COL. BENTON ON ,NEBRASKA.-
In the U. S'. Ilouee of -Representatives; on
Tuesday' ireelt, - Deficiency Bill being un
der considelintiCn in Committee 'of 'the Whole;
end I thO 'generics erewded In enticiiintien of
herning 'Old Bullion' on the Nebraska: Bill:
.. ,::. .
' 'Oi'.. Bri:TON, of Missouri; Obtained the floor,
and spoke no fellows :
if any. bill to impair the Missouri compro.
_mis e_of_lS.P.,,im d__been_broug,hti n.t.o_t his
House, by a member from a slave State', or Up'
der the administration of a President elected
from a slave State, I should have deemed it
my duly to have met it at the threaliold,and
to hove made the motion which the parliamen
tary law prescribed for the repulse of subjects
which are not lit to 'ho considered. I shotild•
have moved its , rejection at the first reading.
But the bill before mei r for the two may he
considered as one, does not come from that
quarter. It comes from a free State, and un
dor the administration of a Pre'sideut elected
from a free Stpte; and, under that aspect of
its origin, I deemed 1t right to hear what the
memberemf the &go States hadtti„sayto it.—
It wus , a proposition from tberownranks,.to
give up half the Slavery Compromise of 1820,
and if they chose to do so, I did-not see how
Southern members could refuse to accept it.
It was a free State question, and the members
from the free States were in the majority and
could do as .tliFYpltased. So I stood.tile9f,
waiting, to see their lead, but with . out the
slighest intention of being governed"by it. I
had, my own convictions of right and duty, and
meant to act upon them. I had come into po
litical life upon that Compromise. I had stood
upon it - above thirty years, and intended to
stand upon it to the end, 'solitary and alone,'
if need be.[Applanse and Laughter]—though
preferring comp'any to solitude, and not doubt
ing for an instant what the result was to be.
In terms ns caustic and severe as they were
-bumorous, Col. Benton then , proceeded to ro
like the President and his - Secreraries for their
constant interference with . the proceedings of
Congress, nail their frequent attempts to con
trol and give direction to the 'proceedings of
boil' houses. Mr. B. said that the,Prosident's
opinion could only be made known to Cong
ress by.his own messages in writing: all other
modes nre,not only unparliarnentary, but a
breach of privilege of Congress. ...It is not
bribery alone," said Col. B . "attempted upon
a member which constitute; it In ( caeli of the
privileges of this House. It is any attempt to
operate upon a triemberlu vote, by any annajd
oration of hope or feat"; favor or alfectien ,
prospect of reward or screed orpunishment.—
This is perliamontarilaw—as old as English
Parlinments, constantly maintarted by the
British Muse of Commons." In support of
this, Mr. B. referred to the celebrated arise
which happened when Mr. Pox's India Bill
was before the House of Commons, 'and when
one of the lot:ils of bed chamber rope;rted
that the King was rpposed to the kill, That ho
wished it tlt4eated, and had staid that he would
consider - mar-member- his - eneroy - w ho; - wou Id
,vote for it, "The House of Commons took
fire," added Col. 8., "at this report, and he•
mediately resolved:
BEND. DARBY
That to report any opinion, or pretended
opinions of his Alajosty, upon bill depending
in either llouse of Parliament, is a high crime
and misdetneanor, derogatory to the honor of
'the crown, a breach of the fundamental priv
lieges or Parliament, and subversive of the
couttitution,of the country." ,
It is well thus to.refresh the memoriekof
Presidents and Secretaries in regard to the
,rigitta wad .privileges of Congress,,and thus to
teach Chem, their duty ; and BentOn has
done the country a very great service in thus
rebuking, in this apparently mild, but,rcally
caustic-and scathing manlier, the constant in
terference of the Executive in the doings of
Congress.
As to the President's secretaries, 111 r. Ben- .
ton treated thetn, with Korn, mingled with
rebuke ; and ; in the' language of Burke, when
speaking of the mcddlesontienessuf Chancellor
'-Tharlow, said he did rte , t,raro three jumps of
a louse for them., But it was the Union, tbo
Presidentint Organ, tbai treated with the
moat annihilating contempt. ,De spoke orthe
public printers, who get their daily bread (and
that buttered on both sides) by our gaily print
jing, These'•Ltlio publio pruners -ho said,

