JOuflTt,
ScoH and BHtton.-Uu,er this head, the Rirhmond
FhS of Tuesday last, contains article commenting
upon the correspondence recently published between
W.T. Scott and Mr. Benton the former Representative,
and the latter Senator from the State of Missouri in
relation TO the late election o President which deserves
tn be attenvely read. We regret that want of room
prevents us from transferring the article into our CO
luInns. The Editor has taken lust and persricuous
view of The difference between the acknowledged rights
al constituents 10 instruct their Representative i'm ordi-
nary matters of legisato and that which was in some
instances assumed in the recent election of President;
and SO far the letters published have enabled him to
GO. he has defended the pursued by Mr. Scott
IN the most angle and able manner. But the igo let
ters which found their TO Nashville, do not EN-
brace the OhOLe CORES pondence; should ourselves
have copied those letters, but from knowledge that
there is third letter in existence being the yepiy of
MIR. Scott to Col Benton. which we have no doubt
VIII be gwen to the public, by the former, the no
nent he has an opportunity of seeing the garhed
publication which has been made. This third letter, If
we are not greatly mistaken will place Col. Benton's
''Bombardinon" epistle in its light and supersede
the necessity of any other defence of Mr.. Scott.
