SENATOR BENJAMIN, of Louisiana, spoke in the
Senate last Wednesday in response to the Pres
den,'s veto of the bill for making improvements
at the mouth of the Mississippi river. He quoted
from repeated messages of the President,in which
the Executive had expressed his Willingness to
approve bills for internal improvements Of which
the national Importance was apparent. provided
they were presented for his signature separately
and severally, instead of being put in combina.
ton with others of more questionable nature.
The Senator therefore, felt warranted in saving
that the President had invited Congress to pass
separate bills making appropriations Tor inprov,
ments whose nationality was undouhtrd The
particular bill in question was Il single bill, aud
The nationality Of its object he thought was in
contestible, If any internal Improvement could
possess the attribute of nationality. BY the
stipufations Of the ousiana purchase, the local
Jurisdiction of the Mississippi river, at its mouth,
is denied to the State of Louisiana That mouth
is the natural outlet of fourteen States aud five
immense Territories the outlet for more than
one half of the whole oi the country, aud
for about two ffihs of it, whole population: 80
great is the region, and 80 large the population
directly connected with thi- river. Bat il is not
too much TO say, argued the speaker, that the
Atlantic States equally interested in it, i'm
provempnt "a u great channel OF com nercr. The
nationality If the measure seemed unleniable.
He therefore. had learned with great Surprise
that the President rs avowed in his recen, mes
seges had now entirely changed his principles
on the subject of internal improvements. and in
contradiction with his former expostions, now
put himself in opposition TO the entire system,

The Boston Atlas has not been fascinated by
the recent oratorical displays of Mr.. Buchanan.
Gen. SCOTS speeches, it says, were pretty Sc
verely qnizzed in the democratic ne wspapers, aud
we are willing to admit that they were the speech
of bluff soldier. trained not in Congress but
in the camp. But with all his advantages, we
cannot see that Mr. Buchanan is doing much
better than Gen. Scott did He has not, ii is
true, said any thing yet about the fine Irish bro
gue' or the sweet German accent" but wher-
ever he has been, the stream of true barney has
poured from his lips very profusey. He told the
Baltimoreans how anxious he was tn settle in
their city when he boy, and how he couldn't,
on account of severe attack Of home sickness.

And then aeain:

Previous 10 the passage Of the bill. in the House
of Representative, granting larg" pnri"n-of ih'
public lands to III. State If Alabama, f.l Rail
rond improvements, Mr Ltclrr, Of Virginia.
-nd
Already bills had been passed TO aid in tae con-
struction of Railroads In the states of Iowa, Vi
consin and Florida, and II this bill shoald pass three
thousand miles OF Rtrold Wudid nave been proNl-
ded for by donations Of the public land by the Cen
eral Government. The platform of the Democratic
party declared that no gener system OF internal n-
proyemeps ought To receive the sanction Of the fcd-
eral Government that it anti-Demoeratie and
in violation Of the princ pies recognised by the plry
vet the gentleman from Alabama, who commit
ted against the policy OF such system, was found
supporting these Railroad bills. He complained #
the nasty manner in which measures of this charas-
ter We're forced through the House and denied that
they calculated to advance the interests OF the
actual settler rs lands thus donated were held by
corporations and sold in the market at any price that
could be obtained for them, The country was al
ready very nearly controlled by corporations, and he
predicted that in ten years Illinois would feel the
political influence of the Central Railroad Of that
State, work constructed by the MD of Goyernma nt
The effect of the passage OF these bills most in
furious to the old soldiers for whom Congress had
provided and since the passage VI the Railroad bill
last week land warrants had scnsibly deprecated in
value
That is one aspect of Democracy. Another is
that which produces the results of which Mr..
Leteher complains. In such a state of things.
and while he finds himself,and those who concur
in sentiment with him, wholly unable to prevent
the sequestration of the public lands, we wonder
that IT does not occur TO one noted for com
mon sense and practical views, as Mr.. Letcher
that the best thing now to be done is for each
state to receive that share of tho public lands,or
their proceeds, which would result from rateable
division of the whole. TIL ink of it Mr.. Letcher.

their guard. No man is snfe The most molten
sive democrat in our midst may he torn from the
embrace Of an affeciionnte family and made
Presidential candidate Of. No ohscurty Of life nor
innocence Of desert affords protection. Democ-
raoy is rs searching as it isrestess. Likp cleo
trieity it goes every where. No dark unfathom-

the mnutest and mildest gem. 1t is nm awful thing
to think of. Democracy like great ogre demands
a human sacrifice, and is respecter of persons
