Third Congressional District.
The Convention which recently assembled
at Bloomington, Macon county, having nom
mated an Anti-Benton man, &C. +. Jack
SOM for Congress, we await with some in
terest to hear from the Benton wing of that |
| District. If we are not mistaken, jackson !
will receive as bitter opposition from them
as he will from the Wings. 1t is well
known that it has been the cherished idea Of
the Anti-Benton party to send jackson 20
the same Congress with Benton. To do
this wo'd be single tritmp ph over the cid
Senator and his friends. But we are much
mistaken if the friends Of Benton intend TO
let him run the race, unencumbered with
their opposition. To say nothing of the
Antics tampering with Phelps and others
and their attempts to destroy, We might al
most say with success, the influence of Ben
ton with the present Administration, it
would be the crowning sheaf Of their tri-
umphs to prove successful in this last and
bold attempt to beard the old Senator BY
electing 10 the same Congress with himself
this arch conspirator. We have heard it
said that Griffin Of Grundy true friend Of
Benton, and a man Of some ability and great
popularity, will be run in opposition to
Jackson. Mr.. Lindley, a good Wing, is
already in the field, and we doubt not will
give good account of himself oil the first
Monday in August.-[Boonyile Observer.
