Dr. Estes on Slavery.—We aomo time since called attention to tins work, and apoke of it* merits as it deserved. It gives us ploosuro to no tice tho favor with which tho book has boeit ro^ coived in diilerent parts of the country. In Ala bama and Mississippi it has had a great run, unu a Louisiana planter of high intelligence, expres- es the opinion to us, that itisa work of raro abil ity and should be oxteusivoly circulated. Ifany tiuui, of ordinary intelligence, will but read the defence of Slavery as it exists in the South,from the pen of Dr. Estes, ho will bo ready effectually to grapple in argument with any misguided fa natic he may meet. Every planter at least, should possess a copy of it. G’lny’s Position boforo tho Notion! Tho aigm of tho political horoscope for some months past have conclusively shown that,howev er much tho ullogiunce of Ute Whig party to Air Clay may have wavered under the impressions made by the brilliant achievements of Gen. Tay lor in the field, it would finally return to its idol with oven more than its wonted devotion. His summer excursion to the North, whether made for the purpose of recovering his health, or with the object of feeling tho pulse of his northern sup porters, must have furnished abiindnnt evidence to his mind thutlie stood first and foremost in the afiectioiiB of tho Whigs. If ambition had been dead ill his bosom,the enthusiastic reverence he re ceived would have warmed it again into fife—if hut an ember glimmered still upon“tlio henrtli-stono of his heart,” it must hovo been fed und funned into Hume. In addition to this personal homnge.pnid him wherever he went, and which lie said that “a King or an Emperor” could scarcely expect, tho Whig Journal* of the country, North and South, East and West,'with but few exceptions, have spoken of him in such unqualified terms of devo tion us have clearly evinced that hi* day hud not yet passed. After such indication of feelings ns those we have just mentioned, and innumerable others less goncrul in their character, an expression of opin ion and sentiment from Air. Clay became a mat ter of controlling importance. The course of Wing policy in reference to the war nnd tho ques tions springing therefrom, was not clearly defin ed. Confiicting opinions evidently existed be tween different portions of the party. The great measures which furnished ihc connecting links in tho lust Presidential campaign, wo mean the tarilF of ’42, nnd opposition to tho annexation of Texas, were wholly divested of their power. New issues were before the country. It was not difticult to form a general idea of tho ground to bo ussutned by tho Whigs; but it requirod a com mander’s direction to plnco them in position.— Webster spoke at Springfield, and the Springfield Convention nominated him for the Presidency, but with all his power of intellect, Wcbstor hue never led tho Whig party of tho nation. All eyos were naturally turned to “ Harry of tho West,” niul it i« but raueoimblo to believe, that lYunr nil quarters of tho Union, streams of letters have poured upon him, urging tho necessity of his counsel, hi* direction, and his re-assumption of the cominnml-iii-chiof of the Whig party. Dan gerous houinge this to bo puid to an ambitious man! Yet who doubts that it has been paid, and it* fruits are now given to tho world. Mr. Clay is again a candidate for the Presitlon- ■. Once inoro has it become all-important for him to harmonize the feelings and to concentrate the action of the universal Whig party of the na tion. How was this to bo effected I Wluit springs was it importunt to touch 1 Whom was ho to court—whom to contemn 1 He looked to the slave-holding States of the West. Kentucky was his us a matter of course. Tennessco wns deba table ground. In both of these States slave pro perty has been rapidly sinking in value. Little or nothing wus to ho hoped, under nny circuui stances, from the othor States of the Southwest; and of the Southern States proper, Georgia and North-Carolinu were the only two which he could expect, by any conceivable combination of acci dents, tn**—td.vS. ,oiv» ior Inm. Of these, North-Carolina has been so long buried in the Rip Van Winkle slumber of Whiggcry, that there was but little probability of her awukiug to danger ami insult, until it was too late to ward oil* tho one or to redress the