From Ihe Tallahassee Journal.
One who has read the so called Organ of the P'<sid nl Tor
llte litft vt ral weeks is brought to the conclusion that the
JUitor regards Mr. /i t(chic as a far more important personage
than Mr. Polk, and the W ashingtivn Union as a matter id
tnaiensely p oster interest than .1 Democratic Administration.
We look to its editorials, and we find column alter column
not indeed ol argument* against the Opposition hut of denun
ciation of the Senate. VV here we would expect to read vin
dications of the 1 resident we are overwhelmed abuse ol
Mr. Hit chit' 9 opponents. Mr. Polk if mentioned £ all is
placed in the hark ground to heighten the effect promiced by
die prominent object in lire painting, tq wit: Mr. Ritchio
himself, ft is all the white, Fgo et mcim-rex. If we go far
ther, to the pages 0 f selected matter, we have dathtie* oQhe*
game character served up there, iliff* ring from thAi-”
loriaU. •! at all, only in the rirhness grossoest !) ofwir
flavor. Den. Jackson, thu runs Mr. Ritchi ■’§ choice ex
ir.K lg, was unco censured by the Senate, n I the world i* fil
|ej with iris fame —and Mr. VKni Horen was rejected hy the
hime body when nominated as Minister to Kr.gl.nd, aid he
became President of the United States. YVliat may not, then,
Mr. Rit( hie become? The or at least the Vico
Pnsidency is Mr. R. The gentleman in ques
tion, w itli the gentlest disclaimer in the world, of Ida own
claims to greatness —hr true rn*rit is always modest pub
lishes all the laud itiona however fulsome w hich he can scrape
together, as the Spiritjf a I'rcc Pres*.
As for running Mr. Ritchie for the N ice Presidency, he it
known to one and all “go in for it,”— subject —not ‘
indeed to the decision of a Baltimore Convention, hut to the
condition that Robinson, who was a year since expelled from
t ie Senate Chamber for a libel, shall he the candidate for the
Presidency—and with the understanding that the Tribune
reporter expell and from the House of Rppres ntatives, shall he
male Secretary of State. When these two persons, for less
“lienees than that of the Union, fell under the censure of’
Congress, neither Mr. Ritchie nor one of his sa'elifes discov
ered that the ••Liberty of the Press” was violated. Hypoc
risy where is thy Mush! Was it because one of these was
conn rted with a Whig pre-s, and the other the editor of a
pa| er vvi h little influence, that those who are now filling the
land with lamentations were then silent as stones ? We had
supposed that genuine sympathy looked not to names—and
lather had respect to the weak than the strong.
Hut after all. what is it th.it the Senate has done to pall
down upon itself the awful ire of Mr. Ritchie. Phe Union
published Senators as traitors to lhe.ii Country / The Sen
ate, whether wisely or no, we rare not to say. withdraws
from Mr. Ritchie a privilege whi* h its courtesy had extended
to him, of a seat on the floor of the chamber; leaving him to
betake himself, with the fifteen hundred other editors of the
country t ’be gallery, when inclined to enjoy the debates.
The very head and font of their off*, riding,
Hath this extent, no more.
Mr. Ritchie for publishing a gms and palpable libel —so
offensive that the boldest has not had the hardihood to defend
it is degrad'd to a level with the rest of the editorial frater
nity—is put on a footing with Iho editors of the Richmond
Enquirer. National Intelligencer, Charleston Merrurv nr.d
New Orleans Picayune! And for thus docking his superflu
ous dignity a war unrelenting as thit which he advocates
against the Mexicans is to be waged upon the Senate.
Now in the names of all the gods at once
Upon what meat doth rhis our Crosat feed,
That he hath grown so great.
Really this effort of the Union Editor (birked by others)
so show himself off* as a martyr, is the most supremely ridicu
lous farce that lias excited the world’s laughter for years.—
We most sincerely hope for the sake of the Union itself, the
most prominent of all the democratic papers, tf> sav nothing
of the credit of the press generally that we shall bear nothing
