at the prospect of the success of this negotiation
Mr. benton's willingness to support Mr. Cass may
create surprise but it is nevertheless perfectly

editor of a ST. Louis paper about year ago. declining

to the sentiments of MIR. Cass the slave

of Mr.. Calhoun. Subtract from Mr.. Benton's
anti-slavery sentiments his antCalhoun sentiments,
and nothing remains. 1t is sufficient why he
should support Mr. Cass if that genteman's views

that Mr. Casss friends have been at little trouble

is to South Carolina. and how widely his views differed

ridculously stupid person sent frem Maine by the CO.
the death of MIR. Fairfield will be succeed

travagant views the subject of slavery, has yet

of Connecticut.
Mr. Simon Cameron scat will also be soon vacant
1t is to be hoped the people of Pennsylvania will not
insult the country by sending him back. The Senate
has lately been overrun with such characters. This

In enumerating the various sources whence the Wash

Herald mentioned Mr.. Cameron Of those from
whom Mr. Grund of the Ledger in the habit of
obtaining news That gentleman felt exceedingly
mortified at being suspected of commu ncating con-
hientally with the slippery Senator from Pennsyl-
vania; aud am authorised to say that he is innocent
of any such connection.
MIR. Cameron supported Mr. Buchanan in the Balti-
moro Convention. The secret of that support may
not be generally known. He knew he could not be
elected TO the Senate if he opposed him. and although
at first he went over to Mr. Polk when there yet

schemes yet when it evident that there
hope of his denomination, Mr.. Cameron immediat
rated to Mr. Buchanan.
1t Ia, then, simply act Of justice to Mr.. Grund to
relieve him Of the Of confidential connection
with such man as Mr.. Cameron GALVIENSIS.
