1t is the opinion of Mr.. RHErr that the De-
mocratic party have gone over to Mr.. CLAY.
This is one mode of stating that the Democratic
party have returned to their original principles.
We believe it is true that the practical and SEN
sible portion of the Democrats have become per-
suaded that they cannot get along with the Alb
stractionists and politicians of the Richmond and
South Carolina school, in their new-light no
tons Of let-alone and do-nothing, and are pre-
pared to return to the notions of the old Demo-
crazy, to which Mr.. CLAY has always adhered
with infexible fidelity.
We published yesterday an extract from a
speech of Mr.. CALHOUN in 1917, to show what
was then considered Democratic" on the sub
iect of Internal Improvements. We publish
this morning an extract of a letter printed in
the Missouri Intcuigencer Of the 23d of Octo-
HART BENTON, to show what was then thought
(" Democratic" not only in regard to Internal
Improvements, but in regard to the American
system of protection:
The principles which would govern Mr..
CLAWS administration, if elected, are well
known to the nation. They had been dis
9 played on the floor of Congress for the last
seventeen years. They constitute system
of .4merican policy, based on the agriculture
and manufactures Of his otcn country-upon
interior as we'll as foreign commerce--upon
internal as we'll as sea-board improvements--
upon Independence Of the new world, close
commercial alliances with Mexico and South
: America. 1t is said that others would pur-
: sue the same system: ,cc answer that tie
founder of the system is the natural erecsAtor-
Of has own work. That the most efficient
protector of American iron, lead, hemp,
wool and cotton, would be the triumphant
: champion the new tariff--the safest friends
to interior commerce would be the statesman
: who has proclaimed the Mississippi to be the
sea of the west-the most jealous promoter
Of internal Improvements must be the Presi-
: dent, who has triumphed over the President
that opposed the construction Of national roads
and canals-the most successful applicant fol-
treaties with Mexico and South America
would be the eloquent advocate Of their own
independence. THOMAS HART BENroN."

We learn with sincere qualification that, az
general meeting of the stockholders Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. held
yesterday at Gadsby's hotel, in this city, Gov
ernor SPRIec, of Maryland, was unanimously
elected President Of the company in the place
of General CoALE, resigned. Governor SPRIea
is gentleman Of the old school-one of the
few who are left to show in their daily life
that the possession Of business habits and quail
ties of the highest order is not inconsistent with
the uniform display Of the charities and gr,ces
which lend its chief attraction to social inter-
course.
