EXTRACTS FROM COL. STEWARDS SPEECH.
The following are extracts from speech
delivered in Joint Session Of the Missouri
Legislature, January, 1853, by Col, Rob-
ert M. Stewart, the anti Benton candidate
fer Governor. The speech was p inted at
the Examiner office, Jefferson City, and is
therefore Official The extracts which
follow cannot be anything else than refresh
ing to Col. Bentsn and his friends:
ut will be remembered by all the mem
bers Of the last General Assembly, that one
Of the greatest obstacles in the way of ef-
fscting the election Of U. S. Senator, was
the outside pressure, occasioued by the dir-
ferent applicants for Bank officers. | do
mol mention this fact in disparngement Of
those gentlemen, but speak Of it as a
truth that naturally grew cut ofthe pecu-
liar political combinations that existed at
the time, and which know. TO be true
/. Owing to the treachery Of one man, the State
was at that time represented, as it is now,
by Democrats, Whigs, and Benton men,
The two first representing, Gas in times Of
old what they conserved TO be the best in
tefese 94hsdsso great political parties Of
nd State. The third, representing the in
tere't Of one man, who had proved himself
70 be a traitor TO his party, and to his State,
and who vninly supposed that he could not
only make use Of the Wings TO defeat the
party which he had baseiy deserted, but
that he could wheedle and coax, and hatter
them, 10 submit to be used as tools to aid
him in striking for the Presidency These
men, although they had publicly and note
riously abandoned all the ancient land
marks OF the Democratic party, and had be.
come the voluntary instruments in the hands
Of one man, to place the State in wrong
position in the eyes OF her sister States, nnt
the world, still claimed TO be democrats
and assumed the right 10 dictate terms tt
the Democratic party--and foolishly at
tempted TO throw the blame which attached
TO their OWL leader, and TO themselves, upor
the Democratic members OF the Lsgisla
turs."
After denoucing the Benton Democrats
as an "impudent faction" and Col. Bentol
as "disgused abolitionist," Mr.. Stewar
proceeds:
"Were compelled 10 make choice 10
day between Mr.. Seward of New York
and Col. Benton, | should cast my vote fol
the former, because he is an open and avow.
ed Abolitionist representing a free State
The latter.is covert and disguised Abol
zionist, attempting 10 mis-represent a sav
State. One is a frank and open enemy, th
ether deceitful and insdious one. Every
body would know where TO find Seward
but Benton's whereabouts would be NOR
difficult for some people to ascertain. TIL
known character of Seward as an Aboli
zionist, would render him TO q great exlen
harmless. The equivocal position of Ben
ton renders him dangerous. l make tni
explicit statement now because it has bee
charged that Land those with whom acted
had made ths power of Congress owe
slavery in the territories, test question
in our party politics, and this was the con
trolling reason why Col. Benton was de
feated. Sir, this charge is totally unfound
ed. We had made such test. The Bal
tmore resolutions made no such test an
we stood upon them, and required no one I
do more"
How do the power testers" relish thes
avowals and confessions of their candidate
He gives a flat contradiction, and offer
o direct reputation TO what many of then
In this quarter declared and swore by.-
But listen again:
He Benton well knew that those q
both parties, who denied that power, neve

accomplish by manufacturing weapons an
ammunitions for the Wings TO carry on
war with the Democratic party. He there
