TThe Lexington Telegraph, since it

schemes, and whose main spring of action
is self eggrandzement" This is no doubt
true-but we much doubt whether press
who has the boldness to say SO, and looks
to the democratic party for support, will
produce bread for its conductors.
The Telegraph notices the fulsome praise
the Missourian bestows on Col. Benton in
such manner as 10 leave no shadow of q
doubt of its decided and particular antipa-
thy TO that distinguished humbugger.
Col. Benton's political enemies in the
democratic party, in this State, seem deter
mined TO keep up fire, notwithstanding
the several defeats they have encountered
since they commenced the war on him. We
incline to the belief the influence of the
Colonel will s,arve his antagonists out. He
holds the "loaves and fishes" and greatness
has ever been achieved, by aspirats in this
State. by steadily clinging to his skirts.
All who have not the capacity to gain place
and power by their own merit, will prefer
clinging to him-and this will always give
him sufficient force TO break down such as
are capable and disposed 10 think and speak
for themselves. Dur spmpathies, however,

CH1NA.-Mr. Fletcher Webster, who &C.
companied Mr.. Gushing TO China, recently
delivered two lectures in New York, on
the manners and customs of the Chinese
He states that the police of the country
are very efficient, and rogues seldom es.
cape punishment. The burglars are very
daring, and to prevent being taken, they
strip themselves, oil their persons, and put
sharp knives in their hair, the only part by
which they can be seized, so as to cut the
fingers of any one attempting to arrest
them. They never enter a dark rooms,
thus reversing the practice of their profess
sion in this and other countries.
But every thing must be reversed there.
The Chinese do nothing as we do. Their
night is our day; their west our east; two
friends when they meet shake their own
hands at each other,a safe practice, GER
tainly, where, as in China, cu,aneous dis
eases are common; their mourning dress is
white; their compass points to the south;
they put their saucers on the top Of their
cups; they are certain that the sun goes
round the earth, and they knoy that the
earth is fiat and square. Parents are re-
warded for the virtue of their children; and
indeed they have every thing peculiar TO
themselves. And of course the habits of
their thieves must be peculiar also.