other, nnd in Georgia tho Whig party with Berrien at it* liend, tho Southern Senator who hnd tolerated Webster's nbuso of Southern institutions, who had proclaimed in tho United States Senate that the North must grow strong, and tho South must grow weak, nnd that tho latter must submit, and who had finally framed nnd introduced the notori ous “No-morc-lcrritory” resolution—in Georgia, we say, the Whig party with Berrien nt its head curried a majority of tho Legislature, aud thereby secured hi* re-election. Moreover tho experience ofthe past hndshown thuttiio Whigs, ofGeorgia could rapidly shift from ouo point of the political compuss to its opposite, in the hope of being part and pnrcol of a dominant party, nnd could tolerate principles and submit to insults un heard of by their fathers, with, the view of secur ing Uiis much to bo wished for consummation. There was nothing therefore to be lost in Geor gia by nuy course ho might sea proper to pur sue. Ho looked to tho mighty East, North nnd North west. Is it strange that their voice was potential I Is it marvellous that the greatest political gambler ofthe ago should have thrown hisenrd to pander to their prejudices aud to secure their support! lie perceived the Whig party, in solid phulaux, occupying n position at once hostile to the true glory of tho nation, anil threatening wrong, con* tuinoly, and oppression to tho South. He saw that a considerable portion of the Democracy in tho Empire State had cut itself loose from the true party, nnd assumed a similar ground with the Whigs. It was but reasonable for him to believe that throughout tho non-slnvo-holdingStutes there would lie u strong faction ofthe Democratic par ty opposed to the viows of its leaders on thoWilmot Proviso. What an opportunity wa* before him By a master move ho could concentrate upon him- sulftho whole ofthimuightysupport,whilohecould lash into tho traces his liumhio, docilo followers ofthe South. YVlyit though a future full of doubt, darkness and despair, should bo opened before a large, patriotic, and cluvalric portion of the Union! What though the mad spirit of Northern prejudice should fatten nnd riot on the corrupt broad ho offered! What though the true glory of the nation should bo clouded, nnd our triumph ant eagles be withdrawn, with drooping pinions, from the blood bought conquests of Mexico ! What though honor, trnth. and pntriotiim should all be sacrificed I lit tcavld be elected President of suit* I. Tlw object 1 of a lift 1 , effort woulii bo scoured. ’ Ho would roach tho pinnaclo of Ms burning ambition at Ihbt, although it would b4 but to foil fl-om R ii^to ai dhrk and dishonored grove. Such is tho position of Henry Clay bo foro this people. Gouded oh by a sordid ambition, ho hua assumed it in tho close of bis life. The gambler has Ihrown his last cord. Behold how in tently ho watches the board. v In his fixed, agonis ed gazo you mny read the history of a thousand disappointments mingled with tho Btings of a re proving conscience. It speaks of mighty power wasted, glorious impulses prostituted, the noblest work of God undone, nn earthly past oversha dowed by regrets, an earthly fttturo brightened by a singlo hope! Tho hopo is fixed on tho board beforo him—it is based upon the card ho has thrown! Shall it win? May tho good genius our country forbid it! From AIlllcdscTllle. (Corrcipnmlniico of tho Suvammh Georgian.] MILLEDGEVILLF., Nov. 19, 1847. GciUleinou—Yesterday, in tho Semite, Alr.Sim- tuons, reported n hill to prescribo tho time, place and manner of holding elections for Senators to represent this Stute in the Congress of tho Uni ted States. Tho object of this bill, seems to be, to solve the difficulty respecting tho late election of the second United States’ Senator, and to give theffpower which the protostmits deny to exist. Mr. Duimgnu reportod n bill to prescribo how the laws and resolutions of this State shall be com piled and arranged. Mr. Snider reported a bill to incorporate tho Chatham Artillery. Tho Senate concurred in the resolution ofthe House of Representatives, in relation to Mr. Whitney's project to connect the Atlantic and Pa cific Oceans by moans of a railroad, and appoint ed a Committee on tho part of tho Sonute, con sisting of Alessrs. Wales. Glenn, and Clayton. Mr. Dunagnn, from tho Committeo on Ferries and Bridges, reported