S VIL L B FRIDAY MORNING, :::::::::::MA V &. Mr. Benton' Speech. We commence to-day and shall close tomorrow the publication of Mr. Benton's late great speech against the Nebraska bill. We regret, from the confined space of our columns, that we have uut been able now and then to publish one of the very many excellent speeches which have been made in and out of Congress, on the subject of the Nebraska bill. But we couldn't resist the temptation of publishing Benton's apeech, both from its own great merits, and because the name of Benton is familiar as a household word in every circle, and then again because he ie a leading Democrat. We think this epeech wiil prove ra'her a settler to the Douglas bill. 'Our latest accounts f. om Washington are by no means encoaraging to the friends of this iniquitous measure. It is losing strength very fast, and the admimstranon is ev.uenuy. inguieneu at me lact, that the first measure it has had the boldness . t . l r ... I . . I t . to endorse, ia being repudiated by the voice of the people, end promises tu be signally defeated in Congress. To show how this measure stands at Washington, we make ibe following extract from the Washington currespondence of the Philadelphia North American, writen immediately after the delivery of Benton'a speech: It is dead, and the Committee of ihe Whole is its grave. Tbe South lends it no ardent and uniud aupport. Mr. Millson, the leader, more than any other member of the delega tion, of the Virginia Democracy, has denoon

ced it as not going far enough in its support wrole to him nferming him of her rr.vof Southern rights. To-day, Mr. Harris, of aI- and begging him for Uod's sake to come

lias., a disciple of the same school, has ex posed it to the ridicule of the House and the contempt of the country. Several other Southern men, who have heretofore been reckoned nmoag the most cordial of its supporters, are only waiting the opportunity to repudiate and oppose it. That opportunity will be carefully furnished them. The Vnouement of the fraud will be a farce. The bill will expire amidst a volley of hisaca and jeera. It will never come to a vote. Mr. Richardson, who has charge of the atTair, is obviously aehamed of it, and wants to be rid of it. It ia lelt to be a nuisance and an anoyance, and there is scarcely anybody who has been in any way concerned in it, that doea not wish to see it quietly dropped. We hope every reader will peruae this apeech. There ia more originality and humor in it than in the generality of Nebraska speeches, while strong facts are forcibly presented in Benton's own peculiar style. A Plain Unestion. It ia undoubtedly true that men are too often permitted to take vengeance into their own hands in Kentucky and are sustained by the "unwritten law," but it is also irne that the same condition of thii gs exists in all the Southern States. I hose States ii.tve i some important virtues that the Northern States have not, but they are less riid in the punishment of mankilling. Wealth can very frequently purchaae exemption frett iegai conviction f.r murder or manslaughter both in the North and in the South, but, in the South, a high social position has very often proved of itself sufficient. We do nut think that au instance can be named w here a man of social position in Kentucky hau ever been hung or sent to the penitenti irv for killing a man in open daylight, though there have been w hat seemed to be verv aggravated cases of such killing; and, so far as ws know, this is true of the whole South. We doubt if a caso can be named where a man in any Southern State, enjoying high aocial position, has ever been legally punished for killing in open dny, no matter what the circumstances. Unquestionably all this should be reformed, and we hope to see a reform in due lime wrought out by th ! force of a healthful public sentiment. Imu. Jour. Precisely so. Now we hope our friend of the Journal will permit us to a?k dim a .-ingle question, premising it with ti e remark. t . . ft A a- kr iii.

Our late California exchanges inform us that the flltibusterin; expediti n under command of Col. Walker is bout on its lest , . I . B B .1 w . WW aftW I lees.

His conduct toward his bordmate officers and troops has been such ': su as to drive them to a stale of revolt which neitn r the Colonel'a courage nor addreea avail him in quelling. While the Colonel haa been struggling with his fate, . ambitious for a real.n of hia own, over which he could reign supreme, ti e government of ihe United Statea haa been carrying on negotirtiuns with Mexico for the cession öfter-

ritory embracing Lower California and a : they thought Mr. D. deserved a beating, and daily bread, and that buttered on both sides great part of Sonora. The negotiations are they were deternvned to violate the public by our daily printing, who require the Deinunderwood lo be aonroachinir a sueceaaful Deace bv rivino-it to him. they certainly se- ocralic members ol this House, under the in-

consummation. In such au event the posi-; tion of Col. Walker becomes awfully critic-, -- rr I i al; he will find the territory which has been th. sreiip of his nnerations. sÜDned from be- - r . - -r, neath him, leaving him in a position little 8hortof treason. We clip ihe following extnet from the M(irvgvi,e Hera jd a8 a painful illustration of lhe inhumanity of tbia notorious military (jctiperaijo: Arthur Morrison, one of the victims of whom we speak, hud a young and loudly attached wife, and c.hil i five year old, in Illinois, the place of his birth. He had written to her to come out, and sent her the necessnry means to do so; and about two months since, this devoted woman left her home and friends with a heart buoyant with hope to meet the object of her love and tealty. About one month ago, she arrived with her child on our shores, and then for the first time, learned that her husband had bceu enticed toioin the tillibuaters. She immediateto her, and abandon his unjustifiable enter prise. Morrison received the letter, and immediately set about fulfilling his dutira as a man and citizen, by abandoning the camp of the tillibuaters, and starling lor San Francisco. But he "counted without his host,' for Mr. Walker immediately dispatched a party in pursuit, which ov rtook Morrison near Sun Diege, and compelled him to return with them. A second letter trom his wife soon after reached him, and the unhappy man determined to leave Lower California and re turn to his family, which needed bis presence, at all hazards. In order to effect this, Morrison entered into a combination with ten others, to desert at the first opportunity. This determination was carried into execution with as little delay a possible; but again the emissaries of Mr. Walker traced the ill-fated refugee, and miking him a prisoner, returned with him to the camp. Then a Court martial was held: self-conatituted officers sat in judgment over their victim; the forms and ceremonies of a trial were gone tnrougn wun, according lo the most received rules, lor auch cases made and provided; a vrd.ct of guilty is brought I . 1 .1 - I in, sentence oi dea n is proiiotiuceu unnvsitatingly by his "superiors," and Morrison is shot like a dog, m cold blood, 'or obeying the first laws of Cod at.d man, and refusing any longer to do evil.