more of it. For rightly considering it, we know not how mv
one ran think it a veny horrible thing that Mr. Ritchie shonld
le placed in the same position as those edto r ß who have itt
ver libelled the Senate.
From the Savannah Republican.
Fmf.iqbth ox PuonucF..— We notice in the Umvfile Pi
oneer some complaint - in regard to the recent advance of
freights on the RaiUKoads extending into the Cherokee coun
try. The Charleston Cttnrier also contains a letter from Al
pine, Georgia, on the same subject, from which we mike the
following extracts:
••If the Ka l-Koad Companies in Carolina and Georgia Had
♦ cfed with judgTient, Utnr'e-t ui an l Savannah could fur- ,
nUh a large quantity ol Corn from the up-country for ship
ment, the only difficulty is the gnat advance on the f
had it not hern for the advance, Corn and Wheat could have
bc* n brought from the head of the Mussel Shoals on the Ten.
nos see, and high up that liver as well as from a wide circle
in middle Tennessee.
* It shonld he the policy of our State, and other Rail-Roads
to lix a low freight on our Corn, Oats. Wheat,Coal, Pig an l
Wrought iron an I other products of the soil, so t >ar our far- 1
me sand merchants could convey t iese anicles to the sei
boa id, and thence to the markets of the world, as ohtap as a 1
any point on the Atlantic—this would enatm the farmer and
merchant to buy his supply in your markets, and and necessa
ry pav high freight Up, so as to make a good business for the
Kill R >ads.
•*lt we cannot get our produce to market on such terms ns
will enable us to compete with other sections of the United
(Slates, we cannot he buyers—and if this neither can or will
he done, the Carolina and Georgia Kail-Roads were made in
vain lor our advantage and purposes, hut will very wtffl mi
swpi for the Stales above us. inasmuch as they now get their
up freights three quarters less thin they did by the old route,
and can send then produce to market as they have done here
tofore, hy ttie Tennessee and Mismsbisstppi rivers.”
At the first blush, these complaints may appear to be found
ed in reason, hut we are inclined to suppoes that, upon a mo
ment’s reflection, even our friends in Cheiokee will see that
no injustice has been done them, and tint the R id- Ka l
companies have acted properly. While the price of produce
in the Atlantic markets was low. it was proper that lire Road,
should carry the corn, wheat, flour, Ac.,of the Cherokee far
mers at slight profits—nay, even at cost —and they did so;
but now w hen corn tluough ail that region commands double
un i even treble the price formerly obtained, is it not and ,
propel the stockholders ol the Roads—the men who have ex
pended millions for the accornniod.ilion of these very farmers,
should share at let!'! a portion of the profits?
We recently conversed with a well known gentleman fiotn
Case county, who, if wo in stake not, was formerly hh anti- 1
Kcffl-Roud man, and he said unhesitatingly that he would
lather pay one thousand d> liars annually in the shape of tax
es to the State than be deprived of the advantages enj >yedon
account of these Roads. Ho further addc 1. that he nad then
in his possession, some thirty-one hundred dollars received
for corn that and *y sold in Htvannah, winch would not have
been worth one thousand ddlurs to him even at ihe precent
prices, had it not been for the lacihffesof getting it to market
by the R iI-Roads ! Com even now, according to the Chat*
tanooga Guzctte, i- s< Ibng at 20 a 25 cents on the hanks of
the Tennessee liver, while ah ng the Nate Road it is worth
45 a 65 cents per bushel, and yet wo hear these unceasing
coiitpl dots about the advance of a few cents in freights, when
the Roads even at the in reamed rates, realize only a nominal
pwfi . Verily out country It lends se**in bird to please.—
They wish the cities and the Rail Roads not only to construct
the high wavs, but to bring the produce to maiket for nothing,
lly and by, we presume, they wiH require us to purchase the
lands, mage ihu corn, and pay them lor the puviloge of see
ing it grown ;.