iu substance, that tho es tablishing ferries nnd bridge* are not proper sub jects of legislation—that power having boon con fided to the Inferior Courts—which ought not to bo interfered with, unless under very peculiar circumstances—which was agreed to. Mr. Terrell, from the Committee on Internal luiprovunient, made a report on tho petition of Jlcv. Georgo White, authorizing III* Excellency tho Governor to subscribe for 250 copies of his Natural and Statistical History of Georgia— which was agreed to. From the Judiciary Committeo, touching the resolution to inquire what further enactments ure necessary to carrry tho 18th sec. of tlio 1st article of tlio Constitution into effect. Air. Wales re ported, that if the lfttli sect, of the sumo article i* iusulficieut, any additional legislative enactment will be inuffoctual nnd poworloss. I notice tlio passage of a bill to atneud tlio Otli section of thuftd article of the Constitution. Another, requh-ing Clerks of Courts in this State to record Coustublcs’ Bonds, nnd declaring certified copies thereof testimony in certain cases. Sovernl other bills wore passed, all of u per sonal or local nuturc. Tlio lloiiso of Representatives wns literally flooded yosterday with now Bills, Resolutions, nnd Report* introduced, much being of consid erable interest. From tho vast mass I glean the following, iu which your reader* may feel inter ested. Tlio Resolutions introduced by Air. Freeman relative to the measure* of the General Govern ment, on motion of Air. Harris of Baldwin, were refUricd »/i tlio Committeo on the State ofthe Republic. Mr. Tift introduced a Bill to change tho pen alty of death for crimes committed by free white persons, to imprisonment and labor in the Peni tentiary for life. Air. Harris of Baldwin—To amend an act to give “all persons employed on Steatn Boats and other Water Crafts, a lieu on them for wages, aud for wood, provisions, Sic. &c. assented to December 11,1841 ;” so ns to include nil lions on personal property. Also, to revive anil amend the act to incorporate the Milledgevillo Rail Ilond Company, assented to Dec. 25,1837. Mr. Clark introduced a Bill to amend nn act, to amend and consolidate the several acts of force relating to tlio power* aud privileges ofthe Cor- portion of tho City of Savannah, assented to Dec. 24,1825. Aud, also, to amend nn act to ni ter the times for the election of Mayor and Alder men of tho City of Savannah. Mr. Bartow—A Bill to authorise an increase of tlio Capital Stock of the Alarine and Fire In surance Bank of the State of Georgia. Also, by Mr. Williamson, to incorporate the Etowah Hail Road Company, in Cass, Ciierokoe, and other counties. Air. Dnrnnll lias commenced the war upon Alil- ledgeville, by introducing a Bill to remove tho scat of Government to the Town of Atlanta, in tlio county ofDeKulb; and to provide for tlio ex pense ofthe same. It is barely possible, surely not nt ull probable, that such a scheme can be so- riously entertained by a majority of the Legisla ture. In viow of the large amount of public property necessary to bo abandoned, nnd the c- nornioiis expense to be incurred, it is inconceiva ble that n body of intelligent men can be so blind, to tho true interest of their Constituents, a* to pass such a bill. If, however, the project should find favor in tlio sight of the General As sembly, the bill should be amended to include the removal of tho Penitentiary. Let them go to gether. On tlio bill to enlarge tlio jurisdiction of Jus tices' Courts to fifty dollars, an ndverse report wus nnauiuiously made by the Committee. A report favorable to the bill regulating Justi ces’ Courts in Suvniinali. Also, au unfavorable report on tho hill reglna- ting Peace Warrant*; also oil tho bill to point out the mode for tlio collection of rent, Arc., in Savannah. A favorable report wns made outlie hill forreg- ulnting the trial of slaves and free person* of col- or in tho city of Savannah. Air. Bartow introduced a resolution, referring tlie controversy between the State of Georgia and Mr. James Ilolford, to a select Coinmittoe. Air. Clark introduced a momoria) of AI. S. D’Lyon, which was referred to a special Commit tee, consisting or Messrs. Clark, Phillips, and Harris of Talliaferro. Air. Tift introduced a hill to incorporate tlio Savannah and Albany Railroad Company, & c . I