SPEECH OF Taos. r. MARsHALL.-In re-
Spouse of his Kentucky friends, Thos. +.
Marshall, who has become a resident Of this
city, delivered an address on political mat
tiers at the Metropolitan Hall, Saturday
evening.
A large audience was called out, which
Mr.. nj. addressed for nearly three hours.
lie was listened to with marked attention,
though frequently interrupted by outbursts
of applause. Mr.. Marshall did not advocate
the election OF any Presidential candidate,
nor approve OF any Of the platforms entire
ly; but his whitening denunciation of the
actors in the Kansas plot--lhe Administro
ton, and the candidate of Ostend, indicated
pretty plainly that he was not on thai side OF
the house.
His high reputation as a public speaker
was admirably sustain ed, and his listeners
were charmed with his e%ioquence. We re.
greet that he thinks he has q right to with
draw himself from the public arena. feeling,
as he AYERS, that the destinies of the coun-
try are swaying in the balance, when he
could do so much in leading the people to
right CONCLUSIONS Chicago Jour.

Want Of Experience in Civil Affairs

II amuses US very much TO hear the old
fogy objections against Fremont, that he ID
not qualified for President. because he had
30 little experience in civil affairs. We
would ask these mummy politicians how
much experience Andrew Jackson had, be-
fore he was elected! Yet the people con-
sidered in spite Of all his faults, that he was
one of our best and noblest Presidents
We have no doubt that Col. Fremont will
make a better President than even Andrew
Jackson, because he has a superior educa-
ton, and has another immense advantage.
He has travelled over his whole country, go
that he fully understands the just rights OF
the South, as well as the North, the East,
as well as the West. Doyou suppose that
Pierce had any adequate conception of our
oeean-like lakes when he crushed our har-
Dor appropriations beneath his veto? He
could not, because the West, the magnif.
cent West, needs to be seen to be appreci-
ated. Even Daniel Webster, with almost
a God-like grasp of intellect, remarked to a
friend, that "his visit to the West had OPEN
ed his mind to new convictions Of his duties
as a statesman" and ever after, the log
cabin settlers of our glorious West found an
answering champion In the massive argu.
mentso of the greatest of American orators.
In truth, no man is fit to be a President of
the United States who has not travelled
West of the Allegheny mountains. With.
out that travel, he has no adequate concep-
ton of our whole country Milwaukee Was.

Summers Speech.

The following is the closing paragraph
of Senator Summers speech. The reader
should obtain it and peruse the whole of it:
1.-THE contest, which, beginning in Kan.
sas, has reached US, will soon be transfer
red from Congress to a broader stage, where
where every citizen will be not only spec.
tator, but actor; and to their judgment ! con
fidently appeal. To the People, nov on
the eve of exercising the electoral franchise
in choosing a Chief Magistrate of the Re-
public, l appeal to vindicate the electoral
franchise of Kansas. Let the ballot-box of
the Union, with multitudinous might, pro.
tect the ballot box in that Territory. Let
the voters everywhere, while rejoicing in
their own rights, help to guard the rights Of
distant fellow. citizens; that the shrines Of
popular institutions, now desecrated, may
be sanctioned anew; that the ballot box,
now plundered, may be restored; and that
! the cry, Il am an American citizen may not
be sent forth in vain against outrage of ev.
cry kind. In just regard for free labor in
that Territory, which it is sought to blast
by unweicome association with slave labor;
in Christian sympathy with the slave, whom
it 10 proposed to task and sell there; in
stern condemnation Of the Crime which has
been contaminated on that beautiful soil;
in rescue of fellow citixsss, now subjected
to a %tyrannicll Usurpation; in dutiful re-
spect for the early Fathers, whose aspira.
lions are now ignobly thwarted; in the name
of the Constitution, which has been out
raged-of the Laws trampled down-ofJ Jus
tice banished-of Humanity degraded-of
Peace ~destroyed-of Freedom crushed 10
the earth; and, in the name of the Heaven
ly Father, whose service is perfect Free
dom, | make this last appeal"

Perseverance, Against Difficulties.

Hon. Richard Mott, Of the Fifth District
OF Ohio, has been for some time past on
Long Island shore, for the benefit Of his
health. On Tuesday last a dispatch was
sent to him, stating the importance Of his
presence here, to vote on the Kansas bill.
The dispatch fell into the hands of his neph-
ew at New York, who saw that it would be
impossible to getit to Mr. n. by any ordina-
nv channel, in order to be OF service. Ac-
cordingly, he proceeded at once to the riv-
or side where he chartered a steamer which
he found.already fired up, proceeded to his
uncle's rural retreat, for which he had to
hunt IN the darkness of the night, awoke
him from his sleep, and conveyed him to
New York in time to take the Wednesday
evening train for Washington. He arriv-
ed here on Thursday morning, and the vote
of Richard Mott was recorded for the bill
to give peace and security and the rights Of
free men to the citizens Of Kansas. Such
energy and perseverance In q good cause
are worthy Of commsmoration.-N. 7.

there was a man hanging on a tree. The
Coroner hurried to the place to find himself
"sold" by an efigy ofP. 8. Brooks hanging
from a limb. Nothing daunted, he ordered
an inquest, and the verdict was "that said
P. 8. Brooks came to his death by suicide,
brought on by remorse Of conscience"
This duty being done, he came upon the
county for his fees.
