Louisiana Senator.
The new ly elected Senator from Loui-
siana, ]. p. Benjamin, is of Jewish birth
and falkland one Of the most distinguished
lawyers and orators Of New Orleans. We
have frequently read his speeches, as re-
ported in the papers Of that city, and have
conceived high estimate of his intellect
and patriotism. AT the late South West
ern Railroad Convention at that place, he
concluded very able address, by d.
gression, in which he gave uttcrance to the
following conservative views:
at has been the fashion of late to sncer at our
forcfathers and the principles inculcated by the
founders of this country. 1t has been stated, and
it is openly avowed by some, that we must 20
ahoad aud spread republican piicipes in foreign
countries. That ras nat mission; our aim

might be to see republican principles spread over
the entire surucc of the globe, he not in favor
ofsceng them enforced by the bayonet, bnt by the
peaceful conquest of railroads. Our mission was
to convert the vast wastes and wderncsses Of the
country into smiling pastures and fertile fields

The New Orleans Bee says of Mr.. Ben
lamin-the Senator elect is comparatively
a young man, hardly exceeding The Con-
slitu,ional age, but his reputation as ju-
rst and an orator, is very high. He pos
sesses talents of rare excellence, quick
ready apprehension. a most fascinating
style of elocu,ion, admirable tact and ad.
dress, and mind that grasps with facility
and masters without an effort the most
complicated subjects. We predict for him
brilliant career In the arena OF Statesman
ship.
IV The National Intclligenccr says:
"Itis worthy Of remark how steady and
consistent is the tone of the Press OF the
great Interior, the South, the West. and
the Northwest, upon the attempt to intro
ducc into this Republic a foreign influence
and foreign policy. for the avowed pur-
pose Of overturning the principles of gov
crnmcnt to which this country owes all its
prosperity at home. and the influence " hich,

world. The mass of our native popula-
ton, indeed good portion of the naturaliz-

people in the wars of Europe; to carry
them off to remote aud foreign countries

crusades for the benefit. not of any inter-
est to the United States, but for the pur-
pose of setting the balance Of power be
tween the Nations Of Europe

ing the eulogics of Mr.. Clay, by the De
mocraiic Press of the country. with much
propricry and justice remarks:
THE eulogies now bestowed on Mr.
Clay by the Democratic presses can never
repair the fearful wrongs which have been
done him, yet they may serve. and no doubt
will serve, as an instructive lesson to the
country. The man who has been the OBJ
ject Of Ten times as much Democratic de-
nunciation as any other individual in the re-
public is now acknowledged by them and
proclaimed by them to be one of the pnr-
est and greatest patriots that the world
has produced. Let this fact be remember
ed and deeply pondercd as often MS the
Democratic organs assail with their calum-

head Of the Government. Surely The Time