havo not been ablo to obtain access to cither of those bills, ns yet, nnd really tho succession of now important matter continues so to crowd the Journals, that what come* up to-dny obliterates the memory of what wns done yesterday, or rather leaves no time for a rocurrcuco to them. Whilo upon this topic, I desire to be understood as not intending to insinuate aught in derogation of tho accommodating spirit of the Clerk* in either branch of tho Legislature. It is due them to shy thnt I havo received every facility for gathering in formation from their offices, in their power to af ford, nnd that cheerfully, in the boBt spirit, and with an impartiality worthy of all praise. Indeed, I see not how it could ho carried to a greater extent than it is, without arresting tlio progress of business in each House. There are somo six or eight reporters for different news papers in attendance, nnd na the Journal* can not bv divided, it consequently nim-t happen from the operation ofthh JMiUeiJ* .We, “first comoffirst served,” that soq^o will havo to wait until otlici arb through. It impede* me kunetimes, yet I do not complain; for I feel uiidq obligation W tho Clerks, especially Crawfid, and Alr.poyaii: ofthe Senate, for their prompt nnd kind compli ance with my frequent application' for the peru- salof documents. I have for twenty years been fomiliar with these proceedings, and have never seen among Clerks /Roro stqdious effort* to ac commodate and give satisfaction. . Jiespoctfttlly, yours, AMANUENSIS. Protest* ' The following is the protest alluded to by our Milledgevillo correspondent in his letter of the 18th iust. We tho undersigned a part of tho minority, thnt opposodtho passage of ft Joint Resolution of both branches of t.io Leigslature, bringing on tho elec tion of United States Senator, to fill tliu vacancy to bo occasioned by the expiration ofthe term of service ofthe Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, ou tlio Third of March, 1849; in discharge ofa solemn duly we owe our constituents, *nd fit the exorcise of an undoubted right we have) do protest against tho passago of said Resolution and now declare tlio reasons that influence us. We hold Resolutions ofa .business character in Legislative 'Assemblies, art two-fold, initiative and executive. Tho ouo nukes calls for infor mation, raises committees and prepares business for Legislative action. The other carries iuto practical life,’laws aud enactments, that otherwise would he dead and inoperntivo. The first pre pares materials for Legislative action, the latter curries it out They are not Laws; yet, tho one is necessary to the makitig oftuws in tho Genorul Assembly, and the other it ossential to the execu tion oftheui.bytho Genenl Assembly. The Resolution under consideration, is of tlio latter character. It is exuuitivo, and mustbopru- dicutedon the Constitution either federal or State or some existing law in pursuance of them. If it bo not au executive .Resolution, then it is a Law, and should Imvo pawed through tlio ordeal of other Legislative enactments, tills it hus not done ; then, os u law it isclearly unconstitutional. We will now consider it as au executive Resolu tion and enquire if it cun ta predicated on tho Con stitution of the United States, Georgia, or any Statuto, in pursuance ofthein. The first enquiry , thou is, can it be based oil the Constitution of the United States ; if sa tho question is at an ond. The Constitution says ; "The Senate of tho United State* shall le composed of two Sen ators from euch Stato, slmsou by tho Legisla tures thereof for six yeirs.” Then again, iu tlio fourth Section nnd first Article, thnt “tho times, place* and manner of hiding elections for Sen ators and Representative, snail bo prescribed iu each Stato by the Legislature thereof.” We see above, that two Sonutnr* shall be chosen by the Logislnturo of eacli State—and again, that the times, places, and manner of choosing them, shall be prescribed by tho Legislatures.—How it shall be prescribed, irf an important enquiry . Cer tainly it never wus contemplated bv tlio framers of tho Federal Constitution, that the connecting fink betwoenthe Sovereignity ofthe States, aud the Federal Government should he filled up, oth or thuu by permanent Law. Tho times, places, und manner ofholding election*, are circumstan ces of tlio highest importance, in tho purity, pre servation nud perpetuation of our Government; tlioy are the channels by which tho Sovereignity ofthe people, and of tho States, are transferred for limited tortus to their public functionaries.