From the Missouri Reporter.

Mr.. EpiroR The Missourian Of Saturday.
quotes an article from the Bloomington (lowa)
Herald as indicative of the current of public
sentiment abroad, in relation to the supposed
success Of Col. Benton in this State. We
now put the question direct to Mr.. Russell,
the editor Of the Bloomington Herald. wheih-
he did not state 10 gentleman from st. Louis
Ia Democrat.-som six weeks before pen
nec the article alluded TO. that he believed
Col. Benton to be very dangerous man and
politician, and that he would feel rejoiced II
The Democracy of Missouri would discard him;
that, although he was not resident OF the
State he felt deep interest in having that IN.
cubus calling to Col. Benon) thrown of, and
that lie (ihe editor Of the Herald,) intended to
come out through the columns of his paper
and expose the idiocracy Of Col. Benton; par
,icularIy so far as his hostility TO the inmedl-
ate annexation of Texas TO the United States
is concerned.
An answer to these queries Is respectfully
requested. A DEMOCRAT.
We have frequently expressed our regret
that Mr.. Benton persisted in course. with
such ,enaci,y, (when in our opinion it was not
impera,ively demanded by the affairs of the
State,) in course which was producing dis
union, to an alarming extent among the De-
mocracy Of his own state, aud was gradually
spreading into Others. We have also express
ed our regret that his course towards the dis
affected Democrats was not more conclllatory.
more in accordance With his own molto-'un-
ION, harmony-every thing for the cause
that he arrayed himself against The immediate
remuneration Of Texas, while the great bedy
of the Democracy and their candidate for the
Presidency were in favor Of it-and likewise
expressed the hope that the hue end airy set
up aganst him IN Missouri, whereby we con-
ceived his success by reelection uncertain,
would teach him to be more tolerant towards
those who differ with him in opinion-but we
cannot admit that we ever said we considered
him dangerous politician, or that we ever
desired his defeat for the station which he now
holds. On the other hand, we have, with all
the errors which we thought he had commit
ted, looked 10 his success with no small
degree Of interest, conceivng that his defeat
would deprive the Democracy Of one Of lis
greatest. champions, and the west of one of
its most devoted friends as well as give 10
the wings victory, even though his success
or be a genuine Democrat. GA Democrat"
must have misunderstood our language.

"When ignorance is bliss, Ills folly to be
wise,'' is an old adage, brought by the green
'un of the Hawkeye to his own consolation.
He says he don't care how many editors
come down upon him, exposing his stupidity.
Did he flee from every place where he is set
down for fool, he would make a great trav-
elIer. 1t is well that people take no offence
