Ed. SEsrNEL;-Calling on friend few
evenings ago, was shown some Ohio papers,
among which was the Guernsey Times Of the
18th inst In glanciug over the editorial col.
umns noticed an article headed "Party Blind
ness" Curious to know what Black Repub.
lican editor could possibly have to say on that
subject, and especially the editor Of the Times,
though we'll knowing their presumption and as
surance, I read the article under the above cap
tion, and found that after arguing to show Of
what party blindness consisted, thereby proving
his own blindness either willful, natural o: un-
avoidable, the Times editor proceeds to make
an application of his Mind argument to the
Washington correspondent Of the Sentinel Let
US see if rightly.
The Times editor evidently don't like the
contrast between Mr.. Wade and Pugh. But it
is one Ofhis own making Your correspondent
had no idea of instituting comparison between
the two Ohio Senator's This he could not nor
would not do In order to do that Mr.. Pugh
would have to be brought down or Mr.. Wade
elevated. This the editor of the Times has
sought to do. The correspondent of the Ssnti-
mel will not interfere, and the people may judge.
The Times editor uses the words, "hired,"
'fawning," "menial," &c. Now your correspon-
dent will put the gentleman of tho Times at ease,
by saying, as the Times insinuates, that he is
not paid, neither has he hvors to ask. Mr..
Pugh has no acquaintance with-does not know
the correspondent of the Sentinel Your cores
pondent don't neither over-rate Mr. Pugh, nor
under rate Mr.. Wade. What he writes is the
truth, the result Of his own observations. If
Ben Wade has the unenviable faculty Of clear.
ing the Senate chamber and galleries when he
speech, it is not the fault of the correspondent
of the Sentinel II Ben Wade made himself ri
diculous during the might Session. of the Sen
ate, that is not the fault of the Sentaels CORES
pondent, neither should the Times now find
fault with him for telling it. If the editor Of
the Times won't tell the people of Ohio the
truth, the Sentiners Washington correspondent
will.
The Conference Committee on the Kansas
question was agreed to in the House yesterday
The members Of the committee on the part Of
the Senate are Messrs. Green, Hunter and Sc.
ward, those on the part of the House have
not yet been announced.
The vote on the motion to grant committee
Of conference in the House was tie and deci-
ded in the affirmative by the vote of the speak
er. Mr.. Whitley, of Deiawars was absent and
not paired Of, or there would have been ma
jority in favor Of the motion without the vote
of the speaker. The motion to grant a commit
tee of conference was made by Mr. English of
Indiana, and voted for by Hall and PendIeton Of
your State, and Owen Jones, Of Pa,-all anti
Lecompton democrats.
Though the granting Of the committee was
clarly matter Of right to the Senate, yet those
anti Lecompton democrats who voted for the
committee are deserving Of credit for rising su-
perior to the narrow predjudices Of the hour
and in freeing themselves, thus far from the
waves OF fanaticism, which would engulph them
in Black Republicanism. 1t is hoped the ques-
ton may now be settled and the country have
peace.
| Another of the cotemporaries of Calhoun,
| Webster and Clay in the Senate has passed from
earth. Thomas II. Benton is no more. Of that
illustrious band Of statesmen and patriots, Mr..
buchanan alone survives. Colonel Benton died
in this city, on the 10th inst, in the 77th year
of his age. His remains were taken to st. Lou
| is, Missouri, the State he so long and ably rep
resented in the United States Senate, for inter-
ment. With him was taken the corpse of his
little grand and son of w. Carey Jones,
who died few hours after the aged grand sire
had gone to the land Of spirits.
And as it was beautifully said on the occasion
Of their funeral: "The patriarch tree and the
tender scion alike fell PROSTATE" And "the
gray haired and the sunny haired sleep side by
SIDE"
Col. Benton lived as he desired, to complete
his large work, the abridgement of the debate
of Congress, up to 1850. He retained every fac
ulty of his mind to the last. The President
had an interview with him shortly before his
dccease. Yours, G.
