Benton and Dr. Beech er The Boaton Transcript relates a good story of these two veterans: The vener able Dr. Boecher attended the lecture of Mr Bontou on the Union, beforo tho Mercsntilo Library Association, aud was introduced to the distinguished politician in the of the Tremont Temnle. The ex-senator, in the courao of his lecture, depicted the dissolution of the Union by the figure of a conflagration that consumed every thing in its path. Now Dr. Beerhr i one of the most hoDeful old eentlemen of the age; be has seen the Union at the very rerge of dissolution at least eight times since he has preached the Qospel; and from his well-known character and opinions, it is safe to infer that he saw through tho weakness of Mr. Benton's logic, and did not assent to his views. After the lecture the two worthies who hare "come down to us from a former gen eration," had some conversation, during which Mr. Beecher expressed a desire to read Mr. Benton's lecture in print, that he might better understand its arguments. Mr. Benton renlied that he should not publish it at present, aa he had so many invitatione to repeat it "Well," said Mr. Beecher, with characteristic keenness, "I hope you will give it to us in print before we arc ail burne.1 up!" This hit of the - - ... .1 old doctor's, it is said, was highly relished i'jf au vi Miuuvto. BlstTOST In Kentucky. A Kentucky subscriber writes: "You must not bare down so hard on us in regard to 81avery.

It is a nasty, nithy tmng and nasty, nuny people use iL taallstsT f rasa ta Prtater The latest scheme of stealing from the printers that we have discovered is for some fellow to start s "commercial corres. txndence" in the cities, puffing the thea tres, shows and shops that pay him, and sending those letters to green country oditors who insert them gratis, while thowrtter makes a fortune at tho expense of the green one. Several of our exchanges have been bitten that way. Tips at tai TlsnaWi W gave two notices of this paper last spring, commending it to public favor, but wa hare not seen a copy for three) months.

An ancient Geography. puUUkod In Dublin, Ireland, In 17, has tho followiag description of tho i.rntory Nrth West of th Ohl river: J "All the country to the northward of lhu rtvtr ,0hlox -ltUlKiini. from ptnnylvanla to the east, the lakes to the Dortu ,nd lh, Mlaalaalnm th. w-t mteuded to be divided by Oongraat into Un Btw guUi) vl.

Wo may hope for aid from that usrtv in this matter. At all events it proves that the measure is not anti-Demo cratic. Very Menus. One of our Northern cotemporarios with Southern principles says: . "The negro in Africa is a slave in reality, and his master, though a brother, is a savago and a brute! The Damaras replenish fair slaves now mostly by stealing them when children! W hat think yv of this, yc 'negro-worshipers? We don't know what "negro-worahip-era" will think of it. but we pronoui c; it the meanest kind of a trick. It is nearly as mean as the way white men in the South sell their children and half-brothers and half-sisters. We think, with our cotera norarv. that a man that will do so is "a savage and a brute," and we are decidedly opposed to his going into free territory to sell his kindred. And wo thick the man who buys one of these stolen negroes, or the descendant of one, is as mean as the man who steals him, if not a little meaner Don't Lecture for Tloney . After Col. Benton closed one of his lec tures down east tho chairman of the committee called on him whon the following dialogue ensued: Chairman Col. B., what shall wo pny you for your Lecture last evening?

iNDiAVAroMs, Jau 9nd, 167. Mu. Ki-irou: This werk, thus far, has been a stirring one at the Capital. The Bute Teachers Convention met on Monday and continued Its session day and night, until Wednosdsy evsnlng at ten o'clock, when It adjournal to meet again at Richmoud, In August next. It was attended by about two hundred delgates of both sexes from different parts of the State. The proceedings were of a very Interesting character. The closing address by Dr. White of Wabash Collage was highly entertaining, instruotivo and encouraging to tho tolling teachers, whose calling Is the most laborious and unprofitable pecuniarily of any In our country, yet when proerly looked upon, tho roost important and ennobling. "As the twig Is bent the tree is inclined," and whilo tho trees are so stubbornly crooked, our only hope is with the twigs. Let the teachers of Indiana rejoice that although they are oorly paid they are doing a nobis work in moldriug aright tho young mind, and preparing the coming generation for a higher position in knowledge, virtue, religion and liberty, than their fathers now occupy. And lot them

