Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1843-08-12

Gov. REYNOLDS recently got up forged
correspondence through his Inquirer, dep
recatng in lamentabe terms, the prospect
of there being two sets of Democratic
tickets at the next election, laying the blame
on the Reporter and its party. The Lib
erty Banner takes up the subject, and
discourseth as follows:
"Some alarm has been excited upon the
great probability of our having two demo-
cratic candidates for Governor, at our cleo
ton; and if il shall be, that some of our
would be democratic leaders, will not cease
their impositions upon the party, it may be
right for us TO pause and consider whether
the alarm is not well founded.
Such a state of affairs is possible, and
indeed when we give our thoughts free
scope upon the subject, we think 1t most
probable, that such will be the case. The
enemies of districting the State and the en-
emics of Johnson or rather the friends of
Mr.. Van Buren,, seem firmly bent to sweep
before them, like a reckless tornado, all OPP
positon--to trample upon the necks OF
every one, who will not bend to their i'm
perious mandates-to force every man, who
will not vote for Mr.. Van Buren's nomina-
tion-or who will not support the general
ticket system, from the ranks Of the dem
ocralc party. This seli.consituted and
well organized band may be wise unto sal
vation-they may be wise beyond the age
in which they live, in regard to the princl'
pies which they advocate; but when they
attempt to FORCE men down TO standard
when they attempt to force peculiar
measures upon party, in democratic go
vernment, they will then find, as now, thai
their wisdom hath awaited them nothing.
If, however, two sets of candidates are
in the field, that party which is known by
the name of the Clique" will have none
other to blame but themselves They have
revled and abused at least a part of th'
parly-they have abused slandered anc
misrepresented democratic papers--they
have attempted to repudiate honest mel
and faithful democrats for their opinions
And what is it that they have not done?-
They have voluntarily taken this course
and now, voluntarily or not, they must sui
fer the consequences.
In this emergency, Governor Reynolds i
in no enviable position. Whether he i
guilty or innocent of the crime of dividin!
the party, we are unable to say; or whethe
he has contributed anything towards i,
will be of but little consequence--th
blame will finally fall upon his shoulders
The course that the Inquirer has taken, a
) the organ Of the State Government, wi
naturally, and perhaps Justly, bring thu
blame down upon the head of the Cover
j nor.
But some of the more sagaclous Of tn
"Cliquc" have already scented the breez
from the rising storm, and are now urgln!
the meeting of convention, where the.
hope to suppress all misgivings--whit'
wash what has passed, and solemnly ratif.
their PRESENT nefarious intrigues and wire
working, by the imposing seal of Estate
Covention"--yes, Estate Convention" -
We'll, gentlemen, you may succeed, it il
your last chance, your only hope of escape
But we doubt whether your sagacity will
enable you to get through safely. W.
doubt whether the people will let you, un
molested, go on with your Estate Conven
ton" nominate your candidate for Presi
dency, and fasten your candidate for Gov
ernor, they possibly may grant you all thi:
quietly and yet storm may rise in which
your puny trckery may be forgotten, anC
the fearless democrats who will direct the
whirlwind, will look down at your attempt
ed lntrigues with superlative contempt.
