Col. BcntOn'S speech,

This recent speech of Col. Benton on the Or.
egon line is one of the really good speeches
which come from the American Senate. IN ia
str"ct Us well as interest. 1t is'conlined ex-
ciuslveIy to the.argumcnt, but occasionly pour,
a not shot INTO the camp of Cass. A Hen e. Co.
It's the most effective speech. as an aroumont
made during the present session of Congress.
and is valuable historical document for fp.
ture inquilies.
The Senator shows that LONG eyoor;o,oo or
tue uncertainties OF p'litical life have TAUGHT
BVtr me 'sIPerncal ats OF the Demagogue lie
now shows his superiority-and the superiority
of well informed man over the unfarness and
the mere sophislry of such vapid politicians as
those he opposes in this speech. He uses the
keen edge Of ridicule, sometimes with an ear
nest yigor, against the knights Errant of his
party. N" wing could have done it better.
He thus concludes series of statements, de-
molishing the claims of the fly four forty
fives.
"Ths was her answer, refusing to take, in
1923, as Northern boundary, coming South
for quantity, what is now prescribed to her, at
the peril OF war, for a Southern boundary, with
nothing North for although the fact happens
to be that Russia is not there, bounding us on
the North, yet that makes no difference in the
philosophy IF our Ffty-Four Forlics, who be-
leye it TO be 50, and on that belief are ready to
fight.
Their notion is, that we ust 90 up to "a deg.
40 minutes, and that the Russians came lam
down to the same, leaving no place for the
British lion toput his paw, should il be no bigger
than the sole of the doves foot which sought n
resting place from Noah's ark This must
seem little strange to British statesm en-, who
do not grow fast as to leave all knowledge
behind them. They remember that Mr.. Mon
roe and his cablnct-tho President and cabinet
who acquired the Spanish title under which we
now propose to squeeze them out of the conti-
nent-actually offered them six degrees of a,i-
tnde in that very place; and they will certain-
ly want reasons for this SO much compression
now, where we offered them SO mach expan-
sion then. The reasons cannot be given
There is no boundary at "a deg, 10 minutes,
and so lar as we proposed to make it one it was
for the British, and not for ourselves: and 50
ends this redoubtable line, up to which all true
patriots were to march! aud marching. fight.
and fighting, die, singing all the while. with

Think not, dear sainted relative,
Though thou hast from us gone.
That kindred love will not survive
The lew brief years you re flown.
All! yes, remembrance ever will
Recall thine image dear;
And when thy name we mention, twill
BE with feeling tear.
Wen think of thee when spring puts on
Her robes of verdant creen--
We'll think Of thee when Summer in
Her loveiincss isseen-
Wen think Of thee in A utumn, when
The flowers fade and die
Wen think Of thee in Winter, when
We view the star.lit sky.
'Tis often that we'll think of thee;
And long to see thy face,
And wish and sigh with thee to be
In Heaven, that happy place.
But we would not call thee back again
From thy pure home of bliss,
TO all the care and all the pain
OF such a world as this.
For wealth, if even wealth abound,
But mulriplics each care,
And fame is but transient sound
That fills tho neighboring air,
And beauty cannot even dispel
The heavng of a sigh,
A nd modest worth thou knowesl wei
Unknown may live and die.
Not so in those pure realms, where
The Saints forever reign.
No anxious thought can ente. there,
Nor brooding care nor pain.
There smiling Virgins welcomed thee,
While SerOPhs brought thy crown,
And Iesus spoSc thy culosy
From his eternal throne.
Farewell, dear relative, farewell,
The pillows Of liie's sea
Are bearing those that love thee well
With noseless speed away.
We come, we come, with joyful hearts
To greet thee on that shore,
Where kindred spirits never part.
And tears are shed no more.

an informal proposition submittedby Mr.. Pack

deg. giving to Great Britain the southern point
Of Van Couver's Island, and the free navigation
Of the Columbia river. Il has not been belicv-

agreement entered into, but that the President
has sent the proposition before the Senate TO
take the advice Of that body. These are the

Liouts. Thomas and tombstone: a company of
Alabama Volunteers under General Desha,
from the command. This movement is highly
interesting because it opens the bail of carrying
the warinto the enemy's country.
Rcinoso is small town sixty miles from Mat.
amoros on the Rio Grandc, containing about
one thousand inhabitants. II is ~ valuable
point as Military Depot It's presumed that
Col. Wilson and the brave soldiers under him,
will take it without blow, at least the sold
ers fear such will be the case.
The volunteers are in good health and spir-
its; very few cases of sickness. 1t is rumored
that Gen. Arsia has sent proclamation to
Gen. Taylor, ordering him TO leave Matamoros
within given time, OF he should be obliged 10
come down from Monterey and chastise him
for remaining on tho wcsf -;-'- &c tho ne

morning of the sailing, 18Th May, when within
gunshot of the Moro Castle, the G was near the
French war steamer Ionacrre, from St. Domin-
go, bound in. She passed at first, considerably
out of hailing distance, and not much nearer
than she was to five or six other vessels, which
had come out in company. After the steamer
had run in about a mile, and received pilot.
being close to the Moo, she was observed to
back round and mannuvrc some time, and at
intervals fired two guns. She stood for the
sea, came near, aud hailed in the following
words. "You id rascal, hoist your flag"
The answer was that orders given in such in
sulting language would not be obcyed. Other
abusive phrases followed, and threats were re-
pcatedly made that the steamer would fire into
her unless il was Immediately done. boat
with lieutenant was twice sent on board with
message that unless the schooner act her flag
all the force the steamer commanded would be
used to make her do it; that her commander
had the power to sink the schooner.
An answer in writing as follows was sent to
the Commander Of the steamer: "Sir, At the