also resolve, that whon tho next couaus goes before the world, that no "soveuty thousand" shall disgrace the fair reputation of their native State, for being ignorant of their mother tongue. The lecture season haa fairly begun; and those delivered before the Y. M. 0. Association havo been of a superior kind, combining valuable historical and seien tific knowledge with seutiments of a high moral and liberal character. Such as every truo patriot delights to call his own, but, which grated harshly on sound Old Lino oars. It is a groat pity Mr. Editor that these Afrioons can't go to hoar a literary or scientific lecture, nor to church, nor to any other good place without getting tholr "ihine cracked." I rejoice as a Republican that my "politics" are not antagonistic to every thing good and great. The distinguished "citixen of the United States learned blackimlth" de livered his great locture on "Tho valuo of the Union and the only condition of its perpetuity," lost night in Masonic Hall. Kliliu Hurritt is a man of a tall, slim, hut stout muscular frame. His brawney arm looks like it might wield the sledge ham mer of steal, as forciblv as his muwxivo mind wields the slodge hammer of argu moot. His voice is deep, clear and ilia tinct, so that every word falls pluasanth upon the ear. He begau by recounting the difllculties and dangers, which our fore t"u i hers had to encounter iu planting civil and religious institutions in these western wilds; with what proud satisfac tion the early friends of the Republic watched iu rapid growth, and with what cheering hopes they looked forward to its bright and promising future. He, with every patriot could adopt, as a prayer, the patriotic lines of Longfellow : "Sail on, O Ship or flute ! Sail on, O Volon .strong sod groat I Humanity wHaall IU fear. With all Uta aopaa or coming yaan, I hanglnf breathless on thy fttla!" But the only way, ho said, to keep the old ship sailing through the doep waters of prosperity was to pitch slavery overboard To do this the whole nation had to help, for it was a national evil and not a section al one. It blackened, alike the mountains of New England and the swamps of Flor ida. His plan for abolishing slavery, was to pay tho slaveholding states full price for all their slaves. All tho proceeds from the salo of the public land, were to be annually appropriated to this object. This is a grand design if it could be car ried out. But it seems to me that it will be many years before the public mind is preparod for it, yet it is the feasible plan than I have heard of, for ridding our selves of "EarUTt worat abomination, Aud natare'ablackotl blot." I heard Gov. Wright say after the lecture, that it was "a very pretty thing, but entirely impracticable and perfectly pointless." Ah poor Josey every thing is "entirely impractical" which does not point to the Senate or Cabiuet. 0. Harbison, 0., Dec. tOth. Ms. Editob: Some half a dozen citizens of Harrison visited ono of the "rum holes aud gambling hells " of this place, last week, to which young lads had been admitted, mado drunk, and permitted to engage in gaming and informed tho gentlemanly proprietor if such things again occurred, that, acting on the principlo of selftlefer.se, they would "clean OUt " his establishment for him, if no law of the State could be made to reach him. We are no advocato of mob law, or of "squatter sovereignty," but we honestly believe that such a nuisanco as the liquor traffic and its attendant horrors, demands of us as parents, as patriots, and as philanthropists that we see to it, that they are not permitted to degrade our sons, our neighbors, and our neighbors families, and if through tho trickory of rum-loving and rum fearing legislators and judicial officers laws cannot be mado to reach such casos, theu are we, in view of the danger to which we, and ours, are exposed, and the sacrifices wo are called upon to make, in consequence of the traffic, called upon to rise in the majesty of our inherent rights aud blot out these sinks of iniquity, theso breathing holos of hell! Ood speed the day when the people shall be properly aroused to see the importance of of this subject, and when the moral sense of every community shall bo such that tho business will not be tolerated. O. P. Q. Hu rut to Dentil. Washington, Jan. 5. The wife of Judge Daniels, of tho United States Supreme Court, was burnt to death last night by an accident, at the residence of hor husband, in Franklin-row. Tho Judge and his wifo had been out, and returning home, he went into tho library and she repaired to her sleepiug-apart-mont, and commenced disrobing, preparatory to retiring for the night. Being very near-sightod, she did not perceive a candle sitting on the hearth, nor the flames that communicated to her clothing, until they completely enveloped her. She died this morning after lingering eight hours in dreadful agony. She was a most estimable lady, and leaves two children, the youngest being but 6 or 8 months old- She was tho daughter of tha lata Dr. Harris, of Philadelphia, formerly Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery attached to the Navy Department.

