Spouse Of the democratic presshad come in
the: following is the relation they assumed
towards that distinguished Senator:

n Of those paper that sustained Col. Ben.
ton, that did not eulogise the resolutions Of
the Legislature when they were passed,

own words, cursed their owa work, and sung

their WI showing, had deserted tile great
principles and plain usages Of the demo-
cratic party which he himself had taught us.

and the sacred interest Of Missouri, the
whole South, and of the Union itself, may
be seen BY the following Classification, which
We believe is strictly CORE ct, at six months
Of canvassing by the public men, the press
