THE DEMOCRATIC WAR IN MIssoURI-HARIs
AND SoFTs-CoLoNEL BENTON FOR GOVERNOR
The democratic hards and softs of Missouri
occupy the exact converse of the relative
principles of the hards and softs of New York.
There the hards, headed by Colonel Benton,
are the free soil faction; here, the softs, head
ed by Martin Van Buren, and President Pierce,
are the free soil wing of the party. But the
war between the two factions in Missouri has
ever been more violent than the war in New
York, and still continues so to be. The last
move Of the Missouri hards and softs is the
nomination by both factions Of candidate for
Governor-C Colonel Benton being the hard
candidate, and Mr.. Trasten Polk the soft
one. We think they are both soft; for we dare
say that the wing or American party, with
third candidate, will slip in between them, as
they have been doing for several years, and
carry off the prize. This Missouri split will
also be another nice little job of work for the
Cincinnati Convention; but we suspect that
the administration will effect compromise by
admitting the softs from Missouri and rejecting
the hards from New York.
