We are requested by Mr.. 3. G.. Harris
tSecretary) to correct what be says was an
error in printing one Of the democratic
resolutions Of the democratic meeting lately
held at Benton. The 9th resolution, which
says that measures similar to the Standing
Army Bill had been'before recommended by
''our patriotic President'', should read by
our patrio, Presideais. .
Well, now we have corrected the error;
and if that is not jumping out of the frying
pan into the fire. then we give il up. In
the name of all that is historical, when did
any one, much less all Of our sspatriot Pre-
sidenis''. recommend such horrid, infam-
Gus, detestible and illegal measure as this
Standing Army Bill! Will Judge Battalle,
or some other Judge, or some other man be
so good as TO tell us. The Benton Board Of
Democratic, Teachers, now open their trea-
sures of wisdom and inform the world that
our former Presidents (aIl and each Of them,
according to the resolution as amended have
heretofore recommended such measures as
this Army Bill, which Pan Buren, himself,
now at the eleventh hour, says is uncOasti-
tutionaE!!l Was ever the common sense of
an intelligent community SO insulted BY a
company of upstart wisacres setting them-
selves up for politicians! But there were
some intelligent .4nen at that meeting, and
we ask them if they. are not ashamed We
ask the President of the meeting if he is not
ashamed to see his name stuck to the tail Of
such mass of stupid political slang and
SANDER as these resolutions2

Thunder Thunder!! Thuncer 4!

Don't you hear it roar? Oh The people, thl
people, these ,Oicked people. Hon they d
Uotea!
We knew that the roar from Louisiana
was only the beginning of the fall thunders.
But now don'tit roar finally.
KENTUCKY has beat the world. The way
wings have done things there is perfectly
sinful. They have no more compassion upon
the poor loco-focos than Harrison had upon
some ceartain subjects eighteen or twenty
years ago.
INDIANA has gone it HOosier like, all -
gether. They have not left loco -focos enough
for the requisite compliment of Sub-Trea-
surers. Van Buren, ought TO issue orders
against such monopoly forthwith.
But ALABAMA has beat herself. She has
done what no man thought to be morally
possible. She was the strongest and most
certain Van Buren, State in the Union ex-
cept New-Hampshire and perhaps Missouri.
And now where is she. Well done Alabama!

General Witsett.


This old veteran of early times excited
thrill of feeling at the Benton Wing Festival.
In him we had a witness-a living witness
who could stand before US. face to face, and
tell us something about the wars Of the west.
Not a man who heard this gray-headed vet
eran officer recount the dangers Of the Har-
rison wars, could get his own consent to re-
frain from kissing into contempt the nefali-
Gus and black hearted ISLANDERS which party
infatuation would hurI against him. He told
the stories of Gen. Harrison's coWardice, to
the hearts content Of every loco-foeo who
heard him. We do not know the politics d
Gen. Witsett; he said nothing upon that sub.
iect. He only told the plain simple stories
of Harrison's cowardice. Nor did hespeak
from report or hearsay, he told the people q
what hesaw and heard--of the tolls be pass
ed through while serving as an officer under
him, and Of the position and conduct, il
the several battles, Of his General.
Honor, however, % the brave! And let
every base tradueer Of the fair fame Of our
country's heros, be spit upon il consenps,
by every freeman. Kick the base slauderer
out of the World.

commend that the wings Of Mississippi hold
a State Convention on the 9Th Oct next. The
idea is a good one. Wehope thesuggestioI
viii be generally responded 10 and that The
wings will assemble at the place Indicated
lJacksonl BY the acre.
To insure the success of the people against
the great chartered monopoly it is only ne
cessary for the wings to arouse themselves
dilIigence and perseverance,. Letthe people
wake up and see the contest that is going on
and they cannot-.hey viii not longer GUS
tain the nominations that make up the po-
litical doings Of the president and his party.
For years they have been struggling to get
personal possession of the public money
They have got It and now their efforts are rs
straneous and untyring to keep it. This is
the sum and substance of their warfare.
Wings getupand go to work as you have not
worked before. Throw light and information
amongst the people See the efferts of the
Office holders and their partizans. They
struggle as for life. Deception is their chief
instrument of Warfare 70 keep the real is

FEDERAL DESPERATION.

Mr.. Pickens truly compared the clamor
Of Federalism. al the passage OF the indie
pendent Treasury bill, to the bowling of
wolves. Which were at length driven away
from the prey upon which they had so
lung been feas.ing. Let the people not be
deceived. The wolves will not abale their
bewling, unless they can once more fasten
their dry. unbloody tangs in the vitals Of
the country. The specializing classes, Of
which Whigcry is chiefly composed, look
upon the national exchequer, which is
drawn from the sNcst Of the people, as a
prey, a carcass, upon which it is their
privilege to feed. Lettbose who toll and
create, see that their substance is not eatep
