EX.GoyERSoR HUBBARD, who is repre-
sentative Texan, and who never omits an
opportunity to say something in its behalf,
a few days ago was Invited to deliver an adj
dress upon the opening Of the new Cotton
Exchange at st. Louis. The business men
and the most prominent citizens of the
Mound City were out in full force and the
orator Of the day seemed to be in one of his
happy veins The advertisement given by
Ex-Governor HUBBARD on that occasion to
Texas was an extensive one, and will no

with honorably. He represented
a cotton state, great rival
but there should he no invidiOus jealousy.
Texas was cosmopolitan above all other
states. Its people were partly from Mis-.
'ourl, partly from the great west; they
came from every stream and mountain
top; 1t had men from all over the country
Commerce and trade had no traditions,
no coats Of arms, no blue blood but they
went wherever they were treated best.
You have been told" said the speaker,

her present is before us What her future is