lie may a tually have fought a btitle to sustain himself, hi

1 >enl to Mexico to negotiate that treaty, or to sign it as envoy

so agreeably and in conformity to the instructions of the Siate

Uhu case of an -envoy to Mexico ie indeed * peculiar one;

‘There is a manifest disposition on the part of the Democrat
ic party of Georgia, or at least portion of them, to throw Mr.
1 Culhoun over hoard. ‘They ore in the daily liuhit of speaking
in the most disparaging language of him; nnd the press gen
| eruliv, in very significant, though at the same time in cautious
terms, disapprove the position which ho lias assumed in oppo-
siffon to tho administhition. A few of the democratic papers,
who are every thing for party, him] reckless of the lultire, de-
I nntinr.e him in unmeasured and unqualified phrases. May, lie
has formally aid solemnly, hy resolution, hern read out of the
great Democratic Church, hy a meeting at Athens, which, cv
j era.thing considered, wo suppose is to tie regarded us oracular,
f 11 nicef >i th, Mr. Culhoun is not to he regard'd as a democrat,
in the. Georgia acceptation of the w ord. Our democratic friends
around us, prefer claiming the affinity mid alliance of such
inert as Wright, Cass, and Buchanan, Ac., who, although of
the orthodox democratic school, yet are avowedly opposed to
the South in a point essentially vital to its welfare nnd exist
ence, to the champion of Slate Rights and Southern Institu
’ lions. Os such n preference we have nothing to sav. A fierce
war, not of arms but of tongues, is to he waged ut no distant
day; and .Northern and Southern politicians, irrespective of all
i oilier considerations, are lo take sides, ami conduit lor the rnns
• lery on the one cardinal and absorbing subject— slavery. —
There is no avoiding, no postponing the issue beyond the en
i suing session of Congress. In nil probability, a treaty of peace
will be concluded between Mexico uud the United Slates, be
fore the meeting of the next Congress, nnd the three millions
raised for that purpose, wi I have been appropriated to ihe ac
quisition of territory. Then the momentous question arises.
Shull the people of the South he restricted from settling all
such newly acquired territory, with their slaves. ‘The North
will take a decided ond undivided stand when the question is
raised; and the democratic parly of Georgia, will have to side
with either Northern Democrats, who are opposed to their pe
culiar institutions, or wiih Mr. Calhoun and his immediate ‘
friends, who are to take the lend in battling foi Southern rights J
With Mr. Culbouu, much as we ndinira hint ns a man, as a
politician, we have no feeling in common; hut ns a Southern
man, the bold, undaunted champion of the South, we shall,
w hen the hour of need comes,in common with ull other South
ern men of every degree and party, hail him wild jov as an uux
j ilia ry in sustaining a cause, which to us is paramount to every
other.
Whether our democratic friends in Georgia, put the same
estimate upon the services of the distinguished Carolinian, or !
whether they will he deterred, from considerations of porty,ol
availing themselves of those services when they w ill he want
ed, we cannot say. In fact, we are entirely at a loss to account
for the singularly anomalous conduct of the democratic party
: in Georgia, in persisting to claim an alliance with Noitiiern
Democrats, who are confessedly nnd openly opposed to thcii
, dearest and most invaluable interests.
At a recent meeting of the citizens of Charleston, held to
welcome. Mr. Calhoun heck to his native State,sundry resolu
tions were adopted ; among others the following :
Is/. Resolved , That in the opinion of this meeting,a FiihmU’
; sioti to tlip proposed exclusion from an equality of benefits, in
! the territories of the United States, beyond what is already!
yielded by the Missouri Compromise, would bo unwise, dau
! gerous. dishonorable, and debasing.
| ltd. Resolved, That this is a question paramount to nil ron-
I siderations of party, as mefe temporal v policy,Ond that lie who
i falters, and, Esau like, barters bis l.iith-rislit fora mess ofpoi
tag'?, is recreant to ihe memory of the past, to his duly in the
i present, and a traitor to posterity.
‘3d. Resolved. That tiffs meeting cordially respond to the ,
Resolutions lately passed by the House of Oelecatesin the
State of Virginia—that they hereby reiterate the same and a
dopt them, us expressing not only the sense of this meeting,
and of Chariest >n District,but, as they believe, of the State of j
South Carolina, ond, as they confidently hope, of the whom:
South.
‘I hey furthermore reiterate!!, nod adopted the resolutions
recently passed by the Virginia I egislatuie, two of which read
as follows: j
lie it resolved unauimostsly hy the General Asscvd.ly of 17r
•jinia, That the Government of the United Slates has no ern
trol, directly or indirect!*, mediately nr immediately, over the
institution of slavery ; nnd that, in taking any such control, it
transcends the limits of its legitimate, functions hy destroying
the interna! organization of the sovereignties who created it.
2. Resolved, unanimously. That under no circumstances
will this body recognize as binding any enactment of the Fed
eral Government which has for its object the prohibition of
slavery in any territory to be acquired either by conquest or
treaty ; holding it robe the nuturul and indefeasible right of
each and everv citizen of each and every State of the Uonfed
eracv.to reside w-itli Lis property, ol whatever description, in
any territory which may be acquired Uv the arms of the United i
States, or yielded by treaty with any foreign power.
Now is there any thing in these resolutions, to wbfeb o Geor
gia Democrat can except? And vet so perverse and inexplica
ble, is the course of the patty,that we are not to be surprised 1
at flnv result.
The amendment To the Oregon 1 ill, which passed the Inst j
Cotigress, contained n provision in direct opposition to the let- ,
tei nnd spirit of the nhove resolutions, and vet every Democrat
ic member of the delegation from Georgia, w ith the honcrcd
exception of Mr. Towns, voted for the bill containing n propo
sition, be it remembered, which admits the power of the fed
-1 *ral Government, to prohibit slavery permanently in any anti
all tin territory of the I niled States.
This was a most extraordinary vote. ‘The democratic pres
ses hnve not said a w ord in palliation of it, and w ith most pru -
dential caution, refrained, with n single exception, from nnv
expressions condemnatory of ilffa uni:-Souhei o procccJure on

