SPEECH OF THOs..L. ANDERSON, ESQ.
OF MISSOURI.

Our attention has been called to q very able
and eloquent speech, madein December last by
Mr.. Thomas L. Anderson, of Missouri, in which
the question Of slavery, in all its aspects, is
briefly but powerfully discussed. We give, in
another column, extracts from his speech, to
which we beg leave to invite the attention Of
our readers. The space at our disposal does
not admit Of the entire republication Of il, and
we are under the necessity Of omitting portions.
Among the portions omitted is his learned and
elaborate scriptural argument, proving the in.
stitution of slavery to be Of "Diyine origin; !;
that it was tolerated and practised among the
patriarchs, the prophets, and the apostles; and
that it was acquiesced in by our Lord and Sa-
viour Jesus Christ"
Mr.. Anderson is whig, a State-rights
whig; and, in the opening Of his speech, he
repels with scorn the idea that to be whig is
necessarily to be an abolitionist or freesoiler.
Whatever his party principles and affiliations
may be, Mr.. Anderson is patriot. His abili-
ties are of high order, and his personal char
acter without spot or blemish. In times like
these, which "try mems souls, political virtue
is above all price and honest patriotism q
crowning glory.

settling 4 Bill.--Four sharpers having treated
Themselves 10 sump,uous dinner at the Hotel
Mon,reuil, were at loss how TO settle for it, and
hit ON the following plan: They called the waiter,
and asked for the BILL One thrust his hand into
his pocket, as If to draw his purse; the second
prevented him, declaring he would pay the third
aid the same. The fourth forbade the waiter TAX
inr any money from either Of them, but all three
persisted. As none would one said =" The best
way TO decide is 70 blindfod the waiter, and who
ever he first catches shall settle the bill" This
proposition was accepted, and while the waiter
was cropping his way around the room, they
slipped out OF the house one alter another.

THE PROSPECT OF PASSING THE
NEBRASKA BILL.

We regard this as the most suspicious time
that has occurred within the last thissy years,
for settling on q right, constitutional, and per-
manent basis, the exciting question Of slavery.
The various political organizations Of the coun-
try do not rest on any basis necessarily involv.
ing opposition to the mode of settlement now
before the Senate and the House of Represen-
tatiyes. The wings claim to be as free from
the freesoil taint as the democrats do. They
claim that their creed is as true to the Consti.
tuition, to State rights, and to State equality, as
that pure creed which we profess. A pract-
cal test Of this is now offered and we trnst it
NAV appear that both of the great political
parties Of the country, however they may diff.
fer in minor matters, agree in upholding those
great doctrines without which there can never
be peace, harmony, and contentment among
the people of this country.
The people Of the two sections of our count
try know and understand each other better now
than they did. There are more facilities for
trade, travel, and intercommunication than
there ever were before. The institution OF
slavery is itself better understood than it has
ever been.
Again, the whole south, SO far as we are IN
formed, is united in favor Of the proposed
mode of settlement irrespective of party. AT
the north all Of those noble-hearted men
known as national democrats are, we believe:
warm, honest, and energetic advocates OF it.
The other wing of the party, who for years
have been known as freesoilers, but who have
recently "out- -Heroded Herod" in their repu-
d;at;on of the taint Of unsoundness, and have
been loud in their professions of love for the
Constitution and State rights, now have the
opportunity Of proving their soundness and OF
cooperating with the patriotic men in all parts
Of the Union, in their effort to put slavery
where the Constitution left it, and thus effect
a peaceful settlement that viii do justice to
both sections. Will they do so? This is q
problem yet to he solved.
The proposed mode of settlement comes IN
nrrler the auspices Of men high in authority,
aud a, senator's and statesmen as distinguished
for high character as for eminent Abilities.
The opposition thus far made 70 y IN 'ne
Senate, has proceeded entirely from avow'
ed abolitionists, whom to follow will be
matter Of but little glory and much peril
Moreover, the effort now on foot to effect tins
settlement has thus far been attended with but
little excitement. There seems to be q calm
settled purpose among the members OF botf
political parties to settle this momentous quss
ton as soberly and quietly as possible. II
view. Of these facts, thus briefly alluded to, w'
feel justified in saying that in the last thirt.
wears there has not been so anspioious tim'
for an amicable, constitutional, and salts
factory adjustment of this great question, a
the present We look to the result with hope
ne may say with confidence.