Jana- Orange. The Cincinnati Horticultural Society, aving noticed the report of last spring

that tho Osage Orange Hedros In the vlinityof that olty had been daimjed by the preceding winter, lately appointed a committee to investigate tho qualities and nature of the plant, aud that iu tholr Rejwrt appears a loiter from William Noff, who, tho Commlltuii say, has given more attention to tho cultivation of tho Orange than any othor man iu Ohio, Mr. Noff says: "Kightosn years ago this subject first at tracted my atention, and since that timo not a year has passed without my having planto 1 more or loss. Mv first impressions we o decidedly favorable to it, abovo all others. My experience sinco has more and more confirmed this opinion. Indeed I consider the Orange of incalculable value to our Agricultural country for fencing. The groat distrust of it for the purKse has nrisnn fron a want of knowledge and noglootln its cultivation. This has boon gonoral, and I do not incline to reliovo mysolf from a full share. Tho very greatest mlstak has been from setting tho plants too far apart. They mujht t I in ,i mmjh row, unit not more than four inch opart. Tho advocates of wider sotting, from their respectability and liilliiotiio are, in my opinion, doing a great injury, and I think that further experience wMl convince thom of 1 1.. -ii error. The last winter has dnno injury to all the live fences, but I think they will generally recover from It It was of unparalleled sovority, ami wo may nevor soo such another. I soo no reason for discourasiuc its cultivation from the ell'octof thosovore winter uin it, and I hojw the Society will not lond its iufluenco in that direc tion.

Tk Kaaeaa liases. The St Louis Republican thus speaks

of the laws et.acted by the Territorial Leg islature of Kansas: "Wo report! hero the opinions before eipressed In those columns, that the Statutes in Kansas are mm to criticism and cen sure, and should pass under the revision of tho approaching Legislature, with a aim to rcpntl, nml thud they will be changed. 1 hey were formed in an hour or Impulse and passion, before tho host of an angry contost at the olls had subsided, and doubtless have been viewed since, by enactors of them, ss destined to remain d ead letters on the Statuten Hook, or to be repoalod at an early day. Some of them, tliu most loudlv complained of bv rroe State agitators, have nevor been enforced nor applied." But it is a bad principle to u hoi do.id-letter laws to stand uiwn the Statuto Hook at all." Wo are Inclined to think that this is the sentiment of tho most judicious men of all parties In Kanaas and throughout the country. As to the character of many of tho laws in question, there cannot be anv difference of opinion among men of common sense; tlmv htvo boon denounoe. I by the moat Koalous DomOMjH Congress and elsewhere, as cruel, inhuman, and disgraceful to the age. Previ ous to the election Iwth parties held a position unfavorable to calm and rational action upon the subject. The settlors of Kansas very naturally, and, iu our opinion, vory justly, refused active obadlenos to those, enactments. 1 ho Democratic parly, naturally fearful of alienating Its pro-slavory support, could not lake ground iu favor of resistance to them or even openly iu favor of their roo..!. Tho Ropuhb ans, nil the other hand, had ovory motive for bidding tho Democratic party, resMusihle for lows enacted under its astendency, and which it would not take the responsibility of denouncing. Tho whole subject was thus thrown into tho political arena, and the effort of both parties was rather to make jiolitical capital out of the Kansas troubles than to seek the easiost and most feasible means of removing thorn. Now that tho election is over, men of all parties havo a common interest, the restoration of peace and order to the Territory. Wo are gratified to see indications that, under this common impulse, all olasees oru inclined to ptirAuo such a course as will secure tho doaired end. Armed emigration has ceased. Tho Free State men in tho Territory say they want no more fighting nun, but peaceful emigrants who como to make Kaiman their home. The Tho pro-slavery men those of them who have been leader in tho scones of violence ai d outrage v hieh have harassed and dis graced the Territory, are leaving it with their ruffian hordes. Gov. Oeary is doing all in his power to administer justice, and restore public confidence, and the ad ministration is removing the officials who have been the most formidable obstacles to justic and peace and putting in their placos men who will do justice to all alike Under existing circumstances, as Con eases has abdicated the duty of making all needful rules and regulations for the Ter rilory, this is all we can expect: and we bolievo it is all that is required. We hopo that when the Kansas Legis laturu meets it will bo disposed to act in such a spirit as the St. Louis RepuMican oviuces in the extract we have given. N. Y. Tin.

We do not fear the political advantage which slavory may ac quireHhereby, nor will it add to tho bon dago of a single slave. But it must be annexed by purchase or otherwise peace ably. Spain has an undoubted right to it, and a right to hold it during its pleasure, and, desirable as it is to us, we would scorn to take advantage of Spain for its possession.

