PERSONALITIES.

Isupported Jackson when we were not on good
terms. Immediately there was a cry in many
quarters by class of men that think no personal
act can be done without a personal motive, that
Benton was counting Jackson for something Jack.
son was to give me an Office for supporting him
Benton did not condescend to answer any such
thing; he let time speak for him and time did
speak; and finally Jackson went out of Office and
out of the world, and Jackson never gave Benton
an Office and yet it is due to him (Jaokson) to say
that he felt grateful for the support which had
given his measures, on the floor of the House. 1t
was his own generous nature, and he wished to
give shining proofs Of his confidence. There was
talk of war with Mexico; he told me in his own
house, "You are to command the army" Then
there was rumor of war with France, "Y ou are to
command the army" no war came, but he offered
me the first embassies aud l declined them. IF
war had come, l should not have declined that,
(cheers,) but these embassies l did. One great
point of the character of Jackson was that he
hated to be in debt; he hated to be debtor of any
kind, and on that occasion he hated 10 60 out Of
the world seeming to owe Benton 80 much for
what Benton had done for him in supporting his
measures on the floor of the House. (Applause.)

TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY.

Tennessee and Kentucky, the only southern
States which voted for Scott, now stand side by
side in the democratic column. The aggregate
vote in the two States varies but little, and the
msiorities are nearly the same. Both States give
over 2. OO0 and lees than 1900, msjority for Bu-
chanan and Brecknridge. The gain in Kentucky
since the last elections is greatest but Tennessee
repudisted know nothingism from the start, and
her majority is now little the largest. Kentucky
had the benefit of the popularity of the democratic
candidate for the Vice Presidency; but Tennessee
had the benefit of the unpopularity of the know
nothing candidate for the same Office. 1t is hard
to tell which made most from being the home o
the candidates.

A BAD INVESTMENT.

These democrats in this State, who two years
ago, were made to believe that know -nothirgsm
would sweep the country and elect the next
President" and who enlisted in its ranks, must
feel exceedingly uncomfortable about these days
A few were smart enough to secure pay dOacn, but
the great mass took the thing on trust. Sam was
as liberal in bis promises was that bad fellow OF
old, who promised all the kingdoms of the world,
when he didn't own foot of one of them. Sam
promised these renegade democrats all the offices
yet Sam is to-day beggar, with only one poor
State, worn out in raising tobacco, in his wallet
Poor feowsl They did the democratic party Q
signal service in quitting it, and are entitled to oul
pity, in return for the favor they thus did us.

Chattooga county gave democratic majority of
ll8 at the last election for Governor.
KEETUcKY.-The Louisville Courier has returns
from all the counties in the State but Harlan, in
which BUCHANAN's majority is Z ,294. Harlan coun-
ty last year gave %oREHEAD l66 majority, and will
now probably show gain for FILLMORE. The Of
fetal vote may vary the figures slightly, and it is
exceedingly difficult to say which side of 1000
the majority will fail.
FREMoNr's vote is only 800.
ILL1xoH.-The official returns from 90 counties
and reported returns from the seven remaining
counties, give e.2l7 majority for BUCHANAN and
S072 for BIssELL.
VlRGIMA-In l37 counties heard from, BUoHAN-
ANS majority is over % 54l. Seven more counties
are to hear from, which will make the majority
over 10000 This is one Of the States that Hum

IowA-The Keokuk Post, of the 18th, gives the
returns from thirty counties, from which it appears
that the Buchanan gain over the vote at the Au-
gust election is 2963 The entire Republican
majority IN the State in August was 6,972 There
is probability that Buchanan gains can overcome
that majority, all reports to the contrary notwth-

Persons going TO Council City from
Lawrence, will find the nearest road to
be through Bloomington. Cross the
Wakarusa at Yates, pass directly
through Bloomington, and strike the
Santa Fe road, about six miles east of
10, which is twenty-five miles, perhaps
thirty, from Lawrence. From thence
to Council City it is eight OF ten miles.
This route is said to be twelve or. fifteen
miles nearer than the old one, which
leads up past Big Springs to Topeka, and
and there strikes southerly across the

The Murder Of I,ove,ov.

The incidents attending the murder of
Rev. 4. P. LoyEJoY, in Alton, Illinois,
on the 7th of November, 1897, is fresh
in the recollection of many of our read
efs. The reputation of Alton has been
in bad repute since that time, on account
OF the occurrence, and It's citizens who
have been residents there, from that Pc
Rod down to the present, have felt that q
curse was upon the town; that it must
remain in that condition until public
opinion should come to their relief and
present the facts to prejudiced world.
During the stay of the senior editor in
Alton, two weeks ago, he visited the
place of Lovejoy's violent death, and
dropped tear over his grave, an account
of which he details in his letter of the
18th inst. We trust the letter will be
carefully read, and that our exchanges
throughout the North will do Alton, as
well as the people of Kansas-whose in
terests appear, in the future. to be iden-
tifed with those of Ahon-the favor to
place that city correctly before the pub
lie on that subject. Mr.. Loyejoy, it
seems, scds not slain by the citizens Of Al
ton; on the contrary. they were upon the
ground resolved to defend him and his
property to the last extremity, and they
would have done SO but for his prema-
ture death.
