Benton IN the Nullifers.


make few extracts, for the benefit OF the
nuIiiiers, who are continually asserting
that Benton is dead"-that he is killed
off" There i some rigor in the "old man
yet, and this circular will call down few
extra curses Oh him. After accepting the
nomination, he says:-
81 am also gratified 10 see that there are
three tickets in the field of St. Louis, both
for Congress and all the county elections
one for the Democracy, one for the Wings
and one for the Nullitiers. 1t is the right
way. The three parties exist, and prnci.
pie and fair play require that each should
have its own candidates, and fall or stand
upon It's own strength. l hope it will be 50
throughout the Stata--three tickets in every
Congress District, and in every county, for
every office; and no combinations or c1a|i-
lions between any two parties. II any
( Wing or Democrat chooses to vote the 9th
ers ticket, let him do it individually, and
openly and above board, and for reasons that
he is moi ashamed Of. Betweena Wing and
a Nniiiier should, myself, have no hesila.
tation. The Wings are for the Union, and
for the harmony and stability Of the Union.
and that Is Il point Of community between
them and the democracy which enables them
to act together on the questions which are
either to" high or too low for party. I act
very well in Congress with the Wings,
/ (both OF lay own State and o,he7s,) on al
questions unconnected with party; but the
Nulli!iers oppose me in everything, from
the Central Pacific Railroad down TO St,
Louis Custom House; and that, not fairly
and nanIuIiy, but sIyly and insiduously,with
secret nnderminiigs and foul whispernas.
They are enemies TO the Union-to its peace
and harmony-and am an enemy to them.
and would vote for them under no circu,r-
stances, and want no votes from them
They are enemies 10 the Democracy, and
ready at any Time 10 trade with the Wings
10 defeat them.
