THE TIMES
y. S. SENATOR.

Tor. III can't nnd out what tne w nlgS
intend TO do-and so fraid is il that they
and the Benton.mcn may agree upon
successor TO Col. Benton, that il t"prom-
ises, threats and begs," in the same
breath.
The last number says:
The course of the Wings reminds us
of an anccdote: A white man and an
Indian went on a hunting excursion,
and killed turkey and a turkey-buz-
zard. When they were TO divide the
game, the white man said to his COM
panion, "You may take the turkey'buz-
zard and Ill take the turkey, or I'll take
the turkey and you may take the tur-
key buzzard." "Ah !" said the Indian,
'you no sag turkey to me once !" Just SO
with the Wings. The Democrats have
aided in killing the game, but when it
comes TO the division, they are not even
offered the red mans share. They
can help the Wings elect Watkins. or
Geyer, or Goode, or Clark, or any
other sound Wing; that would be con-
sistant, patriotic, praiseworlhy, and
marvellously proper, but the Wings ne
yer once intimate that they would vote
for Napton, or Scott, or Jackson, or
Morrow. or any other sound Democrat.
Is not this sol
Exactly. No! they never mention
it! A Wig who could, under any cir
cums,ances, vote for such democrat
as jackson. Morrow, &c. would cer-
tainly approximate great deal near
.'knave or fool" than we had supposed
members of that party generally do
We can readily understand why demo-
Gratis will vote for "such sound Whig'
as Ciark--but if, in promising TO vote
for Geyer or Watkins, they think they
are going TO vote for a similar Whig
God save the markD they are ust as
much mistaken as they possibly can
be-
1t continues
As we have said heretofore, the Dem
ocrats are ready and willing to do any
thing that is fair, honorable ant
Just. Wi! the Wbigs say as much!-
We intend to press the question until
) we understood what the Wings will do
, or until the public become convinced
of their determination TO remain silent
The Democrats will never vote for Mr.
Benton. That may be set down as
fixed fact; nor will they vote for Ben
, ton man, Free soiler, or an AboI:tlonis
-Whig or Democrat. And befor
: |. they ever pledge themselves even I
+ the support of sound Wing, th
o Wings must meet them on equal, honor
J. able, and fair grounds. If the Wing
Is will OF, under any circumstances, vo'
p for Democrat, with what face ca
r thew expect Democrat, undor any ci
u cumstances, to vote for a Wing! Al
DIS swer US that!
How bothered the poor thing is! 1t
= really refreshing to hear it, while yet i
= boring under the sting of the Benton las
promising 10 do anything that is homo
It. able and jua 1t will be strange wor
We for III "Will the wings say as much
c. Certainly; But don't you say it t'
til ,hcm--don't ask them to vote for JacI
lie son or Morrow for United States Scr
IT. a,or, and because they decline, chari
er them with a want of fairness.
3h- If the wings are to meet the a
nd al ties on honorable, fair grounds" I
int Antics will certainly have to take up
/, ne,o position, for we have never know
de- them to occupy any such grounds 1

In the same number, we find
following
