Squatter sovereign., 1856-05-06
Missouri Politics.

ties regularly organised in Missouri, and
hard battle is to be Fought In Angus,
next. The ticket presented by the Demo
cacy. is one of the strongest that could
possibly have been arranged. They are
all good Southern men, and 1t cannot be
charged that they are in the least tinctured
with the odious isnas of the day. This
ticket is one which is entitled to the sup
port of every true Southern man in Mis-
souri, and its election would be hailed
with enthusiastic pleasure, by the squatters
of Kansas Territory, who are undoubtedly
interested in Missouri politics. Below,
will be found the

Last and least, comes IN the Abolition,
Free-Soil, Benton, and Black Republicans,
with their ticket, headed by that arch
traitor to the South, Col. Thomas Hart
Benton. A greater insul: could not have
possibly been offered to the people of Mis-
souri,, than to present this man for the
Gubernatorial chair. 1t is not expected to
receive support from no one but those who
have cut themselves loose from the South,
their Northern allies AS the Benton
ticket is to Missouri, so is the abolition
ticket TO Kansas-both are aiming to dis
I
franchise Southe rners, and permit only
such cattle as is shipped out here, under

of the North, to gain foothold in Kansas
or Missouri. Below, will be found this
