He denounced the Democratic party Of the
State as Calhoun nulificrs, while he mod
estly assumed 10 be the peculiar champion
Of the Union. Having made this charge a.
gainst his old friends on the one hand, and
this inn udent assumption to himself on the
other, neither of which could be sustained
except upon his favorite plan, that ga lie
well stuck 70, is as good as the truth"-he
next assert that, leaving out notification,
there is in reality, no difference between
himself and the Democracy Of the State
But this assumed test which never had an
existence except in his own brain and that
Of his folowers-proved, TO use his own
translation Of ne ereat-"no CO.
There were men enough in the State to
hurl him from the Senate, who could see
that charging notification upon others, did
not make him Democrat, nor excuse his
disobedence 10 instructions--no hide the
Abolition weapons with which he was
striking for the Presidency His deep
laid scheme of treachery was seen by some,
and quite enough TO send him bowling a.
mong the 'apostate damned of all political
parties. ...
The object Of Benton's men was to pre-
vent an election of United States Senator
at that session, if they found they could not
elect Benton, and thereby unloose that old
dragon upon the State for two years more,
TO roam pan down through the land preach
ing Abolitonism; and seeking to destroy
the Democrats with his lies and ISLANDERS.
| Let the friends of Col. Benton read the
following from the 9th and 28,h pages:
Mr.. President: The gentleman from
Cass says that the next caricature Ct Col.
Benton ought to be representing him with n
bank bill one side of his neck and thirty
pieces Of silver on the other, / am a. loss
TO comprehend the gentleman's meaning,
unless he intends TO say that his matter does
not now deal exclusively in bunk paper, as
he did before he became hard money man,
and though it was modest in yeung man
TO ide his funds from the public eye, O
"Senator for thirty years" may carry his
hard earnings in bank paper; and specie
on the outside of his neck. If the gentle
man intends any such hard inslnuations
far be it from me TO gainsay him. 1t does
indeed seem that the older that notoriou.
individual grows, the more open and shame
less he becomes. Nor would think i, be-
coming in me, sir, to differ with the gentle
man from Cass, if he were 10 charge hi,
master with all the little pecadiloes forbid
den ina,he decslogue. Sir, l am not th'
Originator d His graphic figure, nor have
any taste-for that kind of blasphemy whicl
compares corrupt politician with the Sa
viour Of the world, but since the gentleman
has introduced it, will take occasion t,
say that he and others of his party have
ieken Judas for their Christ, nor do | be
lieve they would see their error if th'
weight of his crimss shou'd cause his bow
els 10 gush out Before their eyes. l will
not pretend 10 say that if justice had beer
done upon this I.cariot, he would have lonl
ago been handed down in infamy TO tn,
'Potttr's feld;' but / will say that when
know a man TO be 50 open in his misdeeds
and SO regardless of honor and Of public o
pinion as to plead the statute of limitation
upon helpless woman, and she the widow
Of his personal and political friend, | IN
persuaded tha, his crimes are limited onl
by the temptation presented TO him.
Here Col. Stewart makes an eternn
pledge BeI.ton men, read il:
The people of this State can no longer b
humbuggcd in that way. They begin TO es
innate him at his proper value, and no more
That estimate occasioned me TO vote agans
him for u 5. Senator, and will ensure m
opposition to the doctrine Of himself and hi
party whilst | am permitted 10 think ,r t
speak. ..s. ........ ..r...r.
