Col. BENTON AGAINST EMANCIPATIoN.- 1t wa.
mentioned few days sgo that Colonel Benton had
written letter protesting against the movement
Of some of his friends in Missouri in favor of slave
emancipation. The substance of this letter, near
ly word for word, is thus given by the st. Louis
Leader:
81 saw with amszement" writes Col Benton
'the late abolition movement iu the Legisiature
and wrote Immediately to Price, Rusk ando.hers a.
Jefferson City to denouuce and repedisteit. These
persons ought to have themselves loose from
me before they began such an agitation. If they
intended to start such question they should have
let it be known before the election and rot have
deceived me.
II was told by many that these persons would
turn out for abolition after the election, but could
not believe it, That State agitation of slavery
should be added to the national agitation was an
incredible thing.
For persons calling themselves my friends to
attack The policy Of my aohote kfe-Ohe italics are
Col Benton's)-to attack the policy of my whole
life, after making use of my name to carry an
election is the greates. outrage have ever expe-
rienced Not one of them has ever approached me
on the subject, or has offered any explanalion or
justification, for it is something which they can
neither explain nor justify. They know perfectly

view TO keep this slavery sgitaiion out of politics,
