souri, and in the Union. 1t was
drawn forth ostensibly by an article
in the N. Y. Post, which announced
that democratic paper is 10 be es-
tablished at Washington city, tosGp-
port Mr.. Benton for the Presidency.
! From other sources we gather that
| Fraucis p. Blair, formerly editor OF,
the Washington Globe--in that day
the most powerful political writer in
The democratic ranks in the United
! Staies looked TO as the founder Of
the new paper. =
Mr.. Benton, with one Of his bitter
ests filings at Mr.. Richie, of the I'M
ion, agrees TO the necessity of IA new
paper for the party--not for an 'ndi-.
vidual," '" assures his friends that the
new paper, ''if one is es ablished, is
not to support him forthc Presidency,
nor for anything else;" all of which
is very self-denying and candid; but
at the same timeh his Missouri friend,
who publishes the letter agreeing 60
all he says-ddds that, for the gener-
al good, of course, and in deferenc 10
a public opinion which he thinks he
can find somewhere, Mr.. Benton
must be the mitII supported. fhe
big gun of the Princeton must have,
confused more brains than Ben,on's
if anv body really thinks of making
him President, or a candidate for the,
Pres dency. Nothing can give him a
show ofstren rth, but combination
of Seward Whigism, with Barnburn-
ng democracy-a most unlikely con-
iunction, now that the New York
Barnburners have caved i'll and gone
over in body 10 the Baltimore plat
form.
Benton felicitates himself on tho
issue of the Missouri election. He
tlelts it as. a full victory over the
Jackson resolution men-against
whom he made his appeal TO the
considers as fully sustained
by the people of the State, and treats
the Senatorial election as subordi-
nate matter entirely seems 10 credit
the report that the Wings and anti
| Bentonites, whom he calls nullifiers,
will unite in maxim a Senator and
still he thinks il will be a victory.
He seems to be quite composed;l
to look upon recent affairs as having
strengthened rather than weakened
him, and blows a hasty note of ex,il-
tation in having defeated, what he
calls the qualification, disunion de-
;nocracy.n-N. o. Picayune.
A law suit has lately taken place
in France, which, inasmuch as it
tends TO .nlighten us regarding a
profession as yet quite unknown in.
this country, is deserving of a notice.
