Howard county for many years, even as late as the war of 1861, wielded more power in politics than any other county in Missouri. In reference to this fact, the St. Louis Evening News, of June 3, 1852, says : --

Howard county, in this state, has for a good while been regarded as a sort of Delphie region in the matter of politics, especially with the democratic party of Missouri. There are long heads and shrewd fingers in old Howard, and the democratie politicians there " know the ropes " and pull the wires about as skilfully as any other men in the country. The whigs of that county are likewise extremely " well-developed" in all that pertains to a masterly vindication of the principles of good government. They may be defeated now and then, by a philistine, who plows with a locofoco heiter, but they never lose the spirit and courage, which a consciousness of right always gives to men of true chivalry.

The Jefferson City scheme was concerted in Howard county, and a very pretty dead-fall it has proved to many scores of the truest sort of Benton democrats. The "nullifiers" about Fayette, are the old regency of Missouri, and they planned the Jefferson City

HISTORY OF HOWARD AND CHARITON COUNTIES.

" slaughter-house," with the sole purpose of taking the hide and tallow from the friends of the ex-senator of Missouri.

They succeeded pretty well -we may say, admirably well. They got what they went for. But they have got rather more than they wanted. They have got the hoof's and horns of the Missouri bull -right after him. Any one who has been made to quake by the unearthly bellowings of a herd of cattle, who have come upou the scene of the murder and spilt blood of one of their comrades, ean appreciate the terror that Benton, and the Benton line of the old Jacksonian democracy, will soon send into the ranks of the butchers who slew so many of the honored members of that family at Jefferson City.

That Howard county wielded more influence in polities than any other county in the state, from 1825 to 1860, there ean be but little doubt, and, when we consider the number, character, and intellectual calibre of her politicians and prominent men, we are not at all sur- prised that this statement is true of the period named. Such men as General John B. Clark, Sr., Governor C. F. Jackson, Governor John G. Miller, Colonel Joseph Davis, Colonel James H. Birch, Judge Abiel Leonard, and a score of other men, scarcely less able and dis- tinguished, would have been conspicuous anywhere as leaders of men and champions of a great cause. The democratic party has been the predominant party in polities, but occasionlly, the whig candi- date, because of his popularity, would succeed in representing the county in the general assembly. The difference between the two parties, at some of the early presidential elections was not very great. In 1844, Henry Clay carried the county by forty-four votes. Take for instance the presidential election of William Henry Harrison, in the year 1840. That was one of the most exciting, and perhaps the most hotly contested of all elections that ever occurred in Howard county.

The campaign for the whigs, was in the hands of Judge Leonard, General John B. Clark, Sr., Colonel James H. Birch, and others who were ably supplemented by the Boone's Liek Times, an aggressive and wide-awake paper, edited at the time by Cyril C. Cady. The democratic party was led by Claiborne F. Jackson, John G. Miller, Governor Boggs, and others, and supported by the Boone's Liek Democrat, which was also a strong and influential paper, and devoted to the cause of its party.

The campaign was opened in the spring of 1840, at Fayette, when General Clark and Colonel Birch addressed a meeting of whigs. In May following, a Tippecanoe club was organized with Major Gerard Robinson for president.

315

The election resulted as follows in Howard county. Whigs marked thus *. Others Democrats.

For Governor. - Clark, " 789 ; Reynolds, 892 ; Bogy, 781 ; Mar- maduke, 887.

For Congress. - Samuel* 780; Sibley, 781; Edwards, 891; Miller, 890.

Although the whigs were defeated in Howard county, they felt so happy over the result of the election of General Harrison, that on the 5th of December following, a grand ball was given at Fayette in honor of the victory and called the " Harrison ball." The floor managers upon that occasion, were Judge Leonard, Colonel Davis, George W. Given, W. T. Tyler, L. Bumgardner, D. Kunkle, J. T. Cleveland, George W. Ward, C. P. Brown, and others.

