The St. Louie Democrat'oi the l&tb has
an article upon the results of the late action
of the Missouri Legislature, in thecommenc
tmut of which it speaks as follows of the
feeliug of the Legislature and the Missoori
aat generaiiv in respect of the Missouri
Compromise and the AtchUon gang. We
hope it iff all true, for it augurs more res
pect and public faith than such papers as the two

"A »e»«iioii uf the Legislature, more than

ues to pour out its "grape*' among the of

wo make the following pointed extract:

a swindler. Aud yet, Green. Benton, llentu

very tiling. Thcv pretend to issue the bills
uf the Western h'irc and Marine Insurance
