Thomas 1T. Benton.

This victim of disappointed ambition, seems to have become entirely insane upon the subject Of frse-soiIism. The gIittering bait of northern pop ulari.y. seems to have filled his soul and rendercd him desperately reckless In recent letter 10 a correspondent in st Louis, allading 10 the pro- slavery democrats of Missouri, he says:
 'sI will not mix wish them nor give, nor take help. Let them have their own ticket, and we ours. Let us have clean tiekei-a clean democratic tieket-no taint of Calhounism i. C. secession, dis. union and notification. in it. Let them have their owh ticket and elect it if they can; or defeat ours ntey can.
 Caihounitss will be pat down, and even the eiee tSfy faa 5AiEa giQ F AAstSSmah qEsEu ruling consideration at present Fear of seeing whigs elected can have effect upon me under present circumstances not even a fear of seeing whig elected in my own place"
 Thus. under the amsy cloak of devotion to the country and fr-e-sOt principles, he puts forth his raak heresy and treason to the party by which he was sustained. and hts traitorous defiance of the consultation. He has endeay ored 10 make an isrrparaee breach ia tIs unity of the democ ratio party in his State, and even calls in the aid of fed eraism to accomplish his selfish purposes. He has called dawn upon his head, the ast and indig gaant exeerssioS of every true democrat ia the Union The mask has been torn eff aad he appears to the country miserable, los,hsoms mass of unprnci pied egotism, one who would no, scruple to barter his very soul to the enas of Hell for the bouble of power and place. In him Is realized the old latin maxim, Whom tho Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad"
