In persuance to previous notice, the demo
Gratis of Benton, and its vicinity met at Benton,
where the meeting was organized, with Hon. e.
c. Wilkinson in the chair and B. r. Holmes ac-
ting Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explained by

a committee Of five was appointed to draft res
olutions expressive of its sense, was put and
carried. DR.. w. G. Gadbury, Messrs. S. Collins,

honor he has maintained on many bloody field
and one whose democratic faith, is as certain anG
as fixed, as we conceive our principles to bt
pure.
RESOLVED, That in Hon. VIM. R. King, We
recognize gentleman, and scholar, a man who

Pierce and EXing--AITs WeII.
July II, 1852.

The Democracy every where is united and en-
thusiastc. In marked contrast to the position
of the whig camp, we have not yet seen one
democratic paper in the whole Union which
does not strenuously re-echo the cry of Pierce
King, the Constitution, Union and Victory
We subjoin few items:
From the Ne,c York National Democrat
FAVORABLE SIGNS IN THIS SrATE.-A gentle
man, whose business requires that he should
travel over the greater portion of this State eve
ry spring and fall, and who is familiar with ev-
cry part of it, and knows most of the leading
politicians has just returned to this city, after
having visited every section Of the State. He
assures us that if we will get up an unobjection-
al State ticket we will carry the State by thirty
thousand. The gentleman to whom we allude
has never voted the democratic ticket, and has
made up his mind not to vote at all in the ap-
preaching election. He desires us to state that
he will risk from one to five thousand dollars
that this State will elect the Pierce and King
electoral ticket, and from one to five thousand
dollars that Frank Pierce, if he lives. will be
the next President of the United States. His
name and whereabouts will be given to any one
who desires to accept his propositions.
From the same.
FIRST VOICE FOR PIERCE AND KING.-At a
meeting of passengers on board the steamboat
Buffalo, on her trip to the fishing banks, on
Monday, June 28th, it was resolved, that vote
be taken on the two candidates for the Presiden-
cy. Tellers were appointed, and the result was
for Pierce and King, 80, Scott and Graham 49,
This result is correct.
J.W. HANCOX, Master.
STRAws.-At Scott party at one of our pri-
vate houses in this village, on Tuesday evening,
a vote was taken which resulted as follows -
Gen. Franklin Pearce Is, Gen. Scott 4.-Lock-
port Democrat.
From the Memphis Glenn. Appeal.
Our friend Gen. Edwin Polk, of Hardeman,
was in our city yesterday, on his return from
Baltimore, as delegate to the Convention. He
attended the large and enthusiastic Ratification
Meetings of the Democracy, at Philadelphia,
New York and Buffalo, and gives most cheering
accounts of the hearty and enthusiastic recep-
tion with which the nominations were hailed by
the immense masses in attendance, as well as of
the general satisfaction exhibited throughout the
whole country with the democratic candidates.
Gen. Polk like every other person who has had
an opportunity of witnessing these demonstra-
tions of popular enthusiasm is confident that
Pierce and King will sweep the country with a
unanimity seldom paralleled in past campaigns.
From his known skill and gallantry as politi-
cal debater. we expect to near of Gen. Polk do
ing good service in this glorious contest We
wore Glad tn see him looking so well nrenared
for the political tourment.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-07-21

| The Mum CANDIDATE.-Up to the time of the
convention, not syllable could be extorted
from Scott on the only point upon which his
views were of any interest. He has not vet
said plainly that he approves the eighth resolu-
ton of the wing platform. The silence of a
man always remarkable for his conceit and To-
quacity all understood. He wood have taken
either side in an instant, if he had only known
which would win; but that was the puzzle
He finally concluded, or his managers for him, to
wait for the result-see where the stlenght was,
and then he could choose his opinions with safe
ty. Scott himself, personally, could have, any
day, given opinions. Shallow as they are, he
always has plenty of them on hand, and a few
more of any sort, on and side of question,
would not hurt him but the presidency, the
object of lifetime's eager hopes, was to be lost
or won, as he supposed, by striking on the right
side, so prudence was the better part of valor
In the meantime. Scotts opinions are scatter
ed out broadcast on matters and things in gen
eral. Some of them would be troublesome to
man who was expected to have opinions of his
9r.n; bur theysare not much in the way Of Scott.
lie can shift them off and adopt new ones; and
i 8hey concerned subject of any abstruseness,
he would never find out himself that he had
changed. Besides, the more absurd and ridicu-
lous his position, the better. The rag-tag and
bobtail race the wings contemplate could not be
run by man of any strength and steadiness Of
convictions. The less consistent the hero of
hnmbug is, the better. 1t was all the better for
Gen. Taylor that he knew nothing about poll
tics, that he had never voted, that he was not an
ultra whig, &c.
Scott is not like him, but it will do as well
perhaps to have great many absurd and contra
dictory opinions; the one is about as ridiculous
as the other.
When we mention Scott's natiyeism, when
he was fired with indignation, the reply is, that
great many wings at that time held similar
views.
When we mention his endorsement of the
bankrupt law and other doings of that unfortu-
nate extra session, why, great many wings
thought then as he did.
His opposition to the veto power is well
enough as about that time other wings were as
much opposed to the q one-man power" as Gen
Scott.
In one thing he has been uniform all his life
He has in all circumstances been for Winfield
Scott, or Winfield Scott. whichever his name is
against the world.-Lou Dem.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-07-21
The Effect Of Gen. SCOTS NOInima-
ton.

