Administration Triumph.

Since the date Of our last the Admins
tratiOn has gained a decided triumph over
the Anti-LecOmptOh members Of Con-
gress. The Cleveland Leader Of the 10Th,
says:
democratic detection and lreaeherY yea
terdNy gave LecomptOn the victory in the
House. Mr. Euglisb Of Indiana, aud Mr.
Hall OF Ohio, voted With the Lecompton-
ties, and Speaker Orr, by bis casting vote
threw the even beam ofl0s TO los on the
question Of a Committee Of Conference, in
favor Of the Administration and the great
iniquity the President has unblushingly
ezerted power aud patronage to force
through Congress and upon the outraged
people Of Kansas.
The sneaking conduct Of the two Dem
ocratic renegades on the previous vote to
adhere, evidenced that they we're in the
Executive market and had set their price.
Hereafter they will probably sustain the
Senate bill If required BY their masters, and
the South will not have two more willing
slaves in the ranks of'the Northern dough.
faces.
The fnal passage Of LecomptOu in some
shape may now, we fear, be regarded as a
fled fact. Speaker Orr has before illus.
traIed his fairness 10 the appointment Of
Kansas COMMITTEES. under the order Of the
House, and the friends Of Freedom and
Justice have nothing to hope for at bis
hands The treachery begun, will doubt.

THOMAS HART BENTON.

Another Of the great statesmen Of the
Union has fallen. Mr Benton died at
Washington on the 10th iusl,. while ar.
dently engaged in continuing h's "De,

great men that gave Iustre aud reputation

for many subsequent years, to the admin.
istrations of Gen Jackson aud Mr. Van Blu.

rounded his dying bed that, "the same
men who had sought to destroy the Re,

Col Benton may have uttered many
wise and patriotic things during bis long
and eventful life; but nothing that be ha'

Harris of Illinois and his Vote.

In concluding a letter 10 his paper, the
st. Joseph Register, Mr.. Collax, of Indi-
ana, thus records the noble conduct of Mr..
Harris the Democratic Auti.Lecompton
leader Of the House, when the vote was
to be taken on the Senate Bill:
Mr.. Harris of liz, is far gene in con.
sumption, and has been bleeding from the
lungs in bis sick room ever since the last
encounter in the House on the outrageous
conduct Of the Kansas Select Committee,
where he acted as the Anti Lecompton
lesder-when be entered the House exact
ly five minutes before one o'clock, with
feeble step, leaning on the arm of bis col
league, Morris, thrill ran through the
House. He could have been paired. but
he refused, aud declared, that ifi it cost him
bis life, he shonld be in his seat to vote
bis utter condemnation Of this shameless
iniquity. When one, who has been fol
years, Hebrew of the Hebrews in his de.
votion to his party, Of which be has been
an active leader, thus perils his lite.to record
his hostility to this Tyrany, ought not the
people, who love Justice aud, hate Wrong,
to initiate his example and emulate bis pat
riotism. which rises higher than party, ,and
is willing to give bis life as a dying protest
against it.
