JUDGE SHATTUcK is pleasing orator, as
well as 2 sound. honest politician. He has
evidently, previous 10 bis elecsioneering
campaign, studied with indefatigable appli-
cation thereto, many unanswerabIe argu-
ments which he fearlessly holds forth to the
people; or when an answer is attempted, as
far as we have heard, itrenders their foun-
dation the more. Solid His arguments are
based upon honor, virtue and integrity, and
as they are produced, the upright form and
manly. voice Of the speaker al once proclaim
to.his auditory they emanate from pure,
honest, patriotic mind!'
Attic commencement Of his address, he
-lspoke in high terms Of his competitor, Iftgts
man ". Tucker, and lamented his inability
Of being present to take part in. the Discus
sion Of the day. The first argumentatiye
point embraced was, relative to the banking
system. In this, Judge Shattuck thought
J the people of Mississippi, by making the pa
per of adjacent States't hefr medium currency,
had been led into gross error, submitting
I TO pay a certain per centage on the doubted
! paper Of Louisiana, Alabama. Tennessee,
&c, when currency. could have been pre-.
