Gov. SHASNoN's PosIrroN.-The Reporter
of Shannon's speech for the ST. Louis Demo
crdt furnished that paper few weeks since
with incontestible evidence of the correctness
OF his report In addition to numerous GER
tihcates from prominent citizens who were
IN attendance, heard the speech and vouch
for the truthfulness Of the report, he gives
similar reports, made by other persons, for
papers in Kansas, and closes with an article
from the Kansas Territorial Register, the
pro-slavery organ Of the Administration,
which quotes from Shannon's Westport
speech in proof that he is pro- slaverv man.
The article from the Register commences as
follows:
Our contemporaries in the East seem EN-
barrassed to understand the position of Gov.
Shannon in relation to the Slavery question
We speak now of the Democratic sheets that
mean to state fairly, when they know what
that position is. At this time there ought to
be no doubt entertained on that point. We
will state it. GOV. Shannon. from his first
ovation at Westport, to his last at Lecomp-
ton, in fact everywhere where we have heard
Of him reliably, has adhered, not only to the
pro-saverv sentiment, but 10 an organiza-
ton, the object Of which il to make Kansas a
slave State by the prostitution Of the ballot |
box, an appeal to arms, or dissolution Of
the Union. We say so,
First, Because he made speech at West (
port, in which he declared ''that the institu-
tons Of Kansas ought to be similar to those
of Missouri" that the laws of the Legsla-
ture (which he had never seem should be
sustained.
The editor follows this up with numerous
other reasons, but our readers will probably
think with the Judge who stopped the witness
in his recital Of nineteen reasons why a party
was not in Court. the first being that he was
dead and buried.

Clean d and vanished in moment Oh, the face

Ere you persisted, Bar bare
Oh, that pald face
Those sweet, earnest eyes of grace
When last i saw them, dearest, it was in another

lou running forth to meet me with my love
gift on your wrist,
And cursed river killed thee, aided by murderous
mist.
Oh, purple mark Of agony the mouth

When last | saw thee Barbara
Those dreary years eleven,
Have you pinned within your heaven!
Andis this the only glimpse Of earth that in that

And have you passed unheeded all tn fortune of

Such was not the testimony OF the late
Alexander X. McClung, whose intimacy with
MIR. Prentiss during the most glorious part of
his life. gave him peculiar advantages for
forming correct Judgment McClung used
to say that he had known, in his time, but
two "born orators''-men who talked elo-
quently always, because they couldn't help
u-because they were perpetually inspired
and needed no previous preparation-on one of
them was Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, and
the other, Tom Corwin, of Ohio. All the
rest, he had ever met, including Prentss. the
most eloquent Of all, had to prepare them
selves carefully and laboriously beforehand
Prentlss, he said, sometimes failed Marshall
and Corwln never Memphis Eagle.
