The Missouri Election and Mr.. Senator
Benfon.-We perceive by the last Democrat
that Benton has carried his point in Missouri
because the question was kept to the true issue
to wit, Democrat or Federal, tcifhout regard
TO The principles, or measures intended by
either. No doubt such an issue would be
quite convenient to such political loafers as
Benton.
According 30 Benton's notion then, the man
who is arrogant or impudent enough TO call
himself a democrat must be elected into office,
however faithless he may have been, or what
ever crimes he may have been found guilty Of;
inCeed the more audaciously criminal the
wretch may have been the better. II he COM
mence life by Il habit of inveterate stealing, no
matter, if he but calls himself a democrat he
must be sustained by the votes of honest free
men. If, in after life, by means of such votes
he become "a Senator, and certify double mile
age from St. Louis to Washington, and in
at way fitch the treasury of its tens Of thou
sands, no matter, if he only call himself a de-
mocfIt he must be further sustained. IL not
WITT. landing he has been detected in public
piurder To the amount of thousands upon thou

lag his rapacity aud appetite for plumber is in

still IL he only call hnmself a democrat il is
enough! And among the squatters and loafers
of Missouri il appears that il is enoughi What
a subject of pity it is for Benton and his pratt
cal gang, that the people of the other States
think differently.

90 THE GREATEST DEMOCRATIC
REACTION YETLn

1t will be recollected that the Chicago Dem
ocrat exulted before the election in Illinois, that
there were 5000 lrishmen on the public works
in that state who would go in a body for the
Loco Foco ticket, and who no doubt did vote
forit. Since the election there has been agreat
reaction there, as will be seen from the follow
ing:
Locomotive Loco Foeos. Loco Foco vot-
ers, like sub-treasurers, are tall walkers
The Chicago American says that since the
election about 500 voters have left the canal in
Cook county, being the greatest Democratic
reaction the Locos nave had To record of late.
As they will be needed in Michigan next, they
probably are making tracks round the head OF
the Lake.

EMANCIPATION IN THE WEsr lNDIEs.-
On our first page will be found an interesting
letter on this subject, from our former towns
man w. r. Hayes Esq now a resident ofBar-
BADGES. He gives a fl~attering account of the
operation Of abolition thus far; aud surely ev-
cry friend of humanity can but hope Tor the
best final results. Much, very much depends
on this experiment, in regard to the final abo-
ition of Slavery in this country. Should 1t be
successful and the fact be demonstrated that
the interest of the planters has been promoted;
or even if this ia not proved, iii is only shown
that immediate emancipation is safe for both
planter and slave, it will do more, ten-iold more
than all other causes to hasten the abolition oil
slavery in the u. S. 1t is stated in a Hartford
paper that several intelligent southern planters
intend to visit the West Indies FOE the purpose
of satisfyin g themselves in regard to the oper-
alton there of the experiment of immediate
emancipation. That the system OF slavery IN
the u. S. must at no very distant day come to
an end none can doubt; but as to the means
best calculated to effect an object so dear TO
every friend Of man, there will be differences OF
opinion. OF one thing there can be no doubt,
that a knowledge of the success of emancipa-
ton in the West Indies, would remove the
greatest and the only serious objections which
are raised against adopting the same measure
by The Southern States. We say by the South
ern States, for it is admitted on all hands that
the national government has no right to in
%terfere. The Southern States and they only
must act in the case, and there is no way in
which the great object OF the abolition of slav-
cry can be 50 much promoted, as by convinc-
ing them either that their interest will be pro-
NOTED by the measure, OF that at least that
they will be safe in adopting it.

THE LATE ELECTION.

fNNh 49,
THE LATE ELECTION.
We are still unable to announce the re-
suit Of the recent election in this State with
absolute certainty. At the time Of our last
publication. the loud buzzas Of the friends
of the Administration, together with the
large majorities given for the Van Buren,
candidates in two or three Of the Northern
counties. had led us to anticipate a par
tial defeat, and 10 suppose that the gain Of
the Wings was still insufficient either to
overcome or neutralize the tremendous ma
iori,y, which was arrayed against us two
years since. Later and more correct re-
turns, however, have changed the aspect Of
things and satisfactorily show that the ex'
u%llalion Of our opponents was at least pre-
mature, as well as unwarranted by the cir
cumstances OF the case. Ii is now pretty
we'll ascertained, that if Mr. CarlIn-the Ad-
ministralion candidate for the Executive
chair of Illinois-is elected, il is by n major
ity so small, as TO leave his party nothing oil
which to boast, aud which, if;he polls were
purged Of every illegal vote, would be re-
duced TO a minority. And when it is con.
sidered. that, at the general election in 1896,
The Van Burenitrs carried our three Con
