We know that Of the most decided opponents
of the administration have conceded that Mr. Smiths vim
dcaon of the policy of the President complete and
triumphant Mr. Smith repeed the idea that the Kansas
bill designed pro-slavery anti-slavery
ure it was intended to withdraw the slavery question
from Congress and commit it to the bona fdt inhabitants
of the Territory there TO be settled they might deem

view of the law taken by the President and that to
its faithful execution his exerons had been promptly and

A MARVELLOUS PROPHECY.

The New York Evening Post, well known the New
York organ of Col Benton, gives publicity to the follow
ing result Of his communication with the "sprits" in
gard to the future destiny Of his sonnlaw COL Fremont:
"CoL. Benton PRoPHET-One of the predictions with
which COL Benton wont quite frequently to entertain his
intimate friends begins to acquire degree Of interest just
which does not ordinarily attach to the prophetic dreams
Of politicians eminent In escantng upon the
rious talents and virtues of his soh-inaw, Mr. Fremont
than whom person engrossed more OF his pride or
thoughts he always accustomed to conclude with the
mark that the young hero destined day to be the
President of this country that he had just the qualities for
great President and could not fail Of reaching the emf
nence for which they peculiarly fitted him.
These predictions, when made, regarded by many
merely pardonabe ebuitons Of paterna PRIDE and moth
ing but the events of the last week. and the enhusi-
asic echoes which the nomination of Mr. Fremont, at
Philadelphia and in this city have awakened every quar-
Of the Unon justify the belief well the hope that
the election in November will prove that COL Benton If
prophet is at least Xa excellent judge of the
kind of timber from which Presidents made
a." revealed to him. however, any of his spirit
ua exaaons that he would be of the number of those who
would oppose the verfcation of his prophecy That
ever circumstance which only renders the prophecy
more marvellous"
The Post ntmRtes pretty broadly that Colonel Benton
is opposed 10 the vercation of his prophecy II this
be 30 he is pursuing singular in trying to divide
the democratic of Missouri and thereby increasing
the chances Of Mr. Fillmore for the of that State and
consequently the chances OF throwing the election into the
House. where Colonel FrGmonts chances would DO much
better than before the people Again if Colonel Benton
is really opposed to the election of Colonel Fremont be-
comes matter of interest to know what that gentleman
has done change radically the good opinion that his
athern-law had Of him Can the Post tell what Colonel
Fremont has done that is bad that Colonel Benton win
not support him 2

gf' at pracipe Of the kansss bill we had believed that
Ar Foster anxious understand this great principle
should have felt disposed 70 sympathze in his apparent
embarrassment but II struck mind that he started
out the search with the expectation of being disap-
pointed and that he abored mach TO keep the great prn
cple out of his sight for fear he might understand IT,
There is one thing We are sure Mr. Foster under
sand--tbat the Kansas bill eonfers the inhabitants
Of Kansas all the power in regard TO slavery which
Congress possesses If as he contends Congress has
sovereign power the subject then Congress has
ferred sovereign power the inhabitants and in that
view ii is infinitely better than that Congress should
exercise this sovereign power If the other hand,
Congress only has the power regulate and protect
slavery in Kansas as other property then that is all
the power conferred the inhabitants Whether then
the inhabitants have sovereign power or only the power
to regulate and protect slavery property depends on
the question whether Congress has the power the
other under the constitution II is, therefore, clearly
constitutional and consequently judicial question,
whether the inhabitants have sovereign limited powers
on the subject The Kansas bin coners whatever power
Congress has under the constitution and leaves the Su-
preme Court to determine, judicial question, how
much power is conferred This is what is meant by eay
ing the inhabitants free to form regulate their domestic
institutions in their way subject only to the consti-
tutionhat is subject to the judicial exposition OF that
instrument whenever the question shall arise. .6t
Mr. Foster concluded by asserting and aborng to show,
that Congress has sovereign power over the question OF
slavery in Kansas and we understood him to derive il
from the power to acquire and hold territory Mr. Bena
min followed in few remarks complimentary of the tone
and temper of Mr. Fosters speech; when, motion Of
Nr Weller the several propostons were recolomtted TO
the Committee on Territories. # n#. s.## .M@

DEATH OF NON. T. II. BAYLY.

