MISSOURI ELOQUENCE.

A member of the Missouri legislature, du-
ring its late session, opened his month spon-
taneously and spake after this wise:
Mr. Speaker: rise to make few obser-
vations by way of remark. And in the first
place, would say it is pretty considerably
difficult for us to speak of those things where-
of we are not fully possessed Of. For in
doing this we are tolerably likely to involve
ourselves in difficulties from which it is pretty
considerably impossible to extricate our
selves therefrom. (Great emotion among
the members.) would premise by way of
conclusion, Mr. Speaker, tina, the subject be-
fore US is one whereupon we should reflect
upon with considerable maturity before we
decide upon it definitely by giving our votes
on it finally thereupon. Screams and yells
from all parts of the haII)-whereupo tho
honorable member simultaneously resumed
the seat upon which he had formerly been
accustomed to set thereupon.

Let 1t be remembered, that Van Buren, left
INC Government bankrupt, the currency de-
'angeu' inc exchanges disordered, trade par
a''Hed' pubic confidence destroyed, COM
merce stagnated, agriculture in ruins, and
all other public and private interests sus-
pended upon the rickety fortunes of chain
of feeble state corporations.
Let 1t be remembered, that the accruinp
revenue has been for a series of years made
quate to supply the means demanded by tho
expenditures of the governmont-that du-
ring the late Administration, the average of
expenditures for ordinary purposes has been
twenty-eght mil lions, while the average of
income from revenue has been but twenty
millions, so that the deficit to meet the ex-
pcnses has been annually eight millions of
doItdrS, which would have plunged the ma
ton in debt some thirty-two millions at the
end Of that tcrm but for the vast resources
in the treasury at its commencement.
Let 1t be remembered, that the details of
Of public extravaganza and corruption, I'M
der Van Buren's administration, exhibit the
most reckless prodigality and extravaganza
ever before known in the country, and that
all this would have been concealed from the

MIR. Marshall said it was possible he might
speak again on this subject during his stay IN
the city, and he should be happy to give all who
were still under the thraldom of the baleiuI
scourge of ntemperance, the benefit oil his own
experience. A considerable portion OF his prl-
vate history, he said had been put in circulation
and in some instances much more than the
truth had been told of him. This was the nat
ural consequence of his former habits, but the
truth was bad enough. He concluded his adj
dress with thrilling appeal to young men,

Marshall sat down amid laundering plaudlts.
Previous to Mr.. Marshall's speech, the Sc
cretary of the Union read a bref sketch OF the
forthcoming annual report, in which it is estl
mated that the whole number enlisted under the
banner OF the Washingtonans in the Unltet

course we have not as yet learned the result
of their proceedings. We have no doubt
however that Smile and Bank Reform"
will again be put upon the track, from the
force of habit. For the Tories have of late
been SO accustomed to nominating this sage
law-giver and they have written so much TO
prove that he is the wiSest man that has
fourshed since the days of solomon, that,
while Nathan continueth to abide in the land,
the pa,fy can not be reconciled to support
any othe, candidate. Beyond all peradven-
ture Nathan is a very worthy man, for, with
the wisdom of solomon, he combines the
submissive meekness of Moses and the pa
,ence of Job while none but FdtherO Cat
laghon himself can be considered his equa