an en angry contest about slavery, dividing.
the Union into two parts, and drawing up the
two imams Into opposite andnonfronting lines,
' like enemies on. the field of battle. Ido not
wish to see such times again, and therefore
ant fhoinst reviving them by breaking up the
settlement which quieted them.
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 vtas..l‘;
partitioning between the free and slave States
of a greet province, tatting the character of a
perpetual settlement, and classing with the
two great compromises which gave us the or
dinances of July 13, 1787,.and the Federal
Constitution of September 17t,h, of the. same
year.. There are three slavery compromises in
our history, which connect themselves with the
foundation and the preservation of this Union.
First,' the territorial partition ordinance of
1787, , with its clause„forthe,rocovery of fugi..,
five. sin ve , ; secondly, the . cotetnpora mobs
constitutional recognition of slavery in the
States which choose to have it, with the fuli•
tive slave recovery clause in the same instru
ment; thirdly, the Missouri partition lino of
1820, with the same Clause annexed for the
recovery of fugitive slaves. All three of these
compromises aro part and parcel of the same
policy, and neither of - them l could have been
formed without the other, nor either cif them
without the fugitive slave recovery clause ad
ded to it; Tim-'Constitution could not have
been formed without-its recognition of-slavery
ht the States which chose to have it, and the
guaranteeing of the right to recover slaves
fleeing into the free States. The Missouri
controversy could not have been settled with
out a partition of Louisiana between free and
slave soil, and that partition could not have
been made without the addition of' the same
clause for the recovery of fugitive Slaves
Thus all three Compromises are' settlements of
existing questionS; and intended to be perpet:
' ual. They are all thre'e of equal moral valid•
ity. The Constitutional compromise is guard
ed by a higher obligation, in ' Minsequenee'of
its incorporation in that instrument. but it no
way differs from the other two' in the circum
stances which induced it, the policy which
guards it, or the consequences which would
flow its abrogation. A proposition to destroy
the sla'tzy compromises-in the Constitution
would ho nn open proposition to break up the
Union. The' attempt to abrogate the comprb
edam; of 1787 and 1820 would bo 'virtual at
tempts to destroy the harmony of the Union
and propaft; It for dissolution. by destroying
the confidence and affection in which It is
founded."• , .
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 is n eon
' tinuatioq of the ordinance of 1787, by- its. ex
tension to the since acquired territory west of
the Mississippi; and no way ditiering front it
cithet-iu principle or detail. The ordinance
of 1787 dificied the then territory:l)f the U. S.
About equally bPtweeu the free , and slave
'States. The , Missouri . Compromise line did
the,same by the additional territory, of the U.
States ns it stood in 1820, and inloth cases it
was done by act of Congress, and was thcrset..
tletnena of a ddliculti uht.h was to last foreve
er. 1 cu,noider them both with their Ingitiv
slave recovery clauses, and the similar clau s e
iu ilic . oom;titution, ns part and parcel of the
,: samrtransaction—different articles in the
iap.a general settlement. The anti.shivery
clause lathe ordinance of 1787 could not haVe
teen put in, as Was proved by its three year's
rejection, withbut the fugitive SlaVi3 recovery
clnuso ndtleil - to it: Tito 'Constitution could
not have 'bee'it framed arithout the -recognit lOC '
of slavery in the States which choose it, and
(he right of recovering slaves fleeing -to-the
free States:' The Missouri controversy could
not have beett Settled eicept by the prohibition
of slaveryin the upper bele of the territory of
Louisiana,
, watt..that prohibition could bet have
been' obtiiincd'wlthoue thp'right'to recover fu
gitive slavesfrom the pa 4 mule free.' :Titus
the throevnensurei are 'ono, and the ordinn . nbe
of 17'87 father to the other two. It led to the
adoption of the fugitive slave clause in the
CoMititution; and we pay septo the formation
of the Constitthien itself;'wbich Could'not have

