TUESDAY, APRIL IS, 1854.
CONGRESS.

wished to permit MIR. Benton to finish speaking
in his time; but the most ferocious and excl
ted opposition was manifested to this by the
friends of the Nebraska BILL and permission
was refused. But Mr.. Wentworth persisted
until he got before the House a motion for the
amendment of the Civil and Diplomatic APP
preparation bill; and then Mr.. Benton, az
speaking 70 this new proposition, was entitled
to another hour, and SO finished his speech
The privilege denied Mr.. Benton is of III
most daily occurrence and was accorded by
Mr.. Cutting to Mr.. Breckenridge, in the midst
OF bitter personal quarrel. And it was to-
day denied by party Of gentlemen who were
yesterday indignant at being suspected Of the
purpose Of springing new bill uponS the
House, and hurryng it through-by a party
who clipped tho appropriation clauses off the
bill in the Senate in order that it might be
forced through tho House-by a party who tried
their utmost to prevent the reference of the
bill to the Committee Of the Whole, for any
discussion whatever
/ Mr.. Wentworth did handsome thing in
defeating the ilberal purposes Of these gen.
tlemen and Mr. Oliver deserves credit for
standing alone among the friends Of the bill,
in wishing to give Mr.. Benton chance Of be-
ing heard He, indeed, dealt out a severe
rebuke to his associates, when he intimated
that he was not afraid to let Col. Benton's
views be heard Who were, he did not say
but certainly not the opponents Of the measure.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE HARDs-The Lou
isville Journal is of opinion that the Admins
tration's support cf the Nebraska Bill, though
evidently intended to conciliate the Hards, has
not had the effect in the slightest degree. Its
only tendency has been to confirm them in
their previous opinions rs to the Presidents inn
becility, his vacillation, and his general per-
fdousness And the Journal adds:
gThey have no more confidence in the Sofss,
whose cause he 80 lately cspoused, than they
have in him, and they are resolved to have no
sort OF political intercourse with either him or
them Ii is considered certain that their State
Convention in July win nominate Judge Bron-
son, the ex-Collector of New York, for Govern
| or, and that they will select the very hardest
Of the Hards for all the rest of the State Offices.
| AS for the Soiis, it is not believed that they
can, even under the influence of the tremen-
dous pressure Of the Hards act together; for
they are hopelessly divided on the Nebraska
bill, more than half Of them having abandoned
the Administration upon that issue. OF course
the Wings will carry New York, even If they
make scarcely IN effort"
We have no confidence in the continued CO
herence OF party not bound together by prin-
ciple. The desire Of plumber may serve for q
time to hold them together but it viii be sure
at some time to prove the cause OF their sepa-
ration The no called Democracy Of New York
must fall asunder; but why the Wings must
therefore prosper, we cannot understand.
There is a true Democracy in that State.
