The news from the Sierra is very dis

spite of the agreement that had been made,

Louis and Rio Verde, with from 500 to
200 men. General Guzman was at the

Mr. BENTON ON Slavery.

The following extract is taken from
Hon. Thomas HI. Benton's great speech
lately delivered at Jefferson City, Mis-
souri,.
My personal sentiments, then, are
against the institution Of slauery, ana
against its introduction into places IA
sciich II does not erist. If there was no
slavery in Missouri to-day, l should op-
pose its coming in; if there was none in
the United States | should oppose its
coming into the United States; as there is
none in New Mexico or California, am
against sending it to those territories, and
could not vote for such a measure; dec
laration which costs me but little, the
whole dispute now being about the alb
stract right of carrying slaves there, with
out the exercise of the right. No one asks
for the exercise of the right, and cannot
ask it in the face of the dogma which de-
nies the power TO grant it,

A telegraphic despatch from Montreal,
dated July 4th, says: "All is gloom here,
in consequence of the news from England,
and there can be no question that the blow
has been finally given to British connex-
ion as far as the Saxon population are
concerned. They feel bitterly the insulting
reply TO Sir Allan McNab, and the general
tone of the English press"
A later despatch, dated July 9th, says:
ga meeting of the British Club, to form a
branch of the British League, was to be
held tonight. There was large atten-
dance, and much dispute was anticipated.
The Ministers directed the troops to be
on the alert, but up to the present time
all was quiet"

The Declaration of independence was read
by Mr.. James Kaylor, after which he addressed
the assembled crowd at some length. Peter
Kaylor, Ir., also favored the assomblage with
some very pertinent remarks. Lieut.. w. w.
Ivory, of the Summit, was called on to address
the meeting, to which call he responded in a
very suitable way. His remarks were greet ed
with hearty cheers. After these ceremonies
several parties of our young friends amused
themselves by tripping the "ligLt fanta stic

In relation to General Taylor and his administration,

From the Providence Herald, March a.
twill be recollected that few days ago the Journal
informed its readers, that whatever might be the general
course OF the administration in relation to removals from
Office that it was understood in Washington that the
Dorrites in this State would be promptly removed Here
is the article taken from the Journal of the 18th inst:

that there may be no misunderstanding.
Since the giving out of the Journal upon this subject,
certain candidates for offices recently returned from Wash

from the known and expressed views OF the individual
