Nh. BENToN's SPEEcH.-Ths speech of
Mr.. Benton which has been q long time an
nounced to be made, has at last been deliv-
.ered-and il may be said of it as was said
by Mr.. Webster of another speech, "that If
nobody is found, after all, either killed or
wounded by it, it is not the first time in the
Of human affairs that the vigor and
success of the war, have not quite come up
to the lofty and sounding phrase ofthe man
1t is'a tissue Of egotism and re-
elimination entirely unworthy the Senator's
reputation and position. 1t is an ebullition
of malevolence, wrath and denunciaiion-
without aim and without effect, except as It
serves to lower the Senator in public esti-
nation. He admits substantially that his
favorable opinion was bought by Gen. Tay-
lOr's flatteriDg appointments of members of
his family. 1t will be recolle c,ed that both
his sons-in-law, Jones and Fremont, were
appointed to Office by Gen. Taylor; and at
the time, it was pointed to as evidence Of a
coalition between Gen. Taylor and MIR. Ben
ton. Mr.. Benton acted with the Galphin
administration throughout the war on The
compromise bills, and richly earned his re-
ward. The egotism which the speech dis
plays may be judged from asingle senteac'.
He says:
al have been Senator thirty years-a con-
tinusnce in service more honorable to the
people, and to our republican institutions,
than to me-"
VIZ think it would puzzle the Senator to
enumerate in what particulars the country
is the better for his thirty years. service
No man is more responsible than he for
that alienation of feeling which exists be-
tween different sections Of the country
His speech on Foote'S resolution, in 1880,
did more to produce the nuliication emente
in South Carolina, than all other speeches
ever made. Yet no sooner did Carolina
proceed to act, than Benton deserted her,
and ever sinse has devoted himself to the
labor of villifyiDg her public men. That
speech was q sludious libel upon the north
which never can or will be pardoned by
any friend Of the Union, until 1t is recanted
by its author. e' -eaeH
