B Mr.. Green: Since the war has commenced
between Col. Benton end portion Of bis
former friends, both factions Of the late dem
ocratic party have endeavored to enlist the
Wings. The disunonisls FIRST called meet,
ings without distinction Of party, in several
counties, in due time Col. Benton appeals TO
the whole people, and defines his meaning
by admitting that the Wings after ell are
people. The question which presents itself
for consideration to the Wing party Of Mis-.
souri,, 10 those who have for long years bat,
tied against fearful odds and at great socri'
fees on the part OF our leading mon; Shall
we unite with one OF the factions. and thus
give up our principles, for which we have
so long and earnestly commended, or shall we
stand aside and let our distracted opponents
settle their own difficulties in their own way.
The Wings will all remember the contest Of
1914. They wero then very DESTROYS 10
defeat Col. Benton's re election; then as
now, a faction in the Democratic party
sprung up in opposition to his election. The
Wings relying on their sincerity. permitted
the softs TO nominate full tic ket, and sofa
they were. They gave thet ticket their full
support in good faith; sustained the buTthen
OF heated canvass, and the result was that
these patriots, alias sofs, in The last hour de-.
serted their own ticket, pretending they had
misunderstood Col. B., and that slight s1-
psnation from him a, Boonville had placed
every thing right. The result was, that
many OF these men who aided in getting up
this soft movement, gave in their adhesion 70
Col. B. and as is generally,the case with those
whose fidelity is doubted, were much more
savage against the Wings than the old hsrds
themselves Those who have taken no part
in the fight, are frequently willing after the
victory is obtained to scalp the prisoners.
This was our gain then. Shall we again
place our party in position to receive the
same treatment in 1850? The writer says
no. Let US stand upon our principles and
for such friends as we know will carry them
out, and If either Of these factions choose.
let them Cross our wall and ditch; the ditch
is deep end the wall high. bu. for their on.
couragement | can inform them, that several
Of their friends have got safely over.
What will the country gain by sustaining
either wing OF the party; it mus, be evident
to every Wing, that this is the time for our
party TO effect good; the State has long been
governed by the demagogues Of the so called
democratic party. Now they have seriously
gone TO work to destroy one another. ls.
them fight. every blow they strike, will I'D.
vance the interests Of the country. Then
as has been said by one OF Col. Benton's
opponents. "lel old Bullion quail" and lie.
the disunions,s else quail.

nTThe Washington corresponden

TThe Washington correspondent,
of the Baltimore Sun--"lon"-takes
the following view of Gen. Foote'S
letter, reviewing Col. Benton's course
on the slavery question:
The letter assumes that Mr.. Benton is
in the field as candidate for the Pres.
idency, on the free soil ground, and
gives reasons, at length, in justification
Of the opinion, that Mr.. Benton canno,
be elected TO the Presidency in 1852.
Thus the contest for the next Presi.
dency has already commenced. / look.
ed upon Mr.. Benton's speech in the
same poin. of view as l did General
Cass' Nicholson letter. The letter of
Gen. Cass was bid from the North for
Southern support; and the former bid
from The slaveholding region for free
soil support.
There is TO be another Southern bid
lone from the extreme South-from
Texas, for Northern free soil democrat.
ic support for the Presidency in 1852
Gen. Houston led the van in the assault,
on Mr.. Ca!houn's position, and refused
TO give his signature or countenance
TO the Southern address. He will prob.
ably consider himself as coming within
the implication of the manifestoes OF
MIR. Benton and Gen. Fooie; and good
opportunity will thus DO afforded to
him to put his views prominently be.

Mr.. Calhoun will. it is expected, re-
ply TO Mr.. Benton. sustaining his own
position and that ofSouthern members

who signed il may also become invoi.

tyr" in the removal of Thomas Nelson
the Collector at Richmond, Va. The
