THE Notwithstanding Of the pos

growing out of the appointment oil Colonel
Steptoe to the Governorship OF tha. Terri
tbry, the Louisville Journal says:
"Terrible as a collision at this time be-
tween the General Government and the
Mormons might be, we say. unhesitating-
ly, let i, come, if itmust. Let the legiti-
mate authority OF the United States be
maintained in the Territory OF Utah. even
it. in order to that end, the whole Mormon
population have to be driven out or anni-
hilated. All appearances indicate uner-
'ringly that, sooner or later, conflict be-
tween the Mormons and the lawful author.
tiles OF the nation must take place. and if
so, surely the sooner it takes place the
better. And it is especially desirable,
and vastly important that. whenever the
conflict occurs, our Government shall be
clearly and indisputably in the right, as it
certsinly will be in. asserting and main.
tanning, by force, its right to appoint the
Governor ofUtah. The Mormons ARE a
most pes,ilent people. and great many
persons insist that the General Govern
ment shall put down polygamy among
them. We have no idea that the Govern.
ment has right to attempt this. but il
has right to govern Utah as it governs
other Territories; md. as conflict at no
distant day must, from the very character
OF mormonism, and the whole conduct o
its devotees, occur from one cause or an.
other, we are not unwilling that those
horrible fanatics should take ground fol
the m maintenanceo Of their profiigate prophet
as Governor, and bring on the issue now. >

1Ir. Benton on the Compromise.

In the House OF Representatives. on the
18th ult., Mr.. Oliver, Of Missouri, read q
speech which Mr.. Benton intended TO have
delivered in reply to MIR. Mace of Ind, in
regard to Kansas. MIR. Mace had made
a motion to restore the Missousi Compro-
mise and in the course of his speech said
that no more Slave States would be ad-
nitted into the Union. MIR. Benton differ.
ed with Mr.. Mace. He said that the res
torstion of the Missouri Compromise,
would not produce peace in the country;
but would produce additional embarrass-
men,s among the settlers in Kansas. He
said that at the next session of Congress
Kansas would ask admission as State,
and that it must be admitted whether its
constitution recognized slavery or not. ).
"Kansss is part of former province
Of Louisiana. and has a right, under the
treaty between France and the United
States, to be incorporated into the Union
as soon as it can be done, in accordance
with the provisions OF the Federal Con-
stitution. The third article of the treaty
gives this absolute right whether Kansas
presents herself with or without slavery"
