Old Bullion = ust Before the Election.
We were permitted 10 hear the closing speech,
of the old hero, Benton, on saturday evening
About ten thourand persons were present torch
es and traHsparencies lent a lurid glare to the
scene; two bands of music We're On the ground
and the innumerable throng surged and shouted
asithe pairable hits fell in perpetual shower
from the old mans eloquent lips. 1t was scene
long TO be remembered. Benton is himself won
der He is seventy.four years OF age, and dur
ing the last six weeks has travelled over a thou
sand miles, visiting all parts Of the State, and
stirring up the popular enthusiasm against the
enormitcs of the Pierce and Atchison DYNASTY.
The speech itself was full of good things and If
in rhetorical point Of view it could hardly be
caleda great speech, it was grand mosaic of
wit, sarcasm and personal vindication from the
aspersion ofenemies 1t told wen upon the i'm
mense assembiage, and the cheering that marked
every paase, broke upon the night like the roar
of Niagara. On the whole, it was night of
which Benton and his friends may well be prond.

"Fhe question to be decided at the ensuing

States. All the aspects of our political atmos.

Whether it shall sweep this Union from its foun-

whom the people shall choose to pilot them
through the coming storm. In my Judgment.
that man is JONI CHARLES FREMONT I have

party that selected him. Personally. ! know
him not; but have read the history of his life.
and believe him TO be a man as much marked
oat by Providence for the present cxigency of
our nation as Washington was for that of our
American Revolution. He comes from whence
great men usually do come, from the mass Of
the people Nursed in difficulties; practiced in
surmounting them; wise in council; full of re-
sources; seli-possessed in danger; fearless and
foremost in every useful enterprise unexcep.
tionable in morals with an intellect elevated by
nature, and cultivated in laborious fields of dn-
ty,-l trust ne is destined to save this Union
from dissolution; TO restore the Constitution to
its original purity and to relieve that instru-
ment, which Washington designed for the pre-
servation and enlargement of Freedom from be-
ing any longer perverted to the multiplication of
Slave States and the extension of Slavery" ~
