Mr. Benton has made nothing By his
low and vulgar attack on Mr. CLAW. in his
late speech in the Senate. From every
source, we learn that Mr. Clay is made
stronger BY il, and that the prospect Of
the compromise is brighter since Ben
tons speech against it. Mr. Greelv, of
the .New York Tribune, who is opposed to
the compromise, and avorable to Ben,on's
views in regard to California, speaks thus
of Benton's Indecent personalities:
II am sorry SO old Senator should
have found It necessary to assail with
personal con,unelv the oldest Senator
now liv;no merely because he re,or,ed
and sustains the Comnromise. Mr. CLAW
has not deserved this Of Col. Renton.
though he can far easier forgive it than
Colonel Benton can afford 10 forgive him
self. 1t may be that Col. B. will want
whig votes in the next Legislature of
Missouri, and he is not likely TO secure
them by showering coarse tests and low
sarcasms on the head of Henry CLAY, who
sat in his seat too i'll, in fact, 10 be safely |
out of his bed. Why was Mr. Clay there?
Why is he in the Senate? What moved
him to propose the Compromise Can
any man imagine a motive likely to impel
the great Kentnckian, at his advanced age, |
10 encounter all this labor, anxiety and ap-
probium. other than that Of devotion TO his |
country? Is it not notorious that he is
willing 10 sacrifice his own opinions on |
