A correspondent of the St, Louis New Era q,

II desire you to call public attention to the fact,
that THos, H. BENTON. Senator in Congress from
Missouri the hard money advocate, and enemy of
all banks, has, since his arrival in Missouri. the
present season, obtained loan from the Bank of
the State of Missouri, to the amount of TWO
THOUSAND DOLLARS! What can the honest
portion Of his friends say TO such conduct! If the
Banks are such swndling institutions as he repre-
sents them to be, and he has induced many of a.
believe they are, how Gun he far forget him
elf as to deal with them--to borrow from them
and to put their filthy rags in circulation amongst
the people"
Col. Benton's haired for Banks, is something sim
liar to that of loco little further up this way.
who has recently been elected to Congress. He.
like the COL, goes to the Bank and borrows money,
but just after doing so, his contempt for banking
uper atoms becomes excessive, that he can't gel
his consent TO "pay the calls!" Some of his
friends about here wish, we apprehend, that his
contempt had been excited before they were called
on 90 endoyIs. Wa don't kaoT ,ho'

Gentlemen: Your kind letter of the 2lst ulumo
came duly 10 hand. The subject on which you ad-
dress me look upon as one ct the greatest imp0r-
lance to the people OF this country, though have
generally refused to answer the numerous queries
addressed TO me, generally from my political enc
mics. knowing they were intended to inJure me
with the south. In my letter, however, to Judge
Morris of Massachusetts, which he had the liberty
TO use in any way that he thought proper, ercept to
puLish | expressly state my views on the abolition
question therein state that joined an abolition
society in Richmond at the early age of eighteen
that have seen reason to change my views on
the subject SINCE Aud will now further state
that believe Congress has full and complete pow
or to legisate on all subjects relating To the Dis
trict of Columbia, and should use ttIut power by
abolishing slavery in the District. And although
Congress, perhaps, has no power to interfere with
slavery in the several States, yet so anxious am |
TO see this immense evil put down, that | would
willingly sign bill, should one pass Congress, up
propriating all the surplus revenue for the purpose
of purchasing the slaves, or for indemnifying the
States that should voluntarily abolish the system.
The appropriating the surplus for this pur.
is no new idea with me- II is one have long en-
;ertnineh, aad have more than once so expressed
myself, and hope yet 10 live u so desirable an
object accomplished.
You are aware, gentlemen. that this is deli
cate subject for the peace of the south, and what
ever is done should be done with much caution. -
You probably have seen my letter to Mr.. Lyons OF
Virginia. You will, of course, know what kind of
construction to place upon that written, as it was
TO a southern man, and slave holder. have re-.
fused gentlemen, to make promises or pledges to
any great extent, during this canvass; but the great
contest is so near at hand, have no heststion in
declaring the above as my sincere sentiments, and
hope you viii find them TO accord at least in part,
with your own.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
-. Your obedient servant,

In addition to this transmitted to yor
such documents and speeches as suppo

Mr.. Bolts, Of Virginia, presented TO Con

of the Navy, protesting against the ties
limony Of two negroes, who had been in
troduced as evidence against him on hi
trial before a court martial recently held
at Pensacola. After | had examined tn,
case most carefully, in which it Seems
the Secretary of the Navy, the Attorney
