WE published, the other day. an extract from

=
Mr. Bolts recent lette; to the Richmond Wing,
in answer to certain charges which had been
made against him by some Of the Democratic
papers To-day we publish the letter entire
and we earnestly hope that every reader of the
ZntelLigeReer will spare the time to carefully
peruse the whole of the document We con-
fess to an admiration of it. 1t is bold, manly,
and sound. and meets our views of the subjects
discussed with an almost daguerrcotype exactness
If the opposition of this State aud Kentucky,
would meet the foe on the high, patriotic and
statesman like ground which Mr.. Bolts has
TAKEN then could we make common cause with
them. But how can We, when we see them
bidding lower catering more abjcctly to the
demands of the propugandists than their oppo'
nents3 The Louisville yJourndt-once the con-
servative and liberal organ of Henry Clay-is

beyond almost the EXTREMIST demands of Demo
cratic "Fire-Wo shippers" 1t now openly az

CATION of slavery into the territories And in
this State Goggin and Co. are, day and night,
saving upon the one tiresome strain of Letcher's
Ruffner phamphlet MISUNDERSTANDING as far, if
not farther, than they who go furthest in negro
ultraism.
IN the reoent Richmond Convention, Mr.
Bolts earnestly exnorrcu tie, ,r,.ea antecedents
should not be made test in the canvass-but,
MS we said the other morning, all his good, far
seeing and sound advice was set at naught,
almost before the sound of his words had died
away, by one of the delegates proclaining that
those antecedents should be made the trump
card" and should be played clear through to
the end. And they have been played, and are
being played. and nothing else scarcely is being
played. And now, is it for u.s. is it for any
body, who believes that Mr.. Bolts gave good
and true advice; who believe that the RuIfner
pamphlet embodies irresistible facts and correct
conclusions, to turn about and stultify his con-
Victions upon this question, and say amen TO
harangues which either have no meaning, or
else mean all that is detrimental TO our best

The Cincinnati Commercial rcpablishes from
the English prints, graphic account Of The re-
cent great "mil" between Tom Saycrs and VIM
Benjamin, for e2OO a side From this account
we learn that from the first round it was evil
dent that the fight would be all one way. and
Sayers in his confidence began TO fight 'ioy."
In the fourth round Tom mapped what is called
in the slang of the ring, "hot 'un," and this
evidently put him on his mettle, and he went in
and polished off Benjamin in the most approved
style. Benjamin was awfully punished. The
last two words signify beaten blind, maued to a
jelly-serrea less humanity than tho lately
wrecked Chinese by the cannibals, for the latter
left the head in its natural state before cooking
while Benjamin's was elongated, broadencd, and
the features into one another so scientifical-
ly that to his immediate relatives he was quite
indiscernable. He must have found Savers
