union be contaminated with the aforesaid Convention
From this it win be that If the Bentonians be-

willing that the people of Territories hereafter

if they feel unwilling pledge themselves to support tbs
nominees of the Democratic National Convention then tho
Bentonians did rghtthey could in such case have no
possible right pretend to be democrats far less
take seats in a Democratic Convention.
The resolution which was so offensive to the BenonAns
reads thus:
a. Resolved That we cordially approve the passage
the act and of the principle which
eognes that the people Of the Territories have the right
form and regulate their domestic institutions in their
way subject only the constitution OF the United Sates
No man who cannot subscribe that resolution is likely
to be thought very RADICAL democrat There is not a
moment if such resolution ohered-ts acceptance
would be sure This being the case the Missouri demo-
cratic State convention in making proposition the,
Bentonians could not well do otherwise than present the

party and the lesser matters which have heretofore
divided u.s. unite with in rayng to their aid in sup

1t was clearly impossible fer the democratic convention
to concsd atoay the principles of sgOFernent for tho
paltry purpose of winning few BenoniAns, principally
resident in St Louis and all under the magn influence
of the Bairs Principles be conoeded-expedens
may But when dealing with the Blairs, who seek tho
elevation of the black republican ticket the concession Of
both principles and expedients would have been useless
Nothing but the support of their nominees at Philadelphia
in opposition to the democratic nominees at Cincinnati

One other fact before close Col Benton in erHsc to
keep up the courage his adherent has written to Missouri
saying that he holds under advsement his nomination for
governor Can any doubt that lift ascertaned that his
running will carry off votes enough from the democratic
ticket TO enable the know nothings to defeat it, Colonel
Benton will be canddate2 If the fact of his being a
candidate will in any way promote the views and multi
ply the chances of his son-naw, he will be one The
