COL. BENTON AND HIS CONSTIT.
UENTS

1t will be recollected that Mr. Benton has
committed himself in favor of a Presiden.
tial candidate, from the non.slaveholdino
States. 1t was a surprising announcement,
that, by which, in his public speeches in
this State, on recent occasions, he so com.
mitted himself; but the fact is undeniable.
1t is undeniable too that, in so committing
himself, he did it for the express reason
that the candidate ought not to be selected
from the slave States, and that the slave
States ought to be disregarded in the selec.
ton. In short it was virtually an ostraclz.
ing the slave States--it was making in
terms and avowedly that sectional distinc-
ton, which every great statesman. Of the
country has heretofore most carefully avoid.
ed.
When our ears were. first astonished by
this extraordinary announcement, we could
not help the impulse to speculate little
upon its effects on Col Benton's popularity
in the slave States. Since then, we have
been looking for evidences of the feeling
which it must have excited there. Thus
far, the democratic journals there have
been generally-and ominously-- 10
respect to it. Some Of them however have
at length broke his silence. The Memphis
Monitor. not being able TO contain itself
longer, thus gives vent to lis suppressed in.

| However we may honor and admire the Thorn.

own allegiance TO the Thomas H. Benton OF

In Missouri the Locofoco prints are all
of them, SO far as we have seen, as silent
asthe grave. So vountary--so gra,uitous-
an offence against the pride and interests
of the slave States as has been committed
by Col. Benton--such declaration against
his own immediate constituents, cannot of
course be palatable to them. Nor can his
democratic supporters regard it as simply
an offence against them. They must view
it as most invidious and fatally-tending
thrust at the whole slaveholding commune.

The General Association of United Bap-
lists of Missouri held its annual session
with the Walnut Grove Church in this
county, commencing on Thursday of last
week and continuing until Monday even
ing of the present. A great deal of bust.
ness of much importance was transacted.
SO large concoursc of persons as was
present on Saturday and Sunday we have
never before witnessed at any meeting of
the kind. The concourse numbered many
thousand.
The collection taken up for Domestic
Missions--that is to say. for the purpose Of
sending the preached Gospel to destitute
portions Of our own State, amounted to
about one thousand dollars. A small col.
lection was made for the Indian Mission.
The Association resolved upon making
an effort to establish in this State Liter
AIRY Institution, designed primarily for the
education Of young men for the Ministry.
To forward this object committee was
appointed consisting of Mcssrs. Roland
Hughes, Wade Nj. Jackson, William Car
son, and others. Two Agents were also
appointed. whose duty was made to con-
sist in making a tour of the State with
the view Of presenting the claims of the
enterprise, and collecting funds to aid in
the erection or purchase of the necessary
building. The Agents appointed are Ell.
ders Noah Flood and W. c. Lyon. The
Marion College edlice was suggested as a
suitable building for the purpose in view.
There is little or no doubt a weekly re-
ligious paper will be published, designed as
faithful exponent of the doctrines, views,
&c, Of the Baptist Church. 1t will be
called the western Waterman" and will
be published al ST. Louis under the editor.

The We of AuduJoa.-Mr. Audubon
married early, a daughter OF the Bake wells
of England. The family name--so well
known in this country--is a sufficient pro
nunciaion OF her probable worthiness to
share the fortunes OF such man. But
apart from all such exlraneous considera-
tons, her life is the best commentary upon.
and her sons the best illustration o, what
such a matron should be-she shared, with
a smiling bravery, all the wanderings and
necessities OF her husband. Whether the
temporary occupant OF some log or frame
howell attached to trading post of the
great southwest, where it was necessary
Tor the husband 10 take up his quarters 10
his double capacity OF trader and naturalist
or sharer OF honor, regal-so far as ar.
,Istic and scientific appreciation could
make them-bestowed on him amid the i'm
posing Injuries Of European life, she was
always the calm, wise cheerful helper as
well as sympalhizer. A noble relct oil
that almost exploded school matrons who
recognized the compact Of marriage as a
sacred unifiction of purpose as well as life
she does not seem 10 have aimed at a
higher honor than that of being the true
wife OF J.J. Audubon. In this is her great

fears and weakness Of common character
would soon have crushed the gossamer life
off his fine enthusiasm, beneath the weigh,
Of vulgar cares and approximations. ~.

ture of "Calunet,'' in which my name is

thanks to the author of the communication,
as we'll as, to my friends generally, for the
kind and generous feeling manifested to-
wards me. Though may never be able to
attain the enjoyment of the honor, which
they would freely confer upon me, yet |
shall ever feel proud Of the glorious privi-
lege granted to me, of cherishing a grateful
recollection of their kindness and their
friendship.
In reply to this Aattering call and the
urgent solicitations of friends, l am induced
to present my name before the people, to be

The candidates already on the field, seem
to be quite numerous, and in them | am hap
py to recognise gentlemen of talents and a
bility, of moral worth and eminent qualifi-
cations-gentlemen in a contest with whom,
success would be doubly brilliant and defeat
less base and inglorious. If it shall please
my fellow Citizens in their wisdom, to con-
ferupon me the Office in question. | feel
proud of this opportunity to assure them
