLIC.
In the Missouri Argus Of the 19h Septem.
Der charge Of cowagdce was made against me
over the signature of "Aomo." The charge was
unprovoked, reckless and assassjn-Iike. felt
it duty to myself, my family and my friends, to
endeavor to ascertain the source from which il
omanated. | therefore addressed Gard, with
some explanations appended to the editor Of the
Argus upon the subject, as well as to the Editors
Of the St. Louis New Era, the Bulletin, and the
Columbia Patriot; but the editor Of the Argus
had the .fnesse to suppress the dcnunciatory card
against Homo, and gave publicity only to the
explanations. | denounced the anonymous vii
lain in tie following terms
81 dcnounce the monster, whoever he may be,
that signed himself "R0mo," as heartIess rob.
Der of private character-a cruel, coward.y, base
assassin, that will stab only in the dark If,
however, he will unveil himself, and show a cha.
ractar entitled 10 the mere courteSies of decent
men, and will accuse me Of doing him injustice,
| will then so far qualify my contempt for his as
sasSin,like attack upon me, as to afford to him,
and to the world, an opportunity of deciding to
whom the charge OF cowardice belongs"
Notwithstanding this denunciation, and my ex.
plicit call upon him to unveil himself, he still
hides himself behind the assassin and the cow
AIDS shield, by rciteration Of his abuse, his
.4lsehood, and his base SANDER, in the Boon's
Lick Democrat Of the 7th inst. In it he tells
me that he will obey call 10 come out with his
name. But what assurance have to believe him!
have once called upon him explicitly to give
up his name, hoaPed upon him degrading cpithcts
and ted him that if | had done him injustice by
applying such language to him, would, if he
proved to be decent man, give him an oPPortu.
nifty Of obtaining redress for his grievance. By
his second trade Of alsehoods, he attempts vim,
dcat.on Of his former, and, by the very position
he assumes, admits that my language was misap.
piled, yet cowardly tests under my denunciation.
! have no disposition to trouble the public with
private quarrel, into which the maIignty o.
"Homo'S' base heart has forced me. Agains
him, repeat my former denuncjation. And i
he do not turn on. to be the ruthless villain tha
his fendish conduct towards me induces me to be
ieve him, again tell him definitely, that hole
myself in readiness to respond to any call tina
he may make upon me, demanding satisfaction
Tor my distinct use towards him of the epithets
liar, cOpard, Uillam, aud assassin.

generally hated, by the Loco Focos, than this ia,
Tented and high minded gentleman. His poti.
cal enemies, loiled in their attempt to blast his
character in a moral point, have let loose their
whole battery upon his political principles, Com,
PEELED to acknowledge his brilliant talents his
great fund OF political information, they now at,
tempt to destroy his influence by accusing him Of
debating to the whole Wing party, and Of being
the prime mover Of every political act or mea.
sure the Wings in this State, especially in the
Boon's Lick country, undertake or propose.
Why, the Locos, in the western part Of the state
accuse him Of writing every editorial in the Wing
papers, Of every speech that is made, and it is a
fact, that they accused him of writing J. Speed
Smiths Letter, which appeared last sumner, in
answer to Mr., Corwn Of Ohio. This, too, by
