great daily journal will exercise jndiciOus su-

public Institution, aud most assuredly the
courts are not excluded from the. range
Of its survey. On the contrary, there
is no place in the country where the newspaper
censor is more useful or more needed thar in the
courts We have such imbecile and foolish
judges who don't know how even to keep order
in their courts; we have 30 many miserable petit

generally 30 utterly corrupt aud debssed and

Better language could not be adopted for the pur-
pose intended, and where iE the Constitution,
the laws of the land is the Chancellor spoken of as
political officer. 1t was never Judge Lees inten-
ton that the Chancellor, such, should have any
political power, and although he merted and receiv-
ed the confidence of his Majesty man, if he was
ever his political adviser it not because of his
official station, and it at his option to give or
withhold his counsel in relation to the administra-
ton of the government.
AS one of the Justices of the Supreme Court. he
might be required to give his opinion upon impor-
tant questions of law and upon solemn occasions,
but was ian equality with all others of the Justices
in that respect.
1t would be unjust, therefore, to the memory of
one who never sought for,nor shrunk from response
bllty. that it should be understood that it his
intent in framing the Constitution TO provide that
er o6fcio, he to be invested with any political
power; and, could he speak from the grave, it is
not to be doubted that he would declare that the
Scales of Justice should be held by hand not made
tremulous by political responsibility, and that it
desirable that the Chief Justice and Chancellor of
the Kingdom should only exercise powers as Law
and Equity Judge, subject always to be controlled
by the Associate Justices.

Muggins here interrupted our conversation by
inquiring elf the half motheaten man-of-war,
with the permanently standing slumbering French
and idiosyncracies supposed to have any con-
nex0n with the tail of the comet?

The following letter from Col. Benton
was used in the canvass in St. Louis
Upon its appearance the Leader and Re-

the agitation he SO fercely denounces. We
hope the sold man" will again take the

will cost the slave holders an immense a.
mount of trouble and money, and finally
break down the institution. Here is Col.
Benton's letter.
81 saw with amazement the ABOLITION
movement in our assembly, and wrote i'm
mediately to Price, Lusk, and others at JEFF
ferson City, TO CONDEMN and REGULATE it.
They OUGHT TO HAVE CUT THEMSELVES
LOOSE FROM ME before they began a new
slavery agitation in the State contrary to
my established policy. They ought to have
made known their intentions before the cleo
iion, that might not have been DECEIVED
by them. 's
"Many friends told me that these per-
sons would turn out for Abolition in the
State as soon as the election was over, but
| could not believe in such thing. To
add State Slavery Agitation to the Nation
al Agitation, at the very moment when we
were opposing the National Agitation, was
an incredible thing. -..... q p.
For persons calling themselves my friends
to attack the whole policy Of my life, Which
was to keep Slavery .Agitataon out Of The
STATE, and get my support in the canvass by
keeping me ignorant Of what they intended
to do, is the GREATEST OUTRAGE
HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. Those who
have done it have never communicated
ONE WORD to me in justification or ex.
PLANTATION of their conduct, for it is some.
thing they can NEITHER EXPLAIN NOR JUST
IFY. They know that it was l who intro
duced the clause against Legislative Eman'
cipat,on, into the Constitution, in order te
keep the Slavery Agitation out of the State
and that my whole life has been opposed t
the agitation Of the subject. ~
