GENrL EMLN OF THE PaEss The Louisville |
Journal says r.asr .--
considering the importance and the in.
fluence Of their labors, editors are the mos,
inadequately rewarded Of all persons. The
opinions, on which many heaven born Con-
gressional genius scars up before the admirins
gaze of the people, are frequently purloined
from the fingers of editors. The inspiration
which they give out from the points Of their
grey goose qulls, is the Delphic well at
which many statesmanlike genius drinks
before becoming grand and admired The
editors inkstand is the true Castaly OF pol,i-
cal orators, and but for it, many Of them
would sink beneath the weight OF their own
stupidity, who are now struting magniiceu,ly,
before the country radiant with the p,umage
plundered from editors. Our brethren are a
long suffering race, and do not often com.
plain Of the petit larcenies practised on their
brain. They are satisfied with ruling the
mind Of the nation, even though this their
prerogative is not generally acknowledged.
They are power behind the throne greater
than the throne ITSELF They are the magi.
clans that pull the wires of state, and your
politicians for the most part are the puppets
who dance upon them. Their Intellectual
progeny get along very well although they
are faultered by aspirants for the 'most sweet
voices of the people, who frequently serve
them as Sheridan declared gipsies served
stolen brais, namely, defile them, dress them
iurags, and then pass them of as the nm
doubted offspring Of their own loins."

HON d. r. ATCHISON,

A recent public meeting in Platte
county, adopted resolutions calling on
Hon. d. r. A,chison and Hon. w. p,
Hall, for their views on the subject of
slavery, &C. The Platte Argus OF
last Friday, says: Next week we will
give Senator Atcbison's reply to the
resolution passed at our meeting on the
4,h inst. The high stand he has here
tofore taken TO sustain the rights of cit
liens Of our State, and the implied,
obedience he has always yielded to the
instructions Of his constituents, will in
sure him welcome from every tru'
Democrat"

HON. w. V. N. BAY.

This gentleman takes the place Of
Hon. John Jamison, in the next Con-
gress. He has recently defined his po-
sition, as follows:-
81 am surprised that any person, friend or
foe, should entertain doubt in regard to my
opinions upon the highly exciting subject TO
which you allude. During the canvass |
expressed myself freely in relation to it, and
have seen nothing since to change my views.
| have ever questioned the right Of Congress
to leeislae upon this subject, and even if
the constitutional power was conceded, yet
the exercise oft. in my opinion. under any
state Of circumstances, would be highly in.
iudicous. You may therefore, set me down
as against the Wilmot Proviso, in every
shape and form in which it may be presen.
ted; and my votes in Congress will be found
recorded accordingly"

HON. ]. s. GREEN.

The Missouri Courier, gives the fol-
lowing notice of speech delivered by
the Hon. James s. Green, TO the citizens
of Hannibal, few days since
ION the subject Of slavery, he took ground
against both the consttutionality and expe>
diency OF legislation by Congress concerning
il. He also sustained the Missouri Resolu-
lions in their broadcast sense, declaring him
self at the same time as determined to stand
by the Union in all emergencies. That Mr..
Green's speech was an able one, all who
heard him will testify, and all who know
him. may easily imagine. We do not agree
with him in regard to the constitutional
power Of Congress respecting slavery, but
that difference Of opinion does not lesson our
regard for him as a sound and consistent
Democrat, nor our admiration Of his talents
He is the fsvorite OF the Northeastern De-
mocracy, and as such we feel proud Of him. y

CENsURABLE CoNDUcT.--Tuesday's
Western mail brought back large
amount of mail matter, forwarded from
this Office Friday morning. The pack
ages Of the Times addressed TO Keyts.
uille, Brunswick, Yello,o Greek and Lin.
neus, came back in damaged condi-
ton; the envelopes being off of some,
and the papers much injured. We are
utterly at loss 10 know how the Post
Masters at Keytsvile and Brunswick
could let these packages pass and re-
pass their offices, without stopping them.
And how the envelopes come TO be torn
of, is another mystery, we should
like to have solved. The canvass bag
containing the papers left here on Fri
day morning in The western stage and
came back in the same stage Tuesday.
Where was that canvass bag turned
back Was it openedl Why were
not the papers for Keytsville and Bruins.
wick kept at those officesl Why were
not the other packages suffered to 60
ont Could it pass both Offices and not
be openedl Will the post masters at
Keytsvile and Brunswick look into
this matter? They are certainly re.
sponsible, and we hold them so before
the people who have been thus defrau.

tie the matter between themselves, as
to which is TO blame, or saddle the cul.

is to blame, and the people who are the
sufferers should know who il is, in or
der that they may remedy the evil.

