 DEAF AS A PosT, AND DUMB AS AN OYsTER-In the last Gazette. Mir C. P. Bertraad yapors valor- ously about the speech of Col. Rust, published in late Banner He seeks to make the impression that the speech was not delivered, and says lie did not hear it. That the speech in substance, was deliver ed in the House, is doubted by no man, who knows any thing of it's author, or the circumstances And there are those who were present at its delivery, who, judging from the small dimensions into which he contracted hmsef are of opinion that MT. Der traad not only heard 1t, but that every word fell like cow-hide on his carcass. If he did not hear it, he found it as comfortable to be deqf he evi- dentIy deemed it prudent to be silent. "As sheep is dumb before her shearers, so he opened not his mouth." Now that Col. Rust is at home, some hun- dred or two miles distant, our "Knight of the Ayes and Nays, has miraculously recovered both hearing and speech.