— These circuni8tauces lmvo beeti, and ever will bo considcred'Of paramount importance in the exer- ciso ofthe elective Franchise; on tho manner, purity, and certainty of which, depend this great Structure of human Iiborty. Wo ennuot bulievo a simple Resolution sprung up on tlio spur of tlio occasion, without tlio forms of law, can ingraft in itself, theso clement* of tho Elective Franchido, and in tlio short space of hulf au hour, divest a Statu of her sovereign will, aud vest the exercise of her power iu other hand*. Again—not only tho tunes, places nud munuer of electing Senators, hut ulso of Representatives, shall bo prescribed by tlio Stato Legislature*. How preposterou* nud ridiculous the idea of an honorable Senator, rising in his place, and pro- oo.itinir n reunlntimi.nstjihlUhinrr thr» tiinos nlnnn« and manner ofholding elections for Jtepresentu- tivea in Congress; and vet, it is not more ridicu lous than establishing these circumstuuccs, in re lation to tho Election of U. S. Senator. The only difference is, the one election is by tlio peo ple, the other by tlio Legislature; the opening an election by the proper oliicor at tho different 1're- cincts, accomplishes all, tlmt should be accom plished by a JaitU Resolution, bringing on an election ill the Represcutivochamber.—The ono is ns powerless to make law, as tho other,—yet both ure all important in the execution of existing laws. But again: Tlio Federal Constitution reserves tho right to Congress, at any timo by law to make, or alter such regulations except a* to the place of choosing Senators. Tho Term, Regulation* imports a thing, per manent, fixed in existence, that may bo altered, amended, or abrogated; a rule established, that nmy.be changed; not »n evanescent Resolution, that to-day is,and to-dny is not, thut Hashes meteor like for a moment athwart tho political horisou, then sinks to rise tio more. Tho regulations meant wore laws, wiich may be alterod, amend ed, abrogated nnd their place supplted by laics, not resolutions pfCougress, regulating the times, and manner, of holding elections. It appears to us from the above positions, thnt said Resolution, cannot be based,on tiie Federal Constitution. Tho next enquiry to be inn do,is this Resolution predicution on the Constitution of Georgia? To the most superficial observer, it is nppurent thnt the Federal Constitution recognizes three distinc tive character of rights, and their corelative ob ligations, tlio right* of the people, the rights of tho Stales, and the rights of tho United State*.— To preserve a proper equipoise of these rights, is the beauty,a* it is the snieguurd ofourjRepublicnu institutions. The Section heretofore quoted re cognizes the right to prescribo tho times, places, aud manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives to existin the Legislature, and no where else—And holding as we do, to the literal and express provisions tf thnt instrument, thero it must remain, until assumed by Congress under the Constitution. The Constitution of Georgn was adopted,eleven yoari after tho Federal Con stitution, aud the Delegates to tho Convention framing it, could not lmva been ignorant of the provisions of tlmt iustrunent, which conferred explicitly tho right uuderconsideration to tho State Legismturcs-with that knowledge they did not,and could not ingraft into their organic Jaw, powers already vested by the federal Constitution in ono oi the co-ordinato Departments of tho Gov- emmentthey were nboutto institute—again, that august Convention, would [not lmvo adopted in tlio Constitution, a power of which they were lmblo to bo divested, nt the mooting of tlio first Cnugrcs* after thoir adjournment. It nevor was intended that those regulations should bo made by the people in their primitive or conventional character, but by the State* in thoir political character, more especially ns re- fijjfds tho election of Scnutors, whoso responsi bility i* direct to tho Legislature, but indirect to the people. Wo believe tho Constitution of Georgia proscribe* the place* nud maimer of holding elec tions, alone, for her iutonml Government, leaving tlio times of holding them to be established by law. ■bo olectodot tho nmi mu ion of tho LogUkturo, utilea. o vacancy bo ocoaotonod by death or reiig- Thoaoour roasom for protesting amiriit tho notion ofthe iilujority of the Bonate wo roquet-' fnlly oabiuit, and oak that tlioy may ho spread ou the Journahrof the Senate.

