National Foundry.

We are pleased to bear witness to the zeal with which
our Congressional delegation press the claims of Deep
River as the site of the proposed National Foundry at
which cannon etc, are to be cast and finished. The
want of such foundry has long been felt, and attempts
have been made at different times, to obtain some ac-
ton leading to its establishment There to be no
longer any doubt that institution of the kind will be
put in operation at distant day, and, of course the
question of its location becomes OF immediate I'M
portance and the claims of different points are urged
with all the zeal of the gentlemen in whose States or
districts these points may happen to be.
Surely never was country so rich in resources as
these United States Surely did any country on
earth possess many highly eligible, and indeed unri
vailed sites for the establishment of National Foundry.
Why, out West they have found place where you
have only to plant Colts Revolvers and such is the
richness of the SOIL that in year two yon reap
liberal crop of DahIgrcn guns, brass field pieces and
thirteen inch mortars, all bored out and finished.
The soil up in the Deep River country is not quite
equal to that in rutfuness but the stories of its rich
ness if not startling believed to be somewhat bet
ter authenticated. 1t will not grow cannon but it will
furnish all the materials in the greatest abundance and
of the best quality.
Climate, water-power, fuel iron, building stone, tim
her, abundant supply of provisions accessibility to friends
and freedom from attack by enemies, all commend Deep
River. We trust that the efforts of delegation may
be successful in obtaining for this location the consdera
ton due to it, but we confess have doubts Vr
gnia or some Northern State may obtain it for some
point far inferior to Deep River But let us try.

DrKansas appears to be dead door-nail for the
session at least. We have no remarks now to make
until the after funeral.
The House adheres to its amendment, by precisely
the same vote as that by which it enacted it. To leave
no stone unturned the Senate will propose conference
but without effect we think The object of the anti
Kansas men is attained by defeating its admission
They are enabled to keep open the wounds of Bleeding
ansas the Republicans retain something to go upon III
their next aboitionzing campaign at the North The
Southern opponents of the Administration seem to care
little for results they only inHict wound upon
the Administration they little if the weapon they
use against the Administration be redhOt bar OF lron
sufficient to seer and parayze their own arms so they
can only aim blow at the Democracy, although
that blow falls short of hurting the object OF their hatred
half as much as it is certain to do themselves,
great deal of talk of one kind another has been
made over this Lecompton affair." over the admission
of ansas with the constitution framed at Lecompton
Now we are far from thinking that the members OF the
Lecompton convention were angels or their dongS per-
feet TO tell the honest TRUTH we think that the most OF
them would bear watching, and not few were schemng
tricksters But if Kansas is to be kept out and the
country kept disturbed until set of perfectly honest
men can be chosen to convention in that territory,
then the admission of Kansas will be delayed until the
day of Judgment There may be some honest public
men in lnsas but it is after Kansas fashion, and the
scale there is different from any thing known elsewhere
Lecompton just good as any crowd that can oe got
together if dozen trials were made and Its anecedents
were as good Then why u the fuss Simply this, that
the Repubicans avow their determination to admit no
State with slave constitution that is the backbone
Of the oppoSon and the little satellites like Gimer and
others, who throw in their mite with Gddings Co.,
ought to have sense enough to know it, and honesty
enough to put their upon its real grounds
instead of sweterDg through yards of newspaper deca

one fact of their conduct-that they cooperating
with the Black Republicans to carry out their avowed
determination to admit slave States, and that
they do this out of petty bitterness to the Democratic
party and out of mean desire to crawl into power as
the tail end of a Black Republican coalition
The rejection of Kansas because of slave constltu

Kansas In the House.

By a telegraphic despatch from Washington City, we
learn that the Kansas bill from the Senate came again
before the House yesterday and that this latter body
voted to adhere to its amendment that is to the Crit
-Montgomery-Kiss -him- G iddings Gilmer Bill
There seems to be this difference between adhering
and nssting' that the first is the more peremptory
and uncomprOmising form. AS thus The House IN
ssts but asks for committee of conference.-the House
ddteres and proposes no conference.
The bill has again gone to the Senate, which will
tainly strike out the amendment and send the original
bill back to the House. Things are at dead lock. A
pleasant state of things surely
What the vote upon the motion to adhere we
not informed but presume there was little if any
change from that by which the amendment adhered
to, was adopted week ago. 1t promptly done,
certainly as the bill was taken up in the House yester-
day at l o'clock, and the despatch announcing the adj
hercnce Of the House reaches before dark when the
bill as amended had been sent to the Senate
We have little to say Those who choose to 2lieitate
themselves upon the embarrassments of the Admnstra-
ton may do so if Free Soil triumph is welcome on
these conditions-DaHy Journal 9h inst.

We understand that change has occurred in the

Mr.. Cowan was one of the original directors but resign

Death of MIR. Benton.

We give elsewhere an article from the Washington
Uni0n announcing the death of the great Mssouran.
It would have been better for his fame had he passed
away long years ago. The peculiar characteristics of
temperament that have tended of late years to warp his
Judgment, and sour his disposition, had not assumed
their sway until he had reached his sxeth year. About
that period of his fe he was with all his pecuarlteS
perhaps the most accurate model Of Senator which the
country could present 1t is dsparagement to others
to say that Mr.. Bentons information upon all subjects
before the Senate more accurate than that OF any
other in that bOdy-that on all important questions
his efforts exhausted the facts and the arguments Others
might put the same facts arguments in stronger lights
or press them with greater elOquence but his remarka-
BILE memory and constant habits Of application furnished
him with an armory which neither his opponents
adjutors possessed We question if yet, the obi
cations which Jacksons policy owed to Benton are fully
understood recognized If great masses of work well
and faithfully done entte to be called great, Mr..
Benton was justly entitled to that appellation.
During later years Mr.. Bentons course had been a
strange one and while his intellect appears to have lost
little if any thing of its vgor it had been evidently de-
cient in that balance necessary to usefulness His pre-
JUDGES had assumed control which he unable to
Tesst-his animosties became nveterae and ceas
ed not with the death of their objects This peculiar
feature is plainly visible in his Thirty Years View
and with his constant sefconscousnes contributed 70
mpart to that to most of his recent productions the
style and tone best recognised as Bentonism."
But with all his faults and iailings Mr. Benton was
q North Caronian, of whom his native State has no
reason to be ashamed In long public lifetime he neV-
er sought nor would accept Executive appointment
OF all the charges of CorrupOn banded about, OF
them were ever laid at Mr. Bentons door, Even that
thing of his college life ungenerousy brought forward
by Foote really amounted to nothing at all. An UrS0
MAJOR in the world, Mr.. Benton model of domes
tic affection, and of the purest private morals
Ambition pride, disappointed aspirations unbalanced
of the strongest and most muscular minds the country
has ever seen.
native Of Orange county, N. c., Mr.. Benton was 76
years of age the 18th of last month He abored to
the last at his Abrdgement of the Debates of Congress-
