his loud and repeated warnings to his
countrymcn against the hcresles OF
opinion which the South Caro'inlan
entertained, and against the treason
to the Union which he waited an op-
portunity to practice, were for many
wears UNDECIDED, the events of the pres
cnt day prove that Mr.. Benton was a
prophet of no mean cndowmcnts, and
patriot whose memory the country
should honor. While praising that
foresight which enabled him to de
tect disloyalty to Democracy and t''e
Union, in the specious pretcnces OIL
Mr.. Calhoun, we must not forget that
Mr.. Douglas came within the Proph'

THE LEADER OF THE HoUsE.-Mr.
Sherman is a most efficient Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means.
As appears from the following in the
Washington correspondence of the
New York Evening Post, in addition
to the arduous duties usually dcvolv
ing upon that officer, he is occasions
ally obliged to tell the Democratic
Representative how to vote:
"The Deficiency bill had a narrow
escape from defeat yesterday in tie
House. Some not very astute Demo
Gratis voted against it because John
sherman, a Republican, reported it,
and most of the Democratic members
were voting that way when Mr.. Shcr
man arose and stated that it was g
government approximation bill, and il
the Democrats did not stand by tn,
Administration in voting it supplies
he should not, and would not advis,
his friends to do it. The Republicans
then very generally voted against it
The Democrats were alarmed, ant
came to its support seeing this
enough Republicans changed theII
votes to save the bill"

The New Hampton Courier informs
us that some eight or ten persons have
been arrested in the western part OF
Howard County charged with passing
counterfeit money. A pass book is
said to have been found on the person
of one of the prisoners, disclosing the

Wisconsin and Iowa. 1t is to be
hoped that the operations of these
gentry, who are also largely engaged
in horse stealing, will be brought to a
summary conclusion.

The Two Platforms.

We have before us ut last the full
Majority and Minority Reports of the
Platform Committee at Charleston.
They both recommend the protection
of Naturalizcd Citizens at home or
abroad, the construction Of Pacific
Railroad, the acquisition of Cuba, and
both denouncc in substantially the
same language the enactmentS OF, GER
tain State Legislatures calculated to
obstruct the execution of the Fugi-
tive Slave Law. The subject of Slave
property in the Territories was the
rock upon which they split. The fol.
lowing was the Majority Resolution :
Hrst, That the Government of a
Territory organized 10y an act of Con-
grcss is provisional and temporary,
and all citizens Of the United States
have an equal right to settle with
their property in the Territory, with
out their rights either Of person OF
property being destroyed or injured
by Congressional or Territorial legis,
lation.
And the snlioincl was the Minori
~ Resolution
That inasmuch as differences OF
opinion exist in the Democratic party
as to tie nature and extent of the
powers of Territorial Legislature,
and as to the powers and duties OF
Congress, under the Constitution OF
the United States, over the institution
of Slavery within the Territories
Resoirsd, That the Democratic Par
ty will abide by the decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
over the institution of Slavery in the
Territories.
The difference between these propo
sitions is this The former permits
Slave property to be taken into TIL,
Territories and held there in defiance
OF prohibitory statutes 10y Congress
or Territorial Legislatures. In othel
words it pavcs the way cticctually fol
the enactment of a Slave Code. The
latter leaves the subject to the adjudi
cation of the Supreme Court SO thai
if Northern candidate should b,
nominated, lie might claim North
crn construction of the bred Scott de
cision, and call that a settlement o
the question or if Southern candi
date should be nominated, that h'
might claim a Southern construction
of that decision. The former is plain
distinct, tangible the latter is an in
territorial cheat.
We haven't any doubt that if Doug
! las could be nominated and elected ol
the Minority or Samucls Platform, h
would get around to the advocacy o
a Slave Code and even the re-openin:
of the Slave Trade before the close @
his administration but he has al
ready practiced so much cheatin:
round the board, that there docsn'
seem to be much disposition to trus
him or his doctrines.-Ib.

CHAPTER III.

JOHN BELL On TIE WILMOT PROVISO.
With the people of the South, the Will
mot Proyiso is one Of those questions
upon which we can hold no compromise.
Open, declared, fixed, opposition to it,,
is an Indispensable requisite for Southern
favor 1t involves the whole question
now in dispute, between the =" Republi-
cans" and the constitutional men Of all
parties. Does John Bell agree with his
Southern fellow-citizens in this position Z
Hear him:
July Sd, 1850, he spoke as follows ::