merriment.] Five .times in ,the beginning. of
of this century did Congress refuse to
the 6111'0430 compromisirof '87.-and now, in the
middle of the century, and after thirty years
of pence, under the fliiisouti Compromise, the

sing. And how called upon? Not by the in.
habitants, not by 'lvry one human being living
cr expecting to live on therritory tb he af.
footed, but on a motion of °egress; a silent
balting,_creeping,firquintlng,
impish motion, conceived in the dark, midwife('
in a committee teem, and sprung upon Con
gressarid the country in the style in which
Guy Fawkes intended to blow up the Parlia
ment House, with his five hundred barrels of
gunpowder hid in the cellar . under the wood.
[Laughter.] My answer to, such a motion is
to bo found in the whole volume of my polit
ical life. I have stood upon the Missouri
Com prondso for above thirty years, and mean
to stand upon it to the end of my life; and in
doing so shall not only ebt according to my
own cherished convictions of duty, hut accord
ing to the often declared convictions of the
General Assembly of my own State.
It is said that the measures of 1850 super
seded this compromise of 1820. If so, why
treat it now as if still existing, and therefore
to be repealed by an exception, in order to get
rid of it? If it was repealed In 1850, why do
it over again in 1854? Wh,y kill the [lend?
'l3ut it was "riot superseded, ime"acknowledgeil
and confirmed by every speaker in 1850 that
refer'red to the subject, and by every net that
mentioned it. This being a matter of fact,
and proven by all sorts of testimony, parole,
written and record, it has to be given up,
though a test of political orthodoxy as long as
it stood, and something else put in its' place'.
Thereupon supersession was itself - I:44pm soiled
by inconsistent—"out of the frying pan into
tho fire." (Laughter.' Inconsistent signifies
inability to stand together ; two things which
cannel stand together from con and sisto. Not ,
what i; the fact with respect to the compro
mige of 1820 and 1850? Gan they not stand
together? And if not, why knock the one
down that is already down? It is now four
years sines the inability to stand together took
effect, and how do the two sets of measures
make out together at the end of this time ?
Perfectly well. They are both on their feet
standing both upright, and will stand so for
ever, unless Congress knocks ono or the oilier
of them down. This is a fact known to every
body, and admitted by the bill itself ; for if
the first is , incoostsfentowltlyhe second, and
unable to stand/. why all this trouble to put it
down? Why trip up the heels of the man al
ready flat on his back on the group' I Then
comes another reason that this compromise of
1820 is inoperative and void. If so, those
who are against its operation should be con
tent. It is id the very condition they wish it,
useless, powerless, inactive, dead, and no bar
to the progress of slavery to the North. Void
is vacant, empty, nothing of it. Now if the
35 degrees 30,eeconds is inoperative and void,
it is in the condition Of a ienile pullea drin
rind the rails carried away, and the field left
open fur the steak to enter. But tile fence is
not pulled down yet. The line is not-yet in
operative and v lid. It is an oxisting substen
tire line, nlive and operating, and operating
effectually to bar the progress of slavery to the
North, and will continue so to operate until
Congress shall stop its operation. Then comes
the final reason—that there never was any
such lino in thb world ; that it was uncon
stitutional and, void ;, that it had no existence
_Seem the beginning, and that, it must not be
rbpealdd by a direbt act, for that would be to
acknowledge its previous existeetee, and to
nullify the Constitutional argument ; and what
is more terrible, involve the authors of the
doctrine in nu inconsifitenoy of their owtt,';nil
thereby make themselves inoperative and
voi'd. And this is tho analysis of the reasons
for the Nebraska bill; that part which is to
got rid, of Gar qompronaise of 1820, is untrue, I
contradictory, suicidal and prepostereus. And
why such a ferrago of nullities, incongruities,
rid inconsistencies 7 Purely and 'simply to
throw,uponpthers—upcin the Congrese of '5O

