Some rich extracts from COL Benton's recent
speech at st. Louis are published on the first
page of this paper. 1t will be seen that the
Colonel denounces everything connected with
the Democracy, except Old Buck, whom he pro-
fesses to support most cordially. The Washing
ton Union and other Democratic papers have
very naturally accused him of treachery to the
party Mr.. Buchanan, however, does not ap
prove of the course of his friends. The St. Louis
Democrat Bentons organ, says that Buchanan
has demonstrated with the Union against re-
petition Of such articles, and ''has sent his as
surances to Colonel Benton of his gratitude tt
him for his exertions in his behalf in Missouri
and his regret at the hostility to him manifested
by portion of the Democratic party, but il
which he never participated"
This is singular state Of affairs. Bentor
denounces the party of which Buchanan is the
leader, he holds up to public reprobation the
Convention which nominated Buchanan, ant
spits upon the Platform into which Buchanan
declares his personal identity has been merged
and yet Buchanan sends him assurances of hi
gratitude for his exertions in his behalf. Wha
does il mean2

Dinner at Marlborough.

We learn from gentleman who was present
that on Saturday last quite q pleasant affair
came off at Millboro', On the day before, the
Board of public Works, their Secretary, the edi.
tor of the Richmond Examiner and some hall
dozen other gentlemen, as guests of the Board
of Directors of the Central Railroad Company
went up to the terminus Of the road. On Satur.
day morning the party made an examination o.
the four miles of road lying between Millboro
tunnel and Pads creek summit These foul
miles of road are through the most difficult
mountain passes ever penetrated in this coun-
try by the iron horse. We understand that the
work on the Blue Ridge road is a mere ''ci,-
cumstance" to these four miles.
After returning from the examination the party
met at our old friend Dickinson's where most
sumptuous dinner was discussed, and afterwards
there was "a feast of reason and flow of sonl''
in divers patriotic internal Improvement speech
es. In the evening all returned to Stanton on
the down train

The Way They Work.

Mr.. Faulkner, of Virginia, chairman of the
National Democratic Resident Committee" at
Washington, has been sending out circulars to
prominent Democrats soliciting q variety of very
curious information. He is particularly anxious
to know all about the Germans French, Dutch
QHollanders,) Norwegians and Swedes in the re-
spective localities-not one inquiry about the
Irish But the strangest circumstance is that
Mr.. Faulkner asks, with most unaccountable Gu
riosity, ''to what religious denominations do the
German, French, Dutch, Norwegian or Swedish
voters in your county belong9" The Democra-
cy have all along made it capital objection to
the American party, that it mingled religion
with politics, and here we find them doing the
same thingi
As Mr.. Faulkner has been placed by his party
in prominent position, it is interesting to learn
what he thought of Mr.. Fillmore only four years
ago. In speech delivered at that time to ex-
cuse his apostacy from the Wing party, he said !:
IL would have been pleased to record my vote
for that eminent man, whose name will forever
appear on the rolls of legislation, appended to
the fugitive slayel law, as having constitution
ally sanctioned and approved it, and who has
sought honestly and faithfully to execute it,"

From KANSAS. A despatch from Rock IS
land. July %, says: General Stringfellow and
other citizens OF Preston issued handbill on
July 9Th, calling on all Missourians to 60 over
to Kansas before August, to vote at the Novem-
Der election under Toombs' bill.
We learn by mail that Lanes party of 300
persons, including women and children, crossed
the Missouri to Nebraska City on Monday. Gen.
Smith says if Lane enters Kansas he will arrest
him if it costs him $500. Lane will remain in
Iowa unless the Missourians attempt to intercept
his party Six hundred Missourians are said to
be organized at st. Joseph to intercept Lanes
party. There will be battle ifthey attempt it.
Ninety Cnicagoians and thirty Massachusetts,
men expected to join Lane at Nebraska City.
Gen. Harvey left Council Bluffs on Monday
for Kansas. There are 800 Mormons at Coun-
Gil Bluffs 500 miles west of Iowa City, Several
hundred others are hear it.

TIE SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY AND THE NEBRASKA
BI11.-The Charleston Mercury, an ardent sup.
porter of old Bucks pretensions. abiding tc
the bill introduced into the Senate by Toombs
and Douglas for the pacifcaton of Kansas, has
the following remarks, which so to show that
the Southern Democracy are beginning to re-
pudate this test measure" as practical fail
ure" The Mercury says:
"The Kansas Nebraska bill is not only prac-
teal failure, but Senator Douglas is himself
forced to confess it, and even to introduce bill
into the Senate which proposes in the face OF
it's principles Congressional Intervention. n
1t virtually admits that the people of Kansas
connot take care of themselves, cannot decide
pcaceably the question ofslavery, and that moth
ing but Intervention by Congress'-the very
evil which Mr.. Douglas has constantly denounced
and which the Kansas Nebraska bill aimed to
suppress-can save that Territory from anarchy.
Mr.. Douglas, the great champion Unpopular SOW
ereignty, is no Z the advocate of Congressional
intervention"

The Democratic Rally.