It's with feelings Of deep regret that we announce the
death Of Hon. T. II. Bayly, for many years the dsn-
guished representative Of the first congressional district oil
Virginia he expired at his residence in Accomac county,
early hour Sunday morning last In announcing
this sad event the Petersburg (ya) Express says:
"Judge Bsyly member Of the present Congress from
the FIRST district and widely knewn, not only in Viz

member Of the Virginia legislature and by that body was
elected Judge OF the circuit court. He resigned thus '
post OF honor offer for Congress, and elected py
large majority At each succeeding election his constituent"
havo returned him BY increased maores thus showing h
high confidence they reposed in him. As chairman OF the
Committee Of Ways and Means In she last and two or three
preceding sessions Of Congress he exhibited craftsmanship Of
a high order, and debater no had few superiors.
"In this city his death viii be deeply smented BY very
large circle Of friends and acquantances He was more

the case Of the who has thousand dollars in

would you not they do, on the high prices for

policy reduce the price Of labor dogn the point viii
barely sustain life Such gentlemen, is the position Of
those who oppose MISUNDERSTANDING by the side OF
Great Britain with her iron heel upon the necks of

abroad"
Here we have il clearly demonstrated that far from
being the enemy the Shareholder is the natural friend and
ally of the free laborer So far from reducing the wages
of the aborers either of the North South his energies
are increasingly exerted to raise these wages The south

DEMOCRACY AT A HIGH PREMIUM,

The New York Tribune dweIls with emphasis on the
fact that Col Fremont has been anything but dem
ocra and thinks this circumstance gives him stronger
claims the country than Mr. Buchanan inasmuch he
was for time a foderast We gratiRed to sec even
the Tribune paying high compliment TO democracy.
1t only few years ago that the Tribune considered II
objectionable political sin to be democrat; now how
ever democracy good that Mr. Greeley looks for all
the high officers Of the government among those who
claim the honor Of having been democrats The difference
between Mr. buchanan and Col Fremont this point is
striking than the contrast between their respec
tive qualifications the Of ability experience wis
dom, public service, and craftsmanship Mr. Buchanan
was democrat when Col Fremont had just escaped from
his swaddling clothes and what deserves to be specially
noted Is that he is democrat yet Col Fremont started
out democrat but good thing democracy is, he
abandoned It and became black republican the very
time when the fidelity Of all democrats needed to pre-
serve the integrity Of the constitution and the Union Mr.
Buchanan started wrong but than thirty years ago
got right and has remained so ever since COL Fremont
started right but backsid and got wrong and is now
wrong Mr. Buchanan quit federalism and embraced de
mocracy Colonel Fremont quit democracy and embraced
federalism and black republicansm combined. Yet the
Tribune dwes on Col Femons democracy as his leading
recommendation

FREMONT AND SEWARD.

The Albany Argus says that the political managers Of
the black republican convention desired the nomination
and election Of Mr. Seward Of all other men, be
doubted That they had the influence and power have
effected his nomination equally clear The explanation
Of the omission to make him their candidate is to be found
only the reluctant conviction to which they driven
that he could not be elected And the only reason why
he could not be elected bis complete Identification with
the cause and the fact that votes would be Tor him
except by men who approved the principles Of the black
republican movement. Hence the necessity which the
leaders felt of putting up candidate who could cajoe The
public and secure votes from really opposed TO the
principles Of the party which pat him in nomination. In
other words these politicians in order TO enter the
paign with chance Of success driven TO Their
old game Of humbugging and chesting the people. 1
