Old Rul,;on re,or,s in the following vigor-
ously Characteristic style upon certain naN''o'
on. asser,,on. of Mr.. Senator Petit, made
lately at Lafayette, Indiana. Inc ie'e' |"
addressed TO Mr.. Howe, of the Lay'aye'e
American
W.su,scros, Saturday, June IL, 1884
JAMES HowE, Esq, Lafayette, ind'-Sir
Your letter has just been received' informing
me that Mr.. Petit, in public speech IN your
Town. stated that was the first man TO break
The Missouri Compromise. that had law
passed BY Congress, annexing to the State
large territory, &c. Sir, your Senator is
grea, liar and dirty dog, falsifying history
for a criminal purpose. The Missouri Com
nronise line was not piolated in annexing the
Platte country. Both parties 10 the Compro-
mise agreed to it, the free States being unan.
imous. There was not even yeas and nays
upon it. The General Assembly Of Missouri
requested it. We applied 10 the members,
personally and individually, for their consent,
which they gave; and wlhou, their consen,
no movement was made, or would have been
made. The journals prove this. There is
full accoun, Of ii in my "Thirty Years. yiew,'
in the chapter headed Extension of the
Missouri boundary"-also, in my late Ne
braska speech j, is briefly alluded TO, and this
is probably all that the dirty dog knew abou,
it, and which he fasifed to answer his Grim
ina purposes. | send you some of my Ne.
braska speeches, and hope you will find the
chapter in the "Thir,y years." and see that
this change in the line was asked as boon
from the Northern States, and by them gran
ted in spirit of kindness, and in way TO
prove ,ha, they would no, suffer an'i.Slavery
feelings 10 prevent them from doing an act
of great favor 10 the State of Missouri, aud
for which all Missouri was thankful al The
time, ahd am still. Mr.. Pelit must feel
tha, his cause is villiauous when he can thus
stand up before his constituents TO falsely
publish history, and 10 justify his own viola
ton of the Missouri compromise, BY telling
lie upon me.
Respectfully,
Thomas H. Benton.
