"Mr. Benton submitted the following resolutions,
1 which were read, and ordered to be printed in con
fidence for the use of the Senate :
“Retained, That it is not expedient for the GuV
ernment of the United Slates to treat any longer
with hi* Britannia Majesty, in reference to their
territorial claims and boundaries west of the Roc-
ky mountains, upon the basis of s joint occupation
by the citizens of the United States and subjects of

“Retained, That it is expedient that lha third
article of the Convention of October 20th, 1818.
for such joint occupation, be allowed to expire upon

one word, put on the armour and altitude of war.
Are the people prepared for this! We say there
is no evidence that such a semi-official announce,
men! is a just echo of popular sentiment. It is
mere presumption to suppose it to be a faithful rea-
ponse even to the Democratic opinion on the Ore
gon queetion, as concentrated and rejlected in the
Baltimore Convention. That queetion had not
beeh previously fairly before the people, or any
large divisions of the American community. It
was llien not popularly comprehended—not un
derstood in scarcely any of its relations even by
the representatives of the people. Politicians in
Congress, who had studied it, and Demagogues out
of Congress who pretouded to understand it, sought
to shape it to purposes of popularity: But the pub-
lie verdict had never been deliberately taken. It
has been since discussed—its intricacies unfolded
—its merits canvassed—its results rationally con
jectured.
We have no time to pursue the train of reflec
tion suggested by this important topic, but will re
turn to it again shortly.

Premature Interments.—In spanking of mor.

respect:
•• A few years ago.” says the journal in questian,
“a family with whom we were intimate, desired
our attendance at the removal of the remains of one
of its deceased member*. Prompted by curiosity,
the lid of the coffin was removed, when, to the ul.
ter astonishment of all present, the corps was found
with its face downwerde, end in every manner a
complete change in the position of the body.) Add-
ed to lhia,at for as the hands could have reached,
the lining of the coffin was torn, and wound into a
knot; and a considerable quantity of hair was
strewed st the feet. All these circumstances, to
gether with the sudden and singular manner of his
(supposed) demise, left scarcely * shadow of doubt
upon oor mind, that hare was another instance of
a too precipitate iieate in consigning to the grave

The returns are not yet all in of the vote upon

there has been no serious opposition heard of from

General Rusk, Lamar and Houston are the most
prominent candidates named to represent the new

The Civillion announces that Mr. Suligny will

Not a word by this arrival do we have from the

Parrot, from the Princeton, waa the beater of des
patches of importance to the United States GoV.
ernment. Me left town on Sunday for his deslina

Various considerations induce us to believe that
Mexico is most anxious at this moment to renew
Iter diplomatic relation with the United Slates Gov
ernment, and to treat directly for a definitive boun
dary between the two Government,, It will preb
able nppeur in lime tliut neither President tleire-
ru nor Gen. Arista has entertained for a moment
the thought ol re conquering Texas, nor should wo
lie surprised to learn that there has been an infor
mal understanding between Genls. Taylor and
Arista that the latter should make no aggression on
Ihe eust bank of the Rio Grande which could lead
to hostilities—Nothing that should look like Ihe
permanent occupation of the eastern bank, small
detachments sent out to protect against the incur
sions of ihe Camanches would not violate tho ten-
ur of any such understanding.—Ibid.
From conversation with those who have acces*
tn the best sources of information in regard to
Mexico, we infer that a speedy revolution in that
country is inevitable. It is intimated and vety
generally believed, that with the new order of
tilings, Gen. Almonte will come to the head of af.
fairs. To rule in Mexico, unless w ith an absolute
and undispu ed sway, they would hardly seam worth
nuy man’s ambition at present ; but there ia some-
thing so srducivo in tho exercise of power, that
there are ever aspirants enough for it. Of those
who have been named in connexion with Mexico.
Gen. Almonte is better known in the United Stales
Ilian any oilier. He enjoys here a reputation for
fair abilities, courage and frankness—hardly
enough of the fiisi, we fear, for the crisis in which
his country is placed. He has been represented as
n warm partisun of Santa Anna, and it would be
well for Mexico if he could infuse o little of l“e lat
ter’s energy ioto liio administration of aflsire.—
Without the assistance of some men of signal in
tailigeuce and nerve, fertile in resources and
prompt to act, Mexico if irretrievably foal.—Ibid.

