Senator Bates's -Appeal
(From the PhilstVs Times & Keystone
The subjoined letter will be read frith
Its distinguished author has occupied a' prominent
position in the Senate bflie United States, and be
fore the American people, for a period of twenty
n i n e years. CoL Benton Was elected to the Senate
by t h e Legislature, in 1819, before Missiouri was
admitted into th e e Um on , and has continued in the
service of the Stale ever since. His present term
expires in March, 1851. The letter explains in
pirt, his position in connection with an important
public question. It is temperate and calm, at the
sam e time decided and to the point. The Legisla
tu of Missiouri at its last session instructed him to
do what his judgment condemned, and with that
fear l essn ess of character which has marked his
whole life be declined to obey. At the same time
r ecognizing the right of instruction he appeals to"
the source and fountain of all power and when their
wishes are knoiin, Le will act accordingly.
The members of the Legislature that instructed
Col. Benton, were elected without reference to the
question now at issue in Misseuri. He proposes,
therefore to bring - the subject before the people at the
'ensuing canvass and thus ascertain their views—
We admire the chivalric course of this venran
statesman. His noble bearing in great emergen•
cies—his undoubted patrictism at• all times—and
his high regard for the perpetuity of our glonrious
Union, cannot fail to endear him to the American
people. Disunion is not the remedy with him for
diseases of the body politic; nd while he condemns
in strong terms the Calhoun address, and the .Ac
comae resolutions, our readers will see that it is not
Without just cause. Those resolutions were adopted
at a meetting of the citizens of Accornac county, in
Virginia in March last, and were introduced by
Henry A. Wise, an erratic gentleman, always cele
brated for his violent measures. We append one
of the resolutions as a specimen of the whole, and
b) , it we plainly ascertain the tendency of the move-.
meat and the haven to which it point.:
" Resolved, That we will defend the " Union," by
remaining our own rights of soCcreirn opuility in it
to the last extremity of argument, of reason, of re
monstrance, of appeal, of moral resistance , in all
its forms; and finally, it compelled to do sot/force
if arms."
Against his doctrine CI Ben t on protests,
and
with a sagacity worthy of his highsputation he pro
poses to arrest it by throwing hirnseif into the
breach, and discussing its tendency before the
people. The effort is worthy of Andrew Jackson,
and reminds very tOreibly of his appeal to the pen-'
pig against the aggressions of the Bank of the U,
States. The old chief was sustained in that contest
and we doubt not that his friend and supporter—
lie who bore the burden of that battle Will also be
sustained. The slight shade which anon has been
eatt over Cot Aenton has not dimmed the lustre of
his brilliant Services ; nor will the Democracy for.
get one who stood by them so valiantly when they
needed help. " Coming events cast their shadows
before," We commend the letter to the attention
of our readers..
To the people of Missouri:
The General Assembly of our State, at. its late
session, adopted certain resolutions on the subject
of slavery, and gave me instructions to obey them.
From this command I appeal to the people of Mis
soon—the whole body of the people; and if they
confirm the instructions, I shall give them an oppor•
tonne to find a Senator to carry their will into effect
as I cannot do any thing to dissiiilve this Union, or
to array one halt of it against the other.
Ido not admit a dissolution pf the Union to be
a remedy, to be prescri' by statesmen, for the die
eases of the body politics, any more than I admit
death. or su cide to be a remedy, to be prescribed
by physicians for the diseases of the natural body.
Cube. and not kill, is the only remedy which my
mind can contemplate in either case.
I-think - it probable, from what I observe, that
them are niany citizens—good friends to the har
mony and stability of his Union—who do not see
the Missouri instructions and their prototype, the
Calhoun addrers, in the genie light that I see it, and
in the irzlit in which it is.seen by others who best'
understand it. For tho information of such citizens
and to let them see the next step in this movement
and u here it-is tended to I herewith subjoin acopy
iit the Accomac resolutions. lately adopted in that
, ountry Vtrginiar and ''fully. endorsed by the
Richmond Enquirer. as the voice pf the South do not
produce these resolutions for the purpose of an aign'.
ing them : on the contrary I see something in them
toadm ire us being bold and open and to the true
interpretation and legitimate- sequence of the Cal
-1101111 movement. I consider the Calhoun address
and its offspring, the Missouri instructions, as fun
damentally wrong; but to,..thore who think them
light, the Accomac resoluticine are also right and
should be immediately imitated by similar resolu
tions in Missouri. I produce them to enable the
people of Missouri to see what it is to which their
Legislature would commit the State and what it is
they have instructed me to do
I appeal from these instructions to the people of
Missouri,the whole body of the people—and in
due time will give my reasons for doing so. It is
a question above party, and goes to the whole peo
ple. In that point of view the Accomac resolutions
present it—and present it tidy; 'and I shall do the
same. I shall abide the decision of the whole peo
ple, and nothing less. Respectfully,
THOMAS H. BEN TON

THE GREAT ENGLISH REMEDY !
THE only original and genuine article for the cure
of Heaves and other complaints of the respiratory
apparatus and derangement of the digestive functions
in * Horse, is Kirkbede's
TATTERSALL'S HEAVE POWDER'. •
It is warranted to be perfectly &e in all- cases, will
not inconvenience the animal or injure, even it he has
no dissiver ; it is from 4 to 8 timer cheaper than moat
of the imitations which are being circulated through
out the country, being put up in much longer packages.
sufficient to cure an ontrmary cue of heaves, and to ad
minister in II dozen cares of cold, Wirth, &c.
This remedy has acquired a standing never bakers
attained by any horse medicine, and in fact we know
of peteat medicine that has received as such commen
dation considering the time it bas heed established in
this country. More than 500 verbal and writen testi
monials have voluntarily been tendered us.
GREA r dPRING PURIFIER.
The.lleave Powder, given in small doses, will 'be
found most useful at the vaesson. They
. stimulate the
skin to cast off the superfluous hair and produce new;
they loosen the hide, give a glowy appearance to the
coat, protect against disease; they also, for their fine
'alterative and restorative powers, purify the blood and
renovate the system. • bich bones require at this sea
son as much es any of the human 'each, wboknd a pre
partition ofSaresperilla useful to correct the vitiated
state of the fluids, incident to the change of weather,
which in the spring affects all animal as well as vege
ts4Plife. In short. most of the diseases horses are
wiled to, these powders are the cheapest and best, and
for ail the purposes of •
GENERAL CONDITION MEDICINE.
One package of it sdministered to • hone out of condi
duo, will do more to improve his flesh and sppearanue
than five bushels of corn or oats—this has been tested a
hundred times.
To these who may be dispobed to doubt the esusor
dinar, effutcy of this medicine, we will quote the fol
lowing sy nopsis of evidence, out of the hundreds of cer
tificates we have on hand.

A young. man in the town of Wilson, whose clothes