SS Ol XI Ml SPESCH OF HOI WILL CUM BAOX. OV 1RIARA( Is Tsrs I loc si or RsTsasBsrriTTras, December 17, IMS, On the question of referring: the President's Message to the CommitU.e of the Whole on the state of the Union, and tho printing of ten thousands copies thereof. Mr. Cumbsek said : Mr. Speaker: I do not propose to occupy all the time that is allowed roe by tha rules of tbo House In presenting what I desire to say In relation to this roost extraordinary mseaage, and the not loss re - roaakably manner lnwhich the friends of the Administration have attempted to de fend it. I am not one of those who think this discussion unprofitable. It certainly has already disclosed the fact that the presidential canvass has sottlsd no great principles that on the great living qua tion of the times, we are as much at sea at before. The election of the successful candidates has been advocated in one tion of tho Union by claiming for then that slavory would be extended into Kan sas; while iu the other section, on the ban ners of the same party, were omblssoned "Buchanan and Breckinridge and free Kansas;" and already wo find that there is a want of harmony among the victors. It cannot be aaid that this discussion was brought on by tho act of those on this side of tho House. Tat President, who hu become the arch -agitator of this quo tion, is responsible for this renewed de bate, for wo are not of that craven spirit that we will sit silently by, and have our motives lmpunged, and our objects will fully in . .-.represented. For his assault up on the motives, the integrity, the pstriotism of those who cast their votes against the extension of slavo labor and in favor of protecting freo labor, we have arranged him. ! He chargos that the Republican party, now numbering near a million and a half of tho most patriotic and intelligent sons of our common country, are wanting iu fidelity to the Constitution, and desire to overturn the Union of thoso States. That charge on his part is entirely gra tuitous, and without the shadow of foundation in truth. I ask his friends for the proof. We have Interposed our flattest denial. Do they find it in the Republi cau press ? Do they find it in the svow ed platform of principles of the jiartyT Do they find it in the speeches of the ac knowledged leaders and expounders of our political faith ? No, sir, they find it nowhere; and their attempts to adduce the proof has been a most total failure, and the defense of that part of the message has been entirely abandoned. On the contrary, when the members of that party met to announce thoir purposes, and seloct thoir candidates for the contest, they unanimously promulgated this resolution ss one of their patriotic purposes : Resolved, That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Federal Constitution, are essential to the presovation of our republican institutions, and that the Federal Constitutions, the rights of the States, and the Union of the States, shall be preserved. Now, sir, I undertake to say, fearless of successful contradiction, a resolution so explicit in favor of the Union as the one I havejuit read, could not have passed tbo convention at Cincinnati unanimously. The Union at all hazards and under all circumstances, is not the sentiment of a large portion of tho Democratic party in the South. It is with them the Union with provisions and conditions. The Republicans intend, notwithstanding, that the Union shall bo preserved; and they will not suffer the fanaticism of the South to remove a single pillar from the temple of American liberty. I commend the President, then, when he proposes to read lectures to those unfaithful in profession or practice to the Union of t heso States, that he turn his face to the South, that he rebuke the Democratic journals in the South, that are openly disunion in their professions; that he admonish sharply that class of politicians who make the threadbare throat, that when the government shall pass out of the hands of the slaveocracy into the hands of the free laboring massess, that they will not submit. "Physician, heal thyself," is a religious admonition that the President would do well to remember. But, again, the President charges that the million and a half of the best and purest men of the country who bsve banded themselves together for the good and peace of the Union, for the interest of tbo free white laborer, for tho protection of the dignity, respectability, and value of free labor, are hypocrites dishonest men; that they pretend to bo in favor of one purpose, while in fact and in truth they are laboring for a totally different object Ue says that while we are "protonding" to be in favor of the non-extension of ahv very, we really desire to interfere with in the States where it exists. .1 This misrepresentation ia wiD'j we havo arraigned him for it; and ' j men on tho othor side of tr 0 Houso have entered meir appearance iu I . 1 ii 1 What, sir, are the m',iAn. to fW11the President frrjm thf dilomms into which be oMeiibomtely placed himself? Whatiat;je proof adduced in suDoort of the m'jMage ? it lg of that character that O'ily serves to convince tho world of the falsity of the President's position and the feebleness of the defease. They come and produce as proof, not the platfrom of principlo of the Republicans not the speeches of avowed leaders, or the statements of the Republican press but the opinions of a few individu and charge that to the Republican pari , and urge it as a defense of the President. I hold this failure on their part to sustain the President, as well as the misstatements and falsity of this message, to be the highest pos sible commendation of the principles of the Republican party. The President dare not attempt to base his charges upon tho avowed principles of the party, nor dare his defenders attempt his justification in the same honest and manly way. But, on the contrary, he erects his man of straw, makes out a platform of principles from his own imagination, and then, with an air of triumph, proceeds to destroy hisowncreat'on, feeble would he be, indeed, if he were not able for such an effort.

