DAVIS AND BENJAMIN.
The recent difficulty between senstors DAVIS. Of
Miss and BEsJisirS, Of La, grew out Of the follow
ing colioquy IN thss suaies
Mr.. benjamin was speaking on the Army bill, when
Mr. Davis said 81 win correct the senator as that
seems 70 be the point Of his argument The Secretary
oil War does SEX money Cor brseeh-loading arms,
costing from $4,000 to $4,000, and part Of this
100000 is TO 60 in this way according to his APP
plcation"
Mr. Benjamin replied, 81 do not understand that
the Secretary has askedfo any part ofthis 100000
10 purchase breeoh loading firearms. If he has
am very much mistaken
Mr. Davis-Oh, will state the very simple fact
that he asks money 10 buy breech loading arms.
Whether this 100000 is to be paid out Of the tres
sury, DO not know.
To this Mr. Beujs Tin replied-"It is very easy
for the senator to give sneerng reply to what was
certainly a very respectful inquiry"
Mr. Davis-I consider it an attempt to misrepre-
sent very plain remark
Mr. Benjamin-The senator is mistaken, and has
no night to state any such thing His manner is not
agreeable st all
Mr.. Qavis-Ifthe senator happens to find il dis
agreeable, hope he viii keep 1t TO himself
Mr. Benjamin-It was directed 10 me, and will
not keep it to myself viii reply to It instanter.
Mr. Davis-You have got it. sir
Mr. Benjamin-That IS enough, sir; ] shall not
again be diverted from my public duties.
Two gentlemen Of such age and standing should
be slow to take offence Their subsequent exPlana
ton and apology to the Senate showed that it was
the result Of mutual misunderstanding and sudden

DEATH OF JOHN O'CoNNELL The adYices by the
Kangaroo announce the death of JOHN 0'CONEELI,
second son of the late DANIEL OCONNELL, the Irish
"Liberator," which took place near Dublin on the
oath ult, in consequence of severe attack of brOn
chitis contracted by sitting on damp seat in his
garden The deceased was for many years prOmi-
nently known as a member Of the British Parlia-
ment and of the repeal party in Ireland, of which
his father was the chief A few years ago he re-
tired from political life abandoned the repeal ag
tation as impossible and impOitic and accepted the
lucrative Office of Clerk of the Hanaper in Ireland
which he held until his death. He was generally
popular-and was esteemed by his Warmest political
opponents, for his private virtues, honorable con-
duct and independent character. Although he was
by no means qualified to assume the Liberator's
mantle at the death of that great Irishman, or to
become the leader Of a party, he was not deficient
in talent or eloquence, and was always listened to
with respect in the House OF Commons

GEN. HoUSTON's EXPEDITION TO MEN

Some Of the papers are giving credenoe to the
reported expedition of Gen. Houston to Mexico
Having sullied the laures won by brilliant achieve
ments nformer lfe it is not unworthy in him to de-
sire some new theatre in the future where he can
again display the Yalor Of his earlier days. The
Troy Budget, speaking of him, says:
Gen Houston was IS years Of sge on the ID of
March last but probably his capacity for physical
endurance is still greater than that of majority Of
men at so. He doubtless feels that he has in him
yet 20 years of active life and his Partially for
such q course Of action that referred to by the
EUsuing Post is well known. Bis San Jacinto of
April, 1886, ultimately gave Texas to the United
States and himself seat in the United States SEN
ate for fourteen years Upon this, Texas voted to
dispense with MS services after the expiration of
his present term; she gave his senatorial seat to
political rival. After having been thus discarded
he began TO talk Of emigratng to and becoming
Governor Of Arizona. But Arizona will require
ten or fifteen years TO become State. He talked of
a Mexican proectorate but protectOrates breed pro-
consuls, not senators. Besides, the old fashioned
protecOrate system not likely to supercede on this
continent the better American system of conquest
and annexation. The most practicable field for an
nexation is unqUestiOnably northern Mezieo and of
all men General Houston is the best man for leader
Of such an enterprise.
Our Young America have confidence 10 him; the
world is familiar with the history of his experience
and success in flibustering The Mexicans know
him, and would as soon jump heda first into perdi-
ton as to encounter him on the battlefield The
very cry Of San Jacinto would transfx them with
terror He might without difficulty get peaoeable
control of the country, and then Mexico would be
very willing sell her title to the United States
Most Of the Northern Mexican States have a popu-
latiOn sufficient to entitle them to admission as
States on becoming annexed to our Union. "Old
Sam might therefore reasonably calculate that
period Of two to five years would suffice to restore
him to the United States Senate

