Col. Benton ON Fremont.

The Hon. Thomas Il. Benton, in letter dated
the 10th instant, recommending the withdrawal of
the Benton Electoral ticket in Missouri, thus refers
to Colonel Fremont:
"There is design here, on the part OF some,
to put up an electoral ticket for Fremont, about
which no one speaks to me- as / have character
enough to keep at distance all that class of per-
sons who, dishonorable themselves, could approach
a man with dshonorable proposition. But my
sentiments are known, and that should consider
such step as injurious under every aspect, NOR
tifying to Fremont himself from the small vote
which the ticket would receive, and injurious TO
the public, by aggravating the sectional feeling
which now arrays each half of the Union against
the other / was opposing the bringing out of
Fremont for nearly half a year before those who
charge me with promoting it knew of any such
design. There are cases in which public duty
rises above personal consideration, though there
are great many people who cannot conceive it
possible. Thus, when supported Jackson, with
whom had been on i'll terms,) thirty years ago,
the sordid motive of office was assigned for it ;
now, when / support Buchanan, with whom am
on i'll terms,) and support him against member
of my own family, the same class of persons can
see nothing in it but falsehood and treachery In
capable themselves of anything disnterested and
patriotic, they believe Others to be equally So and
attack, with base motioves, all the actions which
are above the comprehension of their political mo-
rality"
Daily American organ., 1856-08-21
Land Warrants.

The land warrant market continues depressed
and unsettled, and prices have a downward ten
dency.
The demand for immediate location OF warrants
being quite limited, and there being but little or
no disposition on the part of dealers toinvest their
funds in the article by way of speculation, We may
safely conclude that the prospects for an early ad-
vance in prices are rather gloomy at present.
The following quotations are furnished US by Will
liam T. Smithson, Banker and Land Warrant
Dealer of this city:

A CARD.

gE At meeting of the Perseverance
Fire Company, held on the evening of the goth in
stant, the following was unanimously adopted viz ::
Whereas, local article appeared in the q Organ I"
of the 18th Instant, in which IL was charged that
gross attack made upon the Anacostia and Per-
severance Fire Companies, while they were quietly
and peaceaby returning from the fire in the First
Ward, on the evening of the 10th inst, by members
of the Franklin; and, whereas, card signed by the
Secretary OF that Company appeared in the Organ
of the 18th inst prOnouncing the statements in that
article false, and avowing that the Franklin was the
Company attacked therefore,
Resoloed, That this Company, in meeting assem-
bed do hereby declare TO the public that the article
which appeared in the issue of the 18th instant con-
tains nothing but the truth and had tGey been dis
posed, the members of the Perseverance might have
even named attacks which had been made upon them
at a subsequent hour Of the night by members of the
same Company.
ResO10ed, That as the Franklin Fire Company have
stated that the could produce several eye otaeeses
to testify that the attack was first made upon their
Company, we would here positively assert and stand
prepared TO pro0e EVEN BY ADMISSION OF MEMBERS OF
THE FRANKLIN FIRE COMPANY, that the attack was
made, and provocatons given by members of the
Franklin Fire Company.
Resoyced That as the Franklin Fire Company have
stated in their Card, their intention to protect their
apparatus" and persons" thereby leading the
public to believe that they had their apparatus out on
that occasion, we would state that their apparatus
not out owing TO the fact that they do not 90 into
the First Ward to any fire.
Resot0ed, That the Perseverance Fire Compapy-
knowing what is herein contained to be true, and
facts which be proved hereby declare their de-
which may appear in print upon this subject emana.
ting from the Franklin Fire Company.

LOCATING THE SLANDER.-The Democratic pa
pers are sending round, with great industry, the
following paragraph from the Nashville Union of
August 10, 1874. 1t refers to a public meeting
at some point in Tennessee:
DoNELsoN ON THE BARGAIN AND CORRUPTION
CHARGE.-The Hon. Linn Boyd, of Kentucky, was
to have addressed the meeting on the second day,
but in the progress of the discussion, Major A. J.
Donelson, who was in the chair in the absence of
the President, announced to the meeting that he
had just received note from Mr. Boyd, informing
him that an accident in the overturning of a car
riage containing his family in the morning-in
which, however, no serious personal injury had
been sustained-would prevent him from being
present to address the meeting.
Major Donelson, on making this annunciation,
called the attention of the meeting to the fact that
Mr.. Boyd was the distinguished Kentuckian who
had charged and proved upon Mr.. Clay, in his
place in Congress- the charge of Bargain, Intrigue
and Corruption in the Presidential election Of
1925, and who had been sustained by his constitu.
ents in his course, he therefore proposed nine
cheers for Linn Boyd and the Democracy of his
district.
This may be an " old document fabricated for
the occasion, but whether IL Is or not we think Mr..
Linn Boyd viii scarcely feel complmented by the
effort to make him the scape-goat to carry Mr.. Bu-
chanan's great sin to the wilderness.
