THE JUDGES AWAKEl

THE JUDGES AWAkEl
In our last we gave an account OF
Judge Birch's attack on Col. Benton, at
Liberty. The Benton papers in tina,
section are down upon His Honor at o
heavy rate--not politically, but person
ally. He is accused of abusing his
wife, for an interference on her part
with his colored mistress, and is rep.
resented as having taken the back track
at Liberty, to keep II l.. Rou,. Esq
from pulling his nose. We have no,
seen any statement, contradiction or
explanation from the other side.
Judge Morrow is out in letter ad-
dressed TO Col. Benton, in which he
talks right saucily to the "Senator of
thirty years" The Judge formerly re-
sided in our county, and was once a
Wing, and if we mistake not forsook
that faith, for a real or affected admi-
ration of Col. Benton. This will make
his letter interesting to his old neigh.
bors and friends, and we give it q
place in our columns.
Judge Napton has also issued pro-
nuncismento, which comes TO US in the
last Missouri Democrat. Judge Nap.
ton denies having any acquaintance or
: correspondence with Cslhoun-denies
!, having signed against Jackson in 49, y
D although he admits he did not agree
: with him--denies desiring TO dictate to
$ the Legislature, and is astonished that
Col. Benton should trouble himself Sc
= much about the copyist, but does not de-
d ny his agency in The natter insists
S that the question is not Who ,orote the
3 resolutions, but are they right--"and
whether right or wrong, why does moi
Col. Benton obey them, or resign?-
quotes Mr.. Van Buren, in his purer
: days, &c, &C., and winds up with the
following paragraph
: "l'ut the fifth resolution OF our Legsla
ture, seems 10 arouse Col. Benton's especial
: indignation. That resolution pledges the
State Of Missouri (nol Col. Benton) TO stand
where she has always stood-aong side OF
her sister States with whom she has COM
mon interest and common Sympathy
Hinc lilac lachryme! The honorable Sen
aor has, fear determined to do battle on
the north side OF this question, and expects
, Missouri TO join him in his suicidal act
Let me assure the distinguished Senator
who for thirty years, has enjoyed the conf,
dence Of this State, that on this question she
vii! be true true 10 herself, true 10 the Con
, stiution, and true to the Union. Let me
further assure him that as ono Of her humb.
lest citizens shall also be found on the side
of my State and tho Col. Benton may be
able to sink Vhole bench of judges he
cannot divert me, from that path to which
am pointed, by principle, securing in my
estimation alike the honor and rights OF the
State; and the stability and perpetuity Of the
Union.
The Jud ges letter throughout is dig
nified and argumentative; and docs well
enough, in q general way, but it does
not refute the main charge against him,
that he is the author, or copyist of the
resolutions. He does not deny this,
while he admits he was opposed TO Gen
Jackson's proclamation agains, the nul.
flyers. 1t thus seems, that in the main,
Col. B. was right.
