We believe that Mr. Benton so far as
his own erenions OF his influence can reach
Ia resolved to accomplish the defeat OF The
Democratic party He is determined 10 be Ievenged
foI the loss of his Dictatorship. The Governor OF
Virginia, the relative of Col. Benton, has recently
caused much surprise by some Of his Official acts and
the Charlottesville Republican, said to be under ne I'M
mediate control Of thorough idoiiser OF Benton s'ro-
Gently manifested a determination TO oppose tho
sreng hening of the Democratic party
In 1924, Col. Benton was the ardent sdmlrer and
supporter of Henry Clay. He esnvassed ,be whole
State Of Missouri for him, in the campaign of that
year His present course is well calculated TO secure
the election of MIR. Clay in November next. +. p.
Blair of the Gobe also supported IA Clay in 1894.
But he was "rela,ive." That would be as good an
excuse for supporting him doing so at that
time.
1t is time that the Democratic patty should be
full time it should know true friends from secret
foes. To command success those foes must be cut
of entirely. Read them out Of the party, and let
them 60 over openly 10 the enemy Danish from the
party, the Globe Benton, tho Albany Regency, and
some others, numbering in all not more than hfty or
sixty individuals and strength will be greater than
ever and victory will be certain. Otherwise defeat
nil be inevitable.

The only way under heaven for the Democratic party
to succeed is to repudla,e, and vii bout delay TO sep
arate themselves from the whole concern. Every

importance of Mr.. Tyer's principles and position,
not only to the succ SIS of the Democratic party, Blu,

would succeed hereafter, no time must be losI

Democrats will be removed.

Sir: You will doubtless agree with that the
late Baltimore Convention placed the Democratic
party at the North in position OF great difficulty
We are constantly reminded tina i rejected Mr. Van
Buren, and nominated Mr.. Polk, for reasons cannect-
Ell with the immed ate anne alton of Texas-Teasops
which had no relation to the principles OF the party
Nor was that all The Convention went beyond the
authority delegate to IT'S members, and ad pied re-
solution the subject Of TeIas Ga subject not before
the country when they were elected, upon which,
therefore they not nsructed) which seeks to in
lerpolae into the party code a doctrine hitherto
unknown among US, at war with some of our estab'
lished principles and abhorrent to the opinions and
feelings OF great majority Of northern fre.men.-
Ia this position what the party at the North to
do Was it to reject the nominations and aban-
don the contest, shall it support the nomina-
tons, rejecting the untenable doctrine lnterpo-
lated at the Convention, and taking care that
their support should be accompanied with such
an expression of their opinion, as to prevent
its being misinterpreted' The latter alternative has
been preferred and think wisely; for we con-
ceive that proper expression Of their opinions will
save their votes FROM msconstruction and that pro-
per efforts will the nomination of such mcui-
be:s of Congress, will reject the unwarrantable
scheme now pres ed upon the country.
With these views, assuming that you feel on this
subject DO have been desired address you,
and invite the operation of yourself and other
friends throughout the State.
