JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 6, lS43.

Friend Green:-I arrived here this
morning, after very cold and ,iresome ride
on horseback. over one of the toughest
rouds in America, from Boonvlle to Jeffer-
son.
The response to the charges against
Judge Leland was read this morning, to
both Houses in joint session, when the
counsel on the part of the prosecution ask
ed until to, morrow morning to reply to the
response of the Judge, which was granted,
and the two Houses dissolved and procee-
ded to other business.
After the reading, on Saturday last. of
Mr.. McHenry's bill for districting the State,
Mr.. Miller, of Cooper, offered substitute
in which the boundaries of the districts
were somewhat different from Mr.. McHen-
rvs; the most important feature in the sub
stitute was, that each district should vote
only for its own member. After much
speaking, in which several gentlemen par-
ticipated, this substitute was indefinitely
postponed, and the House adjourned.
This afternoon the subject was again
called up. Messrs Jackson, Scott and
Hudson made speeches. The debate was
entered into with great spirit by Scott and
Hudson of st. Louis.
DR.. Scott wished the question on Mr..
McHenry's bill indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Hudson then rose and said that DIR.
Scott was not the strong advocate for the
district system he took him to be. "And
then IL numbered" DR.. Scott said Mr.
Hudson had done all he could against the
district system ever since he had beer
here. Mr.. Hudson said it was not so; he
was in favor of districting; but he believed
the gentleman from Howard was not sc
warm champion for districtng now a,
when he first came here; he understood ht
was pledged to support the district system
The Doctor looked little blue at this, ant
replied, he was nominated by tDo Demo
cratic Conventions. Mr.. Hudson said ye

ton the Doctors blood arose to fever hea

JEFFERSON Cry, Feb. 8, lS43.

Messrs. Benson q. Green How vain
all expectations, or calculations. l in
formed you some time ago, that the State
would certainly be dstricted, but | find |
was mistaken. In calculating the matter
did not make sufficient allowance for the
infrmity of poor human nature, Certain
I am that there ,Oas large majority in ia
vor of districting, but, like the Scotch
mans flea, when you attempt to "Put your
finger upon them they are not there"
Men, like feas, are not TO be relied upon.
The question of districting has been in
definitely postponed, in the House of Rep
resentatives, and, according TO parliament
tary rule, cannot come up again this ses.
sion. The true friends of distrcting stood
up to the question manfully, and only yield
ed to numbers, not to force, for all the force
of argument was on their side. Some of
the ablest speeches delivered this session
were called forth, in the discussion of this
question, from DR.. Flanagan, of Monroe,
DR.. Moss, of Clay, Miller, of Cooper, and
Edwards, of Ray, in favor of districting.
I must speak particularly of DR.. Moss, for
l consider that he delivered one Of the
most powerful and argumentative speeches
lever heard. He has pleasant delivery,
and one cannotfail to listen to him. His flash
es of wit, with his mastery argument, in
spirc one with admiration, and could not
fail before an impartial assembly to be felt.
The trial of Judge Leland has brought
to this city great many witnesses and
others-among whom, l have been happy
to find your senior Editor, who seems to be
busily engaged in making acquaintance
waiting on the ladies, and taking notes
OF course he will relieve me from giving
YOU minute detail Of what is passing, and
while he is here will only fire few "ran.

time being my more feeble pen.

An age of bliss and love to me.

Or view thy heavenly moulded form,
But think the angels must be few,

The star love that beams afar-
Shedding a radiance all divine,
A guiding and cheerful star.
