B@- Col. Benton has published in the
National Intelligencer a note denying the
statement made by Horace Greedy, in the
late Pitsburg convention, that Col. Benton
was in favor of abolishing slavery in Mis-
siouri. He says: "As | never spoke a
word with Mr.. Greedy on the subject OF
slavery, he must have his information from
some third person, and from some one who
is ignorant of my whole language and con,

sILLIMAN FEMALE INSTITUTE.

1t would be a very poor affectation were we
to say anything less, in speaking Of The SILL
MAN FEMALE INSTITUTE, than it has opened I'M
der the most favorable auspices; either as to
teachers or patronage; auspices which are Of
such favorable issue as to give its liberal
founders an almost certain realization of their
every hope.
In view Of this, its present principal chose
not an organization that did not anticipate
time; as no pains were to be spared in the Sc
lection Of assistant teachers, lest such might
be secured as were merely educated, without
being also practical and tutorial. For moth
ing is TO be more zealously regarded in the
selection of scholastic faculty, than to blend
scholarship with professional ability. This
delay anticipated a purpose of great advantage
to the benefits of an Institution Of public in
stance and liberal foundations; in as much as
the progressions Of the one commensurate the
purposes of the other; for where the teacher
succeeds the patrons are reciprocally benefited.
The Seminary is one Of no sectaran charac-
ter; and claims no UNCONVENTIONAL existence,
yet religion is strongly characteristic phase of
its teachers, its books and its discipline; and
insignifcantly indeed would fall to the earth
as a weed, every promise Of the Board of Trus-
tees and the Faculty, and also the hopes of its
patrons were the pupils of the Institute, what
ever might be their scholarship, sent out into
the world, ungnarded by christian influences.
All cholarship-howeyer unbounded may be
its researches or its resources, is but "wasted
wind" compared with that knowledge, which
tends towards Heaven. The highest ultima.
tum education can reach, is but to amcliorate
the human condition, by encouraging its as
pirations towards God, and giving favor
able inclination to the obliquities of erring man.
Were these not the high purposes Of education,
better would it be than they should become
agents of anything else, that our colleges and
academies were in ashes.
We now have ON Institution whose course
of study is liberal without being voluminous.
A great error in education is to peruse null.
tiplicity of texts in the very short time usually
allotted to education. The increasing patron.
age of the Institute promises permanency and
we sincerely hope also emolument to its wor.
thy principal.

SHAMELESS RECKLEssNEss.

He had been chiefly known to the American
people from his connection with Gen. Jackson.
From that great man he had learned the essen.
tial principles of Americansm. That man had
uttered the sentiment which now met with
such sympathy-That America should become
more Americanized. The speaker had been
thirty years with Gen. Jackson, and had
speeches and letters from him by the thousand.
a J. Doneison al Philadelphia.
The renegade who has been rewarded by
the empty honor Of Know Nothing nomina-
ton for the Vice Presidency, uttered this
precious string of twaddlc and egotism in re-
turning thanks for the compliment. He tells
two truths, however The first, that he had
been chiefly known to the American people
through his connection with Andrew Jackson;
and the second that the connection lasted thirty
years. Had it not been for his relationship
with Mrs. Jackson, her nephew would have
led that life Of obscurity which his very medi.
OGRE capacity rendered probable as his destiny.
But in saying that from the illustrous Andrew
jackson he had learned the essential principles
of Amcricansm," Major Donelson was guilty
Of reckless calumny upon reputation which
is dear to the entire people Of this Republic;
and could the dead but be alive again ana
speak, he would thunder in the ears Of him who
uttered it a terrible denial Of the statement; the
noble, hgbsoulcd, fearless Andrew Jackso |
would no more have consented to consort with
Andrew j. Donclson and his Know Nothing
crew, than would the proud Eagle stoop to
companionship with the carrion crow. Hi'
Americanism was Of far different stamp from
that which has late become the mode with the
disappointed, the intriguing and the adyentu
rous among our public men, lie never dreamed
of 'Americanizing America through the mean;
of silly defamation about STARS and Stripes,
America for Americans" "No Popery" anC
the like nonsense; and Major Donelson cannot
produce one word uttered, or one line writer
by that great and good man which will Civ,
the slightest coloring of truth to this calumny
upon his uutarnishcd fame. From Maine t
: Texas there should be among those who cher
ished his memory, one united outbnrst Of dis
gust and Indignation at this shameless attempt
to lug in the name Of the Hero of the Hermit
age as the sponsor Of anything whatever per
tanning to Know Nothingism, as illustrated a

nara curious eoninnctnre is noticed by the
Washington Union in the formation of the
National American ticket, and though it is
urged by the Union for partisan purposes, it
still may be- mentioned as an amusing illustra-
ton of the old adage, that "politics makes
strange bedfeows." Mr. Donclson, the NOM
inee for the Vice Presidency, was the proprie-
tor and editor of the Washington Union during
the administration of President Fillmore. His
yirulent hostility to that administration has
left Oh record, in paper edited by himself,
charges, denunciations and, in fact, every
variety of materials for partisan warfare, which
the present editors of the Union propose to
exhume and use against the ticket. Had Mr..
Doneson foreseen, during his editorship of the
Union, that such a contingency as the present
was possible, he would no doubt, have dealt
more gingerly with the Wing administration
The case should be warning to editors of
leading journals how they denounce and malign
prominent individuals.

PHILADELPHIA X. N. CoSyESrIoN SoMIYA-
TIoNs.-Those obsolete party hacks, Willard
Fillmore aud Andrew J Donelson, have been
selected as the candidates of the Odrer for
President and Vice President. The former is
not unknown to fame as the author Of the cele-
bratcd Erie Letter, the persistent Freesoil
agitator while in Congress, and, while Presi-
dent, the apologist of a mob of Boston fugitive
slave law nnlfers, and the condemner of Crit
tenden and compatrots TO the garote, as ont
laws and pirates. Nor have southerners forgot
ten the wanton outrage he committed upon the
honor and sovereignty of Mississippi by the
Illegal and arbitrary arrest Of her Governor,
John A. Quitman in 1851. We confess to no
little qualification that an opportunity is offer
ed to the people of the south to pass Judgment
on that UNANIMOUSLY wanton and outrageous
proceeding.
As for Donolson the associate of Fillmore,
we know not what commended him to the favor
of the Know nothing leaders, unless it be the
fact that he was the nephew-in-law of his uncle
inaw, Gen. Jackson, and traitor from the
Democratic ranks. His last appearance on q
public theatre was in the character of editor
of the Washington Union, position he
was compelled to abandon because of the higl,
toned federal doctrines which he advocated il
its columns. This merited treatment embt
tered him against the Democratic party, ant
when Mr.. Pierce refused to give him foreign
appointment or to clotlc his son-inlaw hope
full John Wilcox with a like honor, the measur,
of his wrath was futile left the party for
