Col. Benton's Anti-Netraska Speech, was
of course, listened to yesterday, with respect
full attention and great interest, by the very
large audience in and around the Hall. The
Colonel was evidently in excellent keeping for
the occasion. We have heard him very often
for great many years past, and have learned
to judge, critically, when he is in his best ora
torical trim. Forrest himself never poised n
phrase with more consummate art. nor did Miss
cushman ever emphasize her leading word OF
a sentence with. better stage effect, than does
the veteran Colonel, when thus happily suited
with his opportunity We like his careful
study Of delivery amazingly; barring the
''stage' pronunciation of word here and
there, which though eminently grammatical,
sounds az though rather out Of place when fall
ing from the lips of an American statesman,
in the discussion of q grave public question
The Colonel started off rather unfortunately
for his cause. That is, he created tho instant
impression that he intended to draw very lib.
orally, indeed, upon his fancy, for His facts
Thus. he assumed, what all in Washington
know to be unfounded; viz. that the Admins
tration had improperly interfered with the
functions Of Congress in the consideration Of
the Nebraska bill. He very unfortunately
forgot even to attempt to prove that allie
CATION. This was sad mistake, indeed; mas
much, as being tho basis Of as witty joke as
ever Dan Rice essayed, and of much of his
subsequent argument, the point of both was
greatly damaged in its effect on the minds
Of sensible hearers. We should like to have
heard the Colonel attempt to make out the
case on which he founded his exordium. The
truth is, no man of any party can point to a
single fact in the history of the present Ad-
ministration, which even seems to justify the
charge that the President, or either of his
"h head clerks" (as Mr.. B. yesterday styled
the Cabinet, for perhaps the twentieth time in
. congressional specify have ever moved an
inch out of the way to make vote for the bill.
The Constitution and law auth orize even them
to have an opinion concerning it; though the
Colonel indirectly argued that Congress is
alone competent to think and talk on public
affairs. -.-... -.
His onslaught on the Uaioa for daring to
print views antagonistic to his own, he being
