MARION COUNTY.

We invite attention to the proceedings of q mass
meeting Of the Democracy of Marion county, on
the first side Of this paper. It was held in Palmy-
- on Monday, tbs 9th inst, and was . perfect Jug
handle affair. Marion county, above all others in
Northeastern Missouh-yeal in the whole State,
has been noted for her unwavering and enthusi-
asfc support of the Hon. Thomas Il. Benton. In
1874, when the cry was Benton or no Benton, and
the party was much divided throughout this Sec
ton Of the State, the Democrats of Marion county
was a. firm As the rock Of Gibrslter, and As true
to his support as the magnet to the North. Then
It wa, in the language of the Hannibal Courier,
that not SIX Democratic voters could be found in
that county to oppose that Honorable Senator; and
now, says that paper, the sAme number of Demo.
cratic voters could not be ~broughtto vote in his "a
Vor. At the large and enthusiastic mass meeting
just held in Palmyra, there were but tDo dissenting
voices to the resolutions strongly condemuing biz
"appeal," and no one could be found to speak in
his behalf.
We now HAYES plain question to ask our read.
ers:-What has brought about this state of thingsi
have the intelligent voters of Marion county al
changed, or has the Hon. Thomas Il. Benton
changed?

ELECTION RETURNS.

During the last week the returns from the
elections just over in several States have been
no Little mixed and confused. They are in the
main satisfactory to the democrats, and leave no
doubt that the power has passed from the hands
Of Judea. Gen. Taylor is left with a minority
in both branches Of Congress. The election Of
Gen. Trusdale, the democratic candidate for Gov
srnos in Tennessee, is conceded by the Repub-
lican BY 1900 and 1900 votes. The Congress-
men stand Z democrats and 4 wings. Both branch
q Of the Legislature are very close, and claimed
BY both sides. We incline to the opinion the
democrats have Q majority on joint ballot.
In Kentucky the democrats have gsined the 4th
and 10th districts, aud lost the ID and Sd. The
delegation viii stand as before, 6 wings and 4
democrats. Marshail's election in the Louisville
district Il still in the woods and is claimed by
the wings BY IS votes. The wings have lesser
msjorities than usual in both branches ofthe Leg
hlature. The Emancipation ticket for 4 State Con-
vention has been routed horse foot and dragon.
The following dispatch 10 all we have from
Iadiana. The wings think it is enough:

THE DISCUSSION IN PLATTE CITY,

The In LATTE Cl1fs
In another column will be found the proceedings
of q political meeting held in Platte City on the 4th
inst. The Hon. Thomas H. Benton was invited
to address the people in behalf of the merits Of his
"appeaI," and the Hon. James II. Birch was also
to show its errors aud to speak in behalf Of
the resolutions of the Legislature and of the righ;
of instruction. Upon arriving ar Platte City, Col.
Benton refused to meet Judge Birch, or to speak Al
the same place. He accordingly left the Court
House to the latter, and went a stbush attacking tn
in the woods. Why is it, Democrats Of Missouri,
that Col. Benton will not meet a competitor in open
and fair discussion before the peopleP 1t will not
do to cay it is because he objects to Birch upon per.
sonal grounds, the objection is not valid besides
he refused to hear the Hon. C. F. Jackson in re-
ply to his speech at Glasgow, in Howard county.
Is there no one who has q right to speak in Mis-
souri, but Senator Benton? Is be to rove over the
land and make his personal assaults upon men, and
deny them the privilege Of q replya Il he to set
at naught the will CT the State that has so long
and sustained him, and deny to any Of her
citizens the right to speak, in her own borders, in
her behalf? IL he to denounce at pleasure the
whole Legislature of the State as tfknaves and
fools,'' and trample their Instructions under foot
because they are in his road to the Piesidencyp-
Il he virtually to have the whole Democratic party
of the State decapitated because they choose to
think for themselves and refuse to desert their
principles and their sacred constitutional rights at
the mere behest of their political servant? Is that
.servdnt to constitute himself the master of the PEG.
pie, to convert his master, the Legislature, into q
''heifer' to plough up fres-soil doctrine at pleasure,
covering their principles, their dearest privileges,
with their political brethren, forever in his "deep
ditch" because that kind of soil suits him the best
to run on for the Presidency And has Senator
Benton grown so large of late that Missouri has no
sons that he will condsscend to meet In debate p
If 50, he had better 60 to some more aristoc ratio
land, where Kings and tyrants are feared more
than in republican Missouri. No! no !! Senator
Benton has deserted the principles ofhis party, and
does no. want to hear an exposure Of his sophistry
before the people-it is killing to bis i~nsolsraur
lpride.
P. S.-The proceedings above mentioned
are laid over for want of room.

FOREIGN NEWS.
Arrival Of the Hibernia,

We select from the telegraphic despatch
es for the st. Louis papers, the following
item Of information respecting the struggle
now going on between the "brave Hunga-
rians" on the M side, and the Austr;ans
and Russians on the other. The conflict is
a deadly one, and upon its termination rests
'e~minently the success of the spirit of free
dom, for an indefinite time, that has recent
ly blazed forth with such brilliancy from
the bosom of Europe. The Hungarian war
|is a struggle between freedom and oppres-
sion.
LIVERPOOL, August 9TH, ls49.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
The Hungarians continue successful
They had defeated and out-manouvred the
enemy-placed the Austrians in peril, and
cut off the Russians from their base of OPP
erations. The three great generals are
now in communication with each other,
ready to act together if necessary, their re-
|spectivs positions being rendered secure by
the nature of the country, while there is
nothing to prevent their emerging from
their Businesses when an occasion may pre-.
sent itself. The whole population serve

Charge; Mr.. Clay has a son aforeign Charge
appointed by president whose election he
strongly deprecated; Mr.. Webster has two
of his sons in Office, and lately applied to
General Taylor for a third-to Gen. Taylor,
whose nomination he considered "not ft to
be made" Prompt and decided was the
response of the old General. "Sir, I con-
slider you well enough provided for" Mr..
Crittenden has SONS and other relatives in
Vulnerable, in lucrative public Offices; and
Gen. Cass' son occupies aposition for which
he has already displayed his un6tness, in
representing this republic near that of Rome.
These facts show conclusively that our old
politicians do not serve their country with
out a reward. They show, too, that a sys-
tenn of nepotism has been introduced into
our government, which 10 hostile to repub.
lican institutions and equal rights. Men
can reflect no glory or infamy from their
p~rogenitors. Each man must stand on his
own ~meriH-riss or fall by his own conduct.
Above all others, our distinguished political
men should avoid the suspicion Of being
brought up with governmental patronage
They should decline rather thar beg stations
and place for their relations. Their patri-
otism and honor should be free from the
faint Of ofics-bsgging. Their position and
talents render them independent Of, and
