MR.. WEBSTER AT The WEST.
Mr.. Webster has been received with
open arms by the people of Kentucky. In
MaysvIle, Paris, and Lexington, The citi-
zcns WED with each other in paying him
those marks OF respect, to which his public
and private virtues so enlilc him. He was
expected To arrive in Franklorlon, Tues
day last. The Frankfort Commonwealth
says :-Ih Versailles, preparations are IN
progress, 10 give him such a cordial wei
come as will become the people ol Wood
ford TO rive, and Mr.. Webster to receive.
We need rot say that in the Metropolis Of
the Safe, all will hail with heart felt pleas
ure, the visit Of the great defender OF the
constitution.
BENToNisM IN GEoRGIA.--The Washing
ton (Ga.) News gives the following ac-
count OF the progress OF The humbugs in lis
region:
In this quarier-parlicularly during
hot sun shiny doy--it would amuse phi
losophic mind 10 observe the industry and
activity with which the Tom BentORs are
putting their "balls in notion" With
their heads poised on the earth and their
heels in the air, they way The kick, -four
ish, roll & tumble, & advance by retrogrdde
movements would even surprise poor Crock
eli himself, were he living His motto,
good soul, was, $50 ahead. But, the
Benlonians reverse it, and go otail. The
little creatures, we presume, are preparing
for hot canvass, at the approaching gen
eral elections.
SOMETHING NEw.-The great Globe
has taken new motto; and what does the
reader suppose it isl "Ihe Supremacy Of
the Latcs and the ConStitution"lu Very
good indeed: but why didn't the Globe think
oil this when President Jackson repealed the
law Of 1916, by Treasury Order, and
trampled on the constitution by wrestling
The public purse from the custody Of Com
gress' II becomes a champion of law and
the constitution, 1t seemG, only when the
government menials can make nothing by

following in the footsteps Of the departed
Chief, or he will find himself, in very
| short time, in a small minoriiv-that lie
must abandon the gold humbug and Treas.
ury Order or that he, the Hon, would be
forced into the opposition.
We know not what credit may be attach
ed 10 this rumor, but Of one thing there can
be no misake--ihat the little senator was
deeply cut by the contemptuous treatment
which his bill received from the Executive
and that he is open moulhed in his conden-
nation OF that treatment-and that some of
his very near kin, and many of his intimate
friends, are as violent as any Wings in de-
nouncing Benton, reprobating the usurpa-
ton in the Specie Circular, and otherwise
cavillng at the wisdom Of Van and his
culinary advisers. Richmond Vhig.
