illiatellang, Politica anti Ncwo. SENATOR BENTON AND .GEN. KEARNEY. Of the last six numbers of the Washirigton Union several pages have been occupied with the speech of Senator BRSTON, made in secret session, when the confirmation ditto nomination of Brig, Gen, KEAR NEY' forlhe Brevet of Major General was under con sideration. There are passages in this speech which show that the distinguished Missourian has all the eloquence and fire for which' he was noted during the administration of Gen. Jackson. The following -extract from the portion of the speech publish in the Union of the 19th ult., marks the position ill which Col. Benton conceives himself to stand to wards Gen. Kearney. The sufferings of Putonizir's wife aro painted with the power of a Poet. 4 .1 hold it to be unjustifiable to speak even truth on this elevated floor to the prejudice of nnY human being, except in the course of duty and from a sense of necessity. Such is my sense at present. Con siderations, both public and private, render it nec essary now: 1 have been a friend to the army of the United States, and am not - willing to see, it dis honored. lam a friend to public lusiice, am not willing to see it perverted.

These were crimes agpinst Fremont, and- bgainst :humanity-and public jtft,tice. The publications were made—framed, like a bill in chancery, wi th a double aspect=ready for either event. But was Premont alone concerned? Was injustice to him the only wrong? stabs hoe him the only wounds? had he nobody to feel for him on this side the long and lofty _mountains which bid hint frdm their view? No widowed mother to feel for the degradation of her only son: no wife to feel herself stabbed when he was struck no child of precocious intellect, and still More precocious moral organization, to catch and to feel, in every company, every sound to the dishon or of its father's name? no father in-law—mother in-law—brethers-in-law-rsisters-in-law—no friends of early youth—to' feel their own hearts torn in this daily tearing of a near finhers character, three thousand miles off? no old officers of the army to feel mortification at this sad termination of the mil itary career of a young man opening so beautifully, and which they had hailed with so much pride, as doing honor to a professiOn' which they themselves adorned? no friends of science in America and in Europe to hang their heads at seeing n young vota ry of science, just received into their exalted circle, Altus blighting in the blossom his own blooming and expanding fame?

There was a wife—young rind sensi tive—to whom the light of heaven became hateful, and darkness terrible, and society intolerable—who fled two thousand miles, to meet in the wilderness "the mutineer in irons," as sonic gave it out—a young wife, tranquil in the day, when the people' looked upon her—convulsed a n d frantic in the night when left to her own agonies, the heart bursting, (he brain burning, the body shivering; and I, her :father, often called, not-to witness—but to calm this 'terrible agitation. and these publications the cause •-of mill.

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord; but he has nowhere said that he reserves all the vengeance to himself; and. the sacred book shows us in many places that he vouchsafed to permit a part of his vengeance to be executed here limn earth, and even by unworthy hands. I feel myself to be so permitted, and must go on with the task which human feelings command, and which heaven permitit.". Tuft Duren-UT-rya OnFicti.--The story o f Adele larron, published in a recent number of the Knick erbocker, which turns upon some missfng letters, has brought to mind an incident related by - Frank* Granger, AS having occurredwhen he was at the head of the Post Office Department. A letter was one day received of a Postmaster of a town in New , .Jersey inclosing a letter very old arid dingy, and covered with fly specks in every part, except where -a tape had passed upon it, indicating that. it had dime fora long time placed in the - paper or, card rack of some bar-room or stilly. The superscrip tion, if there had even been any,,bad entirely faded away. The postmaster wrote that he bad found it in his letter box, and had tried in vain to discover who had deposited it there, law-der that it might re ceive a proper direction, as it apparently contained money. As it had not been advertised, it was not, in strictness, a' dead letter, but lie sent it to the cle !pertinent in order that they might dispose of it.