SAINT Louis, May LIST, 1854.
My DEAR TMEs:-As You are Just on your
first legs, and it behoves every man to encourage
enterprise, thought it my duty to bow the knee
and worship at the shrine of lndustyy, therefore
send you the following that the ''gude folks of
year thriving city may remember US in the days
of their prosperity.
Ii was rather a surprise to me to find the vete-
rams IN your profession of this city prognosticatc
for yeu much success, and wishing you pecuniary
Joy As the result Of your new effort. st. Paul is
nuch spoken Of by the Missourians, and much
interest is felt in its inhabitants, and if we find
that they appreciate a noble struggle, rs you have
commenced. it will add much to our natural good
feeling for YOU all.
Since the Baker and Hoffman affair-not of the
heart-nothing has transpired to disturb the wa
tiers. save Benton's pronunciamcnto and OppOs-
iicn line. You doubtless have seen his card to
his constituents Even his warmest friends in
this place think him in his second childhood, and
am of the impression that h, has never been
IN his right mind since the explosion of the
Prncetons big gun. IT'S strange that man,
who certainly his talent, should so far forget
himself 10 seek such pu Grille revenge rs h, hls
Ia this in stance. by this act he has gratiied his
enemies more than h. could in any other manner.
But. ''whom the gois intend to destroy they first
deprive of their reason,' and it may be .'Old
Bullion's" time is at hani. The appointec
i by no m ans Il popular man and it is said by
those who know, the appointment was made be-
most obnoxious TO Mr.. Benton. There is
doubt of the flct-it is so; AMI there is us
little doubt of another fact-that Benton is with
out lniu nee with the present administration. At
time Benton inten led attempting to regain
his seat in the senate in Atchison's place, but
am of iii. opinion h has for the pre- sent declined
BEN. a caniidate, and will take another tro:
around III. course in this district for his present
post. Til re i screw loose in his head some
whe.c. ] was neutral on the Benton AMI Anti-
Benton question until the appearance OF his fool
i>h card AMI now canno. support HIM, AMI thus
ii i with ln"ny others.
