quirer, written in Nashville, Tennessee.
"But for the course which Col. Benton felt lii hi
duty to pursue in the senate, with regard to the
Texas treaty, the democracy would have carried
Tennessee by ten thousand votes. Every INTEL
gent man in this state knows this to be so. The
Texas question was, at first popular, in all parts oil
the state. 1t would have taken US triumphantly
through this contest. Though inferior in point Of
numbers to tho wings at tho onslaught, we could
have overcome their majority but for the artillery
of Col. Benton. Tho enemy seized upon his
speeches. printed and circulated them by tens Of
thousands. In the fury of the fight, these terrible
guns Of his were turned by the adversary upon our
ranks-and destructive engines were thew made -

Benton, but Just so sure the spartan band OF
Richmond gave life and vigor to tho war in the
ancient dominion of Virginia, just so sure did the
speeches of Thomas II. Benton give success to the
cause Of the wings in Tennessee"
1t is so. and we make the admission with deep
regret. We will not pretend to soy that our ma
iorty would have been ten thousand in Tennessee
but for Mr.. Bentons speeches; but we do say tina,
