The present session Of the Missouri State
Legislature has been remarkable for tho wit
ty speeches Of its members. Mr.. White of
the House recently delivered himself as fol-
lows, in reference to the project OF forming
new county
Ipredicate my objections to this new coun-
ty on different grounds, one Of the main and
most Important Of which is that am conf
dent it would not be entitled to represent.
alive in the next City years. Mr.. Speaker,
did you ever visit the territory sought to be
created into tho county of Garter Did you
ever have an opportunity Of beholding its
multifarions beauties and examining it's
boundless resourcesp Well, sir, l have. l
have been all over it, and all around it, and
| do cay here openly and dehantly, that there
is not level ground enough within it's entire
limits to build pig pen on. (Laughter.)-
The soil is 30 poor it would not grow penny
royal. Sir, youEmight NOW the country with
razor and rake it with fine comb, and you
wouldn't get enough fodder to keep sick
grasshopper through the winter. (Renewed
laughter.y
Sir, they plant corn with crow-bars, and
hold their sheep by the hind legs while they
nibble the grass in the cracks Of the clffs.-
Increased laughter.) Sir, the tsrq natura
OF that section are principally ticks, and
must in justice say that variety OF insects at
tain splendid size in this new county of
Carter--the smallest that ever fell under my
observation being at least as large as sad
dle.bsg looks. Laughter.) As to the in
| ternal improvements in that section, this
| House can form some idea when assure it
that the only thing resembling a road that |
ever saw there was when one of the bare
footed natives dragged wild boy seven miles
through the snow. daughter and cheers ]
With such country as this, Mr.. Speaker,
they propose to make new county, and the
reason gwen for so doing is that the conve-
nience OF the inhabitants will be prom oted
thereby! Sir, if it were possible to hold their
courts under shade Of post oak and black
jack sapplngs, to keep clerks office and
the records OF the county in the recesses OF 4
hollow sycamore, and to make u Jail out oil
some OF the dark and Shiny caves beneath th,
~craggy hills Of that rough country if it were
possible to establish the machinery for doing
county business out OF such materials, w
might entertain the project az feasible ant
plausible. But, alas, even such advanta &c.
rs these are denied by nature to this county
(Great laughter.) II is true there would 81
no difficulty about the caverns for a Jail, bu,
the necessary post-oak and black Jack sap.
pings, to supply with their foliage canopy
for the august tribunals Of justice, could no,
be found. They are not in the county. And
as for sycamore tree suitable for deposi.
tory of the archives of the county, it would
be sought IN vain. The winds even refuse to
blow sycamore pods In that direction
lCheers and laughter.) And the idea Of the
people ever being able to build houses, ia
which to transact business, 10 deeply, darby,
prodigiously and preposterously absurd.

Dem acraaf Livery stable bill.
The Iowa Democracy profess to be very
economical in regard TO State expenditures.
But, then, one Of the grand boasts Of the De.
mocrasy Is, that ito principles are always and
everywhere the same; and Of course their
practices will always be in accordance with
their principles, and the same at Des Moines
that they are at Washington City. From an
official report, containing detailed account
Of expenditures by the House Of Representa-
tives, made by the Democratic Clerk, j. G.
Allen, We find that the Livery Stable bill of
that Democratic body, for the year ending
June 30th, 1858, was seven thousand two
hundred and seventeen dollars.
Having increased their pay about double
what ii used to be and added some thirty per
cent to the compensation of its officers, the
Democratic House Of Representatives now
charge up to the Treasury of the nation an
annual Livery Stable bill of $7,2l6.
Remember this bill is simply for one SEES
sion of the Democratic House, and does not
include the aristocratic Democracy Of the
Senate. Congress was only in session about
one hundred and fifty days that year, and it
follows that the Livery Stable bill of the
House was some fifty dollars day.
Suppose, for q moment, that the Republic
can House of Representatives of Iowa had
incurred such Livery Stable bill as that,
what would the people have thought, and
what would the Democracy have said Has
Locofoco Congress any better right to tar
the people with the payment of it's Livery
Stable bills, than Republican Legislature
Not bit. 1t is simply Washington City Of.
nee. holding extravagant Locofocoism, in
which Dodge was nurtured, and the habit.
and customs of which he would transfer te
Des Moines should he be elected.
