Bentonite-Ah Thompson! How are
you? When did you get back from the East,
and what news do you bring? '.
Anti -Bentonite.-I'm very well, friend
Johnson--thank yon-hope You are well.
Got home last night. No news, except
there's great excitement about the election
on East. How is II here?
B.--Not much going on here in the cleo
tioneering line occasionally an excursion
to neighboring State by the hot-hends of
either party; but very little said or done
/ here.
Ant-B.-Our State is sure FOR Buchanan.
of course, and the Americans give it up,
suppose.
B.-I don't know about that-sllis not SO
sure here as ole might suppose, judging
from the State election in August.
Anti-B How is that?
! D. t'N 'IC u run iSs tiltIG ~

Of our party--and Of yours too--taNk Of vo-
! ting for Fillmore and Donelson, being dis
gusted with the di>union sentiments contin-
naly uttered by the leaders Of the Demo-
cratic party at the South.
Anti well, it is extremely disgusting
the way Brooks, Wise, the Richmond En-
quirer, and other leading politicians and
newspapers, are carrying on the canvass.
I must confess have been strongly tempt
ed TO vote for Fillmore, who is good Ma
tohol Union-man; but then you know tho
Republican SAYS there is ''no chance" for
him. 81
B.--Bah. mo chance" icIl you, friend
Thompson, he has the best chance of the
three candidates; and 70 be plain with YOU, I
intend 10 vote for him as the best man,
whether he has the best chanc. or not.
An:i-B.--You know I've been absent
political affairs here. Wherever I've tray.
eled, confess TO you, The conservative,
thinking men, appear TO be all for Fillmore;
but here in Missouri, with only 10000 votes
given To the American ticket in Angus, and
over 70, 600 for the other two tickets. (notp
united, how can yutl make it out that Fill
more has any prospect Of carrying the State?
B.-l'll tell you; In the first Place. the
two parties (yours and mine, are not united
mot by long shot! They are as much
divided as ever, and time will show IT. This
State election was family qnarrel-,he old
contest between Benton and the Anti Ben
ton, was 10 be decided Mt The ballot-box. l.
was the hardest thing in the world to draw
"ff voters from taking part in that contest.
Benton had hosts Of warm friends and bitter
ioes. All felt it duty 10 take a part in
that contest between Our old veteran Sena-
tor and his political enemies. Almost ev.
cry man in the State, wanted 10 give lick
sin his favor or against him" Yet The A
mercans drew off 40 coo votes. ..-.
Anti-B. THAT is so; but alter that contest,
it was understood The Democrats of both
wings were TO unite in the support OF Buc.
hanan.
Bit may have been understood so, but
it is not SO, as you will learn 10 certainty
before long. Look at il. The Benton quarrel
being out OF the way, each voters will now
cast his suffrage in The Presidential election
for Buchanan or Fillmore. lust as his liking
shall infuence him; and from all can see
and hear, Fillmore is likely TO carry the
State by very handsome majority. The
O.d Line Wings, who divided their woes
between Polk, Benton, and Ewing, will al.
most TO man 20 for their Old lavnrite, and
there are good many Of them, You will
admit.
Anti. b. - Yes--and there's Bates--ho
goes for Fillmore, heart and soul; and The
people have great confidence in Bales. But
how about the Republican" that stauneh
