The Hollywood Cemetery, in the vicinity Of
Richmond, is to be dedicated, Monday next, on
which occasion an address will be delivered by
Oliver P. Baldwin Esq, Editor of the Rcpubli-
can. The site of tins Cemetery is admirably cho-
sen, but has been objected 10 by some, as being
too near the city, and likely 70 be required for
building ground, when its population increases.
1t would be difficult TO conceiveany thing superb
Or, in picturesque beauty, TO the view from the
top of the hill, embraced within the limits of the
Cemetery. On this spot the Directors have ten

of such height. The action Of the Legislature,

COL. RE\TON

We have not yet seen a full report of the
speech Of Col. Benton, delivered at Jefferson CT
ty, the capital of Missouri. We give few ex-
tracts which we find in the Wing with Slight
comment of that paper thereupon. There are
few persons familiar with the political history OF
the last twenty years, who are not aware OF the
intense hatred entertained by Col. Benton for
Mr.. Calhoun. With knowledge Of the feeling
under which. they put forth, his statements in
regard TO the Of the great statesman Of tie
South will be received with much distust. Ar
rogating to himself the mission Of vindicating the
truth of history, he falls into fragrant errors him
self. But we leave Mr.. Calhoun TO vindicat6
himself-a task TO which he is fully competent.
The speech of Col. Benton may be regarded,
not only as a bid for the Presidency, but as pro
clamaton of the fact that he is already in the field
as a candidate and that he considers himself BY
tight of seniority, succession, and strength of
position, the great head of the now united and,
SO called, Free Democracy of the Union
The reconciliation, lately effected between
she two wings of the Democracy, has been
heralded, in eXulting stsains, by Southern Demo-
cratic journals, and hailed as the harbinger Of as
sured triumph in 1852 of the now harmonious
party. In thus announcing the fusion, special
care is taken to conceal the fact that the old Hun
kcrS have every where suCcumbcd, with an alac
MY winch SHOWS; al once, now nOlOW were all
their professions Of dislike to the principles of
the. Free Soil section. The Buffalo platform is
accepted, without the slightest modification, and
will be formally recognized BY the. Democratic
party in every Free State before the close of the
year. Mr.. Van Buren, first attempted TO build up
a party upon narrow. sectional, geographical ba-
Sis. He was justly denounced. The great De-
mocratic party of the Free States, which lately
rcyIled him. has with a. Celeritv scarcely Grace
full, adopted the very same basis end we of the
South are called upon, by the National organ of
the Bcmocracy,to rejoice this restoration of
harmony and good feeling 50 portentous 10 our
rights and interests.
1t is 10 this now reunited party that Col. Ben
ton proposes himself as the fitest Standard Bear
er. We believe his chance of nomination by a
National Convention better than that of any 9TH
er leader His formal accession will give
strength and consistenoe to'the reorganization Of
the Democracy.
