"Thomas II. Benton has far yielded TO the
wishes of his friends, to honor them with his
presence at Jefferson CITY, on the 9Th of October
next. viii the Editors Of the Boons Lick Times
request Col Birch, OF Fayette, to procure copy Of
The celebrated report Executive patronage,
made in 1925, in The U. S. Senate, by this same
Thomas H. Benton, aud meet the Colonel, and eli

Col BIRCH is absent, By invitation, at the South
ern Convention, at Warsaw--an assenblage which,
being free for ALL is unlike the party carniVa al
Jefferson as modern democracy is unlike old fash
toned repuhlicansm. He will not return until af-
ter the 9Th has ''come and gono"-and if he were
even TO do SO, the declenson to accept the PROPOSE
ton of the wings last summer is significant enough,
that the Locos intend TO no risk Of having the
the effect of CO.. Bentons stories sp0tlsl by Col
Birch's documentary way Of proving them untrue.
By correspondence between the Senator and
some Of his First Ward friends in St. Louis, we
discover that he does not reliaquish, but posPones
flor few days, only, we presume) his intended
visit 10 the Northern counties. In these counties,
however it is now clear that he will be received rs
he is 10 be at Jelferson-nyt the Senator If the

constituents, and leave the others to make up an(

leaders of the party with winch he is now acting
have been, and are, FsleraliStS, No man know,
better than he does, that all the prominent teHdeH-
cies Of the government, since it has been in the
hands Of the present Executive, have been subver-
sive Of the principles Of the old republican church
and that his pretended reverence for democracy
would not shield him an hour from the whitening
analysis which sensible and well-informed speak,

practices AID purposes Of those who have res4Sct-

the early days Of their cyaaurriag JqchsonsaI, are
now the doctrines II General Harrison sal his
friends-and that the reverse Of all these are nor

Col. Benton has, therefore, doubtless instructed his
friends to decline any proposition which may ena.