During Harrison's campaign, there were a greater number of po- litical rhymers and poets than ever before or since known in similar campaigns. There was hardly a paper issued that did not contain one or more eulogistic or denunciatory poems on the candidates for the presidential office. In the Boone's Lick Times of 1840, a parody on the poem entitled Hohenlinden, was written for that paper by a local poet, and being an ingenius production, we here reproduce a portion of it : -

On the Wabash when the sun was low, In ambush lay the hidden foe. And dark as winter was the flow Of Wabash, rolling rapidly.

But Harrison saw another sight, When the drum beat at dead of night, Commanding fires of death to light The darkness of the scenery.

By torch and trumpet fast arrayed, Each freeman drew his battle blade, And furious every charger neighed, To join the dreadful revelry. * * *

See Harrison rush from place to place. While smoke and fire begirt his face, To crush the assaulters of his race, With Kentucky's gallantry. * * * * *

Hark! how the falling foes retreat, Bold Harrison's victory is complete, And every turf's a winding sheet, Of some Indian warrior.

316

HISTORY OF HOWARD AND CHARITON COUNTIES.

While there was much rejoicing among the whigs of Howard county over the result, there had grown out of the contest a bitter al- tereation between General John B. Clark, Sr., and Governor C. F. Jackson, which was occasioned by Governor Jackson giving publicity to a private letter written by General Clark, to Colonel James H. Birch. Below we give the correspondence in full, in reference to the matter, which almost ended in a duel.

FAYETTE, September 14, 1840.

SIR: In the course of a correspondence respecting a letter purporting to have been written to me by General John B. Clark, from Versailles, on the 9th of July last, and published in the Demo- crat of the 9th instant, I have been referred to you as having furnished it to the gentleman who caused it to be published. My right to de- mand, not only its restoration, but to be informed when, where, and in what manner you became possessed of that letter, will, of course, be recognized at your earliest convenience.

Respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. II. BIRCH.

FAYETTE, September 16, 1840. Mr. James II. Birch :

SIR : Your letter of the 14th instant in relation to General Clark's letter addressed to you from Versailles, on the 9th of July last, has been received.

That letter was found by me with some other papers in my house. some two weeks after the elose of our late election. Whether it fell in my possession by an exchange of saddle-bags, or was placed in my own saddle-bags by mistake, is a matter that I do not know, and cannot determine. The saddle-bags which I was using at the time were borrowed, and I am not informed sufficiently to determine more explicitly, how this letter came into my possession, than above stated. That letter is still in the possession of the editor of the Democrat, as you have already been informed by C. F. Jackson, E-q., and can be had at any time when applied for, and by leaving with the editor a written statement acknowledging its authenticity.

Respectfully, OWEN RAWLINS.

FAYETTE, September 11, 1840. C. F. Jackson, Esq .:

SIR : Your name having been surrendered by the editor of the Democrat, as the author of a communication which appeared in that paper on Wednesday last, over the signature of " Anti-Fraud," I em- brace the earliest practicable moment to call your attention to the im- putations which it seems to convey, in derogation of my personal honor.

Desiring, nevertheless, in a matter of so much delieaey, that you should have an opportunity of reviewing those strictures and frankly

317

HISTORY OF HOWARD AND CHARITON COUNTIES.

stating whether they were either originally intended to convey such imputations, or are, from your subsequent reflections, justified either by the tenor of my alleged letter to Colonel Birch, or in any other act of mine, I have requested Colonel Birch to wait upon you with this note, and ask you to mention the time against which I may be favored with a reply. Respectfully yours,

JOHN B. CLARK. FAYETTE, September 12, 1840.

SIR: Your note of yesterday, by Colonel Birch, has been re- ceived. If there be any particular part or parts of the communication in question which, in your opinion, refleets on your .. personal honor," and you will point them out, they will be considered, and such reply given as the facts in the case may warrant. I take this occasion to re- mark, that I cannot consent to receiving any further communications from you by the hands of Col. Birch, connected with this subject. The relation which he bears to the matter under consideration, in my opinion renders it improper.

Very respectfully, C. F. JACKSON.

GENERAL JOHN B. CLARK.

FAYETTE, September 12. 1840.

