Col. Benton on BKEAp.-This hale and

fact is no doubt attributable in part to his

ence from every form of intoxicating drink
The following ancedote explains still another
source of his green oil age. On being as
ked lately. at the house of friend, to take
n crackr and glass Of wine, "Old Bullion"
responded: .-...-..--
"Unleavened bread, sir, said the Colonel;
'' sir, unleaveRed bread, sir the word cracker
is not to be found either in the scripture or
in any Of my works. 1t is unleavened bread,
ST from Laro, larare, Latin, to lift, or to

that has not been raised, sir. Yes, sir
thank you, sir, will have one or two pieces,
Dir, of unleave ed bread, sir.
Unleavened baead is as much supeoior 10
any form Of raised bread, in its life sustain
ing properties, as pure water-is to weak
wine. Indeed, weak wine o. beer and water,
as beverages, hold precisely the same rela-
ton to the organism that unleavened and
fermcnted breads do as foods. When peo-
pie understand this principle, they will be

SLAVERY IN OREGON.
Dnna nfIrhnN v Hrihnna


SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 1857.
Learn from late numbers OF The TRIBUNE that
Won expect triumph for the PrO-Slayery party IN
Oregon. That party has claimed this for the last
year; and the claim WAS made with 30 much comb
dence that the Republicans deemed an organization
and energetic opposition necessary To defeat IT, lhey
took measures to establish press and wrote to THE
city for an editor. They offered complete printing
establishment and liberal salary to any one who
would undertake the publication. Suddenly the zeal
and confidence Of the Pr0-S,avery men abated The
Democracy refused TO make the issue, and even
among the Chivary scarcely man could be found
who protested to desire the introduction Of Slavery
into Oregon. Under such circumstances, Repub.
Gcan paper was deemed unnecessary. 1t would
have nothing to dO-n0 reliable enemy 10 contend
with-and of course could not be well sustained. 1t
would be accused Of unnecessary agitation OF an
exciting subject. Consequently, the project was
abandoned learned recently, from men who ought
to be well posted on the subject, that they expect
most confidently TO carry the State for Freedom
hope they may not be disappointed, but confess
have my misgiyings. My observation of the con-
tests with Slavery and of the tactics OF her cham
pons does not authorize me 10 place the least conf
dence in their professions On the contrary
believe their whole object is 10 throw the Repub-
icsns of their guard and prevent any determined
effort in behalf Of Freedom. If the result does not
prove this, l shall be most happily disappointed.
If the Propagandsts have any other motive for their
seeming indifference it must be the result of their
having ascertained that the spontaneous sentiment
of the people is so decidedly against them that any
effort ON their part would be useless. hope it is
so; but their cause must be hopeless indeed when
that party suffer verdict to 60 against them by
default.
To give the evidence 10 justify my suspicious
would be TO repeat the history of political trug-
IN, lNnl fhN 80 lash had
existence and of those in other States for still
longer period. 1t might be profitable to cite few
cases in points but as the hour Tor closing the mail
is at hand must omit them. ARGUS.
