Green had done more than any other man in Missouri to break down the power of Thomas H.Benton as a leader of the Democracy.

His arraignment of Benton before the people of Missouri in 1849, when he was but thirty-two years of age, was one of the most aggressive and successful warfares in our political annals.

His premature death was a loss to the country.

It would be unjust to the senators and representatives in Congress to leave the impression that their unavailing efforts at conciliating the South were any thing more or less than a compliance with a popular demand which overspread the free States.

This was especially true in the Middle States, and to a very considerable extent in New England.