hero settles to the bottom and in these words;
; 1- fenve it to the people thereof—Lthat is to
any, of the StateS. and of the territories, to
regulate 'slavery for themselves as they please ,
only subject to the Constitution of .the United
Btatee."
Certnin y this ie a new subjection for the
Spates. Heretofore they have been free to
regulate sla 'r
\cry for themselves, admit it d
reject it, andtbat not by virtue of any grant
of power in, tha \ conetitution, but.by. virtue of
nn unsurrendered part of their old sovereign
ty; It' also nee of the', tetritor ies, --Here
tofore they have \been held to be words of
congress, and. entit:le.trolliiiig , ufider the
Constitution,. but tha\whiett Congress extend
ed to them. But this blase is not accidentally
hero; it is to keep up the degma of the Con
etitution in . te'rritories, but' only, there in re
lation to slavery, and khdt for its admission
not rejection. „
Three dogmas now afflict Ihe land, videlicet,
squatter sovereignty, non-intervention, and no
power in Congress to legislate , upon, Slavery
in Territories. And this bill ati , serts the whole
three, ;and beautifully illustrates the whole
three by knocking each one on the head with
the other, and trampling each under foot in
its turn. Sir, the bill does deny squatter
sovereignly ; and it doesint;rvene and it does
' legislate upon slavery in the territories, and
for the proof of that see the bill and see it, as
the lawyers say, pasaim, that is to say, here
and there and everywhere. It is a bill \of as
sumptibns and contradictions, assuming ,what
is unfounded'nnireelitrailiedinO• what it as
sumes, and balancing every affirmatitin by a
'negation. It is a tee-saw bill, but not the in
nocent see sew which children play on n plank
stuck through .n fence, but the sip and dovin
game of politicians, played at the expense of
the peace and harmony of the Union, and to,
the sacrifice of ,alt business in Congress. It
is on araphiholsgical bill, stuffed with mon
strosities;' hobbled with contradictions and
hadger:ed with a proviso. [Laughter.)
At this paint Mr. Benton's lieur expired,
and tho Chair Man's hammer fell, announcing
that tact. There was.n brisk contest for the
floor. The Chairman, Mr. Chandler, nssigned
it to Mr: Weuttvorth, of Illinois, who said—'l
understand that the gentleman from Missouri
(Mr. Benton) wishes to speak but a few min-
utes longer, and I am therefore desirous, with.
the consent of the-Cinimittee, to yield him a
portion of ray.time for that purpose.' Objec
tions were here raised by a number of the
Nebrnskaites, and a running fire ensued for
sometime. Finally, Mr. VWentworth succeeded
in procuring for Mr.. B. the opportunit t y of
continuing his remarks.

Amphibology is a cause for the rejection 'of
bills, not only s hy Congress-but by the Presi

'Gbh. Jackson rejected one for that cause, and
It was less amphibological than this. It was
the last night of the last day of his last ad
ministration, And a quarter before midnight
Congress bad sent. him a bill to, repeal the
specie circular, arld juntugurate the paper_
money, of a thousand local banks as the cur
rency of the Federal government. It was.an,
object not to he avowed nor to be done in any
direct or palpable manner. Paraphrases, eh: ,
cutillocution, ambinedterity, and ambiguity
were all necessary to cover up the design, and
it was piled on until it was unintelligible
The President rend it and could make nothing
,of it; he sent It to his Attorney , General, who
,Was equally puzzled. , Ile ilitiieturned it
with a message, to. the:. Senate, refusing to.

ject this bill for the same cause, if for nothing
else. llard.is the fate of party fealty, It,
has to keep up with the over changing' mens

