THE RUMOR.

The rumor that Colonel Benton will yield
TO the force Of public sentiment, and become an
advocate Of immediate annexation, on such
terms as viii be accepted by the Government
Of Texas, is becoming more extensively credit
ed in the political circles every day. We feel
confident that be will not again WELD his ire
mepdous energies against the measure. He
must BE- satisfied that General Jackson's earnest
letter TO Mr.. Blair, mutual friend, was not
q ricariously" obtained, nor vicsriously" pub
hsbed. And be must be aware that General
Jackson's opportunities Of knowing the difficult
lies and dangers OF delay, have been Of such a
nature, Of such precision, as TO preclude the
possibility Of mistake.
The rumor referred 10 has been considerably
Strengthened by paragraph in the Richmond
Enquirer, which states that the editor has re-
eeived information Of the intention of Colonel
b. to abandon his bill.
Now is the time for Colonel Benton TO acl.--
While he holds back, the enemies ofimmediate
annexation will continue 10 exert themselves TO
defeat the measure. The last New York Even
ing Post says that twenty Of the twenty -four
Democratic members from the Empire State,
are understood TO be opposed TO immediate an
neIation! Colonel Benton should throw him
self into the breach, and strive 10 arrest these
objections.

THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

We find that our censures Of the sectional
tendency Of this intolerant work, are supported
by the concurrent opinions Of others. Its recent
dictatorial course is empbatically condemned
both BY Republican members Of Congress and
by members Of the Republican press. From
among the notices Of its recen, course we select
the following;
Prom The P,krsburg (Ya) Republican.
We have looked through the January number OF
this periodical As literary work we would accord
