BENTON AND DoUGLAs.-Now that Mr.. Doug
las is certain to be superseded in the U. S. Sem
| ate by Mr.. Lincoln, the friends of the former
gentleman are beginning to compare his posi-
ton in Illinois, with that held, during the last
six or eight years of his life, by COL Benton in
Missouri. The parallel holds only in the fact
that Col. Benton ceased to hold Office at the
hands Of his constituents, as Mr.. Douglas will
when his present term shall have expired. For
the rest, Mr.. Benton was sacrificed because
while representing aslave-hoiding State he gave
his votes and his influence against the Calhoun
dogmas of slavery propagandism; Mr.. Douglas,
| on the other hand, while representing a free
State, was the leader in girimg practical effect
to those dogaas and for this reason his constitu
ency refuse to trust him longer. The act of
Col Benton, which lost him his place in the
counsels of the nation, will crown him with i'm.
perishable honor and renown SO long as free
dom has a votary on earth or humanity a
dwelling place in the hearts of men; the act of
Mr.. Douglas has sullied his political escutcheon
with an indelible stain, and linked his name for
ever with legislative deed that will grow more
and more hateful with the hopes of ages
