•easily has prevented the reparation of that
great national injustice.
But I iorbeur, I will not longer trespass upon '
your patience or further tax my own voice,
impaired by a speech of more than throe hours’
duration, which professional duty required me |
to make only a few days ago. If I have been
at all successful in the exposition of the views
and opinions which I entertain,l have shown—
-Ist. That the present war was brought
about by the annexation of Texas and the sub
sequent order of the President, without the
previous consent and authority of Congress.
2d. That the president, being unenlighten
ed and nninstructed by any public declaration
of Congrcss,as to the objects for which it ought
to be prosecuted, in the conduct of it is neces- '
sarily left to his own sense of what the na
tional interests and honor may require.
3d. That the whole war-making power of
.the nation, as to motives, causes, and objects,
i» confined by the Constitution to the discre
tion and judgment of Congress.
4th, That it is, therefore, the right of Con
gress, at the commencement or during the
progress of any M ar, to declare for what objects
and purposes the war ought to be waged and
prosecuted.
sth. That it is the right and duty of Con
gress to announce to the nation for what ob
jects the present war shall be longer continued;
that it is the duty of the President, in the ex
orcise of all his official functions, to conform to
and carry out this declared will of Congress, by
the exercise, if necessary, of all the high
powers with which he is clothed; and if he fail
or refuse to do so, it becomes the imperative
duty of Congress to arrest the further progress
of the war by the most effectual means in its
power.
Let Congress announce to the nation the ob
jects for which this war shall be further pro
tracted, and public suspense and public inquie- i
tude will no longer remain. If it is to be a
war of conquest of all, or any part of Mexico,
Jet the people know it, and they will be no
longer agitated by a dark and uncertain fu- I
ture. But although I might have forborne to
express any opinion whatever as to purposes
and ob ects for which thewar should be continu
ed, I have not thought proper to conceal my
opinions, whether worth any thing or not, from
the public examination. Accordingly X have
stated.
6th. That it seems to me that it is the duty |
of our country,as well on the score ofmodcra- j
tion and magnanimity, as with the view of
avoiding discontent at home, to abstain from
•«eking to conquer and annex to the United
States, Mexico or any part of it; and especial
ly to disabuse the public mind in any quarter
of the Union of the impression, if it any where i
exists, that a desire for conquest is cherished
for the purpose of propagating or extending
•larery.
1 have embodied, Mr. President and fellow
citizens, the sentiments and opinions which I
have endeavored to explain and enforce in a
series of resolutions, which I beg now to sub
mit to your consideration and judgment.
[Mr. Clay here introduced the resolutions
which we have heretofore published.]
After reading the resolutions and handing them
to the Secretary, Mr. Clay concluded by apo
logizing for the length of time which he had
trespassed upon the meeting, and thanking the j
ladies and gentlemen, most cordially, for the
honor done him by their attendance on this
occasion, and the profound attention with
which they had attended to him.
Note by the Editors. —The speech was often
interrupted by bursts of applause, and both
at its commencement and conclusion, there
was tremendous cheering.
Augusta, (Georgia.
SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 28. ~
present to our readers to-day Mr. I
Clay’s Lexington Speech. It is pronounced ,
authentic by the Baltimore Patriot. We pre- 1
mine therefore that it has received the care
ful revision of its author, and that every pro
position contained in it is deliberately laid
.down and submitted to the American peo
ple.
We invito a careful examination of this
speech, reserving our own comments for the
present. Mr. Clay’s hopes for the Presidency
hang upon the issues made in his speech,—?
Much of his fame for statesmanship and pat
riotism is involved in it. Wc do not think
j
that it will acquire for him additional reputa
tion as a statesman. We confess that wc
think that the civic wreath that his patriotic |
labors in times past has won fqr Blrq, wljl
suffer some tarnish from this electioneering
effort. Such wo believe will be the verdict of
the American people.
Jack Frost made his appearance in our
city yesterday morning, for the first time this

wished a safe conduct to Vera Cruz, where j
he wished to resume his clerical garb, and be

