BENToN AGAIN IN CONGRESS. Col.
Benton, who has Just been returned as a
member of the next Congress from the
st. Louis District, Missouri, will prove
rather a sore "thorn in the sickle" to
the regular Democracy. He was elect
ed on anything bat the Baltimore Plat
form.-The New York Tribune says
COL Benton is called Democrat,
and calls himself so-that designation
being more attractive than any other.
Yet his speeches throughout the canvass
have been essentially whig-his avowed
objects IN returning TO Congress are con-
sistent with whig principles and utterly
inconsistent with the Pierce Baltimore
Platform. He everywhere avowe,i him
self an advocate of River and iarbor
improvements, Of National Railroad
from .he MIssippi to the Pacific, and OF
a revision Of the Tariff with an eve to
the more efficient Protection Of Amer,
lean Iron making. Mr.. Caruthrrs, the
Wing candidate, forcibly complained
that Col. Benton's hobbies We're Ill Dor.
rowcd-all based on whig ideas ofGov'
eminent, and at war with the proipssed
principles of his own party. And this
was true.

thrown around them by the Constitution, found
In these patriots eager and devoted champions,
upon whom, it may well be said has descended
the mantle OF Messrs. Jefferson and Madison.
The States have been Invested of their soyer-
eighty, while the Northern representation, in
the plenitude of their power, sit like the gods
| OF Olympus, working out their abominations
and laughing TO scorn the feeble cries of South
ern resistance. The time has come to suppli-
cate, and it will last very long, at least so long
as the South is saddled with the worst and
most fragrant usurpations OF the federal govern
ment, and the Southern people themselves sub
NIT The legislative department has swallowed
up all the powers Of the States, and those re.
served to the people Take away the rights
belonging to the States as bodies polite, which
are nothing more nor less than domestic puards
home securities, and where is the guarantee for
our liberties? The States are fast becouinp
the miserable, degraded provinces of a corsoli.
dated power, whose selfishne;s and SECTIONAL
ism will rule with rod Of iron. The federal
government has no more right to exercise
powers not delegated, than had the British
Parliament to tax the colonies without their
consent. Our distinguished Senator, PIERRE
SoULE, in the opinion Of many, has won for
himself, by his devotion to the rights Of the
States, an Immortality of renown. He has bat
tied with the compromise from the beginning,
foreseelng the dangerous consequences ensuing.
His sympathies are with the States He is
with them heart and soul, preferring rather the
consciousness of having done his duty, than the
vapid laudations of the political myrmidoms of
the day. A LOCKER ON.

THE DESIGN OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

| THE DESIGN OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

the English charge d'affaires had supported the
French note concerning the press The former
had recommended the president Of the confed.
| Grafton in a private conversation, while watch.
ing the conduct of political refugees to respect
the right Of asylum, which ought to be enjoyed
in all countries employing free institutions.
~ VIII be seen by the following extracts from
the Independence Suisse, of the 18th ult. that
the English journals do not stand alone in mis-.
trusting the designs Of the French government:
1.-The uneasy feeling increases on account of
the obstinate silence kept by the federal council
with regard to the dangers which Switzerland
runs, dangers which the imagination is ant 10
exaggerate. Are we threatened with a second
edition of the expedition to Rome people are
asking on all sides. This state of uncertainty.
mingled with fear, acts upon all public affairs,
and If it continues, may bring about crisis
which single official word would suffice to pre-
vent. We would willingly believe thar the in.
minence of the danger is exaggerated, but the
obstinate silence as to the nature Of the French
note is not Of good augury, and leads one to
think that it is in point of fact very threatening.
Now, it is necessary that the country should
know how it stands, for it has had the melan.
ancholy experience that the federal council is not
very lucky in diplomatic negotiations. We will
assume that these negotiations are going on at
this moment; but at least the federal council
ought to say publicly, France requires such and
such thing-her pretensons appear to us ex.
horbitant and incompatible with the honor and
Independence of our country; it is for this rea-
son that we have entered upon negotiations to
expose the real state of things clearly to France.
In the meanwhile our constituents may be as
sured that we will keep a vigilant eye upon the
interests of Switzerland. BY saying nothing.
the federal council appears to sanction all the
versions that are in circulation, however exap.
geraied they may be; and, as we said above,
people go 80 far as TO fear an expedition TO
Rome. 1t is, therefore, a civic duty for the fec
era council TO break silence, in order to re-. as.
sure the country, which is justly alarmed"
The federal government of Switzerland has
addressed n letter TO the governments of the
cantons on the frontiers of Piedmont, recon-
mending that no political French refugees from
Piedmont shall be permitted to enter, unless
with passports signed by the Swiss minister at
Turin, and be able, besides, TO show that they
are in possession of sufficient money to INV
their expenses to England.

"The demonstration in favor Of Mr.. Web

which had been secured for the meeting, was

derby and respectable an assemblage as ever con

The same paper says Of the address:
aThe address is well written document
and presents very clearly and compactly the
ground Of DIR. Webster's claims TO the Presi

SWITZERLAND.

The Revue de Geneve has the following on the
relations Of the confederation with France -
According to non-oficial but we-founded in
formation, 1t appears certain that the Federal
Council has replied in firm and fitting manner TO
the French note in which it was attempted to OBJ
tain from Switzerland promise to expel in future
from its territory any foreigner who might be de-
signated TO this government. The Council, while
refusing to take an engagement Of nature to COM
promise the independence of the confederation,
has, at the same time, announced its readiness 10
take all proper and necessary precautions against
the sojourn OF political refugees amongst us be-
coming a source OF inquietude to neighboring
States. There has been written no other note than
that to which the Federal Council thus responds.
and this note makes no mention Of any other sub
ect than that which now elicits a refusal The
note does not even complain OF the conduct of re-
fugees actually in Switzerland with respect 10
them, all its illusions most general nor is any,
thing said OF the press, its license, or wshedfor
restrictions. When the French note was handed
irto the proper minister, the Austrian Charge
d'Affaires made some general verbal observations
Of the nature OF an indirect menace. We believe
this is the whole truth concerning the notes Of
which so much has been affirmed.
The Journal dcs Debais says:
According to letters from Derne, OF the o0tb
Feb the notes exchanged between the the minister
Of France and the Federal Council do not cease N
occupy the Swiss press. The Bind, journal
published at Berne, assures US that the note of
France relative TO the refugees and to the abuses
Of the press was supported by England But this
statement appears TO be without foundation. The
Charge dAffares Of England, in a convtrsation
with the President Of the confederation. simnlv
testified the desire Of his government that, in the
affair Of the refugees, Switzerland, whilst scrupu-
lousy respecting international law, should main
tain the right Of asylum recognized in every coun-
try enjoying liberal institutions. There was no
question Of the liberty Of the press.
