The RESULT OF HIS LABoRs.-The action re-
turns from Missouri point with unerrng force to the
appreciation of COL Bentons present labors by his
old constituents. For thirty years he was their
honored and trusted representative in the Senate of
the United States for most ofthat time being almost
worshipped by them. Then he was perhaps the
srictest Democratic party discipnarian in the
try, and the maintenance of his party's discipline
babe fair to place him sooner or later in the Presi
dency. He made false step-stumbled and fell
upon the Texas question His subsequent labors
have been to satisfy the world that it was not COL
Benton but the great Democratic organization that
committed the grave mistake on that occasion. His
temper, previously imperous, and his manner prone
to be insulting to those opposing his views, have
become the first insanely violent in political con-
troversy, and the latter brutay blackguardsh when