On Monday last, Gully Court an unusually large
number of citizens of the county assembled in
town, with the expectation of hearing speeches
from Senators Douglas, Toombs, Pugh, Hunter,
Mason, &C., &c, &c. But it so happened that
none of these gentlemen were present, the pub
lie business, no doubt, having detained them in
Washington. The Hon. John Letcher, however.
arrived on Sunday evening, and addressed the
people on Monday in behalf of the Cincinnati
nominees Thos J. Niche, Esq, of this place,
also made speech. We especially regret the
absence Of Senator'S Douglas and Pugh, two of
those "recreant individuals" who, according to
the Richmond Enquirer, are engaged in de
bauching and demoalizing" the Democratic

HERBERT AcoUTTED.-The Herbert case was
concluded on Friday last and given to the jury
who after retiring for three-quarters Of an houl

ment was received with much satisfaction by the
friends of the prisoner who Immediately sur

Towards the close of the trial some very sharp
words passed between the opposing counsel. A
difficulty also occurred between Mr.. Radcliffe
one of the counsel. and Ex-Mayor Lenox, by
stander, in which the latter called the former q
liar. A challenge is said to have passed, and
both parties were subsequently arrested to pre-

CALIFORNIA AND CENTRAL AMERIcA-By the
arrival of the Granada, at New Orleans we have
a telegiaphic synopsis of intelligence from San
Francisco to the 18th inst. and from San Juan
to the 21st. The Vigilance Committee were
still in session at San Francisco and maintained
autocratical control over the city and State.
The Law and Order party were completely pow
erless, the arms gathered by them having been
seized by the Committee The Governor re-
manned at Sacramento but was unable to
do anything to put an end to the exist
ing state Of anarchy. No more executions
had taken place, but Judge Terry, of the Su-
preme Court was under arrest, for stabbing one
the Committee police whilst making an arrest.
The Illinois has arrived at New York with 81,
100000 in treasure.
From Nicaragua we learn that General Walk
er was inaugurated President on the 18th inst.
He received $4,000 out of total of p 600 votes
cast. Rivas still held possession of Leon, and
was gaining strength by the desertion of the ma
tiyes from Walker. A league of the Northern
Central American States was believed to exist |;
and an invasion of Nicaragua looked for at
the close of the rainy season. Walkers situa-
ton is evidently desperate, and the worst fea-
ture of it is that the enthusiasm in his favor has
very sensibly declined in the United States
He needs both men and money but is not likely
to have the want supplied by sympathisers in
this country.

Educational Convention,

The educational Convention which met in
Richmond last week, was quite large and very
respectable body. All the Colleges and many
Schools in the State were represented. DR.
Smith, President of Randolph Macon College
presided, and Mr.. Christians, of this place, was
one of the Secretaries. Committees on various
subjects were appointed and made partial re-
ports, but were granted further time for mature
elaboration The Convention adjourned to meet
again at the call of the Governor and Executive

Opinions of the Democratic Press.

The organs of the Southern wing of the Dem
ocracy, which has heretofore in great mea-
sure controlled the party, are very indignant at
the late action of the United States Senate, in
passing the internal Improvement bills over the
Presidents veto. They are not only indignant,
but alarmed,-there is danger of u great defec-
ton. The Columbus (MississippD Corner Stone,
a thoroughgoing Democratic paper, speaks out
very freely. 1t says: The Democratic party
is to all intents and purposes, fully federalized
as the old Wing party, and it ought to be &'cSea
out of po,oer" The Charleston Is. w. Mercury
says:
'sWe regard this last act of the democratic
party as most unfortunate for its success and
stability. No party can command the comb
dence OF the country which wears its faith so
loosely. 1t taints with suspicion and distrust
all its pledges, and brings the party into con-
tempt with honest man everywhere, and it is in
position too perious to admit of such tamper-
ings with its principles"
And even the Richmond Enquirer, with all
its skill in explaining away the inconsistencie,
of the party and its present leader, is obliged to
enter Protest" against this act. See what
the Enquirer says:
Against the traditional policy of the party,
against its latest declaration of principle in the
Cincinnati Platform, and despite the protest Of
the President, three Internal Improvement bills
have been enacted by the aid of Democratic
votes Never have we known the mass of the
Democracy in this State, and we may say thro-
ont the South, so Inundated and incensed as by
this instance of profigate subservisncy to loca
prejudice. No occurrence since the organiza
ton of the Democratic party has so shaken the
faith of the people in its firmness and fidelity
Our only consolation is, that it is not within the
power of few recreant individuals to debaucf
and demoralize our noble party"
"The aid of Democrat votes !"-why, q ma
jority Of the Senators voting for the bills were
Democrats-the Democracy themselves did the
thing, with ''the aid" of few others. "a few
reereant Individuals - Who? Cass recreant
Douglas recreant? Bright, Bayard, Slidell, Wei
ler, Pugh, Stuart-all these recreant2 "Not with

