Mr.. Benton, in pamphlet form, 70 accompany its

Benton 50 far as he goes in opposition to slave ex

the positive enactment Of the Wilmot Ploviso as
an indispensable duty Of Congress; while BEN
ton, when defending the principles thinks the con
troversy about enaetng all goats wool which
is absurdity in terms. The Post, however, deals
fairly in giving both addresses in Su which is one
degree better than papers Of small dimensions,

SPORTING iNTELLIGENcE.-The Philadelphia
Irot-We copy from the Philadelphia Ledger Of
Thursday the 18th, the following account Of the
trot between Mac and Zachary Taylor:
The race yesterday, at Hunting Park Course,
for five hun1red dollar silver plate offered BY the
proprietor Of The course, mile heats, best three in
five, drew together an immense concourse Of peo-
Pile, and was spirltedly competed for by the sOrFe
horse Zachary Taylor, owned by MIR. Roth, meT-
chant, of this city, and by Mac, a well known
brown geding, the property Of Mr. McArdle, Of
Albany, N. Y. The latter was the favorite from
the beginning, and large odds were offered in his
favor that he would win, not only designated heats,
but The race.
Three o'clock was the hour named for starting,
but il was full five before they were OF. The
track was dusty, otherwise it was in good order
Zach led off the first heat in fine STYLE with Mac
close up, until the turn at the end of the first quar-
Ter, where the latter broke up, and before he could
be brought down 10 his work again, Zach led him
full ten lengths in tbs clear, This gap was grad
uaily narrowed in passing up the back stretch,
and in turning the third quarter the two horses
were, for short time, side and side, but at the last
turn Mac passed ahead and came into the stand
sumo three lengths in advance of his competitor.
Tms-2:3l
After lapse of twenty minutes, the horses, on
a fourth trial, got off, Mac broke up on the first
quarter, and his rider run him quite into the fence
before he could bring him down TO a lrot again,
and when he did so, Zach had made a gap of full
Ole hundred yards between them. Ali this, how.
ever, Yves overcome, as in the first heat, though the
issue was prolonged until near the end of the race,
and the heat was won by Mac by about TWO
Lengths. Time-2:30.
The third heat, after twenty minutes cooling
was called, and the horses started evenly at the
first coming up Mac broke upon the first quarter,
but was soon brought to his work again, and when
about two thirds of the way round, passed his
comnetitor. and came in full half distance ahead.
Time-233f Thus winning three heats in sue
eession, and of course, the prize.
In the first TWO heats Zach showed some fatigue,
and was hard pushed the whole distance, being in
the last quarter considerably punished by both whip
and spur His rival scarcely showed hair laid.
Beth animals were rode with much skill and judg-
ment, and all the speed in them was evidently
got out

or Rev. Frederick Baraga, a Catholic mission
airy al EAnse, is now at Detroit, experimenting
the publication Of a numberO Of devotional bucks in
the 0jibway tongue. Father Baraga has compiled
lexicon of 5000 radical words Of the same Ian
guage. This gentleman is well known in the
West, and is one OF the most devoted and amiable
men ever enlisted il the cause Of religion. Though
possessed Of large esAte in Germany, while still
a young man he joined the order Of Jesus, and APP
propriated his whole fortune to missionary abors.
He has been stationed at I4,Anse, on Keweewa
bay, Lake Superior, for twelve years, and, by his
seifdenial and talent, won the respect Of all who
have visited his secluded home. With brilliant
education and thorough understanding Of the
philosophy of language, he has systemalized the
0jibway dialect, which he states is ia It's chaTac-
ter, one Of the most perfect IN the world, being
monosyllabic and radical, like the Hebrew, 70
which, in other respects also, it bears striking
resemblance The lexicon is but one Of a series
he purposes to publish at some future day-IKash-
iRglon Republic.

ACCIDENT Or Possibly MUTINY--Capt, Curtis,
of the bark A. A. Hill, at New York, from Rio,
Reports that on July l0th lat $50 2O, lon $40 10',
he isll in with the Dutch gaot Marie Antoinette,
with six men, who reported that they were from
Antwerp for Havana and the man acting as mas
ter stated that on July 4ih, lat $50 49, lon about
4So, she was struck by lightning, which killed
both captain and mate This account, however,
did not agree with she statement given by another
man. While Capt Curtis was in the cabin, this
man stated that on the day mentioned, one Of the
sent in the main top-maat cross-ue to fuFl
the gait top-sai, by the male, and when be re-
questsd him 10 lend a hand he was insolent 10 the
officer, who went up to chastise him. This, he
said offended the captain, who also went Rlot and
attacked the male, when they both fell 20 the deck
killing the mate instantly, or rather injuring him
that be died in four days. The man in charge
pretended 10 know but little about navigation, al
though he thought that he should be able 70 bring
the vessel 10 her port Of destination, which he APP
DeaFed anxious 20 do, and rather declined any as
sisance farther than 10 know the course TO Abaeo
light This Capt, Curi,a gave him, with the dis
lance, and he proceeded on his course. From the
above statements, Capt. c. is fearful that there had
been foul play board the came vessel, and yet
does not wish TO prejudice any Of the parties, an
there might be some mistake, inasmueh as they
spoke very broken English.
