the Legislature on the lst day Of this month";
Messrs. James, Roberts, and Mason, the honora'
bic Senators participant in the ~frncus, are sinner
pure Bentonites. We felt confident that they
would fall out among themselves. They couldn't
live together sixty days in peace. They had Il
disgrace themselves and offend the dignity Of the
Senate. So it is with those only bound toge'h'
er BY The COHESIVE power Of public plumber"
The question ofthe extension oftl.e bank
charter being under consideration in the
Senate. after several speeches being made
Mr.. Roberts, in reply to Mr.. James, af-
ter making some remarks, said that gentle
man had been a Wing when in Kentucky,
and an ardent advocate Of the National
Bank.
Mr.. James then said that the opposition
raised to him by Messrs. Mason aud Rob
erts, he believed, was caused from his op-
position to their favorite, Mr.. Richardson,
for President of the Springfield bank.
Dir. Roberts desired to explain in relation
to this point
Mr.. James, refusing to yield the floor.
Mr.. Roberts, in an undertake, remarked
all he had to say was, that it was false thai
this was a cause of his opposition.
Mr.. James exclaimed, false, say you! II
is a lie! and Immediately moved towards
him.
Mr.. Roberts turned round and called hin
an Infamous liar and %scoundrel!
Mr.. James. with a chair uplifted, rushed
towards Mr.. R., who turned round towards
him, and IS they met, James leveied hi'
chair at Roberts, who caughtit on his hand
Mr.. Mason, who sat behind MIR. H., at thi'
time rose and made at Mr.. James with grea'
ferocity,~ surposing he had been struck at
Mr.. James was then standing in the centre
ofthe aisle. Several Senators i~nterPosed,
and in the melee tables and chairs wer.
thrown overheard and several Senator laid
SPRAYING on the floor. During the scene
the President was calling on the Sergeant
at-Arms to restore order. The Sergeant
alarms advanced and g~rappled with Mr.
Mason, and the assailants being separated
order was restored. The greatest conster
nation an excitement prevailed, but no ma
~terial damage was done, except to the dig
nifty of the Senate. There was more inl

II. Our cotemporary, the Record, seems to
have thought heretofore that we had too mulch
neglected the interests Of the County and City,
and is glad in the last number to acknowledge
its error. But we protest against the position
assigned us of being an eleventh-hOur labOrer.
It is true that we have not written as much upon
the subject Of Plank Roads, as our neighbor,
but we have repeatedly urged the necessity oil
improving roads, and incre asing the facilities oil
communication between the city and the sur
rounding couEtry-we have urged it both Tor the
benefits it would confer upon the city, and the
superior advantages it would necessarily confer
upon the farming community.
1T is also true, that in regardto the building
Of the road from this pointt to Bowling Green'
we have been in doubt as to which would be the
cheapest and best, under all the circumstances
a Plank or McAdamised road. West of Bowling
Green the Plank Road wonld be preferable, io'
many reasons. The difficulty Of obtaining stone
through the p~rairies, would be a serious :im2edi'
ment to the construction Of McAdamised road
whilst the absence of any great inequality on the
surface Of the land, would render easy and praG''
ticable the best grade for the Plank Road. It's
. we'll known fact, however, that stone and grav-
81 are abundant on the whole route from here to
Bowling Green, and a grade for a McAdsmised
road could be made with less cost than that for a
Plank Road.
Again: it seems to us that the rapid waters OF
NOix Creek would always be an obstacle TO the
pernanency Of the Plank, provided # were built
near the Creek, whilst the McAdamised road
might be constructed on the level land in the bot
tom, and the waters Of the Creek could have but
little effect upon the stone.
But, yielding our preferences to the sense Of
the majority, if a Plank Road be preferred, we
shall lend cur feeble assistance to the proposed
scheme. We desire the communication, and
seeing the necessity for it, Cor The interests Of
the community at large, we hope to see action on
the subject as early as possible. Now is the
tins to commence the work. Let meetings be
called, let the subject be agitated, in order that
its advantages may be seen and appreciated BY
ali. If-ths work is desirable at all, It should be
commenced and carried on with energy TO entire
completion as early as practicable. No man

the trouble and distress brought by the in
PRODUCTION among US of the vast amounts
which were already in circulation when the
forgery was detected,bu t we have yet cause
for consolation in the reflection that the
%scoundrels who had thus started to food
the country with spurious issues, have been
stopped midway in their purpose. No one
is yet arrested on whom to fix the crime.
But new clues are opening daily, develope-
ment follows development, and thanks to
an active police, who take a lively interest
in the matter, we hope soon to announce
the detection and safe custody ofthe guilty
one.
Moore, the only person, so far, to whom
suspicion attaches, we will state in conclu.
sion, had resided at the place spoken Of a.
bove one entire year, before he left for Cal
%ifornia. Ostensibly he was a farmer, who
prospered on his honest devotion to agri-
cultural pursuits. He bore an excellent
character among his neighbors. The heads
of the police are Of the opinion that they
will yet arrest him, or at least that they
will reach some of his ac~complices, who
may prove equally accountable. Mrs.
Moore, it may be added, is living neal the
late residence of her husband. How fully
she has been admitted into his purposes and
plans has not yet t~ranspired.

MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1851.
-FREESOIL ADDRESS.

In the St. Louis Union of the 4th inst, is pub
iish.d a pueriIe document from the enton mem
bers of the last General Assembly. The OBJ
iect Of this address, it seems. is merely to throw
of the accumulation OF malice and venom, en-
gendered against the Democracy, because they
could not, and would not, consent TO violate their
duties as members of the Legislature, and dis
regard the will of the people, in the election of
Col. Benton.
The names of those members who in obedi-
ence with the requests of their constituents, had
contributed their votes to the overthrow Of one
who had become obnoxious to the people, on &C :
count Of the dangerous tendency Of his views,
and the overbearing and intOlerable course " hict
marked his anti Republican career, are paradet
out with epithsts low, and disgusting. They pre-
tend to give a history of the attempts made tt
unite the party. and falsely allege that the blame
Of failure. attaches 10 the anti Benton party
They neglect to give the resolutions offered b,
Mr.. Richardson, the talented young member
from Scotland, and those offered by Col. Ken
nett, constituting the old platform Of the party
the same upon which we have ever stood togeth
er, until the recreancy of Col. Benton promulge'
the alarming heresy, that the representative i
superior to his constituent. The fact is not men
toned by them that they 1.-THE Benton democrats
absolutely refused to sanction the long establish
81 principles Of the party, and by thus separat
ing themselves. cut off all hope of united action
BY endeayoring to engraft new and untenabl,
doctrines into the Democratic creed, unsanction
ed by any respectable portion of the party in tn
entire Union, and destined, il encouraged, total
" to pervert the design o. our institutions, the!
constituted themselves a faction, unworthy tn
aid and cooperation Of any party, whose char
acteristics had ever been a jealous regard for tn
rights of the people, and a timely rebuke of ev
cry dangerous encroachment Of power.
There are many things said in this address
which we might mention. but regarding it as tn
mere offspring of disappointed ambition, we leave
il to sink to its destined grave of contempt
We would, however, like 10 know by what au
thority these self-constituted conrentioners, un
dertake to address the people Of the State, out
side of their legislative duties? Did the Dem
ocracy of the State elect them to go to Jefferson
and form a political club with his Excellency
Tom Price. to read a vulgar and pitiful homil!
to them about Democracy in general, and t
make themselves censors over the sworn dutie
Of those members who could not tolerate thei
i~ree.soil propensities, and who would prefer an
swering to their immediate constituents, than I
aiuuto of sorry tricksters?
