ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 18th, 1874.
The Madisonian of the 9Th instant brings us the
gratifying tdngs Of the appointment OF John T. Cal
houn as Secretary of State, and the rumored APP
pontment of Gov. Shannon as Minister TO Mexico
The friends of the President. are greatly rejoced
at these events, and those of MIR. Calhoun are not
less So
Since the melancholy intelligence of the lamenied
Upshut's death, have heard but one opinion IN this
part of the Union as 10 who ought to be his successor
(among the anti Van Buren, Democrats,) and Mr..
Calhoun has been the man designated. The event
is hailed as a sure precursor Of the success OF the
party in November next, for the Van Buren, men
can no longer calculate upon him to unite the party
and lead it to victory and must therefore, see The
necessity of looking to its harmony and concentration
soon as possible.
With MIR. Tyler as the compromise candidate, we
can achieve certain and gorousvictory for he can OBJ
tain the support Of the anti Bank and STATE rights "'ss
which other Democratic candidate can do men,
again, he is the very man TO run against Mr. Ciay'
because they represent to the fullest extent the great
questions each side, which are to constitute inc
issues in the approaching contest
Mr.. Tyer's principles and views Of public policy
will command much larger vote than either the ad-
yocate of a Bank, high tariff, and demolition of the
veto power-or the advocate of SubTreasury and
"leg treasurers."
The veto and the an,i-veto leaders must be the
candidates. and then the People will decide the ques
ton fairly between the two and am not little
gratifed at the firm stand taken by the friends of MIR
TYLER at Washington in saying that they will not per
nit the capital made by his vetoes, to be appro-
prated to the uses of any other candidate.
This is The true spirit, and is maniies,ing itself
rapidly all over the country. Justice must be done
to him who saved the party IN It's gloJmiest hour,
before success be had with any other Ieader-and
if | do not greatly mistake the signs of the times,
Justice oub done TO John Tyler 10 the present year His
friends i'll hold their conventions in this State and Ill
nos during the first week of next month, prePratoyto
the election of delegates to Tyler Convention at Bal
iinore the 9th Of May and here are many u'-
terrified spirits engaged in these movements, you may
rely upon seeing oganiz tion carried in he same
determined manner which marks the proceedings of
the friends at Washington.
We fully concur with you, in resolving upon nc
tory or death
The great Jackson Jubilee came of in this city to-
day. at which Col. Benton's nephew and few other
aJherenis were foolish enough to introduce resolu
tons laudatory Of him. treino-'dou, explosion ie0s
the consequence!
The anti. Ben,oo Democrats waited until the reso-
uions were read and ready TO put TO vJte and the
moment the ayes were called, the nephew of the
Colonel without Waiting TO give the a chance 10
vote motioned the band of music 10 strike up; and
thus the negative was not put.
In an instant the stand was filled with speakers,
enraged at the attempt to convert exclusively Jack
son festival purposes of promoting the interests Of
Colonel Benton.
Four exciting speeches were made in succession, IN
opposition to the movement and not single one was
permitted to be heard in defence ofthe great Nilsson
Ran or the -limcd action Of his friend.
Suffice il to say the Benton resolution was recon.
siderej by itself and reseinded
Tonight, the sofIs," or anti-Bentonites meet at
the Courthouse to give further proofs of their de-
termination to resist the anti-Democrac conduct Of
Benton and bis few followers, and if it does not prove
the beginning Of the end which is sure to overake
him next fall, | am no prophet.
There we've several thousand people present, and
an OK was roasted for the occasion; and amidst all
this crowd of Democrats, who do you think was
the active adberent Of Col Benton, in striving to
drowh the indignstions' Why, nephew, -
uissop Earthquake, =" which name they gave him in
l84l, while a resident Of New York.
How does Mr.. Van Buren, expect TO succeed, with
such champion, in Missouri Will these men, who
know Col. Benton is expecting the successorship TO
Van Buren, in ls4S contend very hard for Mr.. Van
Buren's election in 1874 when they know in that
event. that Col Benton will endeayor TO grind them To
powder
The truth is, and il cannot be much longer dis
guisod that Col Bentons sun has nearly sunk below
the horizon, and the very gall and NORWOOD that
he has been so lavshly dealing out to good men be-
fore the Senate this winter will be returned to his
lips with ten-fod concentration Of bitterness.
lie will learn meekness and charity when it is too
late
