20 strongly the esteem Of men OF all parties in the
South, as this man, not even excepting Webster,
Cas-, or Buchanan. Throughout the South, We
firmly believe Mr.. Dickinson ia the most popular
public Northern man; and for the very reason that
his course, in his peculia. situsiion, was more
clearly and deliberately self sacrhcing than that
OF any other Northern man.
Defeated tor the Senate, il the democratic party
maintains national character, and h IS a ationsl
convention III so, it will not be at all surprising If
ticket; and We know of no Norfhel n'democrat who
would give strength TO the tic set IN tbs South
All calculations for the succession, however,
depend upon the precarions prospects OF parties
maintaining their present organizations; and as
the chances are at least equal for entire revou
ton and reconstruction of parties, all estimates
for 1851 are prematu e and uncertain. With the
liz elihoed Of half dozen candidates in the tel 1,
the general result is problem for future solution
WASHINGTON, Oct IL, 1850
The Presideney- General Case Colonel Be~ton-
a Sysek of IPar
In former letter, we promised TO tell General
Cass what he must expect 10 encounter in his race
the Presidency. In the last campaign, We well
! member that Colonel Benton made several
speeches in favor of that gentleman, although he
had not " heart TO the work" II was kind of
necessity laid upon him at that time, and he did
not act with good grace. And no wonder. H
bad no love for General Cass, and no love for
Mr.. Ritchie, who, he knew, would be the Gene
rails official organ in the event of his election.
The Colonel gave the whig National IsteLigexcr
the preference, and made it his organ SO far az he
had occasion personally to promulga,e his view.
In the Jackson and Van Buren, days. the Globe
was his organ, aud he had much to do in fashion
ing the democratic clay, which was much more
phabe than il is now, and more easily tempered.
Talk as you choose aboat Old Bullion, he has
perseverance ans talent, and can do much harm
to whoever he may especially select for his enc
my. When he deliberately takes a position, he
will not back out; and crediting his own state
ment, his pathway is thickly strewn with the car
casses of his victims Here, in Washington, he
now surveys the scene before HIM; and, although
Re has not altogether given up hope OF a return
the United States Senate, he views with satisfac-
ton the political death of Congressman who,
while they were hg hing against him, mortally
wounded themselves. He thinks that all will
come right, and is willing 10 bide the time
He is aware that h. has fast friends, staunch
admirers, (Do matter how many they number)
and they, acting common part with him, may
impede the progress OF the democratic candidate
for the Presidency; aad we inform General Cass
OF the tact, that he may prepare III advance for a
formidable opposition from this source.
The little knot o; free soilers of this city, in the
summer OF 1913 issued an address in favor of Mr..
Van Buren,, and, Of course, against General Cass.
Ii was the production of +. L BLAIR, of the Globe
and well written. An argument was prominent,
showing the advantages which would result from
the abolition Of slavery in the DistriCi Mr.. Blair
had just re- turned from private journey TO his OLD
patron, Mr.. Van buren,, and knew all the ''points"
Since that time, Colonel Beaton has taken the
free soil shoot, and ihis places him the same
platform with Mr. Blair and Mr.. Van Buren,. In
fact, these three have, for years, been in close
friendship, and at this day they have no disagree
ment. They each retain influential acquaintance
all over the Union, in remembrance OF former
services; and. although they cannot muster a ma

We have said that Mr. Benton is not friendly to
the Urton newspaper. In addition, we may

We begin to see smoke amoug these parties
pretending battle. The Uwioa 81 this morning
notices "Jehn z. RNes's ca,d," which appears in
the Globe. IL appears that Mr.. Richie had com.
planned that Mr.. Orr's i've minute speeches,
towards the close Of the session, against allowing
extra printing compensation To the editor of the
Union, were collected ~ mass, and let fly him,
in advance Of the official publication of the House
debates Mr. Richie han complained of this, as
an "atiempi 10 prejudice the public mind by a
wrongful Use OF the columns Of paper which

Is no telling To what II will lead. Mr. Blair

promotion OF Mr. Richie TO the oticini organising

the disclosures which Mr.. Rives, the former partner
Of Mr.. Blair, threatens TO make. They may force
