The COURIER AND Mr.. BENJAMIN - Our
doughty neighbor of the Courier INDUCED,
several days ago, in some very stringent remarks
relative to speech made by Senator Benjamin
at private dinner given him by the Boston
Club on the I'D inst. If Mr.. Benjamin said
any thing at the time referred to, which was at
all offensive to our susceptible neigbbor, the pri
waite character of the occasion, we think, ought
to have exempted it from publicity Mr.. Ben
jamin surely ought not to be made publicly re-
sponsible for remarks thrown out in the conf
dence Of social intercourse
The Courier charges that the Honorable Sena-
tor /" announced to the company sitting around
the table, that our present delegation was stron-
ger than any Louisiana ever had in Congress 4"
We think the Courier must be mistaken in
the tenor Of the Honorable gentleman's remarks.
Mr.. Benjamin certainly took occasion to compli-
ment the Louisiana delegation in very high
terms, but the Courier does him injustice by
surprising that there was any thing of egotism
in the laudations bestowed. He might well
have intended to utter compliment in regard
to his colleague and to the members from his
own State to the lower House of Congress, but to
have included himself in the praise bestowed,
would have been an outrage upon good taste
which Mr.. Benjamin could not have committed.
The Courier's inference that Mr. Benjamin is
Z" miserably and culpably ingnorant +" on any
subject connected with the interests of his own
State, is an imputatian that we do not feel called
upon to combat.