Dir. Benton nml flip Pi'osidrnt.
The correspondence between the President nnd \lr. Benton,
which will be found in tiffs papfr, announces the fact that Mr.
Benton declines the commission of Major (• neral. The let- 1
ter of the would be commander-in-chief, is altogether charsc- 1
teriatic of him. Asa preliminary, in anticipation of the offer
of the commission, he makes a stipulation to the Tiesident,
tliaf he vested with plenary power, military aa well
: as diplomatic; iu other words, that lie should supersede Soon,
j Taylor, Butter ami Pntteraon, the senior Major Generals, nmi
| have full authority, with three millions of money in hand, to
either buy or conquer a peace, as lie might think proper.
Such a proposal could emanate from no one else than TfidM
-4s Hakt Benton. The arrogance ami presumption which
marks the whole proceedings, are of a pie. e with his general
deportment. We sec from the papers, that since the adjourn
ment of Congress, his pomposity mid superciliousness had he
come insufferable. Dictating to the departments, hectoring
ihe official*, nnd maiuf sting a disposition even to overawe the
I Executive; he was making hinisdl not only supremely ridiru
j lous,hut most inconveniently annoying. We have no doubt,
that the President and all Iris officials,congratulate thetrueivcf
most heartily, that they have got rid of*noli a troublesome ad
herent. That the public-rejoices hi the result of this long pro
jected piece of chicanery, t lie mnin object of which was, to
wrest from the gallant ‘Taylor and Lit* brave companions, the
fruits of their splendid achievements, and thus suppress tl.eir
growing popularity, no one doubts.
That Mr. Benton, instead of extricating ns from our difficul
ties, would hate involved iin still farther, cither through his
agency as a military chieftain, or as a diplomatist, the people
generally believe, and the country at large, equally with Mr.
Folk, linn good reason to felicitate itself, dial Mr. Benton is
not to play the pmt which Ins selfish ambition bad laid out for
! him. •

WASHINGTON, March i) 1817.
Sin—l have given to your letter of ihe 6th non., the con
sideration which its importance demands. In tendeiing to
you the appointment of Major General in the army, I car
next I v desired that ttie country should have the advantage ol
your conndtd ability and military knowledge. your intimate
1 acquaintance with the Mexican character, and your fjmilia i
tv w ith their lancuage and poli'iral condition.
Immediately af er your nomination as Major General had
been unanimously confirmed by the Senate. I cart lolly exam
ined the question whether I had the power to designate you
—a junior Maj >r General—to the chief command ol the army
in ihe field. The rcMilt of this examination is, I tun con
strained to say. a settled conviction on my m ud that such
power has not hern cons rrtd upon me by the existing laws
i am fully sensible of the exalted patriotism w hich could
done have induced you to make the peison.il sacrifices to
which you would be subjected in assuming even the chi* 1 1
command of the army in Mexico; an I I duly appreciate the
reasons you have as igned. and which may, 1 fear. prevent
you from accepting \ our appointment as Major General. If
on further reilection, such should be your deciaion, 1 shall
learn it wi h deep regret.

