COL. RUsT.s SPEECH.

MILL iNbol . 2I i+t-Cit'
 This speech every word of which, as we re- marked last week, 'ell like d eow-hide upon the earcass of certain individuals, is attracting the at tention, and eliciting the approval of the people, throughout the State It is severe in terms, we laew but its real and killing severity, consists in its faets. \ mere trade of abuse, however severe in terms, and however much may sting at the no- mcnt does no real harm to the object of attack like mustard-seed shot, 1t lodges in the skin, and neither kills erpples But 5aets, even when set forth in the mildest terms, against mans conduct and character are like fife-balis, which penetrate 10 the very vtas, and break bones in their course. In the speech alluded to- there many of these rifle balls, as in any production of the same length NC have ever seen. They are drawn, too, from the pregnant magazine of the public records--to which source, al who may be eharitably disposed to ques ton the authenticity of their mould, referred,
 In this connection, we wish it to be distinctly un- derstood that none of this is said from feelings of personal friendship for Col. Rust. No relation of personal friendship exists between him and the Wri ter of this artcIe-the Senior Editor For reasons, best known and doubtless satisfactory, to himself Col R. has chosen to maintain an attitude somewhat
 
 change; acting, always, upon the rule of meeting all men just halfway upon the ground, either of ffiend3hipor enmity and iR no wise diStusting our competency to sustain oursef on either. But our remarks are the sugges liens of sense of duty, a like to the people and to public servant who, ia this instance at least, has been faithful to his trus; and, for his zeal and ability in detecting and expo sing gross frauds upon the public interests, deserves well at the hands of bis constituents.
 We may have more to say on this subject, here after and, in the mean time, copy the following
 From he .ii7taasas htciiigcacer,
 Ne propose publishing next week, the speech of Col. A. Rust, of Union, on the adoption of the report of the committee on the State Bank.
 The speech is a we'll argued, sharp, and we are sorry to state, truthful paper. It tells severely npon those extorlioners, those detaulters, that clique, who have by their peculationS and mal-prachces, brought dis grace upon the State, and reduced the paper of q sovereign power to mere by-word-a moekeiy-a parcel of worthless stuil. As bad as Arkansas money is--a proverb-the fame of which originality rests upon them; aRd the fame is as enyiable to the possessors, as that fame was to the man who burned the temple of Diana u | lhesus-he was, and they shall he, damned by lasting disgrace.
 Ne are glad 10 see that there are fearless months in our Legislature, who have dared lo draw aside the curtain 90 that the citizens. who must bear the punishment of the faults and frauds, may see who and by what motives and powers, these laulis, and frauds, and heiaous sins have been committed.
 fl, as Col Rust says, he has exposed but a slnall par, of the euonnities upon which he treats, we sincerely desire ihal he would draw lhe curtain still farther aside, and lay open la tlla public gaze, al tue wickedness oi ll4e Bank and ils conductors and operatives. Lei lhe people see clearly these Bank iuiQai- lies, and our word fer il, the people will de- vise same remedy, and may hap, some PuaIsb- meal, aside from llal af disgrace
