) LARGE HAUL OF COUNTERFEIT MoNEY.-The
Cincinnati police arrested at the depot of the
Sunday evening, two men who were about to take
the cars for the West, upon suspicion of their be-
ing counterfeiters. Upon the person of one Of
them, named James Sampson. was found Sl3 900,
and .upon the other, Thomas Pullen, $1,000, all
in counterfeit 6yes of the Hadley Falls Bank. at
Holyoke, Mass The Gazette says the signatures
were very good, and the engravings much better
than that Of counterfeit money generally. The
whole face of the bill, however, particularly the
vignette, is much darker than that of the genuine
bill, and may therefore be readily detected by an
examination.

Those who suppose that the last Kanzas bill
will settle the political question that mainly
agtates the land, make the same mistake that
they did when they calculated upon the same
result from the previous bills. In the first
case, the Kanzas question is not settled, but
the agitation is renewed and strengthened
IN the second place the settlement of the Kan
zas question would not settle the great ques-
ton Of which that is only one expression.
That question constantly arises, for it is con-
stsntly pushed forward in one form or anoth-
erby the Democratic party, which has surren-
dered itself entirely to the propagation of
slavery. Every concession leads to new de-
mand, and every resistance takes some men
from the party and drives the Others further
back on the platform of slavery. The party
grows smaller but more determined, and
makes up in intrigue, in management. and in
the use of patronage, what it loses in popu-
ular sympathy and support.
Everything indicates that the next move
ment of the Democratic party in the direction
of slavery will be the revival of the slave
trade, probably under the name of appren-
ticeship. Indeed it is held in the Southern
States that such trade is strictly legal, and we
suppose that although it is in everything but
name the slave trade, although the 'appren-
tices" could be obtained only by force, al
though their condition would be identical with
that OF slaves, and there would be no way of
their returning to Africa on the expiration of
their nominal term of service. still we do not
know that the traffic, infamous as it would be.
would come within the law against the slave
trade Providence Journal.

1t is singular fact that while the Hartford
Convention" has gone down to posterity as a
name of reproach, and almost identified with
treason, Southern conventions, which avow all
that is falsely charged upon the Hartford Con-
vention. meet annually and discuss the proba-
bility and the desirability of dissolution Of the
Union, and extol the sectional power Of the
South and the advantages Of Southern repub-
lie. These conventions are styled commercial
but they are for all practical purposes, political
Their organization is political, their objects are
political and their effect, so far they have any
effect, is POLITICAL Providence Journal.
The reason for the difference in the two cases
is a very obvious one. The people Of the other
States know the New Enelanders to be sincere
people; they knew that they had great cause for
complaint, and the bare suggestion that they
might attempt secession from the Union filled
them with alarm. On the other hand, whenever
an intelligent man reads the gasconade of the fire
eaters about secession, he almost lnvoluntarily
places the end Of his thumb upon the tip of his
nose.

The DEATH OF HERBsRT.-It appears that
Henry W. Herbert, whose tragcal death has
been already recorded. married Miss Budlong
on the 10th If February last, in Newark, N. ].
Their acquaintanceship had singular origin.
She was insulted by some rufians while pass
ing through a street in New York. Herbert
protected and accompanied her to her hotel.
A correspondence followed, which ripened
into matrimonial union. Some six weeks
afterwards, gosspping neighbor in Newark
poured tale of calumny into the wifes ears
concerning her husband. This she related to
her husband, but refused to disclose the au-
thor. This fired his infammable tempera-
ment. He threatened to destroy himself if
she did not unveil the secret. This alarmed
her, and in the excitement consequent she
ruptured blood vessel. Soon after wards she
resolved to leave him, and did so during his
absence in New York. From that time she
refused to see him and finally, through
counsel, forbid his sending letters. This last
was too much for his sensitive nature. He
procured pistol and shot himself. His case
is that of a man in whom passion overhaul
anced reason. Had he possessed the GOODNESS
which every man should educate himself to,
he would have been wiser, better, and q
happy man today.

Col. BENToN.-Willam Carey Jones having
published card, at Washington, aiscrediting the
statement that Col Benton had expressed him
self in opposition to the course of the administra
ton on the Kanzas question. the New York Ere-
ming Post says:
I'm regatd to the Colouers views of the Lee
compton policy, it is certain that Mr.. Jones is
mistaken. We have ourselves heard that policy
denounced by Mr.. Benton in unmeasured terms
within the current year, and we presume we take
no improper liberty when we say that we have
the best authority for asserting that he used lam
guage equally decisive and condemnatory in the
presence of Mr.. Blah. the member of Congress
from St. Louis, only few hours before his death.
Mr.. Jones has therefore been misinformed in re-
gard to what occurred during Mr. Bentons last
illness, he has ventureI into print with less in
warranted"
The New York Tribune also, in regard to the
same matter, says:
1--WE would refer to the biography of Mr.. Ben
copied into the Tribune on tue 10Th of April last.
Therein it is announced that Mr.. Benton zeal
ously opposed the administration Of Buchanan,
and inclined to unite with the opposition that
presented itself in the Republican party. Mr..
Benton had this biography in his hands for re,
vision month before his decease, and returned
it with the passage we have quoted unchanged.
But certainlylif it had not been true, he would
have altered it. What say the Union and Mr.. W.
