be induced to accept it, and if SO, we know
no one better qualified for the situation
his high standing, his intimate acquaintance
with Indian character and the facility
with which he speaks the language of the
various tribes, and more than all, the respect
and confidence of the different nations,
enjoyed during the many years he was an
Indian agent, all point him out as particular
|ly well qualified for the Office. We know,
mo appointment that would give more gen.
leral satisfaction.-Liberty Star.
The following article, which we copy from al
ate Argus, will give our readers more informa-
ton respecting the "Fayette clique and great,
dictator"
THE DEMOCRAT.
This rancorous print is again out upen the Ar.
}gus. That it is playing into the hands Of the
IFayette Bank and St. Louis Brokers no longer
admits Of doubt. Our only fault was an oppo
'siton to the destruction Of the Insurance Compa
Inies. For this henious crime our writings wer e
sstgmatized as "Jesuitcal," base" ''sordd, ~
a''mercenary" &c. To this we contented our :.
3selves with exposing the fact that our assailant
was Member Of the Wing State Central Com
smittee and had lately been brought over and EN-.
Iployed by the Fayete Bank. Our doctrines speak
7for themselves; it is comforting to know that they
are sustained by the people.
This man comes out, as Editor Of the Boon s
click Democrat, and denounces us because we
Twill not engage in the PLOT Ito destroy the In.
surance Companies) Matched by the Fayette
8Cque and endeavored TO be imposed upon the
People as Democracy. That the Companies
exceeded their powers many believe; that they
should be deprived of their ust rights no honest
Il democrat will ever contend.
d To show up the influence these men ought to
3 have with the party, we called attention to the
notorious fact tha, they were selfish, grasping
set OF politicians that had for years beloved out
Great is Diana Of the Ephesans," "hurrah for
Jackson" at the time they uere etully securing
HALL of the important Offices And if any Demo
gcrat objected to the result OF their management he
Ewas viewed as political basphemer and de-
Enounced as "a wing in disguise"
n In this manner they secured for The centre
Ecounties the Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Ehree members OF Congress, and other valuable
Eoficers not now necessary to mention. 10 their
Eftness no one objected, and for them we have
Fever entertained the kindest feelings. To have
Eobiected after their nomination would have been
Eto defeat the party, and done no good, But we
Enow say that this dsgrace(ul Partially cannot be
krepeated. To say that they are better qualified
than Democrats living in other parts Of the State
Hwould be to utter falsehood. 1t was the result
kof trigue-lor fairness called loudly for wide
Edsperson OF these offices-and though good mer
Ewere selected, we yet as loudly denounce the
sntriguers who pushed aside men, equally a:
Egood. as worthy, and as we'll qualified. Hence
1--we boldly said the other day that the Fayettt
"a 1 4 Tho tb;n1 tba

Hthey hereafter have. And we repeat the remarks
Eand we ask pardon Of the Men of nerve and o
3 intellect residing in remote counties who hav'
Ebattlcd long and well for the Democracy Of Mis-
ksouri for allowing this central clique TO carry on
Tits ntrigues against them without taking bolc
aground in oppos ton. But they must take par
Nof the blame also, for they though vexed, were

Hmitted-we will all unite against the little kno
hin the centre and scatter the officers more widely
D A few words moro. The clique caused all OIL
1.-The friends OF the 18th November Bank Resolu
btion to be displaced in the Bank, and now, to
Bdisguise the movement, order their Instrument
Etaken from the wing arsenal-to come out in op
E OPPOSITION to the repeal Of the Resolution Of TIL
EBank, though they had the new Directors el ectec
for that express purpose! "Can impudenc
sHfurther go?" DR.. Lowry the President Of tn
lafayette bank went to Jefferson City, in person
Eto put his plans, whatever they were, IN tram
IL But what places the matter beyond all doubt, is
rHthat the Delegation from Howard county had
Emeeting- prirate-the night before the electio
hof Bank Directors and were in consultation NOR
Ethan four hours 10 decide whaher they woul
iHretan John Smith as President of the State Bank
Ehe being an open friend Of the Resolution Of tn

Ecique Of his influence that, although they ha
rEsecured satisfactory board, their delegation we
@upon the very eve Of refusing 10 abide the Demo
1Hcratic Nomination and thus have secured Viii
-EPresidcnt OF the Bank To prevent such re
insult Mr.. Smith went to a member Of the secre
Ecaucus and told him that if they decided again:
,Hhinl he would withdraw! This generous seI
t Haided by the influence OF Judge Bouldin OF How
y Yard saved him.
Ia The above facts were told to us by severe
Emembers OF the caucus itself And yet the Den
euocrat has the consummate impudcnce 10 come OF
