Bo far, the Whir in the Legislature of Missouri litivitstood firm to their candidate. They evidently don't believe a word "Oa Bullion" says; and they are right. If be* was in favor of spe?eific duties in 1846, as he says he wu. why in the name of Bentaniapiem, did'ot he make it man ifest? Why as 'silent, when his voice was much more potential in the astute than now? Then he was the live lion, at whose roar all trembled; but now, what is he? The shorn as,, at . whose 'bray every body laughs. There is such a thing as men outliving themselves.
