Look for instance at the present position of the
democratic party On the sth Of June last the leader
and master spirit of this party departed this ife-his
mantle he bequeathed to the people, who have not
as yet seen fit to bestow it upon any one To
Thomas Hart Benton they certainly have not
given it. His opposition to the annexation of Tex
as virtually crushed him. 1t was case of political
suicide. Aaron v Brown acted as Coroner, Ten
nessee furnished the Jury, the inquest was held at
Washington-and the verdict was published in the
Union, edited by Thomas Richie and printed upon
type which had once contained the mighty spirit of
Benton The death of the Globe was the death knell
OF Benton, who was to that paper precisely what
Andrew Jackson was to the democratic party-its

will exhibit there of the terrific spasmo-

will take bold and startling ground The west will

always nourished and freshened IN the popular
mind by numerous exasperating stories of British

last war. The belligerent fuel is very dry

have a passion for adventure There is no

that Oregon is ours by right-but right or wrong

The guillotine which slew Benton, Van Buren,.
