Benton and the Germans

The .Anseiger, The leading German paper
in st. Louis, concludes lengthy article on
the subject of the Congressional race in the
first District as follows:
Treachery and secession have forced him ont of
the Senate, have outraged his grey hairs; il is the
duty of every Democrat TO make this good again;
and to prove that the people in Republic are not
rs unCraefu as the monarchs and potentates in the
Old World. The election of Senator took place
IN the Legislature, by small number; their IN
rigues and plots were possible. but the Represen-
tative is elected solely by the people, and on the
sound sense and honest hearts OF the people all the
hellish arts of lies and deception viii founder
Since BentOnS election lies in the hands Of the poo
pie. BeniOH'S success is certain.
And If, contrary to all expectation, he should
not be elected-if the split fosiercd by the Antics
should once more throw the victory into the hands
of the Whgs-then, il fall we must we deem it
more honorable TO fall with great man, like Ben
ton, than 10 add 10 the injuries of defeat, the stain
of an indignifV.
History looks back with admiration to the old
Roman legions, who, in the most fororn situation,
doomed to certain death, still did not falter, but
faithfully and firmly adhering TO their leader greet
ed him with the last shout ''Te morturi salutantP'
| Our time pays the highest homage 10 the old he
roic guards of Napoleon, who, when at Waterloo,
surrounded at all points, and summoned TO surren-
der, replied to General Harispe ''La garde menet
mas he Sc rend pas!"
And so, German fellow citizens, let us stand firm
aud faithfully to the old Standard faithful to the
old leader, without apprehension about the result
strong and courageous in the consciousness of a
good cause, and the performance of dnty-let us all
stand frnl--ward offevery attempt at division, and
mountain the old reputation, that The German citi-
sens arc good and steadtdSt Democrats and reliable
friends.
| The whole Union gazes at this time upon the
elective contest now beginning in Missouri-honoI
and thanks await the brave and faithful, shame and
| ignomny the coward and deserter.
German fellowrcitizens! let us inscribe on our
victorious standard
THOMAS H. BENTON,
Our Candidate for Congress.

Sayre, formerly of Lexington, KY, is OPEN

thousand acres of land, all laying in one
body, eight hundred of which are now in
cultivation. 1t has only been about two
years since the prairie pillow first commenced
work on the place-then vast, wild-look-

harvested the small patch of 400 acres of
wheat. This season he has 200 acres
sown in wheat, 100 in oats, 200 in timothy,

Candidates for the State Senate,

1t will be seen by reference TO the list
of candidates in this weeks paper, that the
Benton party and Antics have each a candi-
date in the field for the State Senate. Ger
tain Antics have been exceedingly busy in
trying to get Wing TO run, in order to eff
feet trade with Benton men, and coin votes
for Green. The Wings fully understand
their game, and it won't win. We can at
tend TO our own business, and as they have
now candidate of their own, a very wor-
thy gentleman, although we dislike his poll
tics, they should support him. The Benton
men will not support Green. The Wings

Antics can induce us to ieopardize the re-
election of Mr.. Miller Boonville Observ-

THE CALIFORNIA FUGITIvE SLAVE BILL.
The bill which has passed the California
Legislature, in relation to fugitive slaves,
provides for the surrender, to their original
masters, all colored people IN California
who were slaves before they were brought
into California, thus virtually repudiating
the doctrine that California was free terri
tory by virtue of its old Mexican law, and
that slaves could not be held there to SER
vice after the conquest. Mr.. Van Buren,,
member Of the Legislature, who figured in
New York at the last Presidential election,
as free-soiler, voted for it; while Mr..
Broderick, formerly New York Hunker,
bitterly opposed its passage. 1t is said there
are no slaves in California to which the bill
will be applicable.

Influence of Young Ladies.