Under every plume they had to . .boreeeived 'tut

VOL. LILY NO 36
COLT IN TILL CAUCA'SOB6,
We find the following interesting anecdote,
illustratmg the value of a recent American
invention, in an English paper of the 18th
February: ,
In Daghestati a young Lesghl'an chief, being ,
severely wounded during one of the frequent
r'izzies of the Russians, took refuge. in A rm.',
tried, enkli,* in 'order to nriply bandages to his
wounds.. While thus employed be was die-,
covered by a party of twelve dismounted dm- •
goons, who immediately gave chase on his
'taking flight. Being fleet of foot, for a short'.
!bile he outran them, during which time such,
of them as had their carbines loaded, fired et,
him ineffectually. Having crossed one of the •
ffeiible bridges mimeo in that country, and"
which woe over a rapid torrent at the foot at,
a mountain, the fugitive, finding himself una
ble to proceed much further, and having time'
to put his arms in order, stood at bay 'tinder
projeCtind.rock.' Wilh yells of delight' and,
uplifted sabres, the Russians approached the
' bridge. The foremost nearing him cried,
•
Yield, dog l" " Not whilst I have twelve•
lives -at my girdle," cried the undau4ed,
mountaineer. The Russians in the rear now,
laughed loudly at the boast, but he in advance
fell dead, pierced through and through by a
bullet, nearly at the feet of the Lesghian.—
The second soldier stumbled over his dead
comrade, and es he rose received a shot which
caused him to fall severely Wounded. tie:
next seeing the same weapon, which , bad been
twice discharged,- still pointsd,-ruelied
but, to the surprise of the Russians, a third
shot was fired at him ; untouched, however,.
he was abdut to cut down the Ledghian, when
a fourth discharge scattered his brains on the
rocky parapet, and hie lifeless body tumbled
Into the torrent iienerith. Three of the Rue.,
sinus had'fibtv fallen. " What a devil of a
pistol is this, that speaks so often?" cried the
survivors to each other. The Lesghian stilt
stood firm, merely folding his polies° of sheep
akin round his_ left arm, ready to receive' a
blow, a precaution not unneeded, since now
two Russians;, abreast, were on the point of
-assailing. him._ Certain_of their _prey,_theise .
'advanced more cautiously than their predeces,
sore. This time two deliberate shots brought
them down right and left ; 'each tell piereed
near the region of the•heart. The remaining
soldiers were amazed. The Lesighiani, faint
with loss of blood, and feeling his strength
fast ebbing, now drew'forth anothe,pistoli tfi
moment unobserved by the enemy, and rapid 4
ly fired three shots at the group -of Russians,
some fifty yards distant at the other end'of
the bridge. 'Owing to his sight being now
dim, only one shot took effect, wounding one
of the dragoolisin the shoulder. "Let us
ili;" they cried ; " it is the Evil Spirit of the
mountains ; be would kill our whole army." ,
Accordingly they precipitately fled, just as the
Lesghinn sank down exhausted at the foot of
the rock. At it distance they ventured•to look
back. "It bath vanished in the mist," cried
Clio 'superstitious Muscovites.
The Lesghiau Chief was succored by some
of his own people, and ere long recovered
from his hurt, as did the woucded Russian;
At his bridal feast, some four months after.
the pistols which were a pair of Colt's revol
ver's, and were a gift from an American her'
Captain K—, to the youthful hero di
the - Caucasus,' were handed round 'amid the
general benedictions of the party. The bride
is said even to have kissed them, shying, "Ab,
my Deltemet, were all the brave Circassian*
armed like thee, there would not be so malty
tearful 'rnaidensand bereaved widows in Dag
hostas) I"
Tho Russian prisoner, neon reconciled by
iitid treatment, to his, position, has .had the
cruel horse Wit removed from his heel, and
has often cleansed hnd loaded 'those identiced
specimens of the fatal ,weapons, destined
effect such a revolution in the warfare of Abe
world.
The story of the deVil's piste!" was leng
told among the simple Russian soldierY4
'when conversing on their weary march, as the
winding column ‘ ascended some interminable
mountain, or when the grateful fia'intivar (leet:-
tie) gave promise of tea at the close of tliq
day's journey. Now ; the partial introduction
of the.arm among'the officers has in aome del
gree dissipated the telling effect of the - stori,
but many still devoutly. -believe that Alo
young Lesghlan z ehief was no other than ,the
Prince of Darkness himself, out on a isp 6 itilit
expedition for the eitliress purpose of bigglig
Russian soldiers. , ' '
