Missouri DemocrdcY.

The trace between the Benton and Anti Ben
ton wings of the Missouri Democracy has been
broken, and the war again RACES with its former
bitterness and ferocity. 'Never before (says a
st. Louis paper) has SO relentless canvass been
witnessed in our State. Indeed everywhere, ex-
cept in the southwest where Benton reigns su-
preme, the fires of war have been kinded, and
the mercies of the scalpingknife, the faggot, and
the stake, will be esteemed tender in comparison
with the pains that the opposing parties will short
ly be inf1icting on each other.
1.-The platform of Jefferson City is gone. The
union there proclaimed is rent. The good feel
ing there exhibited has been blown into flames
OF passion and hate. The Democracy of Missou-
II are in desperate melee and it is beyond any
mans prophetic power to say what aspects the
fight will next present, when, where, or how
it will end, save in general and glorious triumph
oftrue Wing principles"

ENCRoACHMENTs OF THE SEA.-A comnuni-
cation in the Charleston Courier, states that the
sea for the last ten years has not only been en-
croaching on our harbors, but has threatened to
invade rice river domains with its salt inunda-
tions. The mouths of the Waccamaw and ofthe
Santee have been alike alarmed with its picking
qualities, and the Cooper has suffered under these
unfavorable influenced almost to its sources. The

TIE Jgrdrn Haicter Case.

slhe report from the majority Of the Commit
tee of Courts of Justice in reference to the Gov
ernors messages of the 18th aud 18th of May.
came up in the House of Delegates yesterday as
the order of the day. Mr.. Robinson, of Rich
moud city, offered as substitute for it, the pre-
nmble and resolutions submitted by him some days
ago. Whereupon long discussion ensued, in
which Messrs. Robinson, Scott of Fauquier, Rives
OF Albemarle, Old of Powhatan, Garrett, Bar
bour Lewis, and others, participated. The De-
mocratic leaders made desperate efforts 10 rally
their forces in opposition to Mr.. Robinson's re-
port, but without success.
Mr.. TALIAFERRo opposed the report of the mil
nority upon the ground that it was no. respectful
to the Governor, and advocated the report of the
majority upon the ground that the last message
was satisfactory explanation of the first.
Mr.. ScoTTof Fauquier, preferred the report of
the minority, though he did not altogether approx
1t and argued with great power to show that some
OF the most Objectionable doctrines of the first
message were left unretracted and unexplained by
the last. He denounced the position taken in the
message ofthe 18th of May that the homicide 'sin
this case was only manslaughter," and demonstra-
ted that that position was not explained or aban-
doned in the second message.
Mr.. LEWIS of H. contended that it was a
question of fact and not of law-that the evil
dence did not justify the report of the committee
&c.
Messrs. GARRETT and OLD made bold and AMI
mated speeches. The former rebuked Messrs.
WALLACE and LEWIS for attempting to make the
matter party question.
Mr.. RIvEs also spoke with ANNA ton and elo-
quence.
Mr.. BORROW acquitted himself handsomely and
defended his position with manliness and ability.

read some resolutions. There was evidently a
predispostion on the part of portion of the audi

might have to read, and these citizens amused
themselves whv various playful remarks relative to
Mr. Jacksons personal appearance, and also varied

provoking and ungentlemanly style, showing very
clearly the existence of considerable amount
of prejudice against the resolutions, or the indi

Jackson bore this very patiently for short time
when he was relieved by the appearance of the
Rev. Mr.. Othemann, of Chelsea, who endeayor-

OF legal suasion, and request was dispatched to
the captain of the watch for number of his
.'persuaders.''
Mr.. Othemann endeavored to introduce the

a descendant of Marshal Mcdonald. Even this an
