s,.p A very large majority OF the Democracy
Of Missouri, stand in bitter opposition 10 MIN
and his only possible chance is from The support
of,be Whig party. Some Ct the Whig papers
Of Missouri advise their friends 10 occupy nea-

on Benton ard defeat The Democracy. IL may

If successlul. we repeat, mus! owe II 10 the

For The information OF the Wing, We q'ote Inc
fo,ow;pa article from The Springfield Mass.I
Republican Wing paper and supporter Of
Den. TayIor's administration. l! shows that
Col. Benton has The sympathy OF Northern
Wings:
1.-THE stronge.. and most bitter opposition,
eht 10 bear upon Whis candidates, now fun>
ming ior Congress in The South, Is upon theii di-
i.dssd free solism. The Hon Aylelt bucknef
otKen,ncxy. who made an able speech IN Inc
la,e House OF Representatives, IN whien nc
mainIained tha, slavery Oagh not 10 De e1tenaeu
10 California, is now opposed BY Caidweii' igeo,
on the single question OF slavery extensioh' 1ae
locofoco parry OF his district are rejoicing 10 Inc
prospect of Buckner's defeat, ard give as Iea,
son, that his speeches. are 100 strongly tainted
with tree soilism.
Every reading democrat knows 'his 70 oe llu ,
Col. Benton may lose many votes from ms own
pauy. by his adherence 10 his peculiar opinions
but he will doubtless gain Us many from Inc
wings. Edward Stanley of North Caroiina, oal-
tle. with a doubtful issue 5efore him 10 conse
uuence Ct a lucotoco pro slavery oPPosl'ion.-
Armphry Marshall and other Kentucky wings
are opposed because they are no, iho!oushly IN
bued with the pro-savery spirit, aud Senators
CLAY and Underwood are 10 be loaded WIN 10
.ruc,ions, il a Democratic majority by any | o.
sible means find themselves 10 the next STATE
Legislature of Kentucky. Both these Senators
have taken ground in favor OF Emancipation IN
that Safe.
at is useless &c deny that The democratic parry
South, is thoroughly Unidentified with slave in'et-
es,s, in opposition 10 lie more liberal rolicy o.
the whigs. Il is useless to deny that The whe
party OF III, South are getting TO be more any
more identified with the free soil movement ano
we believe The time is mol many years ois,aa'
Two eIeal SUuthern parties.
