COL. BENTON'S SPEECH. :,


The late speech Of this individual at St.
Louis, is one very characteristic Of the man.
1t. possesses the usual amount Of egotism
and vanity, and is marked with the same
vindictivcness that breathes throughout all
his productions. 1t is, however, devoid Of
the boldnsss which a short time since he
falsely assumed. No matter what his friends
or his foes may have thought heretofore, in
regard to his designs for the Presidency,
there cannot now remain a single doubt,
that his mind is firmly fixed on that object.
This speech is the key of his conduct dur
ing the summe Of ls49. It unfoIds the rea.
sons why he saw fit to abandon the interests
of bis own State in the Senate of the Uni
ted States, and affiliate himself, with those
who are closely identified with the growing
spirit of abolition.
Gov. King spoke advisedly when he said,
"BentOn is striking for the Presidency."-
Even though he had been threatened with
exposure in the land warrant affair, be be-
came the confident of Col. Benton to a suH.
cient extent to learn from him that oil the
hustle and confusion consequent upon his
anticipated action in this State, and all the
terror and false alarm that he could engen.
der on che subject Of qualification and dis.
union, were to Be parts Of a splendid gull
trap, BY which his own confding constit-
uents might finally be caught and robbed Of
their rights, whilst the ambition Of an ex-
clusively selfish and bigoted brsggadocio
was being grsti6sd. He has now taken his
stand. He will be the Free Soil candidate
for the Presidency in 1863. His course
merits their support and the support Of the
sfhighsr law'' abolitionists Of the North.
Consistency 10 Col. Benton required that
be, the great champion Of naturalization,
should ct this juncturs have said something
concerning the notification proceedings,
and defiance breathing resolves of the
Northern people against the fugitive slave
Law. Instead Of noticing this, his speech is
g studied and elaborate defence of the North
generally, The Same low abuse which has
heretofore tingsd his speeches with vulgar
ity, 10 hsaped on the South. The institu-
lions Of the South, % well ~ her brave and
patriotic citizens, seem to fall peculiarly I'M.
der the scorn of this self constituted censor,
who wickedly msgni6ss every fault, and al
the same time coneeals from view the cor.
gsaised treason and deep damnation" Of
those who have long pursued and are still
pursuing a systematic course of abolition
phrsnsy, designed and calculated finally t.
sunder the Union, desolate the South, des.
troy the hopes Of the nation, and blast the
peace aud happiness of the people.

MURDER NEAR FoRr MApIsoN.-On Fri

killed an old man by the name Of Foster
These two men were coming. from town to-
gether, in company with others, in q two
horse wagon, and Martin had been drinking
considerably, as was customary with him.
From lone cause or other, q difficulty arose
between them, along side of the road, and
Martin struck Foster on the slide ofthe face.

a. some persons came up who witnessed
the murder. and who were about one hun.
bred yards distant, they found Foster dead.
His neck was dislocated, and it is supposed
he died immediately on receiving the first
blow. Martiu, it is said was in the practice
of carrying what is called q colt, and it is
believed had it id his hand when he inAict-
ed the blow on Foster, Martin was arrest
ed that evening about midnight, and has
been comittsd for trial. He % q drinking,
