WESTERN IDEAS.

Hon. Edward Bates, of Missouri, was present
al the commencement OF y ale College on the loih,
and having been called upon for speech on the
occasion, gave the learned assemhiage specimen
OF western eioIuence, Of which the following IS
condensed report:
~He said he was not unused to adlres ling mass
meetings, but never had he stood before such a
mass meeting of hed6s--of intellect He was a
stranger. and he had been taken into the scene
which he witnessed before him His name was

and whom she has gathered areund her to day
He calls Connecticut the glorioes old little Com
monwealth. The school house OF the Continent,
she sends her surplus OF intelligence, enterprise
and virtue abroad over the world, and they reap
rich rewards. He said that ont OF the Mississip-

Nature speaks lou!est in her greatest works, and

what the fresde oftheir fathers fathers were. =

A PATRloTIc SrEEcH.-G Gen. Houston made a
speech in the Senate the other day. in which he
denounced severely the Nashville Convention and
disunionists in general, closing in the following
strain:
Go 10 the yeomanry, or as they are called, the
hard handed men ofthe country. the man OF sub
stance and he will tell you, with his family gath
cred around hiin--this is my home, this is my
wife, and here are my children; and thus surround.
ed, l am in this humble mansion as proud as the
monach in his paface-here the constitution pro-
tecis me, md am going to place all these en-
dearments upon the hazard OF disunion!
Never! never will they do it, sir. tell you
that the people OF the South are right Give to
them but the benefit of the constitutional guar
antics and all the factions OF the day, and all The
abstractions that can be conjnrea nP by cisatiec-

ment, and by reckless deInasognes; ~ spite OF
them all, say, the South will hug the Union to
her heart as the last blessing Of Heaven.