demoralizing the party. Very noble party,
when such men, and the majority at that, ar
engaged in such work. In the mean while tn
work goes on bravely-the Senate has passe'
several more internal improvement bills.
But how will Old Buck goa No doubt witt
Cass, Douglas, Bright, Bayard, Brown, Dodge

but unfortunately, the Pennsylvania Senator wa

| STAUNToN know no more agreeable
place of resort in summer than the town of
Stanton. 1t is situated in the coolest and
heathiest spot of Virginia No wind ever blows
that is not obliged to pay tribute to Stauntor,
except malarious and unhealthy winds which
are not permitted to cross the Blue Ridge. Such
thing as an epidemic was never known in
Staunton. The inhabitants generally live to an
exceeding old age ,and at last "dry up and blown
away" The 'oldest inhabitant," whose where
abouts has so long been matter OF universal in
ouirv and discussion, resides in Stanton. The
aboriginal inhabitants of that region, it is believ
ed. would never have died, but for the rruption
of the Scotch Irish, the most successful savage
killers on the continent In the Revolutionary
war. the enemy was unable to reach Stanton.
His foot was never permitted to profane the
sacred soil of Augusta. That is the region to
which Gen. Washington referred in that declar-
alton so seldom quoted on political and patriotic
occasions-"Give me but banner" DC. Wash
inrton well knew that if he could station his
army in Augusta, the British would not only
never be able to dislodge them, but that every
man of them would survive the British govern
ment. A man from the lowlands, with chills
and fever. was once seen in Staunton. The peo-
ple looked upon him with the wonder with
which we should regard man with the leprosy.
He was considered greater curiosity than the
Natural Bridge or Weyer's Cave. SO much for
the healthfulness of Stanton. Its society is rs
refined, educated, and hospitable as that of any
place in Virginia. Its gentlemen are fire speci-
mems of manly, intelligent, whole souled Vir-
ginians its ladies are the flowers of the universe.
Stanton ought to be great summer resort for
the people of the East. There ought to be any
number of cottages on the surrounding hills, oc-
cupied every summer by our peregrinating and
parboiled population Richmond Despatch.

ing address 'to the Democratic Electors of the
State of New. York, from prominent member

since he had vote has invariably cast it for the
whole Democratic Ticket l speak to You as
one. who loves the Union of these States above
all party considerations. | appeal to you to
save this glorious Empire State from the en-
brace of Black Republicanism and Disunionism
Do YOU ask how is this to be done? Bear with
me then while relate a little OF my experience
have Just returned FROM tour through Central
and Western New York. ! have found the
party to which you and | are attached, most
treacherously betrayed by those who have hltn-
erto ranked as it leaders. In Central New II rR
these leaders have almost in o body gone over
to Stewards protege, Col. Fremont. The same
is true of portions of the extreme west The
masses have followed these traitors and the re-
suit IS, the Democratic Party is well nigh ami
hilated Now perceive that we have duty &c
perform to our country which overrides oil party
lines The election Of Fremont, should consl,
der as one of the greatest calamities that could
possibly befall the nation. How can we best
prevent it, is the very natural lnquiryf
answer, Sare the State Of Neao York, and thus
throw the election of President into the House
If the Democratic party are so unwise as to no
inmate Buchanan Electoral Ticket, one impor
tant step is taken the direct result of which is
to almost insure the State for Fremont. l have
some confidence in the honest Democratic mass
es. | believe they love the Union, and mean
that it shall be perpetual. ! believe they love
it far more than their party, and hope and trust
that they will adopt the only possible way OF
s'crushing out its foes, and that is by voting for
Fillmore and Donelson. A democratic friend at
my elbow, suggests that if we adopt this course
it may lead to the election of T. Il D. by the
people. Well grant there is possibility OF
that, for the Tribune" admits that Mr.. Fillmore
has an element of positive strength equal to 100,
600 votes, but what then3 We know Mr.. Fill
more to be true to the Union Of these States!
That consideration alone is enough to recon-
Gle me to the bare possibility Of his election
But have no sort of fear as to that. Let us
send this election into the House, and Jas. Buc-
hanan is the President or, if not, John @. Brock
enridge is.
