l believe it is universally true that a
''calm succeeds Storm" it is certainly true
so far as this part of the political trorld is

paused for a short interval to contemplate
their busines and social relations-prepara-
tory to the final political conflict that is
about to commence.
Col. Benton is now abroad holding con-
sultations with his friends of this Congress
sional District, in order to ascertain if they
desire his services again, (though in a
somewhat inferior capacity in the Congress
of the United States. 1t is generally be-
lieved, that the Col. is to be forever ''laid on
the SHELF To those who have witnessed
the slavish subserviency of the Democracy
of Missouri during the last 80 years, this
looks marvellously strange. But this is an
age Of wonders
The Wing Delegates from this city and
county will leave on Monday for the Cape

largest one ever known here on such an &C.
casion,) was held in the Common Pleas
Court room at 10 o'clock, at which the Hon.
Edward Bates presided. Appropriate res
olutions were passed, and gentlemen were
appointed to present them to the several
courts rnd ask that they be placed on record.
Mr. Bates presented the resolutions to the
Supreme Court this morning and delivered a
beautiful and impressive address or the oc-

in st. Louis who was more highly esteemed
in his profession, more universally loved as
a private citizen and more generally rever-
enced as Christian gentleman than Mr..
Spalding. His funeral is to take place on
tomorrow afternoon and the members of his
profession are to attend in a body.
The Supreme Court delivered several
opinions this morning and adjourned until
the next time in course.
