A Touching incident.

The alliance political which has been
consummated SO suddenly and unex-
|pectedly in Congress, within the last few
has been prolific of touching and
melting incidents.
The shifting of the rock by Moses in
the desert did not produce a more copi-I
GUS flood of water than has been caused
by this coming together of these politi-
zeal ~antagonisms. It is said that tears
wore copiously shed under the influence
of Mr.. Crittenden's late speech in the
Senate. We learn from the following
e. extract, taken from the Tribune, that
Mr.. G. is capable of reciprocating the
tender emotions which his eloquence in
Ispired, and that he has been refreshed in
his turn by a gush of tears.
These things constitute the amenities
of politics, and, as zone touch of Nature
makes all the world akin" we are fain to
drop the prejudices of political hostility
fora moment, in order to copy from the
Tribune the affecting record. If you
have tears to shed, prepare to shed them
now.

land, near the door, was joined by the
1Hon. A. Marshall. But a moment was
permitted them for communication, and
Mr.. Giddings went forward, and, taking
Mr.. Crittenden warmly by the hand,
with a recognition of Mr.. Marshall at
the same time, said:
"Who would have believed this of me,
that I should be found with you, follow
ling you? But, while l have spent a
Hong life in fighting against enemies,
ssand am ready still to fight them, L have
snever fought, and cannot now fight
against my friends. I remember well
sthe occasion when, the pan of exclusion
having been placed upon me in this
House, I had taken my hat and was
Eabout leaving, L met you, Mr.. Critten-
sden, with Henry Clay, at the door, and
THAT you each gave me, in that moment

Ohio state Treasury Law.

The Ohio Senate has passed a bill
providing for the better management
and safe-keeping of the public moneys,
both State and County. The Statesman
has published the bill as it passed the
Senate, remarking it will likely pass the
House in a similar form. We have
glanced over the bill, and believe it to
ibe a very good one. 1t requires that
the County Commissioners shall at once
provide a room or rooms where the pub
lie money shall be kept safely, and that
no money shall be drawn from the treas
ury only upon order of the County Au-
ditor, OF by State authority, and forbids
County Treasurers from using, loaning
or depositing the money in any other
place or in any way than those provi-
led for by law. 1t is we'll guarded, and
may work well. "A few years experience
will suggest any modification, however,
that may be requisite. The frequency
|ofthe examination ofthe moneys, vouch-
ers and books in the T~reasurer's office
renders it impossible for any breach of
trust existing for any considerable length
of time.

The experience of an Iowa farmer, pub

borious literary pursuits. During his
long political career Mr.. BENTON made
many bitter political and personal enc
mics, but time has softened and obliter-
ated animosities; and, when the great
statesman is placed in his grave, the
mantle of oblivion will be thrown over
those events that recall them to memory.
All parties will mourn his dccease; the
|chaplet of a nations sorrow will be
placed upon his tomb, and it will be
universally admitted that there lies one
of the greatest of u statesmen.
To show the heroic name in which
The faced the king Of terrors, and the
strength of his determined will, we pub
fish the following from the Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune,
who says, under date of 9th inst:
"Colonel Benton is dying. His dis
ease, cancer of the bowels, has made
such progress that he cannot survive
much longer. He suffers extreme pain.
and is. exhausted to almost the last de
gree of physical prostration. But his
mind is as clear and as powerful as ever,
and the high, resolute, Roman spirit OF
the old statesman struggles with indom-
table energy and fortitude against sick
ness and weakness, and the awful pres
.ence of the king of terrors. He dies in
harness, working to the last for his coun-
try and mankind. An old and Intimate
friend from Missouri called upon him
this morning. Benton was in bed.
scarcely able to move hand or foot, and
not able to speak much above a whisper;
but he was hard at work, closing up his
Abridgement of the Debate Of Congress,
which he was brought down to 1850, tc
the passage of the Compromise meas

ter of the work. His daughter, Mrs.
Jones, sitting beside the bed, received
lit, sentence by sentence, whispered in
her ear, and repeated it aloud to her
husband, who wrote it down. 1t was
then read over to Colonel Benton, and
received his corrections, made with as
