The question (says the Bulen) as to the utility of so

which time a gold dollar was hastily prepared by Mr.
Gobrech and srack at the Mint, chiefly illustration

objections hitherto urged against such coin have lost

receiving much larger amounts in gold than in silver

This speech will not reach YET for two three days
But in the time, do not hesitate to say that the
positions taken by the senator from Missouri directly
contrary to that great principle of nonntervention, on
which Gen. Cass and the majority of his friends fought
the last campaign His is directly in the teeth,
too, of that spirit OF compromise which the consttu

adjusted We know not how far California is about to
assist in cutting the knot, and settling it for herself But
if the question is opened afresh at the session of
Congress, Mr.. Benton is doing than any other
politician in this country procrastnate and embtter the
controversy.
Col Benton orgets that the Union consists OF
federacy of sovereign States; that its basis is equality
and that each is entitled to participate in the benefits of
the Union well bound TO participate in its common
burdens If his positions correctly stated in the above

the slavery agitation of the last two years has
forced upon the country. From the first moment we
took the ground of n-inteventon, and have main

doctrine of the democratic party General Cass advocated
in his Nicholson letter. and the Baltimore Convention
