The Democracy Moving.
We copy the following communication,
written from our neighboring county, to
advise our readers of the movements of the
democracy, on the Benton side of the house.
The Antics hold their Convention at Bloom
ington, next Monday week, and it is gener-
ally supposed they will nominate Maj. c. F.
Jackson, of this county. The Jefferson
Inquirer" looking to this result, says: owe
would look upon friend of Col. Benton as
serf who would vote for Fox Jackson for
Congress. His course, and conduct TO-
wards that pure and patriotic statesman has
been such as to make the high wall and deep
ditch impossible. He is also, the reputed
author of the Napton notification resolu-
tons, that have caused so much difficulty
and dissension in the democratic party, and
no democrat can, who avows himself oppos-
ed to secession and notification, vote for
him for Congress. Rally to the standard of
some man good and true. Let the nullifers
rally to Claib Jackson"
The 'Inquier" endorses Maj. Griffin in
repubishing the communication referred TO
above, and which follows:-
From the Mo. Democrat.
KEYTsvILLE, Charlton CO., Mo
EDIToR OF THE DEMocRAT.-Dear Sir:
There is considerable interest manifested
in our District (the third) in regard TO the
Congressional election which takes place
next August. The democracy in this coun-
ty, and many other counties in which l am
acquainted, appear determined to bring for
ward candidate. As yet no person has
been settled upon, although the people are
canvassing the merits Of different candi-
dates. Griffin, of Grundy county, has ma
ny warm friends who are urging him as the
suitable person to be supported by the de,
mocracy. Many persons also speak of Eli
son, formerly Senator from this district
Jesse John, of Knox county, is also spoken
of very favorably. Halliburton, of Linn
county, has also many friends, and there are
several others who are mentioned in the
same connection. have no personal ac-
quaintance with any of the gentlemen above
mentioned, with the exception of Major
Griffin, of Grundy. have no doubt that
either of the gentlemen spoken of would be
acceptable 10 the democracy of the district,
for, although do not know them personally,
still the reputation they enjoy for ability and
faithfulness to true democratic principles, is
sufficient guaranty that they would main
tain the honor and interest of the State in
the canvass and Congress; but l happen to
know Major Griffin personally as we'll as
by reputation, and without doing injustice tc
others, Ihope may be allowed TO say that
should prefer to see the Democracy of the
district put him forward as their standard
bearer in the approaching contest. He is
known throughout the State as an eloquent
supporter of true principles, firm and relia-
BILE in every emergency. He has served in
the Legislature for several sessions and has
made himself felt by his industry, talents
and nfexible devotion TO principle; am
sure the cause could not be confded to ADLER
hands.
One thing the Democracy of this district
have determined upon, and that is, that Fox
Jackson, the nullifier, shall not represent
this district in Congress. He is very busy
getting up a caucus to put himself in nomi-
nation as Democratic candidate!! Heaven
help and save us from such Democrats. Not
all the caucuses in the universe will make
the people of this district believe that this
contemplate nullifer ever had a drop oil
Democratic blood in his veins. He is
known as an indefatigable office hunter, one
who has spent his life in getting up caucuses
to get himself nominated for office, who
is impudent enough to aspire to be Cover.

anxious for office that if he can't get to bt

ted to disgrace this district in Congress. I
is thousand times better to have decen

The detection of Lamb, Phelps and Gov.
