The people Of Missouri cannot be justly charged

might hesitate to reject a vote upon any defect Of
form, however essential In law. But In the pres
eat case, we feel ourselves bound to adhere to the
very letter OF the law. in order to defeat gross
and Paipable fraud. The consideration that o,n

CALEB CUSHING IN FASEUIL HALL.-An ad-
dress was delivered to the citizens of Boston, in
Fanenl Hall, ON Tuesaay, 10y Hon Caleb Cushing
on political topics. The speech was both able
and eloquent, and was listened to by large au-
dlence despite the severe storm that prevailed
lie defended the administration of President
Fierce, and assumed that the opposition in Mas
saefusetts was simply personal, being known as
The Banks party. &c, and in this connection de-
voted three-fOaTths Of an hour in reviewing Mr..
Bankss speech OIL the financial question The
merits Of the Kansas question were explained by
MI Gushing as he understood them, and il was
argued that speculation in the public lands was
the one Leading object Of keeping up the excite
Hient, both North and South, and that il acted as
a sort OF advertisement after the manner of Bar
mum IL was then argued that the bleeding
Kansas idea had exploded; that the bred
seott' case had died out, and that the elaborate
ly constructed platforms Of discord on which the
Republican party had stood for three wear. was
completely broken dOwn-therefore Mr. Banks
had taken new ground and eDdeavored to per-
vert financial Questions in the service of the ne
gro excitement. The speaker urged the support
OF the Democratic State nominees, and appealed to
TIE merchants Of Boston and the people of Mass
aehuSetts to rebuke sectionalism and closed with
an eloquent peroration in reference TO the future
Of the nation.
