BENToN's OPINION OF CLAY.

We know of nothing better than Colonel Ben
toms opinion Of Henry Clay. He expressed it
as follows, in an address delivered in 1924 to the
people Of Missouri. Mr.. Clay is all now he
was then; and his devotion to the principles
once thought to be closely identified with the
welfare and prosperity Of the people, and ac-
knowledged as democratic by Thomas Hart Ben
ton himself is as strong at this time as it ever
was. Mr.. Benton may have changed, but Mr..
Clay has not. Several of his opponents have re-
Gently admitted that Mr.. Clay was democrat
up to 1924; at that time they say he abandon
ed his principles and deserted true democracy
They have not attempted to produce the least
proof of this charge, unless we call the stale
and oft-exploded charge of g bargain and SALE"
the falsity of which has been recently acknow-
lodged by the very men who originated it; while
we produce the endorsement Of Mr.. Benton him
self, written late in 1924, that Mr.. Clay was at
that time pure patriot and true democrat, in
whom the country could safely repose the most
implicit confidence, and upon whom that country
should bestow its highest honors Mr.. Benton,
we presume, belongs to the "progressiue demo-
cracy," while Mr.. Clay stands fast upon the old
platform, and adheres unchangine..y to old land
marks. This will account for the difference be-
tween the positions of the two at this time. But
hear Mr. Benton. We have already placed this
before the "public eye" frequently. There is
no danger of doing SO too frequently:
:" The principles which would govern Mr..
Clays administration if elected are well known
to the nation. They had been displayed on the
floor of Congress for the last seventeen years.
They constitute system OF American policy
based on the agriculture and manufactures Of
his own country--upon interior, as well as for
elgn commerce-upon internal as we'll as sea-
board mprovements-u independence of the
new world-close commercial alliances with
Mexico and South America. 1t is said that
others would pursue the same system; IRE an.
swer that the founder of the system is the natu-
raj executor Of his o,on ,cork. That the most
efficient protector Of American iron, lead, hemp,
wool, and cotton, would be the triumphant
champion of the new tariff; the safest friend to
interior commerce would be the statesman who
has proclaimed the Mississippi to be the sea of
the West--the most Jealous promoter Of internal
improvements must be the President who has
friumphed over the President that opposed the
construction Of national roads and canals-the
most successful applicant for treaties with Mex.
lco and South America would be the eloquent
advocate OF their own independence. Stale

Nor MUCH DIFFERENCE, AFTER ALL-In a
speech made by Mr.. Cooper in Harrisburg, on
wednesday evening, at meeting TO respond to
the nomination of Gen. Markle for Governor, he
remarked among many other good things, thai
there Is no great difference, after all, between
Parson Muhlenberg and Gen. MarkIe. They both
received commissions TO fight the enemy. The
Parson ballled against the evil one, the common
enemy of mankind and the General against the
Indians, the enemy Of his country. The only
difference is, that while the General whipt the
Indians, Old Nick whipt the Parson, since
which time he has been fighting hand and hand
,cith his old adversary in the Locofoco ranks.

FROM ST. DOMINGO.
Correspondence Of New York Express.

Aux CAVES, Feb. 8, 1874.
This island now appears tranquil after the
many attempts made by the blacks to obtain the
ascendancy over the colored population. Had
they been successful, no doubt the horrid scenes
OF past years would have taken place.
Gen. REVERE Hiara was elected President on
the 30th of December last. AS far as / can learn,
things are going on very quietly under the new
administration. The President, although not
favored with much education, is man of strong
intellect, and no doubt will govern the Island
better than any other that could have been ap-
pointed. | can but hope that the Island will
improve under his administration. The Presi-
dental term is four years, and not again eligible
to office until four years after his presidential
term expires.

The REsEccAirEs.-It appeared during re-
cent trial Of some Of the Welsh Rebeccates. that
at one time fund was in progress to procure
the assassination of Mr.. Chambers, magistrate.
Several persons offered to shoot him for f10.
The subscribers thought this TOO much, and the
demand was lowered to .f5. f2 10 was raised !;
after which, some of the parties broke away
from the conspiracy, and it fell to the ground.
The prisoners add, that scheme was also on
foot among the golfers TO undermine the road
and blow up the dragons.

From MArANzAs.--The New York Courier
says: We learn from gentleman who came
passenger in the Schooner Handy. arrived yester-
day from Matanzas, that several arrests Of white
men had taken place in that city--the parties
being connected or supposed to be so, in the late
insurrection Of the negroes; great distrust of
foreigners consequently exists and, unless their
passports from the Spanish Consul at the port
they leave be perfectly in form. they are subject
to great annoyance and trouble. The news Of
the loss Of the ship John Dennison, from Green
ock, bound to Mobile, had just reached Matan-
zas. She ran ashore on Cape Antonio, ON the
morning Of lllh February; all hands saved
the ship and cargo total loss"
