defeated the measure, and rendered it inoperative.
until IS 11, when it w.is exhumed from

the next must ilit to the interests of
the Soulh. alter the question of slavery. Nav,
I think his record is Wetter oti that point too,
than that of the distinguished ami ps'triotie
j.:etdh;ti>aii who is at the head of the Government.
for the purpose of placing the vie ws < f
Mr. 15uehanau in juxtaposition with those of
Mr. Met'lernand, 1 will read a few remarks
made hy Mr. lUichnnan in the Senate of the
I'nited States on the S'th of .!one, 1S44 :
"Alter mature reflection, I liow believe ,
that the acquisition of Texas will he tlie
menus of limitiuir. not enlar^inc. i!n> dominion I
of slavery. Ill the jrovernment. of the world,
Providence genendly produces great changes ;
l?V gradual means. Then- is nothing rash in
the councils of the Almighty. May nut. then, (
tin* acquisition of Texas lie the tiiO: lis of draw- j
ing the sla\es far to the South, to a climate
more congenial to their nature; and may they j
lint finally pass oft into Mexico, and thrre |
?11imi: 11 witii a race where no prejudice exists ;
against their color *
"Texas will open an outlet, and slavery itself;
may thus finally pass the Del Norte, and he i
lost in Mexico."
Xm such sentiment w is over heard from Mr. ,
M<:( l- rnam! ; and yet the paper to which I
have alluded was swift in its advocacy of the i
election of Mr. I>i:chanan after his humiliation '
for the I residem y, and litis been one of his
most clamorous supporters.

an the greatest of the snake stones.
A party of men from St. Joseph, Mo., I
while out hunting in That vicinity, heard one j
of their d );?s howl and then a groWl, a short !
distance in a thicket, and on running thither
they found Ifiid in tlio coils of a huge serpent.
They so>11 killed tlie snake, which measured i
over thirty feet in lentil. The poor dog was 1
so Itidly crushed (lift they had to shoot him [
to put him out of his misery. The above from
the Iliiuuibal Messenger, of Saturday last,
is correct su far 'i;j it goes. The snake is undoubtedly
the one that escaped from Mabie's
Manauerie list summer in Kansas It measured,
instead of tliiitv feet, folly-two feet
three and a lialf inches in Kn-ili, ;md
was twenty-seven inches in eircuuileteuco
around tlio largcnt p;:vt uf the body. If was

first attracted liis attent'on, and brought him |
him to the spot. and having iiolhinjr with liiiu i
hut :i double barreled shot pun loaded with
bird shot, he discharged both loads tit his
snalcesl.ip, but without effecting much, aiiu
which only caused the snake to tighten its
folds upon the poor dojj. About thin timo

cd the left <yo of the reptile and passed *
tiironjrli ilu! brrtin. WIioii the ball entered i
the snake's brain. it instantly uncoiled from s
thedoj; ami raised its head the full length of 1
the hodv?over forty feet. Those who wit- 1
nessed the de'fit si nicies of the snake, speak 1 v
of I hem as heilijr frightful. It liist coiled it- ,
self up in a heap nbnut the size of a lioirs- :
head, lushed the jxroii?i<l and its body with its j
tail, and as it swayed its bloody and manuled \
head, liist tonne side and then t'> the other,
the party invulunt tvily turned away from the !
scene so awful to look upon. The skin of the '
