Aaron's rod swallowed up tho little
coIjurers' rods in Egypt. The anti.
Ben,on's who voted the whig ticket are

The democratic members Of ,he Gen.
eral Assembly were right in their de-

dissolved. The leaders have gone
openly TO the wings: the misled will re.
turn to the party: those who keep up
that organization will DO it us the al.

tectual means Of helping their friends.
Between allies and principles there is
no difference. They make but one
army in war. and but one party in
politics. Henceforth there will be but
two parties in Mssouri-the whig and
the democratic; and between them will
the future elections lie.
The lreachery and dcseriion Of the
anti Benton leaders was both premedi
tated and corrupt. They acted upon
settled plan, and for lucre. This
was shown by their own conduct, and
has been fully proved by the demo.
cratic members in their authentic ad.
dress. The State, was sold for bank
Offices! and SO fearful were the sellers
of losing their spoil that they refused
TO separate the election of Senator
from that of bank officers! refused TO
leave it open for the people! refused TO
do anything which would prevent them
from fulfilling their contract with the
wings! and iaIsified their own select
and peculiar test in voting for:the par~
ticular whig they did! He cares
