A Resolution.

The following was offered by Mr.. Pitt,
before the Missouri Legislature on the 9th
January, ! $50. which passed both Houses;
Resolved, That the speaker be authorized
to cause to be printed and posted. one hun
dred bills announcing that the 9th OF
January, 1859, will be celebrated by the
Legislature.
Mr. P1rr-Mr. Speaker, this House
passed resolutions, sir, the other day, TO
celebrate, in an appropriate manner. the
Sth of January. This resolution simply
asking that notice be given to the public
that we will celebrate that day. We have
declared an intention, and now, when we
come to publish it, some gentleman is sud-
denly taken with the retrenchment gripes.
and squirms around like a long red worm
on a pin hook. (Laughter.) Gentlemen
keep continually talking about economy.
l, myself, do not believe in tying the pub
lie purse with cobweb strings but when
retrenchment comes in contact with pat
rlotsm it assumes the form of 'smallness.'
Such economy is like that of Old Skinflint.
who had q pair of boots made for his little
boy, without soles, that they might last
the longer. (Laughter.) | reverence
the day we celebrate 1t is fraught with
"reminiscences the most soul stirring; 1t
brings to mind one of the grandest events
ever recorded in letters of living fire upon
the walls Of the temple of fame by the
strong right arm of the God of war!. On
such occasions we should rise above party
lines and political distinctions. 1 never
fought under the banner of Old Hickory,
but by the eternal, wish [ had. Laugh
ter and applause;) If the old war horse
was here now he would not know his own
children from the side of Joseph's 5 coat of
many colors Wings, Know Nothings,
Democrats, hard, soft-boiled, scrambled
and fried; Lincolnites, Douglasltes and
blathersktes l belong to no party. L
am free. unbridled, unsaddled, in the politi-
cal pasture Like bob-tailed bull in fly
time, l charge around in the high grass
and fight my own flies. (Great laughter }
Gentlemen, let us show our liberality on
patriotic occasions. Why, some men have
nn more patriotism than you could stuff
into the eye of knitting gneedle. Let US
not squeeze a five cent piece until the eagle
on it suueals like locomotive or an OLD
maid. Let ue print the bills and inform
the country that we are as full of patriot
| ism as are Illinois swamps of tadpoles.
! (Laughter) l don't believe in doing
things by halves. Permit me. Mr.. Speaker.
to make poetical quotation from one of
our noblest authors:

Convulsive laughter.)
