COL. DENTON.

The Lou lsyIlle Journal Of the 2th inst. announ-
ces the arrival in that city Of Col Benton and is
departure shortly afterwards for 81. Louls. We
suppose the Colonel has heard of some disa Election
IN tle ranks OF his party in Missouri and, contrary
| 10 his usual custom, has brayed the terror ofduns
and lawsuits, by going home for the purpose If
possible of preventing serious DIVISION the party
10y which his own reelection might be endangered
II is stated that Gov Boggs, of that State, thinks
that Col Benton has been Senator quite long e.
nongh, for good Democrat, who subscrbes the
doctrine of rotation in ohice-forgeliul, il seems
hat the practical recognition Of this phi ncp le by the
modern Democrats extends no farther than TO be
ira nslered flom one office to another. Col Benton
will doubtless be very willing to xchange the office
OF Senator for that of President !; or if he cannot
mount quite high, he may consent to supersede