WAR ITEMS.

The war between the Benton and
Calhoun fac.ionsis growing interesting
The Lexington Journal has taken strong
grounds for Benton, and promises TO
take in hand his "base denouncers,
who have so ungenerously assailed him
The Flag published at Union, Franklin
county, also comes out for Benton.
Old father Boon, of the Metropolitan,
takes the lead against old Bullion, and
his paper is nniI,.ed ;eilh letters from va
rious parts of the country, nPPlauding
his bold and manly denunciSlions Of
the traitor Benton"
1t is very evident Benton is going TO
have pretty hard struggle. There is
a much stronger opposition 10 him than
has ever come to light before; and if we
were TO have an election this season,
he would be thrown overheard, but we
have no doubt but that by the time the
next election comes off he will have
cleared The field, and have the "litlle
conspirators" who are now so hot after
him, patiently and resignedly drawing
his car, as heretofore.
1t is amusing to see how complimen.
tary the factions are 10 each other.
They turn off columns of billingsgate
with ease and fluency, and are fast ma
king true all the Wings ever said against
them as party. 1t is at least some
consolation TO the Wings to be thus
endorsed, although they do not repose
the most implicit confidence in the po.
litical veracity of their endorsers. For
merly, had a Wing applied the epi,he,
of "lick-spiule" TO the friends of Col.
Benton, some loco scribbler would have
lamented the rancor Of party, and the
prostitution Of the Press from its lofty
and noble purposes TO that of persona
abuse. Now, that is a mild phrase
when the old friends of Col. Benton
speak Of those who still adhere 10 him
Nor arc his friends slow to deal GU
equally as harsh epilhe,s against theil
old associates. "When rogues fall GU
homes, men get their dues" is an ole
saw, and we trus, the Wings will prof
by this quarrel among their old enc
mics.

IMPORTANT LETTER.

See Mr.. Calhoun's letter to the Mem
phis Committee. He takes the ground
attributed to him by Col. Benton in his
Boonvile speech. 1t will be matter
of great regret--a national calamity
should this magnificent enterprise be set
aside by the demagoguical exciteme n,
the hot.heads of The north and the south
are getting up about Wilmol Proviso
ism. The building of The Pacific Rail
Road would be the strongest possible
link that could be forged to bind the
Union together, yet it is likely to be
killed off by the agitation of subject,
which, if let alone, would regulate itself;
but which, should discreet men be
thrown off their balance, and induced
to join the knaves of the one side, or
the fools of the other. will do more to
distract the country. and ultimately
bring about dissolution of the Union,
than any other which could be brouph,
forward. There is neither time nor
need OF waiting, TO begin this great
work. 1t is the mos. important mea.
sure before the country, and instead OF
postponing it to see how other matters
terminate. let other matters be dropped
while the whole country unites to
adopt something worthy of engrossine
our attention.

BENTON AND JACKSON AT
NEW FRANKLIN.

Col. Benton addressed the citizens Of
New Franklin and vicinity last Satur-
day.
As soon as il was known that old
Bullion had consented to speak there.
the Fores were warned in from every
hollow in the vicinity, and the word
went abroad that Jackson was 10 crap
pie with the Lion.
The day came and brought with it
large number of people. Old Bullion
was late getting over from Boonville, lin
consequence of an accident happening
to the ferry-boat) and the Fores be-
gan TO think he had backed, and were
getting quite spunky. Old Appeal,
came jogging along, after awhile, and
lol there was a calm! The sight Of
him had depressing effect on the spir-
its of the "little conspirators."
He addressed the people at some
length, and was respectfully listened TO-
although it was expected he would be
hooted. We understand he occupied
the same grounds as in his published
speech. After he had gotten through
and was leaving the house, a call was
made for Jackson, who answered the
call, and proceeded TO address the PEG
pie, in reply to Col. Benton. Benton
however, did not stop to hear him. bu
with stately step moved on, 60. in hi
carriage and drove to Boonville!
Mr.. Jackson utterly demolished him
of course, although we have not hear'
any one say so.
We have not yet heard ,chen Col
Benton is to visit this place-though i
is still understood he will be here, soon
We also understand Mr.. jackson
will answer him when he comes.

BENTON MUss-Good Results.-One
good result, at least, has grown out of
the Benton quarrel. We notice our
contemporaries who are battling for and
against him, are daily receiving long
lists of subscribers accompanied by tho
cash. If it produces feast for the
printers, that is doing the estate some
service" The papers will of course be
read. and The people will be enlightened
and that will be another good result
There is no paper so triAng but what

fess that their readers will have to
