From the Correspondence of the Georgia Telegraph.
Upson County, Jan. 21, 1847.
Mr. Ray:—1 have just read with feel
ings of pleasure and pride, the excellent
letter of Gen. Ciss upon the subject of
territorial indemnity from Mexico, and the
Wilmot Proviso. I I had looked with some
anxiety (orati expression of the sentiments
of that well tried, old fashioned republi
can, and distinguished statesman in rela'-
tion lo these queaions, yet never doubted
that upon them, as upon all other ques
tions’ involving constitutional principles,
he would be found right side up.
The democracy of the Solrth may ex-
uitingly Sold up the names of Dallas, Cass,
Buchanan, Dickinson &c., as Northern
Democrats upon whom they may rely;
and d«fy the federal party to produce
from tlfcir ranks an equal number of dis-
tingnisied names who occupy the same
ground!at the North. Where are their
northern leaders—their senators Or repre
sentatives in Congress, who it they enter
tain, da re avow sitcli doctrines so con
genial with Southern interests? We
challenge them to make out their list, or
cease to call the Wilmot Proviso a Dem
ocratic measure. Or if they do not that
in fut.qrc, I hope they will remember that
Mr. Webster openly contests with Wil
mot the paternity of the measure; con
tends that he is the real author of it, and
claims all the lienor of that brilliant idea
for himself and his party.
Until they make the showing to which
they are here challenged. I deem it per
fectly safe to make the assertion that the
hopes of the South, next to itself, rest
upon the Northern Democracy. That
our safely depends mainly upon our own
union and firmness, is undoubtedly true,
hut every Southerner should know from
whom he may expect succor in an emer
gency. And what reasons, have been af
forded by any public developments, that
any reliance can be placed upon the feder
al party at thchjorlh ? None whatever!—
On the contrary their leaders are nearly
all committed, lo some extent, to the
policy of the abolitionists—or par excel
lence the liberty party, and dare not even
if they would, oppose them. But, in the
ranks’of the Northern Democracy, may
he found a host following the lead of the
bright galaxy of the names mentioned
above, ready to do battle for the constitu
tion and the Union. Bill why shall we
bandy words with the Whigs of the South
about Northern friends, or dart straws
against the machinations of the abolition
ists in the free States ? Every one who
liarf attentively observed the progress of
abolition, must he sensible that the time is
rapidly approaching when we shall have
lo grapple and" fight them on our own soil.
Is it not manifest that the infection is now
rankling in Southern bosoms? Strange
as it would. seem, it .is ririveriheless too
obvious to he misunderstood—it is so un
derstood by northern abolitionists them
selves. They boast of the progress their
principles are making in the South. Am
I asked for the manifestations of this pro
gress of anti-slavery principles at the
franked by SorilBefri Whig members, in
which lie defends and justifies the position
which lie has taken, side by side with
John Quincy Adams on that question.—
Yet, so lar as I have seen, or heard, no'
murmur of disapprobation has escaped,
the lips or the pens of Southern Whigs!
His reasons are quite satisfactory to them.
No matter how he voles in Congress, pro
vided he votes with them for president.
Again: Alex. H. Stephens has boldly
proclaimed his abhorence of the institu
tion of slavery, yet ho is s'ustakYc-d by
Georgia Whigs and sent to represent the
interests of the State on the floor where
these interests are to he repeatedly as
sailed by his own political associates.
But if he will vote right, according to
their notion, for President, they will risk
the consequences of his votes in Congress!
Above all however, in importance is
the evidence afforded by the fact, that
Henry Clay, the great “ Embodiment” of
Whiggery, recently received the plaudits
of a Kentucky auditory upon the delivery
of an anti-slavery speech. This speech
receives the approbation of Georgia
Whigs !—Should he he the nominee of
their parly for president, he will get their
votes notwithstanding he has in that
speech inflicted upon the peculiar inter
ests of the Soufh the severest blow that
has been aimed at them. It is now evi
dent that Cassius M. Clay, when shoulder
to shoulder with our own Senator Berrien,
upon a Boston platform, making abolition
speeches was in fact speaking by authori
ty of the great leader hiiriseli. I regard
this movement of Mr. Clay and his South
ern friends, as fraught with more peril to
the South than all that could he satif (ST
done by all the Adams’ Slades, Garrisons,
or Giddings in Christendom, so long as
they keep within their own territory. But
here are Southern men and slaveholders
gently—very gently indeed—infusing the
doctrines into the minds of their follow
ers, and the effects are becoming obvious.
Those who a short time ago, and I know
an instance near me, who were in favor
of organizing slicking clubs, and commit
ting to Judge Lynch the abjudication of
all such heinous misdemeanors as are re
cited above, now say Mr. Clay is right
From the Federal Union.-
THE VOICE OF OUR ARMY IN
Mexico. Hfc
The “ Free American,” of the Slrt of
December, a paper published by some of
our countrymen ifi t-he city of Vera Cru£,
in on account of a Supper given by the Lou*
isiana Volunteers to Col. -Stiles says: ' ^

Is it strange* that Gen’ Twiggs should
have uttered such a sentimSnt 1 Is it str.an.ge
that his toast “expresses the feelings of the
whole army I” Our countrymen went to
Mexico, not at the bidding of the President
or of his t partv, but at the call of thfjrxoun*

In the camp, and on the battle-field, theV

been crimsoned with the heart’s blood of
those, who near and dear to them, they
have consigned, as they . supposed to an
honored grave. They bad fancied that all
was endured for the maintenance of their
country’s honor, and in defence of her inal-.