— 'The Postmaster-General took the responsibility of %opening, it, and found that it was,riated at Philadel phia, in the year 18:21, (twenty years before,) and enclosed a twenty dollar bill of the United States Batik. /t was addressed by a mita to his it ife, at the small village not far from the postoffice where the letter was found. informing her that he (the writer) should start for home in two or three days; but that as his brother was rebuilt to leave fur home, he took advantage of the opportunity to send her by litre the 'enclosed sum of money, wherewith to make preparations for an approaching wedding. The Postmaster General caused a letter, to be rwritten to the address of the writer, informing him' of the circumstances. In the course of a week a reply was received from a female, m.ho stated that the writer. of the letter was her father, and the one to whom ftl was addressed was her mother, both of whom were dead; that twenty Years before, on - the eye of her Own wedding, she remembered that her father and uncle had quarrelled, the former barit!: been led, (rem some suspicious circumstances, to discredit the latter's assertion that he had lost a let ter containing money entrUsted to his care, and to insinuate that he bad appropriated the amount - to his •own use. The consequence was that all intercourse between the families had front that time been sus- Tended, and that-she should immediately write to, her uncle and cousins, who were stilt living at a distane,e, to beg that the intercourse arid friendship so long interrupted might be resumed; the tliscovery of this letter having satisfied herof what she lone. suspected, that her father was wrong, and reliesed her mind from a weight of painful anxiety. - Whether any farther clue to the manlier in which the letter had arrived at the office at so late a period was ever ascertained, is not known: the probability is that the letter had been picked up ut or near sonic country invent on the road, and was placed with the variety of business cards end miscellaneous - pacers which usually fill the tapes over the mantel piece of such a place, and there it had remained from year to year, perhaps concealed from notice by other pa• pore and letters, until by a change of landlord, or an improvement of the house, the landlord had dispos ed of it by depositing it in the nearest t Rome Journal. LIMS CASS ' S CHARACTER... -.The follom ing frank admissions and statements we cut from the New York Herald, an independent Taylorish press. "Lewis Cass, if he has received emoluments from government, performed sufficient services for them, in the same way as Gen. Taylor, and all others r have done before him. With the -exception of Mr. Ad ams, every ono of the candidates has been in the sert ice of the government, and.bas received monies from the public treasury; With regard:it) the pri vate character of Gen. Cass, we behA r lijat even his enemies will acknowledge that it is pure, honor able and unspotted. It can benefit no cause, rind l eas t o f all that of Gen. Taylor to treat Diu] write trf Gen, Cass as we would of the veriest. pirlkpocket for trial before Recorder Scott at the next term of the Sessions," ADAM HUNTSMAN OF TENNESSEE. This distinguished democratic politician OT Ten nessee, formely a member of Congress from that state, took a Taylor shute when old Zack first came upon the political turf as a no party ctindidate, for the Presidency. But since the General has come out and declared himself a whig, Mr. Huntsmontis abandoned him. In a letter to the Jackson Demo cratle!Club, he says: I el i de of 'General Taylor favorably until be came 'out in.!' 'letter that he was not an Were whig. Now whether this means that be is a soft while, or a ten der-fooled ;whig, I know-1 care not.. Of all the politicians Which exist, the soft or tender-footed are the most obnoxious to me. Instead of being a no party man,as he at first declared, it turns out that he belongs to the tender fouta whig, party, as he himself sho;ws. I never did,, nor never will vote for a politiesl offi cer, who will no come out frankly with his opinions upon all subjects connected with that:office. !rite has got no opinions, then I consider him a fool' upon those subjecs: if he has any, as our government is peculiarly I,iatuled upon the opinions of the people, we have a right-to his, if ho wants to conducthat t government as its chief. I never wish to see a man exalt himself to such a high and mighty pos\ ion, in his own estimation as to refuse to give his opin ion to his countrymen, when he is asking the to confer office upon him. This is precisely or.w irse than the practice of Kings, and should be scoitted by every non in a free government. We should never vote far a man, who would not condesceL i d to inform his countrymen of his opinions. Since I have seen Gen. Taylor's letters and cor respondence, they have convinced me that he has no qualifications to discharge the duties of chief mar.- istrate. As Daniel IVebster says, hr is a ntereinTl ito ry multi tall hat capacity he will always do hon- - or to himself and countrv.- to my I am are of embet• s been !False udulent tiou; I am personally acquainted with Gen.

