Thomas II. Benton.

The result Of the triangular election in Missouri en-
the election Of u S. Senator in place of Mr.
Benton. IL at time supposed that large poF-
onof the Wing party, ympathizng with this eminent
statesman In his struggle for the OF Human Free
dom, would unite with him in the overthrow Of the fac
ton who sought his destruction but the tempting pros
pect Of welding the seeptrc OF power State where
they had long been in the minority not to be re.
sisted. Under the circumstances the defeat OF the De-
mocracy matter of consolidating Statesman
HUMAN FREEDOM. Now we should like to
know when and where Col. Benton struggled for the
cause Of Human Freedom. Was it in favoring the
admission Of Missouri as Slave State? Was it in
Platte river country, lying north of the Missouri
line to that State? district much larger than the
State of Delaware, which, but for the exertons of
Col Benton, would now be part of the State of
Iowa. The Colonel always gives this instance, as
the evidence Of his ealty 10 the slave interest that
his exerons converted this large tract of country TO
slave territory It is the only case, record,
where, by the act Of Congress, free soil has been
made slave soil Has his struggle in favor of '.Hu-
man Freedom been exhibited by his universal OPP
position to the proviso: His votes against, and his
open denunciation of this 'dead and rotten humbug,
to use his own language? We are the friend of Col
Benton, and we protest against his being used as
prop TO bolster up the fallen fortunes of abolition
ism. ''HuMAN FREEDoMl' What does this
mean? If il means freedom from African slavery,
then the term will not apply with the same force TO
Mr.. Benton that it does to Cass, Dickinson, Bright,
and other Northern Democrats, who have always
advocated the doctrine of non-intervention on that
subject.

ment Of the session Of making the first disunion
speech, aud the first, believe, ever uttered in
Congress Hall. From Indiana, it will be seen that
seven Democrats voted for the measure, and Mr..
McGaughey, wing, Harlan, democrat, and Julian free

the bill He voted against rejecting it-against lay

prouiso, and in favor of Mr. Boyd's amendment to
add the Territorial Government for New Mexico
Mr. Julian from his free soil position, as matter OF
coure voted against all measures which did not con-

the views Of Mr.. Harlan, who voted against the

Vote on the Te,as BOUNDARY Rim.

We clip the following article from the New York
Herald, neutral paper:
HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON
PASSAGE OF THE TEXAS BOUNDARY AND
THE NEW MEXICAN BILLS.
II with infinite pleasure that VIC inform our readers
Of the passage, 10y the House of Representatives
erday of the bf providing for the settlement Of the
boundary dispute between Texas and New Mexico, and
the bill establishing territorial government for New
Mexico, they received from the Senate. We
congratulate the whole country-North, East South
and Weston these glorons tdings. The great ques-
ton is settled-he country is safe-harmony preserv-
public; and thank God the agitators and dsunonsts
all colors actions hues and shades and sections have
been met and overcome. Those dsorganzers have done
their worst, but they transixcd. They sought
by every in their power disturb the harmony
OF beautiful political system and convert this hap
py and God-avored republic into cluster of rival and
perhaps hostile States but they by the pat
have been repused and defeated They have been throt
tied with the Infamous and sacrlegious cry of dsunion
in their throats and their fanacal followers have met
the fate which they courted Let hear no more OF
disunonno of nullifcation-no more of faction
al sectional upbraidng. Henceforth let us know
North, no South, East, and no West. Thanks 10
the patriotic friends of the Union, again one
passed in safety and the principle of repubcanism
again as potent and more so, than it the
continent of America. Our foreign enemies who FORE

Territorial Acquisitions.

