and made arrangements last month to put the paper

In former letter, gave the names Of some OF
the gentlemen who will conduct the Standard but
must descend little into particulars, that your
readers may know the exact influences which are at
work to break down every body else but Benton and
Van Buren, There SIG besides the publish
err, (who is relative Of the Globe concern,) viz.
Thomas Watson, Esq, late postmaster OF this city,
and imported from North Carolina short time since
by Col. Benton and is hardly known out Of the city
His son John, who was defeated before the people
last winter for clerksbip, and is looking for an Of
flee from Mr.. Van Buren,. Judge Bowlin, M. c.
elect, the greatest demagogue in the State, the
man who welcomed MIR. Van Buren, across the " R,l-
biconD into Missouri last summer, trumpcter Of his
own abilities all occasions, and sort Of minia-
ture Danton, who loves the dear people but is afraid
to trust them elect their members of Congress by
Districts lest he should be left at home and he there
fore wraps himself in the mantle Of Benton Van
Buren,, and the clique, to shield himself from po-
litical annihilation. M Blair United States Attor
ney for this State, and retained in Office by Mr.. Ty-
Ter merely for the qualification Of laughing at the
Globe every time it repeats the flo, that none but
renegade Democrats will hold Office under his Admi

Iowa. who is in hopes TO follow in the footsteps OF
some great man. but has too much OF the aristocra-

much Of dandy to be popular with the people any
where.

up to oyerturn Shadrach Penn, Of the Missouri Re-
porter, under the prctencc of serving Col Benton,
Gov Reynolds DR.. Lowry and Mr. Van Buren,!

though Mcssrs. Benton and Van Burcns interests
may fall in the contest, yet there will be no backing
out of the I" Reporter which has been so uniustIy
assailed by attempt TO read it out of the party
The first trial Of strength was had between the par
ties night before last at meeting of the g ST. Louis
Democratic association" the passage of some test
resolutions that had been introduced into the Asso-
citation last February by Judge Bowlin, and which he
had not succeeded in getting through. Among other
things the resolutions were connua.ory of the nom

last winter, and of the choice of delegates to the
National Convention, made at the same time Also
gates 10 the National Convention, and against paper
money, and in favor of penal laws to drive deprecia-
ted paper from the State
need not go into the particulars, except to say
that the friends of the Reporter voted down the friends
of the Standard at every vote There was great es-
element for several hours, and you will be pleased
TO learn THAT tho friends of Mr. Tyler gave the VIC
tory TO the friends of the Reporter on the most inn
portant vote. The contest will come off finally at
the next meeting, when will inform you of the ie
suit.
Thus you see the Benton Van Buren, clique have,
at the very threshold of the contest found themselves

Van Buren, hope for in this quarter under such
leaders and upon such issues MIR. Iynde Elliott of