Does any man, with the proceedings Of the
late Wing Convention before him, doubt that
the nomination of Gen. Scott is the triumph OF
the ultra frecsoil wing of the Northern Wing
party? If so. let him read the extract below
from the New York Courier and Enquirer, well
known as one of the ablest Wing papers in the
Union. Does any man doubt the injurious ef-
feet upon Southern interests Of the ratification OF
SCOTS nomination by Southern delegates, after
he had received bare sectional majority? If so,
let him ponder well over the burning words of
the Courier and Enquirer. The trath is, the
Wings in the North who were disposed to ac-
cord anything like justice to the South were hui
initiated and crest fallen when they saw her own
sons desert them and go over to the camp Of the
enemy. The Courier and Enquirer shows how
they will reward this base ingratitude:
[MississipPian
"To the South we must cnphatically point
the finger of scorn, and deliberately pronounce
them traitors; we have for years fought with
them side by side TO support their institutions
and confirm the Union, and now, IN the hour 0t
trial, they hare, .JudaS-like, betrayed as theg
hare roiuntdrily sold their bifth-right, through
their brOkerS-Mangum, Stanley, Bolts & Co
and gone orer to their enemies, ri2 Sslcard q
Co.; they have thrown overheard the authors o
the Compromise, the defenders of the Union, and
winding around them the serpent coil of North
ern fanaticisn, they have formed the vilest Goa
lition that has ever seen the light; they have
taken to their bosoms a viper who, when he has
lulled them to sleep, will sting them to death
Well then, let them catch their olgH fUgitires
If they need any help, refer them to Serard he Il
their acknowledged We can do no more
bat we can have another candidate"

Mr.. CALHOUN AND Mr. CLAY.--The opinions
of these illustrious individuals are doubly dear
to the American people, now that they have
passed from the scene of their usefulness and
fame. The following paragraphs, therefore, will
be read with interest and received with respect
by every patriotic American:
Mr.. CALHoUN's OPINION OF GEN PIERcE--
John c. Calhoun was a man whose judgment of
character was of the highest order, and whose
opinion was justly regarded by the American
people of the greatest importance. Judge
Douglas says that, in conversation which he
had with Mr.. Calhoun, some three years since,
Mr.. Calhoun remarked that & he looked upon
Frank Pierce, as one of the most reliable men,
as statesman and patriot, that the country had
produced"
HENRY CLAWS OPINION OF GEN. PIERcE.-Hear
the words of the dying statesman which we COM
mend to the consideration of every true whig in
the country. Mr. Clay's long and intimate
knowledge of Gen. Pierce, renders his opinion
the more valuable: Mr.. Clay was greatly cha
grined when he heard of the defeat of Gen. Cass,
but pronounced franklin Pierce a very good
man, who, he felt assured, would administer the
government in proper manner, should he be
elected by the people. The opinions of Mr.. Clay
are no longer those of politician or partisan,
but those of far-sighted and patriotic statesman

MK CLAY's FUNERAL.-The funeral of Mr. Clay
was conducted in manner appropriate and
impressive. It needed-no afiectation of grief
no pompous ceremonial to betoken truly the
deep feeling existing in the public mind-The
ceremonies in the Capitol were, however, Of an
imposing character.
The scene in the Senate Chamber was pecu-
liarly solemen and affecting, and every one in
that distinguished throng seemed to feel the force
of that exclamation, which the Reverend Chap
lain took as the text of his appropriate address
" Ho,O IS the stqf broken ?" More deep was the
sensation when the lid was raised from the cof-
in, and the Senators gathered around to look
once more, and for the last time, upon him who
