Mr.. Bsnton.-The reading public will be
highly amused with the speech of Col. Ben.
ton, delivered yesterday, inasmuch as rising
to deliver an eulogy upon General jackson 6
life and public services, he launched of into
one upon his own. The drift Of his remarks
was that General jackson was great man
owing, however, to the fstherly care which
Col. Benton aforesaid exercised over him. 1,
seemed as though the General did little OF
nothing in bis long career Of importance in
it's effect upon the future Of his country, which
was not, after all, fairly attributable to the
sagacity, foresight, energy and indomitable
patriotism Of the gallant Colonel. On the
whole, during the delivery Of this funny ad.
dress, there was more thrusting Of honorable