SIR : If my note of yesterday be of doubtful or uncertain con- struetion, it resulted either from the imperfection of our language or my incapacity to adapt it to the purpose intended. By recurring to that note, you will discover that my object was to eall your attention to the communication signed " Anti-Frand," and to know of you if you intended by that communication. or any part of it, to reflect on my personal honor. If so, it was further designed to suggest to you a review of those strietures, and then to demand of your candor whether the tenor of my alleged letter to Colonel Bireh, or any act of mine, justified such imputation. Being thus in possession of my ob- jeet and purposes, and perceiving no further reason for suspending your reply, I shall await its reception at your earliest convenience.

The suggestion you have made, concerning the double relation by which Colonel Birch has been thus far connected with this transaction, coupled with the more ample explanation of your friend, Dr. Scott, relieves that gentleman from any embarrassment in deelining the fur- ther prosecution of a duty, which he reluctantly assumed in the first instance, at my reiterated solictaition.

Respectfully, JOHN B. CLARK.

C. F. JACKSON, Esq.

FAYETTE, September 12, 1840.

SIR : I have received your note of this date by the hands of Mr. Leonard .* Personally, I have naught against you, and have not sought to make an attack upon your . personal honor." My object in writing the article published in the last Democrat, signed, " Anti-

* Judge Abiel Leonard.

Fraud," was to expose the political fraud which, I consider, had been put under way to deceive the Democratic party, and in that matter my views remain wholly unchanged.

Very respectfully,

C. F. JACKSON.

GENERAL JOIN B. CLARK.

FAYETTE, September 14, 1840.

Sin: Your note of the 12th, was received late on Saturday evening. It is wholly unsatisfactory. I therefore demand of you a personal interview. My friend, Mr. Leonard, is authorized to arrange all necessary preliminaries on my part, with the understanding that if other engagements should withdraw him before its final adjustment, another gentleman will be substituted in his place.

Yours,

JOHN B. CLARK.

C. F. JACKSON, Esq.

FAYETTE, September 14, 1840.

SIR: I have a few moments since received your note of this date.

The interview demanded ean be had. My friend. Dr. Scott. is now absent ; on his return he will attend to arranging the prelimina- ries necessary on my part. Yours, ete.,

C. F. JACKSON.

FAYETTE, September 15, 1840.

Sin: In compliance with the note of my friend C. F. Jackson, Esq., of yesterday, I herewith enclose you the terins, the time and place, that my friend proposes to give General Clark in the interview invited by him.

1. The parties to meet at six o'clock to-morrow morning, within one mile of the town of Fayette, the place to be selected by you and myself this evening.

2. The parties to be armed with rifles, with calibres to carry balls weighing not less than fifty-six to the pound.

3. The distance to be seventy yards.

4. The parties to take their stations in the position of " present arms."

5. After the parties shall have taken their respective stations, the word " fire" shall be given immediately, after which the words "one." " tico," "three" shall be given, and between the word- " fire" and " three," the parties shall fire ; the giving of the word to be balloted for by you and myself.

6. No persons to be admitted upon the grounds except the see- onds and surgeons. - Respectfully,

A. LEONARD, Esq.

C. R. SCOTT.

FAYETTE, September 15, 1840.

DEAR SIR: I have no objection to the terms proposed in your letter to me of this evening, with the exception of the " place."

HISTORY OF HOWARD AND CHARITON COUNTIES. 319

I cannot consent to advise my friend to meet Mr. Jackson at any place in this state. So far as the knowledge of the practice of this state in matters of this kind extends, the place proposed is unusual and without precedent. Such a meeting would subjeet both principal and friends to penalties and inconveniences that may be readily avoided by a meeting elsewhere.

I hope, therefore, that it will meet your views to name a place not liable to the objections suggested. Yours respectfully,

A. LEONARD. DR. C. R. SCOTT.

FAYETTE, September 15, 1840.

SIR : I have noted the contents of your note of this day's date, and cannot consent to any alteration in the place of meeeting pro- posed in my former communication. Respectfully yours,

C. R. SCOTT.

A. LEONARD.

TO THE PUBLIC.