Mr.. Cough, the distinguished Temper
ance Lecturer, illustrated the influence of
ladies in the cause of temperance, by the
by the following anecdotes, in his late fare
well lecture in Pittsburgh:
Young ladies', you have an influence TO ex-
ert, and it is mighty one, too. A meet
ing in the town OF Thomson, Connecticut,
where | had lectures, was just out, when Il
lady said to me, II wish you would get Joe
to sign the pledge. He stands out there by
the door," Now, didn't know Joe from
Jehoshaphat, but went out to the door and
| saw ragged fellow, who concluded must
be Joe; so went up TO him and offered him
my hand; said GLOW do you do Joe?"-
This was the identical man, and | talked
with him. found that he was entirely dis
couraged-that he had no hope. He thought
no one i'll the world cared for him; but when
| endeavored TO inspirt him, and told him
that those ladies had sent me to induce him
to sign the pledge; his eye frightened, and
consciousness OF this seemed 10 infuse hone
into him. ltook him up to the table, and
he took the pen and endeavored to sign the
pledge, but his hand trembled so that he
could not do it. | wrote his name and he
made ms mark; said |, "Joe, is this your
mark' He answered Yes, )" and the man
ner IN which he said it, showeda firm deter
mlnation to keep that pledge. Then those
ladies went up and shook hands with him;
every one of them did it. True, it was
little thing, but it showed him that there
were those who cared for Inn. A year af-
forwards, met Joe again. Blue coats with
brass buttons were in fashion then, and he
had one OF them on. Laughter He was
well dressed, and he had lady on his arm;
SAID |, Joe, | know by your looks that YOU
have stuck to the pledge" eyes," said he;
land that is not all; since then, the ladies
have all stuck to me!''

E57The Frankfort Commonwealth gives
the following particulars of the affray at
Georgetown, in which Mr.. Stevenson, was
killed:
Mr.. Edward Stevenson. son or Mr.. Evan Ste
venson, was killed at Georgetown on Wednesday,
by Capt. Carrick 1t appears that Stevenson had
made some publication in the Herald in relation to
Carrick's attention 10 a young lady, at which Mr..
c. took offence. This led to some hostile MESA
ges between them, and on Wednesday they met in
Georgetown. Both drew pistols at nearly the same
time. Stevenson fired first and his ball passed
through Carrick's hat. C. fired Immediately after
wards, shooting Stevenson through the heart He
fell dead instantly. He was Young married man,
and leaves wife and child. Both of the parties
were much esteemed by those who knew them.

ca Col BoGy, now the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the First District once said in the
Missouri Lcgisature-''Iha Democratic pnrty has
committed more sins than Old Occdn'S lrarcs can
rash awdy." Very true! We presume he is sent
TO Congress for his knowledge of Democratic
principIes' Truly, the candidates from the First
and Second Districts must be expected 10 make
fine lead horses in the Democratic team! The for
mer is always kicking in his traces, and the latter
cannot yet be clear as to the character of the load
he may be called on to draw Hannibal Jour
nal.
That is exceedingly "mild talk TO what
Judge Birch used to indulge in when he
was Wing. We shall Gull ont a few Of
the Judges best sayings some of these days
to show his fitness. At present we only
remark that one of his favorits quotations
was, ''when thieves fall out honest men get
their dues" We forbear comment, further
than to simply remark that the Wings Of
the first and fourth Districts may expect
success, if there be any truth in old adages.

ing compliment to our friend, P. C. Grace,
Esq:
PIERCE c. GRACE, EsQ.-We are pleas
ed to see the name OF Mr.. Grace upon the
Wing ticket in Missouri, for Secretary Of
State. Mr.. G. was educated in Kentucky,
Cat St. Mary's college,) and even while a
student, was looked upon as person ofrare
talents and more than ordinary promise. %,
The productions of his pen at that time
were Of marked merit, and since his resi-
dence in st. Louis, he has distinguished
himself in the walks of literature. His
Letter to O'Connell" was highly spoken of
some years since, and his novel of "The
Unknown" is perhaps, one Of the best
works of fiction that has appeared from the
West. As lawyer, we understand he &C.
cupies respectable position, and as stump
orator he has few superiors in Missouri.