An old lady named Betty Polk called up her favorite son
Tommy, and says “ well Tommy, you are gennerally a pret*
1 ty good boy, but sometimes a little Factious; but I mean to
make a great man of you, and give you my old shoes in the
course of two or three years ; so ‘Tommy I wiii give you a
great piece of cake.” Bhe offered him a large slice from a
i loaf—Tommy looked at the slice, and then at toe loaf —and
said to the old lady,** that he must have ‘the whole or none,’
i and she must make the older boys mint! him too. The old
lady became misty and dismissed him without the cake, and

FROM Tilf. ahmV.
Late amt Very linportaiil.
Itocpnt nn - iv:ils at New Orleans roatirm tlie
probal/ilitv of a battle having been fought between
(itMi. ‘l’uvlor ;intl Santa Anna. From the corres
pondence of the New Orleans Delta, we collate
the following items of intelligence.
“Our correspondence from Jlra/.os represents
ih • valley of the Kio (irande as swarming with
soldiers and rancheros. A hard battle
was commenced near Saltillo, between Gen. Tay
lor, with ohDU men, and Santa Anna, with a force
of upwards of *20,000 men. The Mexicans had
no artillery. Tnvlor had eighteen pieces of light
artillery, (ien. Taylor lost, it is said, about 2000 j
men, and the .Mexicans about -1000. Taylor bad
taken position at a mill-pond, about three miles
from Saltillo. <ien. Marshall had left Monterey
; with provisions and two 18-pounders, guarded by
a strong escort, to join Den. ‘Taylor. The Mexi
cans about Cntnnrgo think Santa Anna has been
; budly whipped. Col. Morgan of the Ohio V'olun
teers, stationed at Cerrulvo with n strong force, has j
been attacked and bis force cut up ail along the |
line of observation as far us Micr. Another report 1
is, that Morgan was slightly wounded and has re
treated. Several of our trains nud many mules
with sutler’s goods, have been captured by the
M exicans. Frera is on bis way to Matamoros,
with 4000 cavalry.”
‘The Matnmoras Flag of Mareli 3.1, gives vis
the following additional particular*:
Den. Taylor, while nt Argun N’etivn, 22 miles j
from Saltillo, with .1000 men, was attacked,on the
22d tilt., bv a .Mexican force of 1.1,000. Finding
that he could not maintain his position, he made
good his retreat to Saltillo, covering Ins wagon
train. Here a severe engagement took place in
the streets, in which the Mexicans guttered a heavy
lo**. After destroying vvhat of the public stores
lie could not transport, he continued bis retrogade
movement on Monterey until lie reached the Kin
eonnda Pass, where lie was again attacked, but
successfully defended himself. Here all the ru
mors, reports mid letters leave him. Once in j
Monterey, and he would be safe, but his ability to
accomplish this much was altogether problemati
cal, as the Mexicans were swarming iu every dl
reetion. A merchant iu C’amargo, under date of
2.lth ult., writes to his friend in this place:—
“Three expresses to-day from Monterey—lighting
in Saltillo—Marin in Mexican possession—large
train of wagons, 120, and ISO private mules taken
Met ‘ulloeh’s company taken—S(K).t cavalry this j
side the mountains, and things in general turned
upside down.” From another source we learn that
Col. Morgan had abandoned Cerrulvo, destroyed
all property he could not take with him; that a 1
courier from Monterey reported at Camarg i, 1.10(1 ‘
Mexicans between the two places, and that BOW) j
more were in the neighborhood of Victoria.
This much we cull from the mass of reports.
