J The New York Courier thinks no polit ical movement or catastrophe would be so fatal to African slavery as a dissolution : of the Union. We quote: 4,The Constitution which created and preserved that UTnion, secures the institu tion from foreign interference, in those , States where it now exists. It may not, , it cannot, prevent the exercise of moral ; influences aimed at its destruction. The enemies of Slavery at the north may 1 preach against it, may denounce it, and do all which can be done indirectly to bring it to an end: they may encourage 'slaves to run away from their masters; they may aid them to evade the law which justifies recapture, they may do much to render slave'property insecue, to make slavery odious in the eyes and thoughts of men, to prevent its extension, to weaken its foundation, and thus ulti mately to secure its abolition. But allthis will be partial, gradual and doubtful. And the Constitution of the Union pre- " Resofred, That the "previously. He certainly has gained all the points in controversy. But Benton it is said, will not acquiesce in the stipula tions of his friends, and he has gone to Platte county. The St. Louis Republican of the 17th, says : Rich. Whig. In the Field. Senator Atchison and Mr. Green. Representative in Congress, are following on the trail of Col. Benton, making speeches after his disappearance. Atchison was to make a speech yesterday at Fayette Green made one on Saturn day at Glasgow. Meanwhile, Benton has gone to the Platte country, Atchison's "stumping ground, and it is suggested that it was not without a very apparent motive that Atchison left his own ravage, to be invaded by his political enemy, while he went speechifying In a different region.
