COL BENTON Ar FAYETrE.

COL BENTON AT FAIEI h.
Col. Benton passed down the river
lest waek, on his return from the
Platte Purchase. Public and private in.
formation seems TO indicate that he was
much more cordially supported up there
than he is down here.
Immediately upon his arrival al
Boonville, he issued notices that he
would address "the people at Fayeile,
on Saturday, September LIST, at l 9.
clock" When he was here, he declined
going TO Fayote, on the ground that
he had not been invited; and as the
clique determined not TO invite him.
they hoped TO be spared the infection
Of castigation under their own vine
and zig trees" but old Bullion returns
from the Platte so well pleased with his
success, that he valves the etiquette of
an invitation, and is determined 10 call
on his old bosom friends, sans ceremonie.
We imagine these old bosom friends
will not be quite so troublesome with
their little attentions as formerly--bu,
we understand old Bullion, by way Of
making up for their GOODNESS, is deter.
mined to Fay his respects 10 them in the
warmest manner.
We observe Mr.. Jackson is gazetted
to speak in Platte city on Monday
This is to be regretted, as Col. Benton
will doubtless make some new rcvela
tons, in which he will be particularly
interested. Should he, however, "leave
others to hear and report" we would
suggest that he deputize Col. CLAUDE
JONES, who informed us few day:
since, that he would be there.
We will remark in this connection
at the request of one of Col. Benton''
friends, that it is extremely doubtful
whether he will be able to be in Hunts
vile or not and such in that county as
may desire TO hear him, would do wei
TO be at Faye,ie.

Ia Fe to the 18th July. Business is
