HCAoRs or THE MINNESOTA CAAPAIGN-ToM
MARSHALL AT ST.. PAUL-At the meeting at the
Fuller House, on Tuesday evening, nohie, dig
nhed and manly speech was delivered by Mr.
Hale, which was received b. loud and repe ated
cheers BY The audience. Having spoken at
Hastings on Monday night, then at Saltwater
on tuesday afternoon, the orator was naturally
pretty tired for speaking again At st. Paul on
Tuesday evening. The effort, though not 80
long, perhaps, as usual, we'll maintained Mr..
Hale's reputation.
He was followed, Al the call Of the audience,
by ). T. Jennison, Esq, in . few humorous re-
marks.
Here the meeting properly ended, and the
lights on the balcony were put out.
few democrats in the Hotel around the bal.
cony, and outside on the outskirts Of the crowd,
persisted in almost dragging out Hon. Tom
Marshall. Of Kentucky, 70 speak, in which they
finally succeeded, when, notwithstanding Mr..
Marshall was laboring under severe indsposi-
tion. be proceeded, (aiter : short interval TO
recover himself thoroughly to speak Of the
Missouri compromise; Of its authors and sup
porters, the old big giants Of the land; and OF its
destroyer, the little giant, whose Vaccinations
had broken down that time -hoDored compro-
mi.e, had legslased civ war into Territory
of the Union; and had given occasion for the
great split in the Democratic party, out OF which
had arisen the Black Republican party Of the
land. The big giants. alas, he said, were all
dead. Adams was gone, and Calhoun, and Clay,
and Webster-all gone-and be wished the Al.
mighty, when be took to himself those grea.
giants, had also seen 6t, for the good Of this
country, to have removed from amongst us
certain ''litte giants" who afflicted us! Ii ives

and destroy. In ancient Greece, there once
existed mighty temp!e-the temple of '.Diana
Of the Ephesians." The piety and wealth Of
Greece had been for ages concentrated upon its
adornment and extension, until it had become
wonder of the world. But there were little
giants in those days also. There was small
giant who, utterly unable to build such temple,
could think Of no ether way Of making himself
famous or Infamous in ell time to come, except
by setting on Ore the magnificent fame; and the
miserable wretch stole into the house of his
gods, and, torch in hand, gave it to the deyour-
ing danes The Missouri Compromise was the
American temple Of Diana. 1t vas consecra-
ted, sacred thing, 10 the hearts Of the Ameri-
can people. But the State Of Illinois contained
counterpart OF him who burnt The temple at
Ephesus, = little giant with like motives, and
aud AN equally notable ambision-and 10! the
Missouri Compromise, the work Of the real
giants Of American history, had fallen before
his incendiary hand!!
The above is but an imperfect sketch Of the
Raying alive which Mr.. Aarshall gave to Stephen
A. Douglas, whose friends had been SO of6cious
in urging him to speak, evidently against Mr,
Msrshalls own gentlemanly instincts, but, On
their part, evidently with the idea that, being .
Southern man and ~ old Clay Wing, he might
be expected 70 pitch into Mr.. Hale, and break
the force Of the Republican meeting, BY Union
Saving speech They caught, however, . very
bad Tsrtar!-thas's alll-St Paul NinpesOsian.
