Benton and sthe True Democratic Press

Benton and 'the True Democratic Press.''
Although the Union has not yet given the sig
nal that the time has come when s'the true Demo-
proper names, the Enquirer of yesterday, breaks
forth upon 'Thos. H. Benton" consigns his star
to 'the Nadir," denounces him as "another Ar
mold, and derides his letters 'tratorous and
disgusting" In proof of all this, the Enquirer
adduces, first, letter written by Benton on the
Sth of March, in which he declared exterminating
war upon the "Calhounites," and proclaimed that
the election of Wings would be a triumph over
them,' and then correspondence between the
same Senator and Mr.. Alexander Walker, former.
ly editor Of the New Orleans Delta 1t appears
that Walker entered into an arrangement to be-
come one OF the editors of the st. Louis Times.
new Democratic paper In letter from New
Orleans to Benton, dated March 10Th, Walker re-
fers to report that the Times would be an anti
Benton paper, and says there is no truth in the
statement. He states also that he assented to the
arrangements upon express condition that the pa
Der should not NEEDLE with the Benton contro-
versy, and also that the ST. Louis Uuion should
first be bought out; and he assures Benton that.
although he may differ with him on points not
cardinal, there is nothing at present in his course
which would Justify him (WaIker) in Withholding
his support and respect. Benton replies, March
30th, telling Walker roundly, that he cannot ap-
prove the plan of his paper, and that it must take
ground openly against the Calhounites or have no
countenance of his. The Times itself has ap-
peared and is an active anti-Benton organ. One
OF the editors, Mr.. Mcfarland, takes issue with
Mr.. Walkers assurances as to the terms on which
he agreed to take charge of the paper and states
that he was distinctly informed that it would op-
pose Col. Benton. Mr.. NJ. further denies that
there was any condition to buy up the ST. Louis
Unlon and even quotes from letter of Walkers
commenting the articles of the Times The case
certainly has a bad look on Mr.. Walkers side AS
10 Mr. Benton, we unite with the Enquirer in the
hope that his days of notorietyat Washington are
rapidly drawing to close. But we think the best
remedy Missouri could resort to, would be the
election of Wing Senator in his place.

MISSOURI.

We are glad to learn from the st. Louis Repub-
ican, that the Wing party of Missouri is organi-
zlng itself in earnest, for the approaching Con-
gressional and other elections The Republican
says:
awe have information from almost every coun-
ty and neighborhood Of the State and we are graf
flied at the position which the Wings have as
| sumed. They are looking straightforward with
hope and abiding confidence, and with the assu-
rance that on election day they will be able to vote
so as to make it tell in effecting the political re-
generation of the Stale. They are up and doing.
There are no such distinctions among them as are
| made in the ranks of our opponents-there are no
"Scamps," nor are there any "Barnburners, to
excite unkind and bitter feelings towards each
other. But they are looking forward, trustfully,
to the time when they shall be able to elect men
after their own heart, and thus to redeem the State
from the misrule and the lethargy into which it
has been plunged by Locofocoism."
In the 9Th Congressional District Mr.. Bowman
Wing, is already in the field. His opponents are
| likely to be, Mr.. W. P. Hall, the incumbent MEM
| Der, an Ant-Bentonite and Mr.. Gardenhire, who
will probably be the Benton candidate. In the Sd
district, Mr. sJohn G. Miller is strongly recon-
mended as the Wing candidate. Mr.. Green, the
present member, will doubtless seek a reelection