The following important dispatch, which should
have been received here as early as the 10th inst
communicates intelligence that will be gratifying to
the country. The much vexed Mormon question
has been brought to a settlement, and we trust the
future policy of the Government will be such as to
prevent the accumulation of such evils again
BRIGHAM YOUNG was the appointee of President
FILLMORE, and, like some other appointees of the
opposition, has been very hard to get out:
WASHINGTON, June lO.-A message was received
by Congress to-day, from the President, inclosing
copy Of the dispatch from Gov. Cumming, dated May
2, received at the State Department yesterday
From the tenor Of this dispatch the President saws
that he has reason TO believe that our difficulties
with Utah have terminated and the laws been re-
dressed. He COngratulate5 Congress on this auspi-
cous event. and expresses the opinion that there is
no occasion to make an appropriation for the three
regiments of volunteers recently authorized for the
purpose of quellIng disturbances in Utah, and for
The protection Of the emigrant trains and supplies.
Texas can be defended by the regular troops within
her limits.
The President is more gratifed because the events
in Utah will afford some ief to the Treasury, and
not require a loan or additional taxation on the
people.
Gov Cumming, in his dispatch to Secretary Cas7,
saws the masses everywhere announced to him that
the torch will be applied every house iDdiscrim
inately throughout the country the troops
attempt to cross the mountains. Though scattered,
every means would be taken TO rally them. Some

himself into difficulties from which it will be hard
to escape We announced, some days since, his
murder of a man named JENKINS, one of his own

among the Abolitioniss as Lane, and now that the
latter has got himself into the clutches of the law,
or will be compelled TO leave the Territory the New
York Tribune is beginning to throw him overheard,
just as the Know-NothiUg papers here are acting
towards their defaulting officers, BURTON Co. The
Tribune says:
He (Lane) has been a conspicuous talker in favor
of resisting by force Border Rufian outrage and
rule. He was chosen Major General of militia by
the last Territorial Legislature but has not done
any fighting in that capaciy-at least none that we
are aware Of. He is quite likely to migrate to
Arizona, if the Sheriff should inteFpose no objeo-
ton.

Does the Union and American propose to hold the
American party responsible for the frauds OF Dr.
Burton on the State treasuryl If so, il may be
proper for that pager to inform ITSELF in the first
place whether DR.. Burton has not been voting with
The democracy for the last twelve or eighteen
months 1t may be susceptible Of proof that the
Secretary of State gave in his adhesion to the dem
ooratic party, and that probably this was the hrst
step towards his subsequent Decentralization and

We certainly do hold the Know Nothing party re-
sponsible for the conduct of the officers they have
elected Dr. BURTON was made Secretary Of State
by the K. N members Of ihe Legislature, and was
elected by strict party vote, in opposition to the
regular Democratic candidate. After his election,
he continued to act with the Know Nothing party and
was an ardent and active supporter Of FILLMoRE
and DorELsoz in 1856 he left his Office during
that canvass, made a political tour through por
ton Of the Slate, and supported the claims Of the
Know Nothing nominees upon The stump. The
American. party thought BURTON worthy Of their
support ana the Doctor thought The party worthy
Of his support They we're both right; they are
worthy Of each othcr aud no one will thintbe asso
ciation Of such man with such party at al nap-
propriate or unnatural We must protest, hoVever,
against the Patriots attempt to disown one of Sans
most promising disciples, just when he has estab-
lished the highest claim to the sympathy and sup
port Of his party We must protest against an at
tempt to held the Democracy responsible for the
infamy Of its enemies. DR.. BUEToS never was
member Of the Democratic party, but has always
expressed himself bitterly opposed to the princi-
! pies and the candidates of that party. We deny
that he "has been voting with the Democracy for
the last twelve or eighteen months" and that he
ever gave in his adhesion to the Democratic
party"
The Know NOthings were once loud in denOuncing
foreign nations for sending their criminals to our
! shores. Let them keep their scoundrels at home,
and not attempt to disgrace our party by an assO-
citation with the avoWed adherens and Office holders
Of their own organization. We will say, that every
man at all implicated in the frauds recently perpe-
trated in this city, every man who could possibly
be suspected Of participation in this abOminable
system of crime and yillaiDy, is either member Of
the Know Nothing organization, or sustained that
| party with their votes and their influence.
