From the Boonyille Observer
Democratic Evidence against James s.
Green anti-Benton candidate.

NlOSll duJI-OSltOu SuAlNANSsOO'
Week before last we published an article
from the Paris Mercury, signed Benton
Democrat, certain portions of which MIR.
Green denounced as '.falSc" in his speech
in this place. On other occasions he de-
clarcd that no Benton Democrat wrote it, |
and that the allusNn, in the sequel, TO Gen.
Price was a ruse TO conceal its real author
ship. The following communication from
Mr. Basset Runklc, q Benton Democrat and
the author Of the article, fully explains
Green's tricks on the other side Of the wa
ter. His published charges against Green
arc substantiatcd by six witnesses, Demo-
Gratis as well as Wings, with the attest OF
the Circuit Clerk 10 the authenticity and
character OF their evidence. He did call on
State Right Wings on the north side Of the
river TO support him in preference to Jno.
| G. Miller" and every anti-shcct IN that d.
rection is making similar appeal. Green
denied the statement of Benton Democrat,
little thinking that it would be proved on
him. WHY does he not ask State Right
Wings to support him here? Because he
is on the South side Of the Missouri, and
wants Benton votes TO kill off Benton. He
does not want TO be recognized; but he Will
have to stand eXposurc-many demagogue
as slippery as this pet Of the Fayette clique,
the Missouri Fiuibusters. has been COM
ncllcd TO submit TO like modification. A
BENTON Democrat has exposed his hypocri-
s,, and LOFT every Benton man read the en-
posture and view this celebrated Fillibuster
as he is. His love for the Jackson resolu-
tions is . virtue when he meets stray State
Riobt WHO north Of lis. but here he cringes
and begs if a Benton man says aught TO him
about them.
