Mr Flournoy begging Benton Votes

The friends Of COL Benton are pretty
strong in Shelby county, but in the canvass
of 1858 they could not be induced to touch
c. F. Jackson. Mr.. Flournoy the present
Anti-Benton candidate for Congress in that
District, has been over there trying his
hand on them. Listen to his argument, as
we find it in the Shelbyville Spectator:
We understand that Col. Flournoy adj
dreresSel the citizens of Bethel, in this
county, last week, where lie aborcd hard
10 convince the friends of Col Bcr,on that
LindIey was one ofthe greatest political en-
emies that Col. Benton had-that Mr.. Lind
ley was opposed 10 him (Benton) on the
Nebraska and Kansas bill, and consequent
ly Benton'S friends ought TO vote for him.
The CO... paid some very nice compliments
to old Bullion. but it all wouldn't win: the
citizens Of Bethel think vastly more Of Mr.,
LindIey, Whig as he is, than they do of Col.
FIournoy, more especially since his speech
of last week. Such soft soap as that won't
go down.
What an argument! and from an Anti
Benton candidate 10 Benton voters. Mr..
Linaley was on opposite sides 10 Col. Ben
ton on the Nebraska question, ''and conse.
quently Benton's friends ought not 10 vote
for him." And then those every nice COM
pliments TO Old Bullion" Yes-verv nice
now that Mr.. Flournoy is in great need of
Benton votes! But how did Mr.. Flournov
demean himself when Col. Benton was in
need of votes? How did he demean him
self when he was in position 10 serve ''Od
Bullion" with something more substantial
than mice compliments" His conduct
Then shows that he is shedding crocodile tears
n0lr.
In 1850 Col Benton was the first choice
of large majority Of the Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature for L. S. Senator,
ti'ty-iive being for him and thirty-eight
against him. Yet on this occasion Mr..
Flournoy, who would now make fair wealth
er with his friends by very nice compli-
men,s." stood up in the Legislature and vo.
ted against "Old Bullion" forty consecutive
times. (See Senate Journal, pages IS 1869
He could then vote for almost any body else
but Bullion" For twenty eight ballots he
tried TO defeat him with his inveterate enc
my, James s. Green. Failing to do it with
Mr.. Green, he five times tried the onice
compliment by voting for Harrison Housh.
This proving linSucces Sful, he sought 10 bow
String him with Ben. F. Stringlellow, and
to this end voted for him on seven ballots
--hu' standing out for near two weeks On
forty consecutive ballots, voting against Bull
lion all the time! But now he bestows upon
him ''some very nice compliments" in order
10 wheedle and bamboozle his friends.
Alas for The hollow ''compiments" of A !

Benton and the Supporter Of the Jackson

First Step to Ruin.

g My first stepto ruin,'' exclaimed a wretch
ed youth, as he tossed from side to side on
his straw bed in one corner Of his prison house,
sswas going fishing on the Sabbath. I knew
it was wrong; my mother taught me better;
my Bible taught me better; but | would heed
none of them. l did not think it would ever
come to this I am undone / am lost ~
What a warning is contained in the above
lines to Sabbath breakers The wanton des-
eeration of that holy day, may be looked upon
as light thing, by frivolous young men; but
it is not so. God, in his Word and in his
Providence, makes it very serious matter.
1t is more corrupting to the heart than many
suppose 1t seems to lead directly away from
God; and, consequently to crime, with a
strange facility! Just watch the course of

Omer Pacha.

A friend in Paris has furnished with an
interesting anecdote of Omer Pacha, of
the master spirits of the Turkish Empire
The son of poor Austrian Lieutenant of the
name of Hattah, Omer was, in his youth, ap-
pointed b-Inspector of Roads in Dalmatia.
Already he was tired OF Austria, whose Gov
ernment he detested. Turkey being the
neighborng country, offered HIM the pest
chance of making his fortune with passport
and some money he passed the frontier, and
entered by the village of Omer-Assay. Hard
lv had he penetrated into Bosnia, than he
plundered by robbers of all he possessed. even
to his shirt. A Turkish peasant took pity on
him, and furnished him with clothes and
money. Arriving at Benja Loaka without re-
sources, he was happy to find employment in
the house of Turkish merchant; he had
daughter, with whom the young Austrian be-
came enamored, and was about to marry her,
when, unfortunately, she died. From this
time Hattah turned Mahometan, and took the
name of Omer, in remembrance of the first
Turkish village he stopped at. From Benja
Loaka, Omer went to Widdin, to seek service
under HuSsim Pasha. At this time he was in
the flower of manly beauty, representing one
of the most graceful models of the Croat race.
with pure soft complexion, eyes soft and pen
etrating, and a splendid figure. He presented
himself before Hussimr The Pacha was en-
camped in sight of Widdin, in superb green
tent, lined within with red velvet and gold.
According to tho Eastern custom, Omer en-
tered the tent without ceremony just as the
chief had risen from his siesta.
ss What do you want r. asked the Pacha.
ss To enter the service of your Excellency." !"
We have already too many strangers in
our troops,'' was the reply.
Omer then took out of his pocket small
package, neatly folded, and begged the Pacha
| to accept it.
What is all this ~ asked the chief.
| 8: Some gloves, your Excelency."
| And what are they used for ~ (gloyes
| being a thing unknown TO him.)
When you are marching in the broiling
sum- replied Omcr, 'shave not your fair hands
| sometimes blistered, and do not your fingers
often get stiffened holding your hard bridles?''
:. And how do you get them on % said the
| Pacha with smile.
Omer quickly showed him. Having got
them on Hussim raised his arms and gazed
upon his hands in astonishment, as did his
| officers, who then entered the tent. These
| gloves got Omer employment, and soon after
he became the Pacha's aid-de-camp. Wher
the Governor of Widdcn died, he set off fol
| Constantinople, and rising gradually, became
| Generalissimo.
