MEssRs. EDITOR: am gratifed to say to
you that Messrs. Jackson g. Lindley have
passed through our county OH their election
eering tour, and Mr.. Lindley's prospects
for getting majority of the votes OF this
county, are very flattering.
The Wings and Democrats are very near
equal in number here, but of those belong
ing to the democratic party, very large
majority are Benton men, all of whom Mr..
Lindley will get.
As we have no candidate, Mr.. jackson
cannot gull the people here with his JEFF
forson City PLATFORM, since his course in the
Legislature last winter, and we don't intend
to support him here, but will support a
Wing first.
We hope he may have to go to preaching
along with, as good company should
not be separated. Please insert this in your
paper. Yours, in haste,
T. G. SrANsBERRY,
Benton Democrat.

Burning a Negro for Murder,

The negro man belonging to II. France,
Of Heaths' Creek, Pettis Co., who murdered
the wife of John Rains, living in the same
neighborhood, WaS burned at the stake in
or near Georgetown on Wednesday last.
The circumstances attending this murder,
so far as we can learn, were as follows:
The negro man, aged about 10 or 20,
visited Mr.. Rains house on Sunday morn
ing the Sd of Jnly, while Rains was absent
at meeting, for the diabolieal purpose-ac-
cording to his confession, of committing a
rape upon the person of Mrs. Rains. The
consequence was that this lady, within a
few weeks of a confinement, was brutally
murdered with club-the negro attempted
to kill her oldest boy, and fancied he had
killed him, fearing as he said that he would
tell on him-and two younger children were
sadly bruised and thrown IN fence corner,
because, as the negro said, that they annoyed
him "by crying about their mother"
When Rains returned home, he found his
wife dead, and his oldest boy so badly
bruised that it was thought he could not
recover; but he distinctly told his father
who it was had committed the outrage. The
demon, in human shape, was immediately
apprehended for trial, but the citizens took
possession of him to burn him immediately.
and delayed the execution only to ascertain
the motives of such villanous outrage.
The negro at first said, as we understand
that it was not him who committed the
murder bat his brother, and next admitting
his guilt, said he was instigated to the act
by his young master. His young master
was Immediately taken into custody, but was
released, because the negro excul pated him
of the charge, admitting that it grew out of
his intention TO commit rape.
The only excuse which can be offered for
tie awful retribution of burning this negro,
is the nature Of the offence, and the frequent
attempts OF late years, of negroes TO rape
white women - several instances which
have occurred in this county-and the i'm
preston among the community that it re-
CURED such an example to protect them
from the repetition of similar outrages.-
The negro's crime was horrid indeed: but
his punishment will be regarded by many,
as cruel, if not barbarous.
Had it been white man. instead of n
negro, there is no doubt but what he would
have shared a similar fate.-T Boonyille
Observer.

Pacific Railroad Bonds.

We find the following paragraph in the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, of the 18th
The Pacific Railroad Company has with
drawn its bonds, proposals for which were
opened yesterday, the offers not being salts
factory to the officers of the Company.
The Sunday Republican, in publishing
the foregoing, says;
The officers of the Company, we have nc
doubt, exercised salutary discretion in the
premises. If the bids were not satisiaoto-
ry. it was good reason for rejecting them.
Our railroads can get along pretty well
without assistance bought at too high price,
and opportunities will hereafter occur, when
capitalists will be glad to get them on fair
terms.

The Mean Trick-Nn Denial.

Our readers will recollect that we, some
several weeks since, alluded to the trick Of
G. F jackson, in trying TO palm off his three
days speech in favor of the Napton res
olutions, as the speech of ''Hon. r. NJ
Stewart" and, as yet no denial ofthe charge
is made. The Howard County Banner,
says it is ga wing fabrication,'' and calls
upon the democracy to place no reliance in
the accusation. We venture the assertion
that if the anti-Benton members of the last
legislature, were put upon the stand, they
would testify that greater portion of the
published speech of"Hon, R. M. Stewart
is "part" of the three days speech of "Hon
G. F. Jackson"
We look upon this attempt to blind ant
deceive the people as very mean, dirty
trick, unworthy honorable men, and hope
the voters Of the third Congressional dis.
trict, irrespective OF party, will rebuke Mr.
Jackson for this piece of presumptive i'm.
prudence, by refusing to vote for him fol
Congress. The man is unworthy the con.
fidence and trust of all honorable men: trad.
ing and corrupt politicians, who regard
trickery as proper and just, can vote for c.
F. Jackson, but aside from such, we are at
loss to conjecture where his support is
to come from. The good people of the
third Congressional district can rely npor
what has been said, in regard to the trick Of
Jackson to have Steward father bis three
days, speech, which we regard as very
puerile effort at justification of the null
fication resolutions. The idea of getting
rid of the charge by calling it "whig fab,
rication," is childish, not to say mean, ant
we trust the democracy of the third district
will frown upon all such attempts TO deceive
them. We would thousand times vote 70,
Lindley before we would for a man who
thus attempts to cheat and deceive honest
and unsuspecting citizens. II jeff. INQUIRER

Three times three for Lindley !
BENTON and the OTHER big He Nj

In Mr.. CT. JAcKsoy's speech, delivered
in The last Legislature in reply to Mr.. Blair,
Of St. Louis, Mr.. JACKSON said he proved
by that genieman's testimony, that
DENTON, and Van Buren,, and Adams,
and Giddings, and Fred Douglass, and the
OTHER big he niger Bib, are all of the
same school-all for FREEsoIL, and are all
found pigging in the same truckel-bed."
This was Mr.. Jackson's first speech,
which was published, not his three days
effort, which was smothered. Benton and
the other he niger, Bib, is pretty good
swallow for Benton man TO take, just be-
fore he votes to send Jackson TO Congress,
TO tel! the same thing on Benton thcrel Swal-
low it, Benton men.

For life has many cause OF grief,
And many apang of pain,
But love, old love. is ever new
The fairest flower that ever grew.
The stars shine out each silent night.
And smile upon the earth;
And though as old as ancient light.
Are now in infant mirth:
And so loves oft repeated tale
Grows never wearisome or stale.
Oh! let me lean upon thy breast.
And catch the whispered tone.
Thy presence breathes the air Of rest,
And every care has flown;
While all my nature doth expand,
And is no longer desert land.

And dream dream Of bliss,
While softly on my forehead steals
Thy pure and holy kiss,

Ah. THEN INDEED, will life grow old!