Under Democratic Administrations Louisiana, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Oregon, Florida, Texas, Utah, New
Mexico and California have been acquired. Acquis-
tons which secured to the mouth of the Mississippi
the command ofthe Gulf of Mexico, the keys Fori-
da and the ports and harbors the Pacific in Cali
fornia and Oregon. 1t secured empire five times
as large the original thirteen States The federal
lists and modern wings have always opposed these
of territorial acquisition and national ag-
grandizement. Their opposition commenced with
the purchase of louisiana under Mr.. Jefferson and
has since been steadily followed up. The Demo
cratic policy of Jackson, Van Buren, and Polk, is
now lifting up the country to greatness and glory.
The Wings are now in power. They talk against
Democratic men and Democratic measures; but
they have sgnally failed TO change or alter the De-
mocratic policy adopted by Jefferson, and carried
out by his successors. The United States Bank,
once favorite Wing measure, is now an obsolete
idea. A tariff for protection is scarcely advocated
by any except the Iron interest of Pennsylvania
and that monster of hideous FORM the Sub-Treasury
is still in full force, and no recommends its re-
peal. The arts, agriculture and commerce flourish,
and peace smiles upon all the land. The dark cloud
which has hung over our Southern horizon has been
blown away by the breath of patriotism and now is
''the winter of our discomfort made glorious sum-
mer''
Had the federal policy been adopted, we would
now have been hemmed in on all sides by foreign
possessions. France would have commanded the
navigation Of the lower Mississippi, and with the
British possessions the North and the Spanish on
the south, should have been crushed 10 DEATH So
much for Democracy.

In looking over the proceedings and debates of the
Constitutional Convention OF North Carolina 1896, the
question of employing the public printer do the print
ng for the Convention discussed and may be OF
interest at this time and serve show the manner
which this question has always been considered and al
ways decided, we make a lew extracts. They can be
found in the book above referred the State Library
Mr. Giles then moved the following:
Resored That the Convention proceed to the election
of Printer and tibet the prices for printing shall be the
same paid by the General Assembly, and that the
for printing shall be audited by Board
consisting oil the Heads of Departments which audts
of the printing done for the Legislature and
Public Offices.
Mr.. MDiarmid moved to amend the resolution so as
employ the public printer OF the state to execute the
printing for the Convention at the rate at which the
printing for the state is executed.
Mr. Welborn unwilling to place the printing OF the
Convention hands in which he could have
fdence that it would be faithfully executed He was
clearly in favor of the Convention having Printer OF Its
own He thought the pursued by the gentleman
from Rowan (Mr. Giles) was the proper one.
Mr. Branch said if we elect an officer OF our own, we
shall have securitythat business will be well done.
We SHALL in that case, have justice done
the arguments used in support OF our proceedings will
also be fairly given the public and all msapprehensons
i'd relation to our dongs will be avoided.
! Mr. Smith of Orange, was perfectly willing to take the
original proposition but he objected placing the bust
ness in the hands of the Public Printer.
1t has been proposed, said Mr. Fisher, to employ the
State Printer do the work of this body. Toths he OBJ
ected This Convention separate and distinct from the
Legislature it is direct from the people, and ought to
have printer gifts He could not any propriety
in employing individual because the Legislature had
employed him. If indeed it be thought that he do the
business better than any other person. let him be chosen
by ballot but il the members Of this Convention think
otherwise they will act accordingly.
Mr. F. said he had this morning looked into the pro.
ceedngs of the Virginia Convention, recently held, and
he found that proposition similar that offered by the
gentleman from Orange, introduced, and the same
Arguments advanced in support ofit urged by
him but it voted down by large majority and a
Printea elected
The question taken on employing the Public Prn-
ter, and negatived by large majority.
The question, "Shall the Convention now proceed to
the election of prnter" put and decided in the
affirmative.
This has been followed by every Convention that
has been called together by the people that we can lind
any record Of and think will be sufficient precedent for
the action OF our Convention.

The New paper at Indianapolis.

The following is from the editor of the Logansport
Pharos, an old political and personal friend of DR.
Ellis 1t shows the opinion he has of the new paper
and its results the 'union and harmony of the
Democracy of the State. He says:
'we no possible good that will result to the

Sept, 1S45 when Mr.. SPANN in company with Mr.
F. MoRRIsoN started the Indiana Democrat to break
down the State Sentinel That enterprise which created
division in ranks to some extent and would have
done great injury had the paper continued, fortu
natey wound up by the CHAPMANs getting Mr.. SPANN
to their interest by taking him partner. Mr.
MORRISON being in Mexico at the time, the Democrat
thus suspended. Whether the present lowering O
the cloud Of division will pass off with little harm
on the former occasion time must determine; but

We said in the Pharos of Sept g. 1885, as follows, anC
1t expresses our view of the present paper move
ment:
"ThismOvement we think is wholly uncalled for by the
