As the Convention for the protection Of
Western Interests is to be held this day at
Evansville we shall take occasion to make
our speech noW, it is most probable we
will not be called up at the meeting Unlike
most others whose privilege il is to address
the public, we shall let our remarks be par
ticularly characterized by breviiy, and thus
secure some claims 10 the soul of wit, whe-
ther we obtain any of its body or not.
Then, fellow-ciiizens, you will permit us TO
say that although this Convention is COM
posed OF multitude somewhat smaller than
those mighty tides of men which have swell
ed into armies of the people the political or
party conventions-yet never did Il meeting
of the people convened under the banners OF
a political party, have SO great objects in
view, such incalculable interests 10 maintain
and advance, such wrongs to redress and
rights TO secure, as the meeting OF this day.
We have met f r 10 sectional purpose, nor for
the advancementol any cause which debars
aportion of the people from mingling in this
council. On the contrary, we are seeking
from our own Government that protection
and assistance for the West it has SO freely
lavished on the East, TO extend even more
rapidly our prosperity, and with our own in
creasing population and improvements, to
benefit indirectly the whole country and ar
rayed under the banners of no party nor sect
or creed, every citizen may freely join US and
unite his voice in this convention 10 the swell
ing Of that general voice which we intend
shall reach the ears CT Congress, and ulti-
mately secure us favor, or at least more
practical hearing. The eyes of the West
should be turned TO this meeting, as one in
which every part OF it is interested, and a
convention likely 10 be followed by many
others Of the same kind.
1t has already been our privilege TO speak
of the objects of this meeting in detail, and
as to-day you will hear them most probably
stated and enforced by the eloquence Of a
Marshall, and in the statistics and facts, and
powerful language of a Benton, and in tht
remarks of other able men, and it is to be ex
pected in the form of memorial drafted anC
perfected by the talent of the convention
il is idle for our weak pen to allude further to
the SUBJECT 1t only remains or US to urge al
unanimity of action on those subjects brough
up for the consideration Of the convention
that its voice may seem as of one tongue;
full attendance from our own citizens, and
free extension of hospitality TO those strang
era who may visit US.
With three cheers ringing in our ears f.
having made the shortest speech on the oc
casion, we sit down blushng with confusion.

being on their way, and 10 the course of the
ensuing week there will be a good many
droves in the vicinity, where they will chiefly
remain until the weather becomes more Ia
vorable for packing.
The St. Louis InleIligencer ofthe 18th hal
the following:
HoGs.-In the pens there are already nearl,
1000 head OF hogs. Thus far. we have hearl
of but one or two actual sales One of 50'

section under consideration.
Pending the decision upon Mr.. Gregg

fore the vote was taken upon his substitute
