Logic run mad.

Some extraordinary person., who signs an.
NJ has been writing railroad articles in the
Plntsburgh Wing in favor of the Rouse Point
Route for the Ogdensburgh Road. In a late
number he thus argues against ferries -

The Ext raOrdinary sagacity OF the sentinel

The Sentinel alludes to the extreme malig-
nifty and coarseness with which the wing papers,
particularly the Free Press, have treated Mr..
Benton" and thinks its readers may be at a
loss for the reason of such abuse" So it gives
the following as the result gifts profound reflec-
tons on the painful subject
" As Benton lives in a slave state, and had some
thoughts OF going Mexico, they pretend to oppose
HIM Tor these causes"
1t is of no sort Of use, we perceive, to attempt
to elude the sagacity and penetration of the
Sentinel. We supposed we had succeeded in
involving in impenetrable secrecy, the cause OF
our hostility to Mr., Ajax Benton But we were
mistaken. The Sentinel has found us out with
out spectacles and thus exposes us to tho "vul'
gar gaze! !" " Benton lives in a slave state, ane
has had some thoughts Of going 10 Merico," ano
therefore the Free Press particularly" has
treated him with "eXtreme malignlty =

Slavery and Democracy.

The National Era, speaking of Mr.. WEE
sTER's visit Southwards, has the following qui ct
hit It De n);-l;y' -
"Mr Webster is received with great hospitality by
the people of the South. The Z mon hopes ne may
obtain such light respecting them and there pecu-
liar institutions will prevent him hereafter from in

party to save the country from Democratic rule
We are unable to comprehend the logic OF such hope
unless, indeed, Democracy and Slavery be one and

The Era will probably live long enough to
discover that Slavery and Democracy if not
one and the same thing, work for one and the
same end.
