We shall pay a handsome reward to any person or palatine who will deliver to us, any time before the electionia genuine copy of the ten bour resolutions which were prepared by a portion of the whige of this city, to offer in their late COnvention, but which were rejected by the old-hunkers anti monopolists, who now control that party. We are in earnest in this matter; and we assure the Whigs that the re. ward will be paid, not in Taylor promises, but in the real “Benton Mint Drops:, Vol. Benton 2 a Speech. The editor of the St. Louis Union has printed fo circulation a pamphlet edition- of 20,000 copies of Col. Benton's great epeech, at the - Capitol. Mr. Phillitis says: ccWe trust that every citizen in the state of Missouri, vrill rend this speech and reflec t on it dispasaiOnately. On it alone, so far as the sub ject discussed is concerned, Col. Benton might with safety rest, his political fate. It is in fact, in the main, unanswerable. Goo. Lorimer. .. . We have just learned the vote by which our friend (late Major) Lorimer was elected to the office of General ; and popular as we knew our friend to be, we must say that he has distanced our expectations. The contest was between him and Col. Buten Eltrraz—who is a Whig, in Prothonotary of this colon. ty, is Aid to Governor Johnston, has been in the Le gislature, and of course is popular. But it may be said Gen. Latimer was no new t' Richm nd in the ” iic, field, and not 'unknown to fame. We o recollect that be was a Senatorial Elector on the Free Soil ticket, but that was not a very lucrative office, nor was it calculated to produce the revolts which we wish to chronicle. We can only ascribe the popu larity of Gen. Larimer to his bon-komme, and bis democracy, for we claim him as the democratic can didate. Well, now fur the vote: Major Larimer had 622 votes; Col. Boltz had 188 votes; and thus by the extraordinary majority of 434 Larimer was made Brigadier General. May he long wear his Weakling honor ! We observe that our old friend, H. M. ILIDDLZ., of the Pittsburgh Journal, is engaged in the Herculean labor of explaining Gen. Taylor's pledges. There is no man more able to explain the General , s views than the editor of the Commercial Journal. He knows him like a book, and, besides, he has had a conversation with him on the Tariff. Some Myron Bores slept with President TYLEX, and from that slight intercourse, he was enabled to indicate the whole policy of the great Accidency. IL M. Rtn• taxies had a talk with President TAYLOR, and he is now as competent to post up old Rough and Wrong as Jona M. Barra was to expose Trutt ter be bad slept with him.—St. Louis Union. Bar Nothing has recently appeared in the col umns of the Commercial Journal, explanatory of Gen. Taylor's pledges and opinions; and the idea now generally prevails in this community, that the Editor of that paper does not enjoy the confiden'e.e of the Administration at Washington._ Certain it is, that no Executive patronage has, is yet, been bestow.. ed upcm Mr. RIDDLE, in consideration, of his early and zealous advocacy of Taylorism. Re had Old 'Zach's name at the head of the Jotirnal, when a dozen of individuals could not be found itiPittabergh to organize a Ttiylor meeting in the old Court Bottle. For some reason, to us inexplicable, the Gazette has managed to secure. all the Government patronage for this region, notwithstanding it, opposition to sad abuse of, Can. Taylor, previous to his' nomination. Indeed, the Gazette refused, for some days after the election, to raise the Taylor Banner at all. We therefore pretest against the Editor of the Journal being considered as an exponent of the views of Gen. Taylor, until we have some visible signs of the Old Chief's benevolence in the column. of that paper. We hope that our friend Putuass, of the Union, will Dot insist upon Mr. RIDDLE " ex plaining Gen. Taylor's views." WS" We find that the effort will be a (*runlet; one, to induce the whig Editors of this city to explain why no ten hour resolutions were adopted in tho re cent Whig County Convention. Has the whig party of this county changed its views, on that subject, since their Convention of 18481 That is a plain question, and easily -answered. If the whigs in tend to repeat the ten hour law next winter, they should say so now, so that the people of the county, especially the workingmen, may vote understanding. ly. From all we can bear we believe it is the in. teation of the whigs, should they bo in the majority at the next session of the Legislature, to repeal the ten hour law. Let whig workingmen who have so often been deceived by the false and treacherous leaders, of that part, act hereafter with the Democ racy, who are their only true, honest and sincere friends. • liar The work of Proscription is going on at Wash ington without intermission, This nonparty admin istration are carrying out their profession. with a vengence.

The Courier make, the following philosophicalleflections upon tho occur rence : "Strange, that in this country, where there is such a variety of female beauty and excellence, that any person can become so 'neutered with a single lump of humanity that "reason forsakes her throne," and causes the jilted ono to end his mortal career in such a shocking manner: Bat it seems that there ate, and always will be indifiduals,-who cannot with stand the crosses to which the tinman race billable:, THE Orman Mart irr Antrum—George Buck hard, living in Harlan county, Kentucky, is one of the most extraordinary man of the age, and perhaps is the oldest man now known to be living.

The National Whig introduced General Taylor's Signal letter to its readers trader the startling head of a " a Forged Letter from General Taylor," and remarked, " We do not hesitate to pronounce it a forgery—a base, contemptible forgery." • a " There is nothing like deneral Taylor in this silly letter.

Maxam. Jzirrit Luro.—We have it, on good au thority that the marriage of Millie. Lind with Mr. Harris is finally broken off on the ground of settle ment. A handsome annuity was to have been set tied on him, but it transpired that a still larger amount would have been more convenient. This raised doubts as to the disinierestedness of the par. ty and Mademoiselle departed for Paris. We have seen it stated that Mdlle.

INDIANA Dzar.—Mr. Callitis , financial agent of the State of Indiana, has issued a circular to the bondholders, requesting their anent to a proposition to defer the payment of the January inetalment of interest until the first Monday in March in each year, for three years to come; interest for the extended period to be paid at the rate of 6 per. cent. No change is contemplated as to the 'July dividend. The reason for Wishing the January deforment is that the annual payment of taxes does not take place till February, thus' rendering the negotiation of temporary loans necessary to meet the payments.

OBITIIAR.V. DIED:—On Sunday evening, June 10th, after a few hours' illness, of Cholera, Mrs. Maar Banat, consort of JOIEN p. Gums, Mille 26th year of her age. That fell-destroyer of human, life, that " walketh in darkness"—the Cholera—has thus early taken from her sphere of usefulness, the, kind mother, the faithful and atTectionate wife, and the happy companion of the do mestic hearth. There are fevi, perhaps, gifted with a more versatile and practically useful mind, than was possessed by the subject of this obituary. She was one of that class whose virtues shone most conspicuously in the domestic circle and around her own fireside. She possessed that rare vivacity of disposition that not only rendered her self happy, but enabled her to difilise the same happiness throughout the circles in which she moved. She was generous, benevolent, and frank; and in the various re lations of fifp, where this happy combination of charac-' ter was exhibited, she necessarily became the admira tion of friends, and the desirable companion of all who knew her. That she has gone to that other, that better, and tha3. brighter world, where the " weary.are at rest,".llolll3 who knew her will doubt. A fond husband and three dear children now bewail her logs. May they, in their lives, fully appreciate her example, and emulate her virtues. • [l7 Bata. Oct. J. H. Wallow will be supported fin Major General, the ensuing elee.ion.