A!linore, but if sp I s hall vote for Cussai d Butler. In doing so skier that I inn carrying out those detnocratic triries, which I have been advocating for forty and expect to die in that faith. TATI.OR'R SOUTHERN FAVE.--Mr. Benjamin, one of the Whig electors for the State of Louisiana, af firmed, in a speech at Baton Rouge, General Taylor's own resilience, that the old General was "all right" upon the hitt% ery question, adding, '•I can 11-sore my f' Clow citizens here that Taylor will promptly veto any thing like the Wilmot Proviso. 'The interests of the South are safe in his hands." It is evident that v hilst General Taylor is repre sented at the North as favorubla to the 'Wilmot Pro. supporters ut the South are using every possi ble effort to persuade the public that tic is bitterly IIoSTILE to it! his Southern friends know full well, that a man who makes habitual merchandise of men, women and children, and who spends entire days in the negro pens of New Orleans, examining the mus cular proportions of male and female shires, - will not be very likely to prove an obstacle to further ex tension of slavery, should he gain possession of the White House. We commend the declaration of this Mr. Benjatnin—the near neighbor of Gen. Tay lor—to Thaddeus Stevens—uud others—who are roaming from pillar to post, preaching tip free soil and Taylor, the slave buyer, to the people. It fol lows as an inevitable consequence, that either the Northern or Southern 1V higs must be grossly mista ken a s to Gen: Taylor's views on the slavery ques tion. The 'course of all candid and honest men, ther'efore ' is to place no trust in either. If our oppa nems'aredisposed to deceive and be deceived in tarn, that is a matter of taste among themselves.

TUB VICKSBURG M URDKU.—The Vickburg Senti nel comes. to us +tiled in mourning, fur its murder • ed editor, Mr. Jenkins. who is the third that has fal len at that post, by the hand of federal murderers, within five years past. Governor Bro - Wn and General Foote were advertis ed to addressia Democratic meeting in Vicksburg. A gang o f whips, came into the meeting, and utter General Foote had concluded his speech, demanded that: a Mr. L•ilte should reply. General Foote con-' sewed, on condition that the usual rules in relation to such discussions were agreed to. Mr. Lake mounted the stand and refused to accede to atiy terms, and commenced an abusive harrangue. lle was not allowed to proceed, unless he first agreed to limit his speech to a given time, so as to all ow a re ply, The whips swore he should speak until morn ing. Mr. Luke was then told that he could not pro ceed, unless he entered into fair arrangernents=that t h e m eeting was a democratic, one, and that it. could nut be disturbed. On equal terms, GeneralTnnte wmild meet him in debate, but the meeting would not allow him to corniume all the time. Upon this, Luke and his rowdy friend; left the !mime, - For ciumnenting upon this disgraceful scene, with not half the severity it merited, a rencontre ensued, in which Mr. Jenkins was shot down by one of those w h o h a d bee n most active in disturbing the meeting.

