The following Plutarchian parallel occurs in
one of Col. Benton's late campaign speeches in
Missouri Piutarch has often been arraigned for
his partiality to the Greeks. 1t has been said of
him, that in comparing the great characters of
Grecian with those of Roman story he always
remembered on which side of the Adriatic he
himselfwas born. 1t would seem that our mod
ern Putarch shares the infrmity of his great
prototype. Bentons parallel between himself
and Cicero may, in the opinion of some, do slight
injustice to the Roman orator, but this is to be
ascribed, we imagine, not to the vanity and pre-
sumption of the Missourian but to the same patri-
otto weakness which influenced the conduct of the
great Bographer of antiquity. Benton cannot
forget on which side of the Atlantic he was born
and is unwilling to admit that Rome ever pro-
duced greater men than Americas:

man consplred against aud endangered like me- having

Estado de Mexico the brig Vera Cruz and schr
Pueba were waiting his arrival in the port of
Vera Crux, TO leave for the Coatzocoacos
The Universal says the city of Mexico appears
to b the theatre of multiplied crimes. No les
than sixteen assassinations had been committed
in eight days, and robberies are momentary oc-
currences. The editor attributes much of this
to the scandalous IMMUNITY with which such
things can be done, exemplifed in the recent
pardon of the murderers of Dr. Beistegu.
A conducta arrived in Vera Cruz on the 9TH
inst, with S1,70S.265 in silver.
The electric telegraph between Vera Cruz
and Orizaba was in successful operation.
A correspondent in the Poruenir recommends
thatthe railroad the isthmus of Tehuan-

arising from the immense traffic between the two

ted to the capital and from thence to any other

treasury is in impoverished state, yet the eight
millions required could be easily raised by private
subscription.

The Jordan Hatcher Question.

The Senate on Wednesday laid on the table by
a vote of 20 to IL, the preamble and resolutions
adopted by the House in relation to the Hatcher
case. 1t is generally understood that this is
final disposition of the subject, and that the Gen
eral Assembly will adjourn without any express
sion of opinion in regard to the doctrines of Gov
Johnson's first message. The House of Dele
gates on Tuesday declared by vote of nearly
four to one, that Gov. Johnson in his message of
the 18th May expressed views which are erro-
neous, and which would if acted on, be produc-
tive of mischief but the Democracy of the SEN
ate have put their veto ON this resolution. They
choose that these 'serroneous and mischie-
vous views in respect to the relations existing be-
tween the slave and white population of our State
shall pass unnoticed and unreproved rather than
censure Democratic Executive. And vet these
are the men who claim to be the peculiar guar
dians of our domestic institutions, and who are
forever imputing abolition and free-soil afnities
to the Wing party!