I pronounce Claiborne F. Jackson a cold-blooded slanderer, a reclaimless seoundrel and a blustering coward, the truth of which 1 pledge myself to establish the moment my engagements will permit me sufficient leisure. I will take the same occasion to render to my fellow-citizens the most ample explanation in relation to a letter alleged to have been written by me to Colonel Birch, on the 9th of July last. JOHN B. CLARK.

WEDNESDAY, September 16, 1840.

CHAPTER XVI

PHYSICAL AND GEOLOGICAL FEATURES.

The area of Howard county is about 463 square miles, with a frontage on the Missouri river on the west and south of thirty-four miles.

It originally consisted nearly altogether of timber, with two small upland and two bottom prairies, which have long since been under tribute to the husbandman. The bluff's near Glasgow rise to a height of 260 feet above average water mark in the Missouri ; and this probably is about the general elevation of the highlands through- out the county. The river bluffs at the western border of the coun- ty, are steep and sometimes perpendicular, but on the southern border are more gentle. The streams often pursue their way 150 feet below the tops of the ridges, and the valleys are connected with the ridges by long and very easy slopes.

The southern portion of the county is not as hilly as some other districts. We have near the Missouri some steep bluff's with white oak growth. Near the Bonne Femme and south of Fayette for several miles extending to the Missouri bluff's, is a tract of rich, rolling, heavily timbered land, including many varieties of excellent timber. such as white, red and rock chestnut oak, black walnut, elin, hickory. white walnut, ash and linden. Southeastwardly from Fayette, is a similar country, and also westwardly, to Glasgow, but here it is more hilly.

Towards Boonsboro, and west, an occasional sharp and crooked ridge occurs, covered with a heavy growth of chiefly white oak.

The northwestern part of the county sustains a growth of timber similar to that lying south, but the country is not so hilly, and in fact, the slopes are quite gentle.

The northeastern part of the county is broken and hilly, and sustains chiefly a growth of white and post oak.

Black and white walnut are very abundant, being very common over most of the county. Blue ash and sassafras abound, this county being almost the western limit of the former in north Missouri. The spice bush ( Laurus benzoin ), is common on the Missouri bottoms, but dog-wood ( Cornus florida ), is rare, and is not probably found

(320)

HISTORY OF HOWARD AND CHARITON COUNTIES.

further west. Many of the trees on the ridges, including walnut, white oak, red oak and rock chestnut oak, attain a great size. One of the latter measured thirteen feet three inches in circumference, three feet above the ground. This tree was on the Missouri bluffs ; in the bottoms, cottonwood, elm and sycamore grow to a very large size.

The principal streams in the eastern part of the county, are Mon- iteau creek ( Manitou) with its tributaries, and Bonne Femme. This last rises about the middle of township 52, range 15 west, and flowing in a southerly direction, empties into the Missouri about three miles below Boonville, Cooper county. The principal tributary of Moniteau creek in this county, is Hunger's Mother, * which heads in the north- west part of township 51, range 14 west; and the principal one of Bonne Femme is Salt Fork, rising in the southeastern part of town- ship 52, range 15, and flowing southwest empties into the Bonne Femme in the northwest quarter of section 30, township 51, range 15.

Other streams flowing southward, are Salt Creek and Sulphur Creek, and those running westward, are Richland, Hurricane, Gregg's and Bear ereeks and Doxy's Fork. They all run into the Missouri, and some of the smaller ones on entering the bottom, waste their waters on the flats and are lost.

* This stream, it is said. received its name from a party of hunters, early settlers, who were hunting bears, and meeting with no success, got out of meat on this creek. Bad weather came upon them, and they were prevented from hunting, and threatened with star- vation. They therefore christened the creek "Hunger's Mother."

LIST OF COAL BANKS.

In the following list there are many localities given at which the coal is too thin to work, but it must be remembered that the coal beds mentioned are only those that are exposed or very near the sur- face at each locality. Except in the cases where the lowest coal (E) is mentioned, there is every probability of finding a thicker bed by sinking shafts. Coal is found in every township, and in some of them, in nearly every section.
