ard enthusiastic speech delivered on Thursday
last, by Mr. Ethcridge, of Tennessee, talented
new and young member, in favor of this meas
ure, has not resuscitated its prospects as sup
posed by many in Washington. The truth is
the tendency of tn. measure is very generally
condemned by those in public life who have not
been in military service. The objection which
50 far seems to prove all powerful, is the fac,
that its enactment will be laying the founda.
ton Of an order of nobility in this country-ot
the granting Of titles or marks of distinction
for alleged past services, which have no con-
nection with future employment in the public
service. Ifthere was any reasonable assurance
that the practice would stop with the confer
ence of the proposed honor on the veteran Scott
the bill would meet no opposition, or, at least
but slight opposition in the House. But the
friends of Generals Wool and Twiggs are
already clamoring in private conversation a.
well as in the New Orleans newspapers, fol
the enactment of similar compliments to those
distinguished and highly meritorious officers.
Thus, the opening wedge is not even driven
it a road for common travel In truth
it is recollected that no Republic has yet fallen
which did not under the pretence Of Forwarding
meritorious services, commence its downward
career by thus creating an oiigarchy, as II
We're. The tendency Of our public affairs is
decidedly towards consolidation. No one
knows how long it may be before some one &C,
cupies the Presidential chair, who, bent on
building up personal party, will seek to use
any such precedent thus set, to enable him te
effect that object; using the patronage and
influence Of his administration to advance aftel
this fashion all sseh - may DO willing to aid
his purpose.

Abiel Leonard.

The main topic of discussion in political
circles now is who will the next Legisla-
ture select as L. s. Senator, in place of Mr..
Atchison? 1t is query as yet rather hard
to solve, but we think the signs of the times
omen the election of some good Wing TO fill
that exalted post. A number of prominent
gentlemen have been mentioned and their
superior claims urged by their friends, but
there seems to be greater unanimiy of SEN
timent expressed in favor of that sterling,
conservative Wing and distinguished, talen-
ted civilian, Abiel Leonard And we are
not surprised at it either, for no man in Mis-
souri, deserves more Of his party or is bet
ter capacitated to reflect honor on the State
than the gifted Patriot of Howard. Mr..
Leonard is a superior man with but few
equals in the West, and if sent to the Sem
ate would command a respect and reverence
rendered but few Of his colleagues. He is
no ranting, frothy, vindictive partisan or wi
ly demagogue, but spirited, chival-
rous, honorable, high souled gentleman
such as would be an ornament TO the Fed
eral Assembly, and representative of which
Missouri could we'll feel proud. He would
labor, too, for the interests of the people,
and not devote his time to arranging party
schemes and pulling political triggers
Abiel Leonard is conservative, Union
Wing, free from obnoxious isms, tests, fus-
ions, and has never drank in the cess pool
of contention and agitation. He would be
the champion of the people and not the flip
pant mouth piece of sectional clans and dis
union factions. We have partiality for
Abel Leonard because he is a man for the
times--is able and acceptable, and his cleo
tion TO the U. S. Senate would be hailed with
acclamations of delight by the Conservative
People Of Missouri.

STATE FAIR.
ADDRESS OF GEN. MINOR,

We make the following extracts from the
Address of Gen. JAMES l.. Minor, at the
State Fair:
II have said that our great art is pro-
gressive. 1t is eminently so. 1t is moving
with the stride ard step of a giant. Chem
istry, IFS youngest and best beloved daught-
er is bringing its rich gifts with wild pro-
fusion and tilial fondness. Science and
learning now find their noblest fields of op-
Grafton in the materials that they draw from
the earth, and the elements of fertility they
return to her bosom. The arts acknowl-
edge her as their bounteous mother, and n
beautiful connection of mutual dependence
and support is established between the sci
ence of agriculture and the kindred science
of the errth.
But while this is the present condition OF
huSbandry, il becomes matter Of prime ne
cesSity that we should be- prepared 20 take
advantage Of its progress. The tanner o.
the country must keep pace with lis agri-
cultural Improvement. The day is fast APP
pi Jaching when we must be educated for
our great occupation, and when training
very different and far superior to that now
learned by the ordinary modes of seed time
and harvest, must be acquired by the tiller
Of the soil if he expects to realize constant
profit from his labors. We must learn to
avail ourselves of the science that is now
so busy in making agriculture the first and
most profitable Of human pursuits. We
must learn of what our soil consists, what
! it needs and in what it super -abounds-
what is its proper rotation to preserve its
fertility--what modes of culture to adopt
how to preserve and apply our manures-
how TO feed and rear cattle TO the best ad-
vantage-how to rectify the causes of iniu-
dicious cultivaton-an in a word, how to
achie' c the greatest results with the least
expense.
If we in Missouri, with our great ad.
vantages, fail to learn these things, we shall
soon be left behind in the great march oil
agricultural improvement, and we shall re-
semble the snags that remain fixed and sta
tionary in the bed of our noble river that
flows at our feet, while the current is bear
ing onward upon its bosom, a commerce cs
mighty as its own volume of waters, and as
unbounded as its own ceaseess flow.
We must remember that we already live
in the Far West, and cannot emigrate tc
more fertile regions when we have reduced
our lands to condition that will no longer
support lis. BY that time California will be
full, Texas settled, New Mexico replett
with all the population it can sustain, Kan
sas and Nebraska teeming with their COM
plement of inhabitants, and we shall be com
PEELED, by sheer necessity, to sit down qu
etly on our own farms, and feed our land
that they may feed us. Fortunately for us
our soil is good one, and still moro fortu
