 In tls lnss nambsr of te jonrns se iaappsoprussly styled the Democraf, is voice from tho saulf over the signature of .s Benton" The wriisr displays sboai as much knowledgs of the subject he sttsmpts to iliassate as might cenvsniensiy bs susaised up- on "the Iittls end of nothing whittIed down to q point" Under the guiss of correcting what he Is pleased to consider erroneous and unjust impress sons hs seeks to make an attack nPon one of your es.sespandsnss. BeatoRs article, like most of the productions of the auihor Is not only greatly over s,ralned. bot glsTiugiy "erreneoas." The slime of the reptile that licked il into shape, and the wilful and desigaiag mi.repressntstioa acts which it sets forth, be,nys its origin.
 It is not probable that one who is 60 well known as striker for the new SeRafor should hs tarry two months instead of two weeks in the viclnage of Benton, would meet with many who would make their business to tell him that they opposed 10 his master It Is Ca fixed fact, that one of the Sen atoral candidates In Saline county proclaimed him self Boriand.man, aud was. by the whole county, considered the Borland-candidate. He was, also. up to this time, looked upon as one of the most popular men in the county. yet, as Boriand can didsts, Ae scGs badly beafeR.
 "Benton'' was probably not aware that, during his sojOnrn In Saline, the Bcrland instruction petit tions were fruitlessy begging siguers h the most populous settlements in the county and were stuck about where-men were congrega'ed in large num- bers day after day, with no whatever attached to them except those of the two Fncarnacion priso ners, who had been instructed to circulate them.
 There is an old saying about birds of . feather Re- that may account for "Bcntcn's sapposing that the whole population of the county were hanging mp on the skirts of the gallant Major. Should he find himself again in Saline county If he will lay aside little of the overweeniug importance for which he is distinguishe and admit for the moment that other men IS well as himself have eyes to sec and 10 hear he will find if he has the adepeadeace to confess it. that he has been most egregionsy mis- taken in his comments upon the popularity of his leader.
 Lot him slip the lash and tear himself away from the pack of the bandogs of his favore asprant long enough to mix little among the people themselves and he will discover that what one knows from hts own knowledge is far more certain than what he may have heard from interested parties.
 The "honest and intelligent citizeus'' of Saline are far too sensible to he 'humbuggsd'' insinaa- ted into the support of one comparatively stranger to their interests, when they have before them a candidate whom they have long known and tried who has bcen satisfactorily measured and approved by the Jeffersoniau standard-"Is he honest, is hc faithful, is he capable?"
