WASHINGTON. April 1.-The Union
says that the President had protracted

and the latter afterwards expressed his ex-
ceeding qualification al the visit.
Mr. Benton spoke cf his extreme solici.
tude for the condition of public affairs and
his painful sense of the imminent danger
which threatens the, country.
He exhorted the President to rely on
the Divine support. and not upon that OF
man, who would deceive him.
The remains OF Col. Benton will be TAX
en- to Missouri, going by The way Of the
Relay House. and the Baltimore and Ohio
RqiIIoad to Wheeling. .-.-. '....

- Col. Benton is dying. Hisdisease. can
Ger Of the bowels. has made such progress
that he cannot survive much longer. He
suffers extreme pain. and is exhausted to
almost the last degree Of physical prostra-
ton. But his mind is as clear aud as
powerful as ever, and the high, resolute,
Roman spirit Of the old statesman strug.
giles with idomitabls energy and fortitude
against sickness and weakness and the aw.
fuI presence Of the king Of terrors. He
dies in harness, working for his country
aud mankind. An old and intimate friend
from Missouri called upon him this morn.
ing Benton was in bed, scarcely ably to
move hand or foot, and not able to speak
much above whisper, But he was hard
at work. clo'ing up his Abridgement OF
the Debates OF Congress, which he has
brought down to 1850. to the passage Of
the Compromise measures. He was dicta

daughter, Mrs Jones. sitting beside the
bed. received it. sentence by sentence.
whispered in her ear. and repeated Il aloud
to her husband, who wrote It down. II
was then read over TO Col. Benton, and re.
ceived his corrections, made with as much
anxious particularly as lift were the mai.
den work Of a young author.
Resting few minutes from his task,
Col. Benton entered into conversation with
his Missouri friend. He told him tn !; in
reviewing The events Of $50 lie was glad
to 6nd that the animosilies Of the past had
died out in his heart. and he was not only
ready but eager to do justice to his former
rivals an lcpponents. He spoke with much
feeling Of Mr. Clay. to whose merits and
services he had awarded the highest praise
in what he was writing about the Compro
mise period Of 1850. Hs dwelt particu
larly on the service, the great service, Mr.
Clay had rendered 10 the Republic at ths
time by battling and putting down the. tai
Iorous Secesssionists Of the South, who
we're seeking 10 destroy the Union and
plunge the country into civil war for their
own selfish and ambitious purposes.
The inspiration of this theme fred the
lsnguid' blood and terminated for mo

that the same men who had sought to dc.

the House OF Representatives had baliled
these reasonable sohemers. and put the
heels Of the people on the neck OF the trai

Of Lecompton. He warmly praised the
Intrepid and incorruptible Douglhs Demo
Gratis who had resisted the power and the
wiles Of corrupt aud deluded Administra

THE ELECTION IN LoUIsyILLE,-The e.
lection for municipal officers on Saturday
resulted in complete triumph for the can
didates Of the American party, Notwi,h-
standing the strenuous efforts of the De.
mocracy and few deluded Americans, the
m,iorties for the American candidates
were much larger than were ever before
given in city election where there was
any contest. Theaggregates Of the largest
votes for Counci!men on each side are as
follows. For the Americans 2l8l votes,
for the Democrats 937 votes, giving a
clear majority of 1874. This is an evi'
dence of the increasing strength and pop~
ularity of the American party in the city.
Our opponents went into the election with
high hopes OF victory. They worked in
dustriously, and in some Wards with a
desperation worthy ola better cause, for
their candidates. and until nearly the hour
for closing tho polls they still hoped to
suo ceed. but thsy were beaten and badly
beaten everywhere.-[ Louisville journal

,a A MORMON CoNsTITITUTIoN. Mr.. Bern
hisel, the Mormon delegate from Utah, has
presented a Constitution framed BY the
people Of that Terri ory, to the House
Committee on Territories, with the request
that Utah be admitted into the Union as n
State. The Convention framing this Con-
stiution was held in the spring of 1855,
aud was sent by Mr.. Samuel Smith, one of
the elders appointed for that purpose. -
Upon his arrival at Washington. he was
advised by leading Democrats to put off
his application, as the discussion Of the
subject in Congress, would involve the
institution" OF Folygamy, and embarass
the Democratic party before the people in
the Presidential election. The Constitution
is silent on the'subjeCt Of Slavery and Pol
ygamy The Committee on Territories

ject,--T Evening Journal.