Gen. Patterson that he could proceed to Vera

The Arco Iris of the Bth, publishes a letter
from its correspondent at Julapa. Wc trans
late a portion of it:
1 have a letter from Querctaro of the 20th of
October, [this is two days later than otrr
mer direct advices.—*[E/s. Pic, ] from which I
learn that there were seventy-one deputies ,
then in the city, although some of them were
ill. But it is known that several others were
on their way thither, and it is believed that
there would very shortly be a sufficient num
ber there to open the session. The first busi
ness would be the election of a provincial 1
President of the Republic, for which post the
following gentlemen were coudidates: Sr. j
Pena y Pena, Gen. Herrera and Gen. Almonte. <
They write me that news has reached them of
designs formed in the city of Mexico by the
stock-jobbers, those bloodsuckers of the nation, I
who perceiving that they cannot now intro- j
duce a monarchy into Mexico—for there is
nobody who would be willing to purchase the (
war, and govern the nation without its sym
pathies—propose to form two great States and
to annex them to the American Union. But
as this design of these vampires is only to
enable them to enjoy it] peace the fruits of their
rapine, the nation will look with indignation
upon these schemes, and will rather be at onoe
annihilated than voluntary consent to the loss
of its independence which has cost so much *
blood. The paper called the Razonador, cer- I
tainl yby contradiction of terms, is the one !
which maintains the opinions of this new party,
and is paid for it by these men of the stock .

of the forces which the Mxicans now have in !

Gen. Taylor had not arrived at Mutamoras
at last accounts. He Mas to leave Monterey
on the Sth inst.
The health of Matamoros was improving and
the fever fast disappearing.
The following items we extract from the
Matamoros Flag of the 10th inst. :
Another Rumor. —The rumor among the
Mexicans now is, that four of the Mexican
States (San Luis Potosi, Zacetecas, Durango,
and one other not named) have declared in fa
vor of the monarchical scheme of Paredes, and
united, have preferred him 18,000 troops to
I carry out his designs. A son of Itnrbidc is
fixed upon to be raised to the throne, and
European intervention is said to be confident
ly calculated upon to place him there and
maintain the authority of the crown. The
Mexicans in this quarter are said to be very
hostile to this rumored movement, and to ex
press themselves as being ready to join with
the troops of the United States to prevent
; such a consummation.
Prospects of Business.—Two gentlemen,
merchants of Zaceteces came passengers yes
terday on the steamer Tom Kirkman, bringing
, with them two tons of silver, principally in
bars, from the mine of Zacetecas and Durango,
received there in exchange for goods. Other
merchants from Saltillo, with one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, came passengers on the
same boat, A good portion of this metal will
doubtlpss find its way legitimately into thp
pockets of our merchants, which will be sensi
bly felt by all classes of people hero.

Sand’s Sarsaparilla-
Light, the beautifier of the maternal world, is no
less necessary to the vegitable than the animal
kingdom. It gives coloring and perfume to the
leaves and flowers, and their medicinal properties to
the herbs and plants and roots, which science has
converted in the means of relieving suffering and
prolonging life. Ligh; nourishes them—light dis
closes them to the eye of the botanist or pharma
copist—and light, the light of experimental philos
ophy, enables him to produce from them the most i
valuable remedies and lestoratives. In this clas.
we claim a prominent position for Sands’ Sarsapas
rilia. The tree is known by : ts fruits and this pre
paration by its effects. We only condense into a
few words the voluminous testimony of thousands
when we say that, favored by the smiles of Prov
idence, it is an unfailing remedy for every species
of ulcerous disease, from scrofula, that cruel mutil
ator of the human form, to the common boil.—
Eruptions, also, from erysipelas to the ordinary
pimples and blotches which so frequently disfigure i
thejmost attractive, features are easily removed by
a few bottles of this invaluable antiseptic.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets
which may be obtained of agents gratis.