by them for that station. A large number therefore of
the Whig mem ben met in convention, and Mr. Berm,
in’s name was presented. The name of Judge Douoflut-
TY was presented alsothis was done, s» it was stat
ed, without authority. Tbs ballot, to the surprise of
all, exhibited the feet, that Judge Docghertt was the
choice of the Whig members in attendance. This re.
sujt, so unexpected to Judge Bxrbiin’s immediate per.
aonsl friends, and for which they were utterly unpre.
pared—by such an expression of apparent dissatisfac.
tion on tha part of those who voted for Judge Do- gbir.
ty—necessarily led to tbo immediate tender, by Judge
Berbien, of bie resignation of bi* unexpirrd term in
the Senate of the Uuited States. Impelled by a high
seqse of honor, he gave sn opportunity to the Whig
party, to select some member of it, ae a just and faith-
ful exponent of ita principles.
A fow days, satisfied those who had acted so hastily,
under misconceptions of the political opinions of Judge
Berrien, that injustice bad been done him by many of
his political associates. The member who had pre.
sented the name of Judge Dougherty to the Conven-
tion, with a manliness which deserves the highest com.
mendation, proposed that Judge Berrien should be re.
elected to fill the vacancy created under the circum
stances herein detailed, aa sn evidence of the confi-
dence of tho Whig party in bis ability and political in*
tegrily. This proposition was unaccompanied by any
condition, snd waa the voluntary suggestion of asenso
of justice. The friends of Mr. Berrien, who bad been
filled with grief st the apparent sacrifice of that gen.
tleman, anxious to co-operats heartily with those who
professed the same political principles, and bore the
same party name,, could not but view with pleasure a
movement so just, so conciliatory, and designed at a
reparation torn able and devoted public servant, and
whilst they left its success to the action of those who

threw no impediment in the way, but evinced by their
conduct that they were ready to unite io such an ex
pression of unabated confidence.
In the Legislature, on Friday last, upon balloting for
a Senator, the Whig members in attendance, to a man,
conlerred their suffrages on the Hon. John M. Berrien.
Gratifying as must have been this united testimony of
regard—alive most keenly to sn unsullied reputation—
Mr. Berrien sought tha tdvice of many of the most
distinguished men of Georgia, before he would signify
hia acceptance of the trust so honorably re-coaferred.
With entire unanimity, those gentlemen recommended
bis acceptance. Aa he could accept it with honor, ten
dered and conferred without solicitation, he obeyed
their recommendation, and is now again a Senator from
Georgia.
On Friday night, Mr. Berrien addressed the Whig
members of the Legislature, in which address ho sta.

Ins friends in relation thereto. In the course of s

Albany speech, his absence from Georgia during the
eummer of 1844, hie ipeech at Boston, Caeaius M.
Clay, tic. Never have we hoard ao masterly and com’
plete a vindication from the (landers with which he lias
been so furiously snd malevolently assailed. Many
democrats wore preseul—we (rust that they st least will
hereafter cease to misstate or to misrepresent him. No
epithet can be too harsh for the man wbr, hearing
hit dofeDce snd vindication, can continue to propagate
the calumnies which for a moment as a cloud obscured
his brightness and purity.
Mr. Berrien, honored and admired as he has been by
the Whig party of Georgia, to day, has a firmer ami
more enduring hold upon it* affections and confidence,
thsn lie ever had. The Titan who was pressed to tbo
earth for a moment, rose with increased strength. Wo
rejoice to believe tint the events of the two past weeks

Crawford to fulfil the expectations of the country by
an honest and fearlete discharge of duty.

and not only theirs, but the altontion of tho Whigs of

rien speaking through our columns, tomir readers, at
