BENTON ON THE VETO POWER

Hon. THOMAS II. BENTON, in conversation
with friend Of ours on Sunday last, in n yer,
excited manner said. "If were President o
United States. sir, would keep bes des me a
pile Of blank vetoes, and as fast as the plumber.
ing bills passed Congress, | would send in a
veto veto !! veto y! sir; send in veto,"-
Washington Star.
The Public Ledger but expresses the
popular conviction, when il says that
Mr.. BENTON is right. Any President
who should act upon his principle would
make his Administration the most popu.
lar Of any we have had for years. There
are numbers Of schemes for plundering
the treasury which come up regularly
every year. Sometimes they are success.

ful rapacity. and the corruption which
it engenders in the Legislative he lis,
insists that the beggars shall be kicked
out of Congress without single penny.
Those who are not successful are by no
means discouraged. They concentrate
their energies for operation at the next
session, and even make the refusal O {
one Congress to grant their wishes Ga
strong presumption that they did not
deserve any such favor), an additional
argument to enforce a prompt acquies.
cence in their demands at the next
succeeding session. With this constant,
and perseverins assault upon the public
treasury, and this increasing disposition
in Congress to listen to the appeals of
interested lobbymen, it becomes the
duty Of the Executive to interpose its
power to prevent these scandalous rob.
berries Of the people. The lobbymen
have become regular fixtures at the Cap.

schemes passes through Congress, the

mate its proprietor to some good Office,
it has become almost as politically bad
as the Tribune, and the other papers Of
"that ilk," These things being so, some
pains should be taken TO increase the
circulation OF Democratic papers. Dc.
mocracy only wants fair field and free
circulation-nothing more and it should
have nothing less. Truth and facts
should be known, in order 10 have their
duo Offset; and how can they be known,
unless inculcated ? If the Democratic
papers equaled in number their antag.
onists. tho Democrats would carry not
only the State election, but triumph in
every town where right was opposed to
wrong, equal rights 10 purtial rights, and
liberality to intolerance.--NeV Haven
Register.
The above is talking exactly to the
point. If Democrats took as much
pnins to circulate newspapers as their
Wing Abolition opponents, they would
soon annihilate all the cohorts Of sec.
tionalism and iliiberality. As it is,
what Democracy there is, is just about
the spontaneous growth Of the public

A bill had been introduced into the

The first inlimation we received Of the

al physicians gave no hopes Of the EN-.
peror's recovery. The news Of the de!

nounced Immediately on the meeting Of
the House OF Lords; and the lords deem.
ed the intelligence sufficiently authentic
to justify on adjournment at the request
Of Lord Clarendon.
"Whether this unlooked for event will
facilitate the negotiation for peace now

impossible to say; but if the Emperor
Alexander is as strongly inclined to
peace as We have been led 10 believe,
we think it is no: unlikely that the vi,

FOUR MEN MURDERED.

From the Lincoln Gazette, published
at Troy, Mo-, Of the date Of tho Cd, w
learn the particulars OF one OF the mos
unparalleled outrage ever committed
In Missouri. The deed Of rapine and
blood Is said to have been perpetrated
in Monroe or Montgomery Counties
and is related thus in the Gazette:
A gentleman residing in one OF the
above.named Counties had sold farm
for tho sum Of two thousand dollars,
and the money was deposited in his
house. After the sale had been made,
he went some distance from his home to
attend to some business matters, and up.
on returning, found it necessary to stop
for the night ut house two or three miles
from his own. At q late hour in the
night, he awoke from his sleep, very
much impressed with dream, IN which
he imagined that his wife and children
wero in a distressed condition, and need.
cd his presence. He related his sin.
gular dream to the gentleman with
whom he was stopping, who dissuaded
him from the b.liefthat any serious con.
sequences had befallcn his family, and
finally prevailed upon him to again 60
to bed. 1t was not long, however, be.
fore he ngain awoke-having dreamed
the second time that his wfs and chill.
dren were supplicating for help.
He Immediately dressed himself for
the purpose Of going home--notwilh.
standing the enireaties Of his host to re.
main until morning. There was also
German peddler staying at the same
place, who proposed 10 accompany the
man to his own home, lest he might be
dreaming, and meet with some accident
on the way.
The two started, and in short time
came to the house, in which a. light was
discovered. This un(avorable omen, at
that hour Of the night. (it being about
3 oclock,) confirmed the husbands
worst suspicious. They approached the
house and, looking through window,
saw five men, surrounding table, bust.
ly engaged in counting and dividing the
money they had secured. The first i'm.
pulse OF the enraged husband was to
give ,ho.alarm, but the German bade the
man be silent. He then instructed him
to go to the back door and knock, upon
which the robbers would attempt to
make their escape out Of the one at
which he (the GERMANY was stationed.
The man accordingly made an alarm
at the back door, upon which the mid.
night robbers endeavoured to make their
escape. Right manfully did the German
maintain his position, while with a re.
volver he killed four Of the robbers, and
wounded the fifth, who was afterward
secured. Would that this we're the only
bloody spectacle which presented itself
at that dead hour of the night. The
most heait.rending part remains yet un.
told. A wife and two or three children
had been butchered, and lay wetering
in pools ot blood. The feelings Of
husband and father can better be i'm.
agined than described, as he beheld this
horrid spectacle.
The wounded man, having heen secu
red, made full confession in which he
stated that on organized band Of robbers
was in the country, and that the ripglead.
er lived in Lincoln or Pike County.
