BENTON.

We cannot cucumber our columns with all the
wordy pedantry of the father-in-law of California.
But we insert the middle part of his Monday
speech, which is of real value as presenting the
strongest argument the Missouri senator couldhave
devised, had he been retained as feed COUNSEL in
favour of the measure he opposes. The reader
will perceive that the leading proposition. enun-
cated in this portion of his speech, is, that the
Northern boundary of Texas proposed by the bill
of the Committee of Thirteen drumming from a
point twenty miles North of Ell Paso to the South
western corner of the Indian Territory cuts off,
from territory of which the United States are now
in possession, serenity thousand square miles, noa0
free from slavery, and cedeS 10 Texas TO become
SLAVE. soil The argument against the bill in this
quarter is, that all New Mexico East of the Rio
Grande belongs to Texas, and the cession pro-
posed to be made to Texas will transfer much
slave territory to become free soil. Mr. Mason
undertook, as the representative of half the So
vereignty of Virginia. to rest his opposition chiefly
on this objection And with these Numerically
opposite reasons, the two Senators make uncom-
promising war upon the compromise
1t should be specially noted, that Col. Benton
avows his opposition to any extension of slavery,
because he believes it an incurable evil. Hence,
he is opposed to that part of the bill which con-
firms the title of Texas 70 the Lower Rio Grande,
and wants to divide Texas by the 102d degree of
longitude, and create a free soil State on her
Western border, extending from the 42d degree OF
latitude, in the Rocky Mountains, to the Gulf of
Mexico. He introduced a bill for this purpose
early in the present session, with offer of fif-
teen millions to Texas for her consent to it. 1t
surely behoves those who lay so much stress on
the adjustment of the Texas boundary proposed
bv the Committee, to consider we'll the issues to
which we shall revert, if the Compromise bill be
defeated, and Southern Senator stand ready
with so tempting bride to the North as this bill
of Bentons for throwing great free State be-
tween Texas and Mexico.
The rest of Col. Benton's speech, besides what
we publish consists chiefly of a remarkably
strained and ostentatious attempt to fidcule the
propositions of the Committee. Rarely have we
read such farrago of sef-conceit and spurious
learning. Declaring that the Committee produced
a monster instead of harlequin, he says, with
characteristic arrogance, Sir, noao proceed TO
the destruction of ttis monster" He assumes to
have entirely routed Mr.. Clay on the subject of
tackng," which very possibly he may believe,
but certainly nobody else does. We doubt not

AssAuLTrNe WoMAN--Hugh McMakn made his
appearance yesterday morning before the Mayors
Court per force to the charge of breaking the
head of Mrs Catherine Daily, on Tuesday last, at
shindy in grocery the Basin. Mrs. Daily being
duly sworn deposed that she returned from the
Office homewards Tuesday, she stopped to friend
living on the Basin. Upon entering the house she
found McMakn there; being drunk, he became noisy
and troublesome, and finally got into dispute with
Mrs Daily herself, which he terminated by dashing
pitcher filled with water, at the head oftha amiable
lady. [Hele she pointed out the wound on her head,
cause by the bowl As salvo for her wound, the
Mayor informed Mrs. Daily that he would require Nc

Shall New lNerico be q Stale j?

The National Intelligencer recently published
letter from Mr. Hugh N. Smith, (he delegate
from New Mexico0 enclosing letter to himself
from E. W. Previtt, dated at St. Louis, May "a.
Mr.. P. (says Mr. 81 is ga gentleman of great
intelligence and responsibility, whoi is just in from
New Mexico who has passed the last year there,
and who is capable of describing things now
transporting in that Territory"
Mr.. Previtt writes Mr.. Smith as follows:
GA large majority of the people of the Territory have
manifested, time and again. their preference for terri
tora government and the very last trial of the ques
tion it shown, in Santa Fe, the stronghold OF
the State party, that there "ere ten to one m JaoGu
of territorial government but since the arrival OF
the Texan commissioner, who comes with threats IN
his mouth that if the jurisdiction OF Texas not sub
mitted to quietly, Texas will march suftlcent force
into the country compel submission, almost uni
versal cry has been raised to organize State goUern
ent in the belief that the government they haze ask
ed for and DESIRE above all Others loln not De green
them during this session of Congress. They are de-
termined resist Texas in euery Ddy until resistance
is impossible; aud that they may make that resistance
feasible and etiectua they mus ha n govsrnsn
their reach, they haze resorted to that, not from
choice, but from necessity"
The facts here stated are highly important
They show that the people of New Mexico are,
ten to one, in favour of Territorial government;
but, impelled by the danger of being swallowed
up by Texas, and by the counsel of the admins
tration, they are forced to demand State govern
ment as the readiest mode of maintaining the in
tegrity of their Territory. The practical ques-
ton is, whether it is better to give them State
government which they do not want, or provide
for them Territorial government which they
earnestly desire, and, by an amicabe arrangement
with Texas, secure them from farther controver-
sy. This is plainly the real issue, and we do not
hesitate to prefer the alternative proposed in the
compromise bill.
