COLONEL BENTON.

1t is subject Of general notoriety, that Colonel
Benton, the distinguished Senator from Missouri,
has been for the last eight years fte most able
and efficient members of that body. He seems to
have prescribed for himself, the best cacu-
lated to secsre honorable and lasting reputation
The light skirmsh of debate he has left to others,
and local subjects which too often elicit artificial
consequence by the improper interference of the
members generally, he has, with proper discretion,
avoided. To matters Of deep and general interest,
has he confined himself and has never allowed him
self to be precipitated into debate, before he had
mastered his subject by reflection and study. The
consequence has been that his speeches have gone
forth to the world imbued with profound reflection,
and bearing the impress of deep and statesman like
research. Upon the subject of Public Lands, the
u. S. Bank and Currency, his arguments embody
a mass of historical information and documentary
evidence, that make them the epitome of libraries,
and may be referred to as lights upon these topics.
So successfully has he advocate the best Interests
of his country and fully has he given the
of his mind, auxiliary the leading measures
of the present Administration, that his name has
gone abroad upon the breath of appause-and
hereafter he will be classed among the benefactors
of the country.
Col Benton is no popularity hunter-he waits
not to the direction of popular sentiment and
then to throw himself on the tide.
In the discharge of duty he is willing to become
| u pOnccT, anu stch W sHdIe puphC ophoh, Iaticr
than to run after it. This he did in reference to
the Bank of the u. Safes. When he first moved
upon this subject and he was the first to in it,
he stood alone in the Senate, sounding the alarm
that has recently been responded to throughout the
land. Nothing daunted by his solitude, he has
marched steadily on from session to session. gain
ing inch by inch on his formidable adversary, until
his victor has become completed, in the reforama-
ton of public sentiment, and the overthrow of
monied oIigarchy that was overshadowing every
thing
Col Benton is no Office seeker-If his ambition
had taken that direction he could have shared the
honor of high places with his illustrations associ-
ates. He has preferred to serve where the indirect
action of the people gave him position--in the
Senatcs. He has made it the theatre of his fame,
and at the close Of the present session, he vOuntar
y reres to the walks Of private life, to devote HIM
self to the interest of his family.
This independent and disinterested course of
conduct, has secured to him enough for states
man be proud of: the admiration, confidence and
good opinion of his country.
From all this, a valuable and instructive lesson
may be deduced; that, the first aim of a public
man. is fidelity to his principles, consistency in his
conduct, and faithful devotion to the public inter-
est this brings with the high and undertaking
compence of public gratitude and public confidence.

What but the paralzing effect of party DISCIPLINE
What but blind and servile compliance, their
part, with the acquisitions of The Bank arstocracy,
could induce them to abandon every principle of
Justice, aud rule of expediency 7 But so il is men
organized by party, and constantly drilled under
officers set over them, become machines in the
hands of their centurons; discipline overrides judy
ment, and even conscience is lulled to repose by the
magic of lattery and the charm ofthe syren's song.

THE DIFFIcULTY WITH FRANCE.-Thes Intelligen-
Ger of Monday, contains portion of the correspon
dence, between ministers and the French gov
ernment. The letters selected by the Intelligencer
for present publication are from Mr.. Livingston
to Count de Rigny, dated August 3, 1884, and
Connt de Rigny's reply, August Z, which show the
actual position of affairs between the two govern
ments, at the moment when the annual Message Of
the President was transmitted to Congress. The
Intelligencer says" We submit it to the judgment
of every honest reader, after the perusal of these
documents, whether there has been such demon
stration of bad faith, on the part of the French
Government as to call for the extreme measures Of
legislation recommended to Congress, in reference
to this question by the President of the United States,
Now we profess to be {" honest readers" and the
Intelligencer will not impute to obsequious
Difference TO the pleasure of Andrew Jackson and
yet come to conclusion directly opposed to the
views of the Inteligencer. De Rgny's Letter strikes
impertinent and insoient evasion. We
cannot find in any of the correspondence that
have yet seen, in the debates in the French
Chambers, referred to by the Intellgencer, anything
that furnishes the slightest apology for the conduct
Of the French Government. Boston Courier.

Mr. PEcxuAM-I was amused and astonshed at
the consummate wisdom of the five great men of
Newport, as displayed in your useful paper few
weeks since, who preferred the interest of the L. 5.
Bank to the interest Of the town and the people,
whose representatives they were. 1t is well those
gentlemcns fingers were made ofiron, or they would
have scorched their knucklcs in digging their mas
ter Nicks chesnuts out of the fire. That their FIN
gers arc made of iron, farther appears by the awk-
wardness with which they feel the public pulse.

The following affecting incident, exhibiting the
maternal tenderness of a sparrow. is from the last
number ofthc New-Engand Magazine:
In North Carolina a sparrow, which had built
her nest on the matched roof of a house, was OBJ
served TO continue her regular visits long after the
time when the young birds had taken their flight
This unusual circumstance continued throug ghoui
the year: and in the winter a gentleman who had
al along observed her. determined on investigating
Is cause. He therefore mounted ladder, and
found one of the young birds detained prisoner, by
means of string of worsted which formed par
of the nest, having become accidentally twisted
round its leg. Being thus incapacitated from pro-
curing its subsistence, it had been fed and sus.
tanned by the continued excrtions Of its mother"

CorpErr, in his travels through Ireland, complains
of passing over large tracts Of that fertile island
