The Party-The Legislature.

Al the regular session Of the Legislature,
considerable time was consumed in the
Senate debating party resolutions, offered
by Mr.. Churchill. They were finally a.
doptcd by that body. The House has been
engaged on the same resolutions at the ed-
iourned session. These resolutions have
cost the State from three TO FIVE thousand
dollars, in cash. "The party" however,
endorsed the administration, and declared
its views OF the slavery question, for the
hundredth time. The opposition, il is true
offered amendments, and debated them, but
the democracy themselves were nc. agreed,
or, having the power, they could hevs
passed their resolutions ct once, and saved
the peoples money. Look at ii: O!d
Buck and his followers plumber the coun-
try by the million, and the democrats In The
Missouri Legislature spend FIVE thousand
dollars endorsing Tie administration. That
is retrenchnent and reform. Hero is o
specimen Of the debate, and The harmony Of
the party, written Sy JONES Of Marion, ia
the Hannibal Messenger:
"Ansersea OF Pike then offered an amend
nsnt, 10 lAs e!iscl ika! Congress should, il
necessary, protect slavery IN the territories
from uuIieEaly legislation, or the conse-
quences OF no legislation 4; n!l, This pro-
duceG very decided sensation and brought
Miner Of Schuyler TO his feet, who rsDUdi-
ated tbs idea CT permitting Anderson or any
other enemy OF Democracy, to make q
platform for Democrats. The Senate had
passed these resolutions and the House
ought not 10 hesitate 10 take them. When
the plethorio member had taken his seat,
Anderson arose and replied with much Sc
verify, spurning the idea that man was 10
surrender The right of private jud gment and
chain himself slave 10 the car OF party
As 10 making platforms for Democracy, he
hoped he should never be found in such
disreputaDle EN- ploYment. Minor replied,
congraiulating the Democracy that Ander-
son had left the party. He hoped he would
never return. a: this stage OF the proceed
ings, Davis Of NOdaway, arose and protest
ed against party gags and new party tests,
He had always been Democrat, but en- in
dependent one that would always assert
his views without fcsr, favor or sffecIion.-
He was not 10 be coerced BY Kings, brakes
or Miners. He offered the Cincinnati
platform" as substitute for The Senate
resolutions and supported his motion in Q
bold and sensible speech. He hoped the
gentleman f-Cm Pike would Withdraw his
amendment. Mr.. Anderson ussented.-
Riley Of Wright came TO the supper! Of Da-
Wis Of Nodaway. AT length the vote on q
motion 10 lay the Cincinnati ilatloTm' CT
the table was had, and it was tabled accord
ingly, Davis Of Buchanan protesting that
no party should ram pills down his throat
He was as good o Democrat as ever
brs0ihed, but he was also freeman. Nor
ris of Barton and barnes Of Scott, gave Ut
terance 10 similar sentiments.

Gr. Bates and the Niger.

Some weeks ago the Evening .News pub
iishsd an article purpOrting 10 give the
views Of Mr.. Bates on the slavery question,
as il learned them from his public EXPOSE
tions and recurd. We gave the article en-
tire, without comment. Ii has attracted
much attention and comment, and regard,
ing ii IS authoritative, some of Mr.. Bates
old friends have given him the cold shoulder.
Subsequent 10 its publication, the .iesrs an.
nounced that the article was not published
by authority. The Democrat announced
also that Mr.. Bates approved The senti.
inents of the article. The press, not only
of this State, but the country at large, have
been busily discussing the subiec. since,
and have brought Mr. Bates so prominent
before the public, that we are led 10 be-
lisve he will, at no distant day, give his
views over his own signature. He is nc
politician-no Office seeker-and eonss.
quent!y shrinks from parading himself, or
being psradsd before the public. Yet he
desires the continued respect Of his old
friends, and will not psrn., them to DO d,-
osived by the misrepresentation Of their
common enemy. As a general thing, be
has observed serene indifference TO invec.
tive and abuse from political dsmssosues
but we are persuaded he will speak OH,
when their course is such a. 10 create 6i.
vision among the conservative and patriotic
masses with whom lie has always acted
We are strengthsd in this belief by the fol
lowing extracts from the last Salesman

ries, who want TO know why the .Neus ar.
licls has not been published in his paper
and replies,
/ Because it was the .Nsws' and not Mr.
Bates article, published without either the
knowledge or authority OF Mr.. Bates. We
announce it as fact, too, ,rhich IRE knou
from mos! reliable authority, thst there are
views" in that article Mr.. Bates does NO
endorse either in word or substance
Knowing this fact, as we do know it, why
Should we embarrass and distract our friend.
and nislead our foes by encumbering ,ht
current discussions Of the time with On ex-
pose which the au.hor himself says was no
published by the authority nor prepared wit!
the knowledge or consent Of Mr.. Bates,
and which IRE know was conceived III
misinserprstatiOn of many of his views?"
And in the same article, says the editor,
! ave shall wait an authoritative expose
not BY the editor Of some paper, but By Mr.
Bates hinself-an expose which we hav,
no doubt will be forthcoming al the prOpe
time"
/ We staad by Mr.. Bales until that expos,
appears, and hope all his old friends vii
do the same; and we are satisfied ne:lhe
they nor us will change our position towards
him, after it d,es appear.

St. Louis is governed by Republicans, and
The Nationals govern the State. The re-
suit is, The Nationals in the Legislature are
continually called upon to gatote the Re-

PoLITlCS AT JEFFERSON, II rom sunury
givings out from Jefferson, we gather that
the members Of the Opposition there, are
opposed 10 the proposed Convention on the
18th, if not opposed TO any Convention; but
if one be held at oil, they very properly
favor later day.
Ii is unoficially announced that Gen.
Wilson of Andrew and Gen. Rains of Jas
per will take the field for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, without formal
nomination. They would make strong tick
ct, and successful race.
The regular Opposition being set aside,
we hope the Republicans will hold their
Convention, and show their hands. If they
feel strong enough 10 start ticket let them
do it, and show their strength. We are
more convinced now than we were two
weeks since, the Opposition will not fuse
with them. They want none Of their
counsel. in Convention-none OF their men
On their ticket. But if they choose to vote
for the Opposition ticket, after it is in the
field, no one will object. II they don't like
our ticket, let them ''return from whence
they came"-to the National Democratic
party. and we doubt not they will be re-
ceived with open arms.

Of Tuesday, says:-
