Cbt C5Iasgo(u Gimcs,

Major JAcRsoN's friends in this county |
seem TO rely with some confidence upon the
support of Col. Benton's friends in this dis
trict, with what reason do not know I do |
not know of what stuff they are made, but
presuming they are animated with the pride,
spirit and soul common to men, believe
they will not do it. Why should they ?
They admire C5. Benton's great genius, the
at every thing tending to disunion, and the
indomitable perseverance which has given
him a position and rcnown worthy of a
great Statesman. They believe that per-
sonal pique, individual ambition and party
jealousy Of his great name, induced the
clique, of which Jackson was the head and
front, to bake that batch of notification
known as Jaclson's resolutions. They saw
Benton raise his hand against them and APP
plauded him for so doing. For this act they
heard him denounced as a Freesoiler and
Abolitionist by Jackson and his friends,
and with Benton they Indignantly hurled
back the SANDER in the teeth of his and
their foes. Above the confused cries of
raging political strife, they heard the voice
of Benton calling every patriot TO rally
around the stars and stripes, bright embems
of cur tederate union, and protect them from
dismemberment. They listened to his warn
ing voice, and for this he and they were
branded as false-hearted traitors and enc
mics to the State. They have seen him
hunted by the whole jackson pack from ST.
Louis to the western border. They have
seen linn turn upon them and lash them I'M
til they quailed before him like hounds be-
fore the hunted hon. Lion, villain, traitor,
dog, and all such vile epithets they have
heard heapcd upon him while they have
been compelled to bear, in addition, the still
more contemptuous appellaiions Of ''toad-
les" clicks pittles," "nigger stealers," and
"Benton pups" The enemies they fought
were led OIL by Jackson. In all the mis-
chief done against Benton, Jackson was sure
to have a finger. Jackson's resolutions
were their rallying cry, and Jackson's ad-
vancemcnt their polar star. In the first
movement made against Benton before the
people by the Antics, Jackson had a hand.
After the Jacks on resolutions were concoo-
ted and passed, and ! believe Let6re Benton
appeal, in railroad meeting held i'll Fayette
by all parties, a resolution was offered by q
friend of Jackson, insinuating that Benton
was Freesoiler or Abolitionst. This res
olution was ad0ocaicd by Jackson, bit was
laid on the table as being out of order.
Then jackson was painting for Benton's
Senatorial robe. Nor, finding that out Of
his reach, he, ''with a pensive eye and
trickling tear" longs for a seat in Congress
from this district. This way he turned his
eye last winter in the Legislature; and,
with his usual sagaci'y, calculating that he
would need Benton's friends to aid him, he
REDEEMED his definition OF Freasoilcr, and
since then has wished to forget the TEST he
and his friends, two years before, made the
golden-calf Of their idolatry. Now he is
too polite to call any one in this district, but
a Wing, Freesoiler and as for the Jack
son Resolutions, he has sent them like q
parcel Of bastaris into the backwood, and
takes it very unkind in any one to inquire
after them. jackson needs the Benton vote;
without it he is beaten; hence this whining,
He wishes to shew himself to Benton in
Congress- to let him know that If he could
not get his seat in the Senate he is at least
even with him in the House. For this end
the Benton men are now called upon TO vote
for This man. No compromise, no oonces-
sion, none but jackson will DO for them.
The Antics think Benton's friends are sick,
and, Doctor like, they choose the most loath-
some drug they have 10 force into their
stomachs; but to make them take it they are
now presenting it as delightful sugar
coated anti-Benton will. Y.
