- We shall lay before our readers in next
the recent Speech of the Hon. Asa Biggs on the
subject of internal improvements. Col. Biggs has
discussed the subject with his accustomed ccarness
and ability, and his views will be found worthy Of
attentive consideration.
1t is not TO be expected that Democrats can pre-
csely agree with Democrats, or Wings with Wings
on this subject, especially to the details involved
All agree that the system of improvements should
be prosecuted-all have in view the prosperity and
the best interests of the State Let US thcn not
fall out with each other by the way. 1t is impossi-
sible-and it would not be polite, if possible-to
establish any system or auy rule as to details as a
test on the subject of internal improvements.

probable opponent of the Hon. Henry NJ Shaw,

complimentary illusions to him by Democratic
paper, to the neglect oN prejudice of DIR. Shaw or
any other Democrat The News has recently also
been eulogzing Mr.. Badger. Why is this? Do lead

tant article fromhe New York Herald organs
Of Raoo-Nothingisna which shows the abolition and
freesoil character of the so-called American party
in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,; and pre-
sent further proof to this effect from the Albany
correspondent of the New York journal of Com
in the Northern States:

resurrection awaits him in the future, if now con-
signed to the political tomb. But it seems to me
that their hopes are built upon sand. The fact is
they lean entirely upon the Know-Nothing senti-

Great Fire I'm st. Louis.

About two O'Clock the 18th inst, says the Evening
News, the livery stable of Mr.. Kidmore, on Locust
street, was discovered to be fire, and rapidly
destroyed down to the Washington House, embrac.
ing the following buildings:
The large four story buildings belonging to Edward
Walsh, and occupied by several tenants. Three 9TH
buildings Of the same size, belonging to DR.. Bur-
cher the upper stories Of which were also occupied
These three latter buildings only injured in the
third stories, except by water.
On Locust street the following property was total
ly destroyed: Kidmore's livery stable, the building
Guzot's cabinet mandatory; A. B. Lynch's dwell
ing, and back buildings attached to Hood & Lang
doa's blacksmith shop.
In the livery stable ten twelve horses burn,
death. The entire loss 10 estimated at from $780,.
600 75, 900. This is supposed to be the work oil
an incendiary, and an unknown man was arrested on
suspicion. This, the News says, is the largest fire
that has occurred in that city since 1910.

The Sioux Expedition.

The ST. Louis Republican of the 18th inst. says
that the steamer Cataract left that city the day before
for Fort Leavenworth, having on board the following
officers:
Gen. w. s. Harvey, U. 8. A., Commander Of the
Sioux Expedition; Col. Andrews, Paymastsr, U. s.
A.; Major Winship. Assistant Adjutant General;
Capt. Van Wet, Assistant Quartermaster; Lieut..
Hudson, Aid-de.Camp; Capt. Heth, 10th Infantry
Lieut.. Balch, Ordnance Department.
These gentlemen proceed at once to Fort Lsaven-
worth, and thence, with all due expedition, to the
Plains. 1t is presumed, from the present condition
of affairs in that quarter, that matter of small mo-
ment will be allowed to delay the progress Of the
troops, and that if the Sioux Indians be found,
they will be chastised into proper respect for the
people Of the United States. Nothing short Of this
will do, and though the Expedition is somewhat late
in moving, we have no doubt that Gen. Harvey will
strike terror into the enemy wherever he may meet
them.

JONATHAN IN LOVE.
BY WILLIAM NORTH.

Share your wealth, enjoy your charms;
Nations hear the latest story,
Worthy of q poets Tyre;
iona than, the sun OF glory,
Burns with sentimental drc
Jonathan, the tall young giant,
Last and first Of Odin's race,
Loves q lady, fair, defiant
Loves an island queen Of grace.
Jonathan, the victor Vicking,
Heart Of oak and arm Of steel,
Slow to run, but quick At striking,
Passions thrill begins to feel.
He from Norseman proud descended,
Seeks sunny southern bride,
And with longing arms extended,
Signs to clasp her virgin pride.
Cuba-name of fascination
Is the bride he seeks to gain,
Spite of all the indignation
Other cross old mother, Spain.
Spain, the old abandoned pauper
England's debtor, Frances jest,
Sees, with dull and trembling torpor,
Hope infiame her daughters breast.
And to Jonathan, the Titan,
Shows the bag her teeth decayed,
Calculated not to brighten
One who trusts to freedoms blade.
"Of the Golden Horn, I'm master;
At my feet In Mexico;
Who can boast dominion vaster
Than the empire can show?
Scuba, silly, prudish maiden,
To my arms !" cries Jonathan;
Lady fair, with wrongs DER laden,
Say the word, and Pm your man!
AS for Spain, with all her clamor,
Not cent I'll give or lend -..
Let them bring her TO the hammer,
And her bankrupt swindle end
81 must have you, Cuba darling
Share your wealth, enjoy your charms;
Though thousand kings were snarling,
And all Europe up In arms
We shall both. have a notion,
Find the speculation pay;
So, my pretty pearl of ocean,
Please to mans the happy day"
