wa, true, as Major Jackson sad, he roads
had cost too much the peoples money had
been squandersd, and when was this not
! the case. " here de uocracy ruled.
We cannot follow Judge Orr through his
speech, which occupied Oh hour and half
in delivery, and give his position on bank
ing, our common school system, and other
questions. Il must suffice, that though no
orator-very ugly, Sc, yet he is well post
ed, sharp debatsr, and will make an ex-
eeilent Governor.
Major jackson followed, and gave Us his
usual speech on the slavery question, be-
ginning at Genesis and ending at Baltimore;
the rail road. which has already been no.
tced. in notice of Judge Orr's speech; and
Banking. On the latter question, he said
the Banks must either fall upon some plan
10 make their paper as good as gold, any
where in the State, or be banished. He
suggested 10 plan, but is understood TO ia
vor a redemption, in gold, in St. Louis, as
well Is over the bank counter. He was
dull and dry, on these questions, being
worn down by travel and speaking. But
when the time come 10 answer Judge Orr's
questions on Presidential affairs, knowing
the dose he had to swallow, he warmed up,
and went at it lively.
He was des Oorat-had always been
democrat; he loved his party, and desired TO
see it succeed; TO succeed, an organization
mus. be maintained; all who had been party
men as long as he had, knew it was impos-
sibIe for every one 10 have his first choice
in candidate; he had voted for many men
who were net his FIRST or second choice, be-
cause they were the nominees, and he
would do i, again; and regarding Stephen
A. Douglas as the nominee OF the National
Democratic Party, though not bis first
choice, he should support him. (Some
cheers and few hisses.)
Having nerved himself to this desperate
undertaking, and successfully accomplished
it, the Major subsidized into dryness, talked
little more about the nigger-abou, the
Jackson resolutions -Squaiter Sovereignty,
and closed with an appeal 10 the party 10
support the party nominees. Divisions
were stalking abroad through the land, the
glorious old party might go under, and a
dissolution OF the Union follow, but what
ever took place elsewhere, he conjured them
in the hame of God, 10 preserve the demo-
cratic party in Missouri.
The Major put the case pretty strong,
when he placed party success in Missouri.
and his own election, over and above the
perpetuity Of the Union. Having swallowed
Douglas, for the sake OF the party, and hav-
ing slight personal interest in the result, in
common with many Of his hearers, we beg
TO stand by the Union, though it should re-
suit in his defeat, and the breaking up Of
the democratic party in Missouri. The
latter is already accomplished, and the for
mer is only question Of time. Both events
will strengthen the Union!

reading some extracts from Douglas cele.
bra,ed Free Por, Speech: Major Jackson
stood en- The Missouri Platform, which re-
pudaed Squatter Sovereignty, and swa-
lowed Judge Douglas, the author Of Squat
Ter Sovereignty. He stood on the Dred
Scott Decision, and swallowed d ,usIa. who
held that Sauatter Legislature wa. ,u-
perior TO the Supreme Court! He was al
most sorry be had forced hi, worthy com
petitor into such ..au unpleasant position,

thirsty, took to The Court House yard
This was bad treatment to a stranger. He
spoke at some length-went for Douglas
though not his first choice, and made
strong appeal TO the party to support the

He iss pleasant speaker, seems TO be on
excellent terms with himself, and was ap-
parenty impressed with the idea that his
chief business was 10 show his country cou-
sins how nicely city chit could talk about
democracy. II there was the reno
test pc ,slbiity Of his election, it would be
well TO institute an investigation into the

Our "bold and manly" Representative,
Gen. John B. Clark, next took the stand
The General, though looking exceedingly
well, was laboring under severe hoarsness,
and in no condition TO speak. He referred
bis constituents to g speech delivered in
St. Louis, which had been published, for
an account Of his action ct Charleston and
Baltimore. He accepted the nomination of
Douglas, though he Tough, against it. He
was not his first choice, but having gone
into the Convention, and failed TO get his
choice, (and he might have added, his plat
form, he felt in honor bound, to abide the
result, and he called upon oil good demo-