TUE RESULT IN TILE STATE At the time of writing this,—Tuesday evening —it is not yet known who is elected Governor, so close has been the contest. It is, however, acknowledged by both -par ties that Israel ['Muter, the Democratic candidao for Ca nal Commissioner, is elected by glair and decisive ma jority. The question then arises to the lips of every Democrat, how has this result been brought aboutl—how conies it that our leader has come so near being cut down(if not actually sojthlit, with all our modern facilities for the early transmission of. news, we now, ono-week front the day of election, aro unable to determine the re sult? How comes it Mut the one is spared and other stabbed, secretly and fatally stabbed, in the dark? Un welcome as is the task—thankless as we know tike Service to be—let ours be provAnee of answering. ''Ve shall criminate no one—denounce no one—h u t state facts. We shall held up the mirror of truth to the public 4aze, and if any one shall see his own image reflected on'ta polish ed face. and like Macbeth be frightened at his own shad ow, it is no fault of ours, but of his own guilty con science. . First and foremost the democracy of the Keystone, in the person - of Judge Longstreth, have had to contend against the whig party united with every "ism" and fag-and of an "ism." which the capacious stdmach of Federalism, under whatever name it front time to time assumed, has thrown out upon the political sea. Nativ ism, Abolitionism, Free soilism, Taylorism, Whigism, Clayisin, and last, though:not least, Portcrism and Bank ism, were all combined,' like the allied powers If Europe against Napoleon, to defeat Judge Longstreth and put down the Democracy. Under the circu instal/cell—know- Mg as we do, that it was a stuggle with them nil for fu ture existence—we wonder that the good old slip of Jef ferson and Jackson is not worse riddled than oho is. We can scarcely understand how it is, when our crew were so .careless, that we ara not entirely annihilated. First Nativists, with its twelve hundred rioters and church burners, wheeled into line and charged down upon us.— Then Abolitionism, three or four - thousand strong, acted as a reserve, and when the foot and horse of whigery be. g,...... goyo wcs. utrar InaCt72s anwtought until their leaders rallied the retreating. Then a thousand or two of ban): men, with the Shylock as plainly written on their fa ceses the words "promise to pay"•on one of their notes, acted the part of the false friend, and while they smiled the most loving. stabbed the most fatal. - Thai: haie haunted our legislative halls for years—have bribed add plead for banks—for corporate and special privileges without individual liability—until they became convinced that oolong as an honest man like Longstreth hold the tiller of the ship, they could not succeed. They are cun- ning, sagacious men—toe sagacious to turn whig; for I then, being!known, they could accomplish lOthing.— Besides, there are many fat o ffi ces in the gift o the gen eral government, and who so capable of filling thorn as, these same bank gentlemen? No, Whigery, Nativism and Abolitionism combined, were not strong enough to have defeated us, if we had had no traitors in o ur camp, and this the election of Painter fully proves. 2.lfr election would not endanger the forty-three bank charters to be granted this winter. lie will net stand in the Tway of a General Banking law, or the passage of a general cor poration bill. Hence he, escapes the secret political elil lotto of these special privilege advocates. -rh i , name of Taylor has had nothing to do with.this result. If it had, Middteswarth, as good a Taylor man as Johnston, would not have been so far behind his file, leader. No, in No vember a different result ,will bo produced. it is true, thou, as now, the Native American hosts will b o r brought to the charge, side by side, with the whig nrmv, but the Abolition sharp-shooters will be wanting—the +free soil" men, or a large portion of them, will desert and take to the road under Van Buren—the bank men, having ac complished all they enlisted for, and knowing - well that in the whig ranks new recruits stand about as much chance of promotion as a private soldier in our regular army. will bo the loudest and fiercest in their assaults upon their recent allies. In November we will have" no Judases iii our camp—our men, th e people,, will bo burning to wipe • out the disgrace their- supineness _has, in a measure, brought upon our ancient commonwealth,. and, from now until that time net a stone will be left titurtied.— We know the whig party well—a small success turns their heads, and like weak men suddenly raised from poverty to effluence, they "Cut such fantastic tricks before high Heaven As e'en to make the angels weep." ( No...with the Pennsylvanian, wii say the nuMe of Tay lor did nothing to produce the result wo all deplore, and we shall prove this fact by our triumphant Democratic majority in November. Wo can now see our weak points, and will no longer be lead off by the :More ap pearance of party prosperity. HencoforWardl i let every Democrat work without ceasing for Cass and Butler.-- Let us act upon the example of Napoleon, whe w remind ed by one of his captains at Marengo, that the battle was lost. "Islo,""ho replied, "it is not a battle lost; it is a bat tle won;" and falling upon his rejoicing loos, hic put them utterly to rout. lot it'be with us. We nAst not be disheartened by recent reverses, but, gathering courage and confidence from our principles and our duts'., full up on our opponents, drunk as they aro with exultation, and Wipe out the font stain that has been inflicted upon the democracy of Pennsylvania, by giving them a Chem :base° defeat. 97' The Chronicle congratulates itself upon the fact that Mr. Campbell "done well" in his own counts'. Pos sibly, but not quite as well as' ho anticipated. Long streth's majority was only 109 more than Thompson's, whereas the Judge done 88 better in this county, 27 bet tor in Warren, and 7 better in Jefferson than liongstreth. Mr. Camlibell did not anticipate five hundred against him in Clarion, and put down Jefferson for nth). SO confident was he of such a result, that, ea .the ni g ht of th e e u e _ tion, after receiving four towns, he wrote to ltis friends hero, that such would be the result, so far as Clarion county was concerned, whereat whigery rejoiced with exceeding great joy, and if it had not been for same of the cooler heads of the party, would have get up a jollifi cation. But alas for all political calculations, the next mail turned their congressional victory into a Waterloo defeat: Done well in Clarion county. Mr. Campbell un doubtedly did, big Thompson's majority, notwithstand ing, will be greater than ever before.

