Benton and Douglas.
Under this caption the N. O.. Pieayune, makes
short but pertinent review OF two speeches. received
by the same mail The one was the speech OF SEN
ator Douglas of Illinois, at Chicago IN which he SO
noby rebukes the ant-slavery fanaticism which had
threatened notification of the fugitive slave law,
and in which by his eloquent expostulatlon OF the
nature and requirements of the law, he actually
faced and succeeded in turning back the current Of
resistance causing revocation by the city council
of the multiplying Ordinance already passed. The
other was speech delivered by Thomas H. Benton,
at public meeting in St. Louis. 1t was long, bit
ter labored inventive against all parties and persons
who took any active part in the debates of the last
session in favor of the Compromise bills. A large
portion of the speech devoted to his position
before the people of Missouri q candidate for
election to the Senate eTincng plainly enough that
the day of his glory has long since passed. The
Picayune closes its review with the following appro
pirate remarks:
awe take this notice of these speeches to mark
the difference between two Northwestern Senators
in Congress, one aged Senator from slavehold-
ing State whose unregulated temper and bitter pas
sions have transformed him from the dignifed Mes
tor, which he might have been, whose counsels lis
tenng Senate might invoke for the instruction and
pacifcation of distracted people, into noisy Draw
Ter, waging undignifed quarrels in language of the
coarsest nvectve and suspected all sides not to
be faithful either to his party his section; the
other young and generous man of the North whose
heart is Thoroughly warm with a genuine and corr
menced what promises to be brilliant career by
fearlessly maintaining broad national DOCTRINES
which, while they protect the South in its just
rights strengthen for perpetuty the foundations of
the Union"

| tribes, that removed here a few years ago. in
consequence of being surrounded by States, will
again, in short time too, be surrounded with
States, and be hedged in with dense white popu-

is plain enough to be seen, that in few years these
Indian tribes will have to be organized into terri
torial government and then be admitted into the
United States a slave State. What will the
friends of free soil and abolonism think of that !?
