Col. BentOn's Course endorsed by MIR.
Buchanan.


Democratic presses which, previous to
the nomination of Mr. Buchanan were de-
voted to the interests of President Pierce,
whiting under the influences of Col. Ben
tons St. Louis speech, have been attempt
ing to create the impression that the old
democratic free-soler is playing a double
handed game. We shall not undertake to
decide whether they be right or wrong. 1t
is sufficient to know that whether the game
be single or double handed, whether his
motives be pure or impure, Mr.. Buchanan
endorses, and eren thanks him for the loOrk he
IS doing IN Missouri! The fact of this en-
dorsement is made known in the following
article from the Missouri Democrat, of the
18th inst. The Democrat is the leading
democratic paper of Missouri, and the or
gan of Col. Benton. 1t is actively and
zealously supporting Mr.. Buchanan

BUCHANAN AND BENTON.
The Republican has taken up the trade which
leave off, and through three mortal columns Iabors
to show that Benton cannot, will not, and shall
support MIR. Buchanan. This argument OF the Re-
puOlIcan's might be OF some force il it were not
for the fact that Mr. Benton is even now, when the
summer heats deter younger men from going out,
making the most unex ampled canvass upon record
to secure the State of Missouri to the Democratic
party aud TO cast its electoral vote for Mr. Buchan

Such rumors have been ahoat in this community
Tor more than week past, and the present visit Of

is understood TO have come connection with the
proposed altered line fpolcy Ii is therefore the
the cue Of the Republican now to abuse Benton
aud everybody connected with Benton, under its
Buchanan guise, aud thus try to drive them of
from Sir. Buchansn's support. The Washington
Union, which wac equally sold to Pierce and Dou-
glas, tried the same game, bat Il met tsh such DIS

IL is scarcely necessary to say more in rejoinder

already been reiuted time aud again. Furthermore
We may add that what is transpiring before the

ideas which are known TO have secured him his

deserve.
