We believe ours is the only paper that ever
gored Mr.. Benton TO the quick If we thought,
in doing it, we had not done the country ser
vice, we would repent, But the act of which
he was guilty was inexcusable. II was subver-
sive of Senatorial honor and dignity.
His resolution is in Io-day's paper. His re-
marks we understand he is writing out for his
Globe. We are ready to answer the resolution.
His remarks, whatever they may be, will be at
tended to in genteel way. One thing is Ger
certain. He is guilty man. We have forced
him to confess.

delunct Clay party in Virginia, few days since
published Mr. Benton's bullying attack on the
Administration, in relation to the surreptitiously
copied letters, which We're solicited merely for
examination" The Wing gave not one word
of Mr. Merrick's remarks ON the occasion.

We have seen, in several Of the abolition pa
pers, letter purporting to be written by three
runaway slaves Samuel Jackson, George John
son, and Bartlett Holmes, formerly Of Richmond,
Virginia, now of Canada, making most indie
cent and false attacks upon the private charac-
tiers Of Mr.. Bolts and Mr.. Wise, Of the House
of Representatives
Whether these are real or fictitious names we
know not, and it is unnecessary TO inquire. The
letter i, said to be extracted from the Toronto
Herald, and was doubtless written by any other
pen than one held by an absconding slave. The
publication of such scurrity is proof only OF a
fact well known, that papers pretending to be
peaceful, and even religious, in their tone, are
often more vituperative, obscene, and reckless
in their attacks upon private character, than
are the most heated political newspapers In
this instance, the impulation upon Mr. Wise is,
that, "iohen Il member Of the Legislature Of
Tnginia" they knew him to be guilty of lewd-
ness and dissipation. And they charge Mr.
Bolts with bad morals in his domestic relations,
and continuation of vicious habits =" 'tH the

WHO WILL BE THE OPPONENTS OF
THE ADMINISTRATION

Mr. Clay can boast his worshippers, who can
by no argument be detached from subseryience
to their idol; United States Bank can equally
boast friends too interested in the resuscllatlon
of the monster to abandon their old affections
but reiterated proofs have been given that the
knowing and the deceived abeters of the man
and of the monopoly, when united, do not constl-
tute a majority of the People Of this county,
The friends of Mr.. Clay will no doubt be untir-
ing as they are rancorous in their opposition to
the Administration. They have already re-
ceived their orders from the dctators, the
friends of Bank will be in the opposition, be
cause they cannot expect the establishment OF
their favorite remedy for the financial evils OF
the country, while the present Administration
remains in power. From determined Clay men
and ultra Bank men, il cannot expect support.
From all those ranking under these denomna-
lions, no matter what other ultra principles they
profess, it can expect no favor
But by the moderate men Of the nation,
by the men who have not been phrensied
through the slimulant Of partisan passion, by
those who regard the good Of the whole coun-
try, by the consistent disciples of the old Jeler-
sonan school Of Republicanism, on what ground
will the measures and acts of the Adminslra-
ton be opposed, while it adheres, as it has hith
erto done, TO the faith it processes? When it
abandons that faith it will not dare 10 look for
support from those on whose favor it now de-
pends While it strives honestly and faithfully
to bring to an amicable and honorable ADJUST
meut our difficulties with foreign powers-above
all, if its efforts prove successful; while 1t ad-
heres TO the sound doctrines Of discriminating
in favor of our domestic products, though it re-
sists the imposition of duties beyond the requi
sitlons OF an economical revenue, while it op-
poses distribution as long as the wants OF the
Treasury require the proceeds from the public
lands, while it is industrious in keeping up or
restoring our means of defence, and anxIousy
fosters the growth and increase Of the Navy !;
while it upholds these measures and others, in
consonance with ihe true principles Of Republl-
canism, a large majority Of the People must APP

COUNTRY BAHKs.--The officers OF nearly all the

city currency. Our banks not issuing their own

country institutions for circulating medium. Sud-

now by business men, and no one receives them ex-
