public service
The next President, he thinks, should be Sc
lected from the Northern democracy. He then
takes a start and speaks of the contest between
Gen. Jackson and the United States Bank, and
says that the revival of the gold currency was
one of the glores of Jackson's administration,
and implicitly one of his glories, for who can
| forget the ''mint Drops flowing up the Missis-
sippi.
The bill for the graduation of the public lands,
! must sooner or later, he thinks, become law,
| and it will be prosecuted in time of war, well
as in time Of peace, TO success. He refers to the
advantages to be reaped from the construction of
| the Oregon railroad--an old story, however, in
these parts. He is particularly eloquent on the
| subject of the war. At one time he said he could
tell the probable duration of it, but since he was
rejected as Lieutenant General, he cannot tell
when it will end The language which he uses
on this subject is characteristic of the man,
that we give it to our readers =

time when he had an opinion the President approved

and policy relied upon more than arms; and II that

republican brotherhood. Congressrefused the appoint

But the great point of his speech, the most i'm
portant part to the world, is the high estimation
in which he and his children hold the State OF
Missouri. But let us have his own words 3
Col B. said that the State of Missouri though young
State, had name abroad, and good one. Freedom
from large debt-compliance with her contracts so fur
she went in debt-exemption from the for bank
ing, and premature internal improvement.steady ad

she had retained and sustained senatorial these
things had given her character abroad and he proud

the time by all the papers in Washington city gene

This their coocaton Of the honors of the war; his
tory might make it little different but was right in
them. 1t came from the hart and showed that the
heart in the right place-in Missouri The girls did
it, the mother being sick and the only son, aud the
father, being in St Louis All had heard that he was
that he had taught them to honor the State which had
honored their father.
It is really too bad that the name and services
of the gallant Fremont made use of in this
way, by this Senator. He gloriies himself by
means of his son-in-l aw---he says one word
for him and two for himself
BANKING IN MAssAcHUsETTs.-It will be seen,
on reference to another column of this days pa

of the Manufacturers and Mechanics Bank OF
Nantucket, and late Senator in the Legislature
of Massachusetts, has commenced. 1t may be
that some curious Developments will be made.
