'This man, with his cha racteristic impudence,! visited the city of St. Louis, a few days before the Munici pal election, and almost instantly after his-arrival there, set to work as for dear life, to carry the election in opposition to the city administration. He made a pub lic speech the same day of his arrivat, bitterly assailing the Mayor and Alder men, and bringing wholesale charges against them. His object is said to have been the commencement, in that city, of a great revolution of public sentiment which he avowed it was his purpose to effect in his behalf throughout the State. Hence he attempted, to mix himself in the city contest, and to cause the election to turn on the question of Benton or no Ben ton. He went on swingingly for a few days, but quite unexpectedly Mr. Ken nett, the Mayor, met him in one of the Wards and replied to his speech. It was a death blow to old Bullion, who it seems, had no more personal interest in the af fairs of the city than any other citizen of Missouri. After this encounter he has tened home and shut himself up, and there remained until after the election ; and as the result failed to accord with his wish es, he is again a repudiated man.