This may certify that in August of this present

had in all seventeen different spells, bleeding on an
average from half a glass to half a pint at a time, I

country, and received but partial relief during his
attendance. I was all this time suffering with a
severe cough, spitting of blood, Ac. I tried various !
remedies but all without success, until, by the ad- ;
vice of my friends, I tried Dr. VVistar’s Balsam of
Wild Cherry, and to my great relief, in three days
time ray cough was so loosened that I raised with
perfect ease, the pain and soreness haying been
entirely removed from my stomach and lungs. I
am now taking my second bottle, and niy health is
rapidly improving. I haye since ridden thirty-five

LATEST DATES FROM LIVERPOOL NOV. 4
LATEST P4TKS niOM IJATKK, OCT. 31
CHARLESTON, Nov. 27.—• Colton. —The mar
ket since our report of the 20th inst., may be said
to haye bppn brought to a stand, so little has been
done in the article. On Saturday last operations
were almost entirely suspended, as purchasers
were unwilling to go on at the advance reported
that morning, which the somewhat extensive ope
rations—when compared with the limited supply
on salc»Thad established towards the close of the
previous week. On Monday we received unfavo
rable accounts from the other side, per the steamer
Acadia, and throughout the week just brought to a
close, the C’ptton market has been in a very lan
guid condition, owing to the derangement in mo
netary affairs, tpid the contention that has been
carried on from day today among dealers in rela
tion to prices. Purchasers have been contending
for a beayy epneession on the prices just prior i
to the arrival of these advices, while holders, in
consequence of the very light receipt* and the limi
ted supply on the market, have refused to yield to
the extent of their demands, and hence the few
operations, which, during the week do not exceed
800 bales, and how lopg the latter pan maintain
their present position remains to hq spen. Os the
sales noticed above, some 300 bales w ere sold yes
terday, about 120 bales of which were fair quali
ty and brought /|c. The transactions of the week
have been at extremes ranging from 6£ to Tj. the
saner price for a lot cf 50 bags cn Saturday l*3t. It
r is impossible in the prescqt position of affairs to give
I quotations. The receipts since our last foot up
3646 bales. Thert h»ve been no transactions iu
| Long Cotton since our last.
Corn. —The receipts continue light, and former
prices for country Corn have been sustained. The
business done in thas inscription has been confined
to small parcels. There was an arrival of 2400
bushels new North Carolina, the first cago that has
reached our market this season, and was gold in the
neighborhood of 72c. per bushel. Received per
Rail Road 2783 bushels.
So/t.—-Received since our last 3100 sacks, w hich
were sold on arrival at $1 0G per sack. The supply
on sale is in few hands, and is held at prices rang
ing within quoted rates.
Freights. —There are several vessels loading for
both Liverpool and Havre, they make however,
slow progress in completing their cargoes. We
quote to the former |dfor Cotton in square bags
and to the latter sc. There is very little freight
offering for coastwise shipment—and tbe quotations
of the previous week are almost nominal. New York
50c per bale; and 37£c. per tierce for Rice; Boston
O-IGths for Cotton; and $1 per tierce for Rice.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.— Colton. —The market j
for this article since our last has continued depres- !
sed and unsettled, and since the arrival of the Aca
dia, prices have further receded £ of a cent per lb. i
—we reduce our quotations accordingly. The con
tinued openness of the sea>on, with a promise of a 1
full average crop, the unfavorable accounts from |
abroad, and a stringent money market, all tend to i
induce dullness, and as for some time past, prices
continue to decline, they being now £ a cent per
lb. lower than at the departure of the Washing- |
ton, and fj a | lower than at the sailing of the Cale- j
donia. The sales since our last are 2,900 bales, of
which 1,300 bales were Upland and Florida, thus :
Inferior, none ; ordinary to good ordinary, a 6£c,
middling to good middling, G| a
to fair, 1A a 7£ ; fully fair to good fair, 8 a 81c ; fine,