Taylor's organ, the editor of which wrote his second Allison letter, has the following : . "THERE IS NO MAN IN THE SOUTH MORE BITTERLY OPPOSED TO THE WILMOT PRO VISO, AND THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVE:O IN IT THAN GEN. TAYLOR." Northern whigs, what say you to the above ? You are attempting to prove hint a Wilmot Proviso abolitionist, and the South aro attempting to prove hint a good south ern whig—that is opposed to the Wilmot Proviso, and in favor of extending slavery. As evidence of this, read the following, which we cut front the Rochester Amer. ican "There is no whig of the south, more favorable to the principles of Fres soil than Gen. Taylor." Now, which should know the sentiments of Gen. Toy tor, the editor of the Picayune, who has been traveling with him, and is really his political letter writer, or the editor of the Rochester American, who never saw Gen. Taylor or heatd of him previously to the blood-hound farce in Florida, or after thnt time until sent to Mexico'? The Now Orleans Pleat tide is not alone in ascribing to him opposition to the WilMot Proviso, ; Every south ern paper without an exception—every southern orator, front S. S. Prentiss and Bailo Peyton, down-In ihat blur die of pomposity and egotism, Gen. Leslig' doembs,. o f Kentucky,. also assert the sumething. Reason and co ' mon sense ought to Ce - ach everY mun that Gen. Taylor' is not in favor of this measure. And 't et tholtecheste r American is not the only northern paper engaged in this disreputable 'game of deception. All its coteMporaries, north of Mason and Dixon's line, reiterate the -aitie im probable statement. Every whip orator we- have heard during the campaign, has put forth the tIiIIIJC. Now what a deception,is here 1 These northern men know their statements to be false—they blow they are humbugging the people—that Gen. Taylor, n the - language of Bailie Peyton, is the owner of three merited pledges, in the shape of negroes, against giving countenance to the Pro viso doctrine. Why, then, do they persist in theis asser tion ?, In the success of this deception consists their on ly hope. It is countenanced, too, by their leading men of both sections—even by Gen Tay for himself. It can not he denied that Tont Corniin, Truman Smith, and other Northern advocates of en. Taylor, have repeat edly exhibited letters from that individual, or from south ern friends of his, giving the, i assurance that he would not use his influence as President, Against the doctrine of Free Territory—while his sOuthern friends are exhib iting similar &cements giving assurances eVattlY the reverse. .. urea ntry I n to n of 1 a op read, Now is. such a game es this becoming a man of hon or—a candidate who is put forth as the embodiment of all the honesty, politically speaking, in the land ! We appeal'to every man not blindeeh by prejudice or interest., We. ask the honest portion of di r e wing party to pause.be.. fore they lendtheir von s to comkiminate such a base and dishonest piece of deception. Of Gen. Taylor as a man we have nothing to t;ay—as a politician, we think the present contest will show him adopt in dishonesty and nn scholar in whig policy.