Mr. Benton rose and members crowded into English, sign tries the ,4ass and his masround in order to hear him ou the Nebraska ter." It was this: An ass took it into his

question. The galleries were crowded. Mr. Benton said: Ifany bill to impiir the Missouri Compromise line of 1820 had been brouoht into this House by a member from a alave Stale or under the administration of a ri . i ..ir 1 o. .. . I i i A President elected from a si tve Slate, I shou d have deemed it my duty to have met it at the threshold and to have made the motion which the parliamentary law prescribes for the repulse of subjects w hich are not tit to be com idered. I should have moved its rejection at the first readi g. But t'.ie bill belore us, for the two may be considered as one, does n )t come from that quarter. It comes from a free State and under the administration of a President elected from a free Slate, and under that aspect of its origin I deemed it right to wait and hear what ihe members of the tree States had to say to it It was a ; proposition from their own ranks to give op their half of the slavery compromise of 1820, tnd if they chose to do so I did not see how the southern members could refuse to accept it. It was a .'ree Slute question, ami the members, from the tree States were the majority and could do as they pleased, so I stood aloof wailing to see their lead, but without the slighteat iulet.lion of becoming governed j by it. I had my tow n convictions ol right an 1 1 duty, and ineunt to act upon ihrm. I had ccmo into political life upon the compromise. I I hnd stood upon it ubove thirty years, and intended to :-t md upon it to the end so I lit a ry and alone if need be (nppiause end laughter j. but preferring comp i ny to solitude, and ni doubting lor an instant what the result was tube. I have said this bill comes into Congress under the ad t illustration of a free Slate President, hut I do not mean to say or htais , (he .ri.si,Jc,lt fiVrs the bill. I knuW UitlWuti, f Ul iliol toWard j, am, !if, M b,ouM not disclose it here. It J would be unparliamentary and a breach of the privilege of this House to do so. The President's opinions can only be made known to us by himself, iu a message in writing. In lhat way it is his tafbt and often h.s duty to communicate with us, and in that way there is no room for mistake in citing his opinions; no room for an unauthorized use of his name; no room for tbe imputation of conti .-.diet. jry opinions to him; in that way he becomes responsible for the opinions he may deliver all other modes of communication are forbid to him as tending to an undue and unconstitutional interference w ith the freedom of leg

islation. It ia not bribery alone, attempted , souri compromise of lSgO was the partitionupon a membc, which constitutes a brat.rh ' ing between the free and slave Statea of a

This is parliamentary law as old as the KOflieai Parliament, constantly maintained by the British Houses ol Commons, and hiely dec'ared h u mo.-t singular manner. It was during the i Hgn of our old r.l ':l r.- i , ... master George III, and in the famous case of . I I . I , . , , . , i Air. r ox s hast India bill, a report was spread a atsl . . s. ' in Parliament by one of the Lords of the lied chamber, that the King was opposed to the bill, that he wished it defeated, nnd had said thai he would consider any member his enemy who should vote for it. The House of Commons took tire at this report, and immediately resolved 'That to report any opinion or pretended opinion upon any bill depending in either house of Parliament is a high crime of misdemeanor, d?roga ory to the hon ir I a a - ..w. r. . . . v. if tlia j Crown, a breath of ihe fundamental privi--".--,0, tne tunuamentai pr.vi1 lees of Parliament, and subversive ofthe consul, tion of the country l ins resolve was adooted in a full houe bv a majority of seventy three votes, and waa only declaratory ol the existim? parliamentary Wla.a .

It is lion st law, and aa such xistent in every honest man's heart. 1 ... ötr, the President of the United States can send us no opinions, except written mes- . ' sages, and no one can report his opinion to , influence Iho conduct of members upon a bill without becoming obnoxious to tbe censure which the Hritish House of Commons prononnced upon the Lord of the Bedchamber in the case ofthe King and Fox's East India bill.

The question before us is to get rid o' the Mifaouri compromise line, and to a ! iwyer trial is an easy uestion That compromise is in the lorm nf a statute, and one statute is repealed i-y nn itber. That view is enough lor a lawyer; to a f talesman it is aon.ethingdiffcrent and reif rs the question of its repeal not to law book', but to rea.-oii-s of State policy, to the c rcutnstattce.s under which it was executed, and the consequences wh'ch are to flow Iroin its abrogation.

That is the stateinen's question ; and without assuming to be much of a Blitestnan, I claim to be onongh s jto consider 1 he BMBOf aueoceS of breaking a settlement which pacified a con'inent. I remember the Missouri controversy, and bow it destroyed all social feeling and all capacity for beueti ial legislation, and merged all political prineiple in an anry contest about slavery, dividing the Ultiou into two parts, and drawing up the two BftiVea into opposite and confronting lines, like enemies on the field ol battle.
