READ! READ! READ!

We are informed that Col. Benton was
approached yesterday Wednesday, at
Rochepor,, by one of the most respectable
men in this county, who remarked: "COl.
Benton, the people of Missouri are against
the Proviso. We want to know if you will
vote for or against it. Ifyou can't vote a.
gainst it, we want you to resign and let us
elect a man who will"
Col. Benton replied: 81 MAKE NO
PLEDGES-I GIVE NO BONDSr"
Benton and his friends are dared to deny
this. Our informant pledges himself to
prove it, if they do.
Our readers will be astonished at these
bold and reckless declarations Of Col. Ben
ton, showing the most utter disrespect and
contemptfor his constituents. Not content
with insulting them through their collective
body, the Legislature, he treats them with
disregard and contumely individually, in
meeting them among the whole mass TO
which he has appealed. High, indeed, was
the position to which the people had eleva-
ted him, but equally low and dishonorable
is the posture to which he is hurriedly sink
ing himself.

The people of Missouri will not swallow
Abolitionism-for that is what it amounts to
at last. The Democrats of the State can
not countenance an apostate from their
ranks-nor will Democrats or Hhsgs hold
any sympathy with the man who, deserving
the interests of his constituents attempts to
transfer them bodily to the northern fanatics,
in order to subserve his own selfish purpo-
ses. A few who want a master and must
have one, will rally to his support. This is
to be expected, but they are few and far be-
