should be obeyed. Col. Benton stands before the
next Legislature for reelection or defeat; and If
it be the wish of the people that he should be
defeated, then no Benton man should complain at
the will of the majority. If they decree hat he
is worthy of longer support. let their will be
done, 'though the heavens fall" Our cores
pondent advises that parallel columns be opened
in the poll hooks, headed "Benton and Anti
Benton" That the party unite and select two
candidates, pledged to carry out the instructions
of the majority, as ascertained by a count Of the
vote. No angry feeling need then be engender-
ed. The party eau unite upon other questions,
with full confidence that the voice Of the ma
jority will be heard upon this. No Democrat
can ask more. Knowing our correspondent, as
a firm and reliable Democrat, ever foremost in
the brunt Of the battle and acting for the success
of principles alone. upon every occasion. we
cheerfully give place to Ills communication, and
recommend it to the attentive perusal Of every
reader. Our friends throughout the county will
submit their views, and we shall gladly publish
them. The question is TO be met, and why not
march up 10 it boldly and fearlessly.

SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
THE CONVENTION.


The "Hannibal Courier" Of the l4th inst.
speaking Of the subject of a District Con-
~vention for the nomination Of a candid ate to
Congress. and the most appropriate time
and place for holding the same, recommends
St. Charles as the best place, and the Sd OF
4th Monday Of April as the most proper
time. The last Convention was held al
Herman, on the southern side Of the river,
and we presume there will be but little Oh
lection to holding the next at St. Charles
The 81 Monday Of April will be late enough,
as a later day might produce interference
with the business Of the farming communi.
|ty, which will doubtlessly compose a large
majority Of the delegation. Several of the
counties have already called meetings, and
it is necessary that there should be some I'm.
derstanding on the subject.
We therefore propose St. Charles as the
most appropriate place, asd the Sd Monday
Of April as the best time for holding the
Convention. If a more convenient time OF
place can be thought Of BY our friends, we
shall be glad TO hear their suggestions.

DEMOCRATIC TOWNSHIP MEETINGS

In accordance with The usages of the party, the
Democrats of the county will meet in the several
Townships on SATURDAY the 23d of March,
for the purpose Of appointing delegates from each
Township 10 meet in County Convention at Bow
ling Green on the 9Th of April, for the nomination
Of suitable persons to be run as candidates for the
different offices at the August election. Let every
Democrat be present at the Township meetings.
The 23d OF March was recommended as the most
suitable time, to prevent any interference with
business at a later period of the Spring. The com
ing election is an important one to the Democratic
party, and in order to ensure success, nothing is re-
qpired but zeal and determination. One and ell

being seven feet six inches high by five feet six inches
wide. 1t is the most substantial and most complete
thing OF the kind saw; and understand that
Messrs. Bowen & McNamee gave Mr. Gaylor the pre-
ference although his estimate was higher than any 9TH
ers. 1t has four DOORS with lock upon EACH with the
usual bookcase and six drawers, each containing four
compartments, marked with letter of the alphabet
Each OF these compartments is large enough for letter
folded, when tied up in bundle for reference and
the lid raised by the touch OF aspiring. This arrange
ment supersedes teing up and labelling letters, and by
ITS alphabetical arrangement affords the best facilities
Tor reference to any letter with the least trouble.
!" 1t is most ingenious conrivance, and no doubt
will be generally adopted. The safe weighs five tons,
and is the largest Salanander safe made.
