From the Statesman.
The Anti. Benton Editors and their Can
didate-The number of "Niggers"
they own-Read the Inventory and
think of it!
The Warrensburg Signal of the 18th of
May, very truthfully and appropriately
said:
"Ths barking against Maj. Rollins has
commenced, and they will keepit up; they
will will make him an aboitionist before
the canvass is over, notwithstanding the
Major was born and raised in slave State,
and owns slaves, while Col. Stewart, who
is New York Yankee, they swear is as
sound as Akers, Woodson or Maj. Holden.
We have no doubt if the truth were known
Maj. Rollins has more slaves than the
whole Anti-Benton Press in this State"
Well, the truth is known, and the slave
holders of Missouri ought to know what it
is. 1t is even worse than the Signal sup
posed it.
For years and years, as Tie people Of this
State well know, the editors Of the anti
Benton party have claimed to be intensely
sound on the ''nigger" question. They and
their party and their party candidates have
set themselves up as the peculiar defenders
and protectors Of the institution. They
have denounced all others as unsound; as
Freesoilers, Abolitionists and emancipa-
tionsts; as unworthy of the confidence Of
the Southern people. The ''nigger" ques-
ton has been their meat and their drink,
and the wolf-howl of Abolitionism their
stock in trade. II has constituted the warp
and wool Of all their political speeches and
editorials. Without it, they would have
long since died the death Of the ridiculous,
and gone down to merited oblivion. With
it, oblivion has been robbed Of its prey; and
the people of the State cursed with cease
less slavery agitation, and with misrule
beyond parallel in history.
Claiming to be par excellence the friends
of the STAKEHOLDER, the anti-Benton editors
and their candidate, Col. Stewart call upon
the Shareholders of Missouri, call upon the
emigrants from Kentucky, from Virginia,
from Tennessee, and from other slave States
10 confiie exclusively TO their hands the pro-
lection of the slavery interest. They a.
lone, it is arrogantly pretended, are fit 10
be trusted. The Americans. Wings and
Benton Democrats are unsound, are Free
soilers, and have so little interest in the in
stitution ofslavery that they wish 10 sweep
it from the State. greatly TO the prejudice
of these anti-Benton editors. Maj. Rol-
Inns, Southern man by birth and large
STAKEHOLDER, is, according TO their lying
} logic, an Abolitionist; while Col. Stewart,
a New York Yankee, with not "nigger"
TO his name, is Just the man for slavehold-
ers 10 support with whoop and a hurrah!
As these editors and their candidate make
such clamor about the "niggers," and
claim 10 be so intensely "sound on the
goose" we have thought it legitimate and
proper to enquire what personal ihteres,
they and their candidate have in the insti-
tuition. From the noise they make in re-
gard TO it, those not sup to snuff would
very naturally suppose they owned all the
"niggers" in the country. or at least were