Mr. Speaker, the kosten ble gentleman from Georgia Mr. Crawford ssade aa able defense for the President on this loot yesterday. It was calm; it was it was dispassionate. But, sir, he to have falten into the asms error that has found its way into the President's roessage. He charges that we desire to attack the "outposts of slavery." If. lad sad, slavery has outposU beyond the limits of the slave States, I know not where they are, or how they constitutionally exist; but if the gentlemen means that It Is oar purpose to prevent slavery from planting its outposU upon soil consecrated to freedom then, Indeed, he comprehends our purpose. We bsve no attack to make upon slavery, but will defend and maintain the outposts of freedom whenever they are, and st whatever cost. That, sir, is our whole purpose, snd that, by the help of God, ws will accomplish. "Bat" says the same gentleman, "wb a will be the coni ii en c if you hem us in, aad conflns us to the limits of the slave States ?" The able collogue of the gentleman Mr. Warner took the same position last session, which I will present. "There is not s slaveholder in this House or out of it, but who knows par. fectlv well that, whenever slavery is confined within certain siwcial limits, its future existence is doomed; it is only a question of time as to its final destruction. Tou msy take any single slsveholding county in the southern States, in which the great staples of cotton and sugar ara cultivated to any extent, and confine the present slave population within the limits of that county. Such is the rapid natu ral increase of the slaves, and the rapid exhaustion of the soil in the cultivation of those crops, (which add so much to the commercial wealth of the country,) that in a few years it would be impceible to support them within the limits of each county. Both master and slave would be starved out; and what would be the practical effect in any one county, the same result would happen to all the slaveholding State. Slavery cannot be niinlaad within certain specified limits without producing the destruction of both master snd slave. It requires fresh lands, plenty of wood snd water, not only for the comfort and happiness of the slave, bat for the benefit of the owner. We understand perfectly well the practical effect of the proposed restriction upon our rights, and to what extent it interferes with sisvery in the States; and wa also understand the object and purpose of that interference. If the slaveholding States should ever be ao regardless of their rights, and their honor, as coequal States, to be willit.g to submit to this propose restriction, for the sake of harmor-, peace, they could not do it, Vhore is a great overruling, practical nocessitv, which would preveut it. The-. ought " not to submit to it upon pr'cipi0 j they ooald snd could not if would." Slsvery e tension is an absolute necesty, to famish fresh lands aad fresh fields for the blight and curse of slavery, to prevent master and slave from perishing by starvation. Sir, there is no crowding in the slave States yet In the State represented by the gentlemen, whilo they bsve improved but six millions of acres of their land, there is still in the some State sixteen millions unimproved. There is no necessity for such s demand yet for Use slaveholder in Georgia. From the census of I860 we find that the slave States have not yet occupied one fourth of the territory within their limits. But, be that ss it msy, the advancement of such a reason for the extension of slavery is startling to the well-wisher of bis country, and ia sufficient to convince reasonable men ry where of the patriotic purpose of the Republicans. Sir, when but one fourth of the territo ry given to slavery ia occupied, and vbr , there are now hut three million al rm and we are admonished that Ü room for self-preacrratvea- 40 expand over the freo lernwrw to preserve the existence of saaster rf , whM 'ti t .1 it. will be the oondit .on of things when sla very exieuo- , ta ... pacifi, WB have fifty .-UTa SutM twenty-five slavo, and no mora room to exIf, indeed, slavery is becoming dangerous and burdensome on your hands now, what will it be then upon your children ? But this cry for room is fallacious. It is not room that you are so anxious to obtain, but power political power tae power of him who directs labor against those who labor the power of the three hundred and fifty thousand slaveholders against the millions of free laborers from all parts of the Union. When I stated, last session of Congress, tbst the Kansas bill w as passed, the Missouri compromise repealed, simply to strengthen political power in the South, gentlemen on the other side manifested much sensitiveness, and denied any such purpose. Northern aad southern men both said it was "to allow the people to be perfectly free to form their own institutions in their own way." Southern men said they did not expect it would be a slave State; but that the restriction was an odious discrimination against them. Were not the people of Oregon and Minnesota entitled to be "perfectly free" also, and was not the restriction around those Territories as odious as the other ? Yet you never have complained of those restrictions. Tou have not taken the same sealous interest in the enlargement of thoir rights. The answer is obvious; and it is manifest to all rasa, that where you could not get power you cored not for the principle. The new Governor of South Corolina, in his inagnrsi, which I received this morning, wakes an honest disclosure of your purpose. Be says : "Now, in order to preserve, ia
