one Of us two, and il is not l."
Even after an accusation so explicit, terri
fed suspicion still hesitated to fasten on a
man so eminent and so generally esteemed
as was the President But new light was
given to confirm its Justice and clear public
opinion. An old woman, who occupied a
garnet near the house, from whence she could
overlook the garden, declared that in the
morning, at the dawn Of the day that follow
ed the night of the crime, upon opening her
window, she saw white figure, like phan-

procureur general Castillon, in a vigorous

he should be apprehended and tried, accord

sible to refuse this request The first Pre-
sident Of the Parliament, to avoid scandal,
and perhaps influenced by feeling Of COM

without overtaking him. He took refuge in

II is currently reported that the Admins
tration are exceedingly tired Of Mr.. Benton,
and are preparing to make war upon him.
His demands are so exorbtant that they can
not comply with them, without subjecting
the public interests to manifest injury. It's
now seen by the President, we are credibly
informed, that the purchase of Mr.. Benton's
influence has been made at too great sa-
crifce, and that radical error was commit
ted in acceeding to one Of the conditions Of
his support-the throwing off of Mr.. Calhoun
and his, friends Mr.. Polk and his cabinet
are now said, to be disposed to cultivate the
friendship of the prescribed Carolinian, and
to win his support for the Administration, and
that Of his friends. The great question o.
cabinet consultations, we are we'll informed
is now the disposition of Mr.. Benton, and
from present appearances, it is highly proba-
BILE that he will be thrown overheard without
compunction of conscience. That Mr. Ben
ton sees how critical his relations are with
the Administration, is too evident to admit OIL
doubt. He is so shaping his course to be
ready for declaration Of war by the Admin
istration against him, and the only question
is now, who shall be first in the field, Even
tuate as this impending state of things may,
the country viii be the gamer, for the Ad-
ministration, if it holds on to Mr.. Benton,
will wear the shirt Of Nesus, and if it throws
him of, it will be in even worse position,
for il will fail Of getting the support of the
statesman who was driven out Of the State
Department, as the price Of retaining Mr..
Benton. We shall watch the progress Of the
relations between the Administration and
Mr.. Benton with great care and report from
time to time to the country. 1t is time that
the honest people should come BY their rights.

The NORTH AMERICAN AND Mr., CLAY's
SPEECH. We think the North American is
unnecessarily concerned about the publica-
ton by the press of the sketch Of the speech
of Mr.. Clay. Nobody will surely look to
that sketch as an authentic exposition of his
sentiments. The resolutions are the gist Of
the matter, and to them the whole country
looks for the authorized and formal express
sion of the distinguished orators views upon
the Mexican question. For the qualifca-
tons, if any, of the opinions put forth in the
resolutions, the nation will necessarily go to
his prepared speech. 1t is to be regretted
however, that Mr.. CLAY did not prepare his
speech beforehand, and have it printed ready
for circulation the moment he had finished
its delivery. Then the evil complained o.
by the North American would have been
avoided nv.
