] Mn. BEYToS's SrEIcH.-There is So
smUch enquiry for the speech recently de.
Z lyercd By Col. Benton at Jefferson City
s.that we have measured its length severa
! ,mes in a vain attempt to demonstrate the
fpracticability OF its insertion, at full length
|, in our columns. We have, as last resort
.determined to give parts of il, giving syn.
sopSiS of the parts omitted, in which way the
Broader will be enabled TO get a, least the
scrcam of it, with tolerablr conception Of
4 the magnihcence Of the whole.
= We are anxious 10 see this speech widely
fcirculatcd, as il contains the platform upon
(which the democratic party, at least Of tn,
/ free states, will stand at the next preSiden
Stai election, so Ear as the subject % SLAYER,
is concerned. Whoever insists upcn NOR,
Cor less than this, may make up his mind {,
act with some other party. Aud, although
~ is looking some distance ahead, We hav,
Emo earthly doubt but that Col. Benton, If h,
lives, will be the man upon whom the dem
Iocra.ic party will be united in 1852. Il
Tthis part of the country there is already NJ
senthusia>m in his favor which is entirel,
Equal to that which pervaded the masses il
favor of Gen, Jackson previous to his frs
s,lec,irn. Were the election mex, Novem
Cher, and Gel. II. the candidate, we vcril,
.lheleve there would be no tickle, nominated
Fagainst him in this state.
