As the matter now stands, the French minister

But il il alleged that Louis Napoleon has, ever

think this small ground for the conclusion that

AS the differences OF LOcOf0cOlSm APP
pear to be in the way of closing in New
York, they are certainly widening in Mis-
souri,. All the members of Congress in
the latter State have taken to the stump,
with the exception Of Judge BowLIN.
Some are defending, some assailing Mr..
BENTON, and little moderation is observed
either in their praise or censure. AT Lex
ington, Major PHELPS said that Mr.. BEN
TON was the greatest man in the world,
and that he should support him in the next
canvass for the Presidency. He denied
that the Colonel had ever voted for negro
suffrage in Oregon, and insisted that he
had obeyed strictly the Instructions of
1910, while Mr.. ATCHIsoN had not.
General SHIELDS, Cashier Of the Lex
ington Bank, replied to Major PHELPS, de-
nouncing him as nulltier. 1t was thought
that the General had annihilated his an
tagonist.
Major HARVEY accused Mr.. BENTON of
cooperating with the Abolitionists, de-
clared that he should treat him as no longer
a member Of the Democratic party, but as
assuming to be the head of that fanatical
faction whose object is to destroy our do
mestic institutions and the Union itself.
Working himself up to the necessary en-
tusymusy, he finally denounced Mr.. BEN
TON as traitor to the State.
General RAINS has published letter
dated in Mcdonald county, strongly de-
nouncing MIR. BENTON and Mr.. l.. S.
EDDIs has published another, in which he
says that he has long been Mr.. BENToN's
warm admirer and supporter, but that as
the Colonel has abandoned Democratic
principles, he must abandon the Colonel
Mr.. JABEz SMITH, of Jackson county,
who signed letter of invitation to Mr..
BENTON to address the citizens of his
county, is said to be opposed to him out
and out
On the Sd instant, Mr.. BENTON spoke
at Georgetown, in Pettis county, to the
largest assembly ever convened in that
place. Mr.. PHELPS followed him-and,
on a division, the report was that ten to
one were in favor of the principles advo-
Gated by the Senator. AT our last ad-
vices, MIR. BError was making tour
through Usage county. He has spoken
since in Warsaw and at Springfield. He
was to speak at Oceola, in ST. Clair coun-
ty, on the 18th and at Versailles, in Nor
gan county, on the 18th.
1t is suggested that the VAN BURENs
have consented to reunion of the Demo-
cratic party in New York, from an appre-
hension that Mr.. BENTON was too rapidly
assuming position as leader Of the Free
Soilers, whereby he was shelving the sage
of Undertook. The reunion is intended
to head him off as a candidate, as this
would not answer the purposes of the New
York faction. We do not know that there
is any truth in this suggestion, but it
seems to have some foundation. Now that
the ex-organ is re-establisbed in commu-
Mon with Mr.. BUTLER and Mr. VAN BU-
Rem, and the amalgamationists generally,

calls ga peep behind the curtain" Why

Dismissal Of the French Minister.

The dismissal of the French minister from the
seat of government at Washington, is an occur
renee no less sudden than unexpected. Though

we see no apprehension any where expressed as TO
the President having acted in a manner not per-

and dignity of the nation Whatever may be the
consequences, we hazard nothing in saying, that the
prompt action by President in this matter
well as IN our foreign relations generally, will COM
mend him still stronger TO the confidence and pat
riotsm of his countrymen. Firm, temperate, and
just, he will, under all circumstances, sustain the
character and rights of the nation; and in a man

We cannot share in the apprehension, felt by
some, that this difficulty about M. Poussn-if it
may be called difficulty lead to a seri-
rupture of our relations with France. Whether
that government has looked forward TO a quarrel,
if it desired one with the United States, we may
not certainly say; but We slow to believe it,
We shall see how things will develope themselves.
In the mean time, however, II may be noted as most
significant that the Locofoco press are every where
evincing an anxiety to place our Government in
the wrong! Wew will not question their patriotism

of the French minister and in their effort TO
show that our Government has not done exactly

which leads them always to regard with favor any
thing which may, by possibility, aid in restoring
them to power. We will not be 80 unjust as to saw
that the great of the Locofoco party are or will
be controlled by this spirit. But let what may be-
tide, the country will feel that in an Administration

We publish ON first page, the Republics &C
count of the difficulty between Nj. Poussin, the
French envoy, and our Government
The letter of nj. Poussin carries on its face deci-
ded proofs of that gentlemans ignorance of public
etiquette In private life he is, we believe, per-
fectly well-bred man; but in the code of diplo-
matte politeness he appears 10 be greatly fault
We do not think that there was any deliberate in
tention, the part of the French envoy to insult
our Government; he was only unfortunate in the
language he employed, and ignorant of the usages
of nations. soldier, and then writer, but never
a statesman diplomatis he attempted to fill
office for which he has proved himself unqua-
fed This is the whole story of the difficulty,
about which some of our contemporaries have raised
such uproar, and which has put the stock mar
ket in tluttcr for the last three days.
As nj. Poussin innocent of any intention to
insult the United States, SO is the government
which he represents. That war should arise out
of the affair is utterly impossible. Our govern
ment has expressed its Willingness to receive any
other envoy; and France, We understand, has al
ready selected one. When slight is intent ional
where honor is unquestionably assaulted
We prepared to GO as far any one in aveng-
ing the INSULT but hold it mere child's play to

DISPUTE arising out of little rhetorical bombast
and an i'll tempered episte-for such, we believe,
will turn out TO be the true root OF bitterness in this
beginning of strife. We are, OF course, unable to
say what the French executive may feel disposed
to make of this ground of quarrel, but unless their
disposition TO fight be very decided, there need be
no bones broken. NJ Poussin will be sent home,
and. after few hourishes of French rhodomontade
our rivals across the Atlantic will return to what
thew call the ''order of the day, pure and simple
