LET THE MATTER BE TESTED,

1t being announced in the st. Louis Argus that
Col. BENTON intends to devote himself to visiting
his constituents in the Northern and Western coun-
ties during the recess of Congress. and it being
believed that the Democratic Meeting which is call
ed in the Court House to-day is intended, princi-
paly, to take steps to receive and entertain him in
becoming manner, we are authorized and requested
to propose that the Wing and Republican constitu-
ents of that Senator will be happy to participate in
the trouble and expense Of saeti entertainments as
may be agreed upon--with noSether reciprocity than
that they shall be hcared, through such gentleman
as they may designate, as patiently and respect
fully as they pledge themselves to listen to their
guest and servant.
A list OF Names as respectable as any in the
county, will be rendered upon the application of a
similnr committee from the Democratic meeting
and the basis of the general meeting and general
discussion being set out above, the details can be
easily adjusted. We will but add an expression of
the ardent & sincere hope which we entertain, that
the people may experience no disappointment in re-
ference to an expectation so reasonable, md. we

to govern and control the judgments, the inclina-

for the purpose of "setng their ball in motion!"-

From Me MilledgeuiHe Recorder,
DID 0SDElIS N EEAlA,

We believe most candidly, that we are authorized
ny the information which we have resolved from the
different quarters Of the State, to say to nug friends
that Georgia is safe for Harrison. According to
our information, which is extensive, and we believe
trustwOrthy--Lhe cause of Reform is constantly
prOgressing-the changes in our favor are most
suspicious and encouraging, and instead Of any
action or retrocessun in public opinion, the cause
of truth and Of the country Is daily widening the
circuit Of its triumphs. The people are aroused !;
they seek light and truth; the means to arrive a t
which are now in their hands; and perc,ving what
is right the honesty Of the people is determined
that right shall be done. Indeed, although we be-
leve every week and every day adds to the strength
of our cause and although such is orr confidence
shall continue TO gain nccessions even Till the day
Of election in November next, yet such are our
prospects even now, from all our sources of infor
nation, that should cheeriully 90 to the polls IN
this behalf on Monday next, confident that Mr.
Van Buren, would as he did before, suffer. a deci
Sive defeat, The People have taken this Presiden-
ta election out of the hands of the mere politicians
they are ar0used-they identify this election with
their own best interests and the interests and pros
peritY Of the country; and this they will as certain
~ show in November next, by their thorough rejec-
lion Of Mr., Van Buren, and his ruinous projects,
as we can be certain Of any thing to come, upon the
most satisfactory evidence. Well done, irccmen
Of Georgia; vndicate your rights, which hqye so
long been 50 s!RncIuIly trampl3d on.
