CtWhile the resolution for the benefit of soldiers
in the army was first under consideration in the U. S.
Senate, short time since, Mr. Benton remarked that
the Senate "wos deliberative body. and when he
first here the fathers of the republic whom he
found here told him that inconvenience or other
bad result sure to follow the adoption of any
measure passed principally upon an appeal to their
feelings of generosity or sympathy, and without the
customary forms of inquiry and discussion There
is great deal of wisdom in this remark and it should
never be lost sight of. We know that fagitious
measures have sometimes been passed through egis-
ative bodies under the pretence of sympathy for par
ties affected, but which designed for the most
wicked purposes.
On the same occasion, Mr.. Benton said that
an man was more DESTROYS that justice should be
done the army than he was, and be wished to take
advantage of the present of Its popularity for
that purpose He had often said, and he wished the
fact remarked that the men who fought at Monterey,
at Palo Alto, and Ell Resaca, the same who had
conended so long amidst the horrors Of the swamps
and hammocks of Florida.
There were tunes when the bravest could not
command success. Dir. Benton then pointed out in
forcibe manner the advantage which the navy had
over the army in the matter of prize money. The
officers and men id the former were entitled to the
value of the public property they had captured and it
had often happened in the of history, that
when fortress taken wholly by land forces, the
officers and sailors of squadron fleet that might
be in sight, received the value of it in prize money
though they had not fired gun. He gave several
instances Of this occurring during the last war.
Iowa SENAToRs.-We learn by gentleman direct
from Iowa city, that the Legislature had, in Conven-
ton, gone into balotng for the election of u S.
Senator The vote stood as follows:
Jonathan McCarty CPossun) %
Wilson (DemocraD %
Mitchell (Whig)
Consequently there no election, and the Con-
vention adjourned 1t is supposed that the Democrats
will refuse ballot further during this session. because
of the refusal of certain Wings representing Demo-
cratic districts, to obey instructions to vote for
Democratic candidate for the Senate and also because
they fear that by union of the Wings and the possu
Democrats, McCarty might be elected. The last con-
siderations ought alone to be sufficient for the cleo
tion of such person McCarty would be altogether
infamous. We should very ;nuch prefer the election
of any decent Wing TO such as McCarty. The
right course, however, under the circumstances is to
postpone; and this course will be adopted by the
Democrats.
