since the commencement Of the canvass. When
Mr.. Jackson had concluded his speech, the Glee
Club, who were all in readiness, struck up
"Old Dan Tucker" and before many minutes,
so very appropriate and striking was the rebuke,
not democrat was to be seen, and Mr.. Jackson
mounting his horse, proceeded to that home
which had been so much inSulted by the songs
Of the Glee Club-that ruff an band OF loafers and
ro,cdies. Would to God that Mr.. Jackson may
never be insulted again by the songs Of these
happy souls. Would that these Wings, who
finding such effects produced upon the democrats,
would cease and never sing good Wing song
again. Far and near we hear the cry from the
okies that ''you have no arguments, therefore
you sing" IT'S not 80; we do have arguments;
good and substantial ones but what use have we
for them? Do not all understand our positions
Need we explain our principles? They are in
every line Of the Constution-in every sentence
Of the Declaration Of Independence. Our acts
are "known and read Of all men," then why neec
we trouble ourselves to offer arguments; we have
taken our position; let the democrats argue, and
when they begin 10 refute them, then we viii
reply; but we wait for that in vain all that we
have, is abuse OF Mr.. Clay and his measures
They denounce Mr.. Clay as anti Texas and ye
support Tom Benton, who is worse. When you
ask a Democrat If he has read Mr.. Benton
speech; his reply is, ooh I've read so many o
his speeches. do not know 10 which you refer
and you can never pin him to the point; so it i
on all subjects; so let US all go ahead with ou
songs, and now boys, one and all, turn TO "yalle

STABBING AT COL. BENTON.

The democracy of Randolph county
held a Texas meeting in Huntsville, on the
7th inst, at which the resolutions copied
below were adopted. DR.. Fort presided
over the deliberations of the meeting, and
is reported to have explained IFS objects,
"fully and lucidly." c. F. JACKSON was
present, and "ably and eloquently" spoke
for immediate annexation, and, Of course,
against Col. BENTON. 1t remains to be
seen whether these eloquent" and "lucid"
champions for unconditional annexation,
will not vote for man for U. S. Senator,
who has denounced their views on this
subject, as unconstitutional, dishonest and
degrading. The following are a part of
the resolutions:
Be it resolued, /. That we fully agree with
those who declare that the present golden mo.
ment to obtain Texas ought not 10 be lost.
Resolped, 2. That to hesitate or refuse to ad.
vance our interest and promote our security,
from fear OF offending other nations who have
nothing (when judged on principles Of equity
10 do with the matter, would be degrading to
our national character, and humiliaLing 10 the
spirit Of every American patriot.
Resolred, 3. That we do not consider the
consent of Mexico as pre- requisite to the an
nexation Of Texas to this union.

OTA correspondent of the Globe, in
1889, in speaking of Col. Polk, when that
gentleman was spoken of as a candidate
for the Vice Presidency, said:
"Mr. Polk is wholly and totally an unfit man
for Vice President Of the United States. He
possesses no single qualification ,ohich should
entihe him 70 the consideration of the party for
that high office"
Mr. Polk has advanced very rapidly in
the opinion of the democracy. In 1889,
the National Organ of that party admitted
communications into its columns, speaking
of him very justly, no doubt, as above:-

racy" consider him fit man for the Pres

1NsrRUcTED.-A large majority Of the people
Of Missouri have recently decided that they
expect the reelection OF Thomas H. Benton and
and David R. Atchson to the Senate Of the
United States. Whoever doubts this, can satisfy
himself by reference to the resolutions Of the
Democratic State Convention-the nominees OF
which have been elected by an overwhelming
vote.--Pldtte Argus.
The above is decidedly rich, and cool. The
legislature instructed TO elect BENTON and ArcHI.
soN-the people, it seems, having been instructed
by the jefferson caucus! This settles the whole
question, as with wand, and an effort is making,
we know, 10 enforce the decree. Bat before il
is done, we intend to have little plain talk
with the people, and in the language Of the
"Platte Argus" in another article, il what we
here say, has not the effect intended, we shall be
palmer still.
The Jefferson caucus, it is we'll known, con.
vened and acted before the course OF our Sena.
tors on the Texas question was known or appre.
hended. The name Of ArcHIsoN, it is alsc
known, was tackled 10 BENroN, by that body, fol
the purpose, in some measure, OF appeasing the
north west, for the marked slight fixed upor
HUeurs and KING; and the "Platte Argus,
no,o, in consequence Of the peculiar position o
parties now in the Legislature, is strongly in favo
Of the original bargain, aided by the efforts Of
representative known to its editor. Texa
bomb, however, has been thrown into the camp
and its effects will scarcely be perceived unit
after the Senatorial election. Perhaps we ar
understood. AT all events, we hardly suppos
it will be in the power Of Judge A1culsoN, o
his friends, to seper the election, and save him
self by using Wing votes in aid Of the Jefferson
caucus decree!-as no Wing, we apprehend
, will so act as to give efficiency to that edci
!, Does Judge ArcHlsoN sanction the word? Ber
ton and Atchison? Perhaps the "Argus" ca

1--WE have iust had conversation with Capt
Johnson, the Senator from Platte, Clay and Ray,
referred 10 by the Times We are authorized by
him, to say, that he will vote for Col. Benton
for U. S. Senator in preference TO any other man
in the State Of Missouri, and that he fully un
dersands the dirty game now being played to de.
feat the expressed will Of the people in relation
to Col Benton Distance alone prevents our
saying the same thing by authority for the repre-.
sentatives from Holt and Clinton
The above is the answer of the "Platte
Argus" to our query in relation to the vote
of the Senator therein named, and is ex.
plicit and satisfactory. Mr.. johnson is
not one of the Senators classed as anti Ben
ton, by the public journals Of the State,
but having made the inquiry, it may be
deemed proper to give our reasons: He is
near relation Of Col. Richard NJ John
son, of Kentucky, and presumed to be ad.
vised of the "dirty game" played by Col
Benton, for years, TO damn and smother hi:

people thought it not improbable that Capt
Johnson, kno,oing these things, would fee
disposed TO rebuke the author and actor
but as it is otherwise, we are not disposed
to quarrel with his deniable and forgivine
dispo sition. Distance" we apprehend

GRAND CAVE IN.

Within less than year, and for all time
previous, the clique democracy preferred
the issue Of "Benton or no Benton" to all
others. From the following, however, il
will be seen that "Old Shad" has caused the
,ohite feather to stream from Gen. Van
Squirt, of the "Missourian," who begs for
peace in the following humiiating terms:
"The Reporter has pretended to desire that the
period TO intervene between now and the first
Monday in November, shall be devoted by the
democracy Of the State TO the Presidential can.
vaSs and we, to show that We not only willing,
but truly DESTROYS that this shall be done, have
answered his suggestion 10 that effect, as follows:
Cease your warfare upon Col. Benton and
other Democrats in the State, and turn your fire
upon whiggery and its chief, and zoe will let you
and those who have acted with you, alone.
This, we consider, the grand "cave in
of the season, and satisfies us that the "Mis.
sourian" is sick and tired of the hot shot
and broad sides of the Reporter" But
Old Shad scorns the compromise-show:
up the white feather-and AYERS that de.
nocracy consists in supporting Polk anc
Dallas and opposing Benton. Van Squirt
he says, is mere slave, bound TO praise
and sustain Benton, who opposes Texas, ii
the face of Polk and Dallas, who are il
favor of immediate annexation. Val
Squirt, we imagine, is still governed by tb'
old motto: Every thing for the CAUSE
nothing for MEN," Are we in error! !
so, we ask 10 be corrected.
