II We publish on the first side of TIM
paper the dignifed and manly reply of Sen
|ator Aichison to the assaults of Col. Ben
ton, made through the Boonville Democrat
We have no room for extended comment
nor need we make them if we had. The
language Of Atchison will explain Itself
A beautiful field is presented, however, in
contrasting the language of the Senator.
Of Missouri-we said Senators Of Missouri
hut Missouri has but one. Senator. No one
with ordinary understanding can read Atch.
ison's reply and Bsnton's assault, or hear
their speeches, without knOsOing that Atchi.
sons heart beats in sympathy with the State
that supports him, while Benton's is con
|geoked TO the North. .,. &
We hope that every democrat and wing
will read Atchison's address, and ponder
upon its truths; for no one can do it, end
doubt the sincerity Of the writer, or dis
prove his stubborn facts.

thing, but the advancement nf Whiggpry in
our section. Whenever he becomes too OBJ

we shall certainly get after him "with a
sharp stick"
Il We cheerfully copy from the Hanni-
bal Courier the reply of "Citizrn" to the

Office at Palmyra. We think that "Citizpn''
is in error ss to the hcoe Of JUSTICE We
can guess his name and occupation the very
first gness, even when he petigogutd and
petifogged in Marion county, as he now
does in a city not one hundred miles from
this plsce. We told : Jasiice' when we first
