COL. BENTON-THEF FREE DEMOCRAT
AND TELEGRAPH

The Free Democrat and Southport Telegraph
are down on Col. Benton because he is not an
AboltlOnlSt. This, in our vicw is about on a
par with Garrison's view of political progress.
1t is painful to witness the bigoted shortsighted-
ness of those whom we have made our leaders
in the political path.
We are an abolitionist, this we want particu-
larly understood. But for the success of free
soil principles, the assistance of those midway
between Conservatism and Radicalism, is very
desirable. Col. Benton is such We don't want
to make a President till 1852. What time NAV
bring forth we don't know. But to-day We
would vote for Benton with a hearty good will
We neither like nor sympathse with the Free
Democrat nor Telegraph on this Oshkosh
True Dem.
We do not object to Col. Benton from the
cause above mentioned, nor from any cause
We think, as a stakeholder and citizen of a
Southern state, he IS entitled to great deal OF
credit; but when it comes to making him the can.
didate of any party for the Presidency, he is to
be considered not with reference to his location
but as to his position on the principles of that
party. The enactment of the Wilmot Proviso
as we understand it, is cardinal feature of the
principles OF the Free Democracy; and yet Ben
ton is in doUbl leheibcr he couH rote for IT, 1t NAV
be bgoted shortsghtcdness on our part that leads
us to the opinion that such manis not the man to
entrus that principle with; but it is our opinion
nevertheless. II we are of necessity confined
to the South and to Shareholders in our choice OF
a candidate, then Benton is the man; but we see
no more reason for now taking man who does
not represent us, than we did at the last Presi-
dental campaign, when we opposed Cass.
We do not expect ultra radicalism TO be rep
resented in a candidate now or at any time, and
acknowledge the Importance of the assistance OF
those who stand midway between radicalism and
Conservatism, but we can see no possible benefit
to arise to any principle by the support of man
who IS in doubt whether he will vote for it, But
we do not know what time may bring forth To
daywo could not vote for Col Benton. Four years
hence matters may be changed; and it is only
of the present that we speak.
The Wisconsin Democrat thinks if all the
Press of the State would manifest the feeling of
the True Democrat, there would be no trouble in
eifecting union. We trust that zee may never
meet the commentator of that sheet for our 20
sition on the Free Territory question: position,
which an open and avowed advocate of the Mich

SALEM pOSr OFEICE-

A citizen of the town of Salem informs us that
the inhabitants of the town have almost unanl-
mously petitoned for the restoration of the Office
to its old place and old hands.
The American stated week or two since,
that it was Mr. Bassett who was removed to
make way for the present incumbent; that Mr..
Bassett got the Office by connivance with his pre-
decessor, Mr. Hodge, and that he was incapable
of performing the duties, etc. etc. 1t was Mr..
Burgess and not Basseu, who was removed; he
did not get the office by connivance with his pre-
decessor, but by vote of the people of the town
on a request of the appointing department, that
they would choose successor to Mr.. Hodge, who
had signifed his intention TO resign; and as to
his capability, none who know him would ques-
ton it, The Democratic Administration asked
the people to select their officer; the Wing adj
ministraon unceremonously tramples under
foot the expressed will of the people, and as if to
make them feel fully their abect condition, made
an appointment, which, involving as it did, q
change in the location of the Office could not get
ten votes in its favor
If all1his has been done by the department in
ignorance of the facts of the case, the petition Of
the people may have the effect to remedy the
wrong; but if, as we suspect, it has been done
from mere love of prescription, the voice of the
people will be without effect. We shall see,

IL Ithas been customary for the Wing Press,
annually, as the fall elections approach, to make
up list Of specifications against the Loco Foco
party, charging them with all the sins of omis-
sion and commission which have been committed
in the Territory and State since its existence.
The Madison Express has started the ba,oi this
season, and doubtless it will be echoed and re-
echoed by the press of that party, until the fall
elections close. Our impression is, the Express
will make but little for its party and gain but lit