Mr. Clay observing your Reporter seated ut a table, with punier, pens aud ink before him, ready to make a ror, a Kins! Yon A givo to onq min a power A the constitution never contemplated. . Mr. Clay contratfed to dilate at considerable Ieugth unon this topifc, expressing it ju his con viction that Congress should declare‘at tho dbm- ina session, what dtp the objects, of the war, and what should be the conditions of peace. If the President then remuiit opposed to a treaty uplln thq terms prescribed, there wns a way by which oven he could bo reached; and bo mudo to feel that the peoples’will governed : ho meant by im peachment. Mr. Clay said he was opposed on- tjrelytp annexing Mexican territory. One hulf of tho millions ofacres wo had ulready we did not want. IfCongress would be pacified with cortain limits establishing where they conceded, tlio proper bo -ndarius of Texas, he did not believe the l’.o- indent would refuse to accede tq their wishes— he was already half tired of the war, and would doubtless bo glad enough to adopt any plans by which peaco would bo restored. As to uny dif ficulty which would occur in settling a bouudury lino, ho would bo willing to undortuko in sixty hour* to secure thoir co-operation. Tho truth was, Mr. Polk imagined, whoii Matatuoros fell, tho Mexicans would succumb. Such has bueu tiie -expectation after evory battle; hut now, oven when wo ure in tho hall* of tho Moutozunuia, wo appear to bo as fov as ever from our object. Ho referred to the Spnuish character as evidenco, in tiieir struggles for 800 years with tho Moqrs in Spuiu. Ho spoko of tho absurdity of asking in demnity for our losses, ofa people who lmd notli- ing to give us. As to annoxing, he considered it would be little short of madness to iutroduco eight or nine millions of people, speaking a different language, aud possessing a different religion, amongst us, to assist in governing our Republic. Suppose, said he, they would not choose to semi delegates, can wo appoint them ? Would that ho carrying out our Constitution, which declares that evory citizen shall havo a voice in governing him self? Mr. Clay avowed himself to he strongly op posed to the extension of Sluvory, deplored its ex istence, hut remarked it as a universal evil, lie considered tho refusal to uccent new territory us tho best means of arresting the difficulties thut surrounded this important hut delicate subject. The speech occupied two hours und a hulf in jts delivery, nnd tho foregoing is but a sketch of its most important points. The speaker adhered very closoiy to his resolutions, nud they embodied all tlio great principle* which he advocated and discussed. Tho resolutions acclamation.

It xcas his intention to have his remarks printed under his men suucreision, nnd lie would then furnish copies to all. Iu vain your reporter remonstrated against this decision, and oftored to submit his note* to his supervision be fore sending to Philadelphia by the express in waiting—tiie determination could not bo changed —and Air. Clay declared that if the intention to report hi* intended remarks was persisted in, ho would not speak at all. Under theso circum stance*, your reportor was obliged to content him self with the heads of tiie speech he is confident he 1ms faithfully transmitted. *" Gen. Leslie Comb* called tho assemblage to order, and remarked tlmt lie hoped perfect order and silence would bo observed, n* it wns proba bly the last time tlio illustrious statesman, then beforo them, would ever nddresa n popular as sembly. Ho had resolved to do it on this occa sion, from a high sense of duty to himself nnd his country. Tho momentous question now pre sented to the American people, of annexation by conquest, or purchase, of an immense extent of forcigu territory, inhabited by millions of peo ple of different races and colors, and placing diem on an equal footing with the free citizens of this republic, permitted no man who loved his coun try to remain silent, and Henry Clay would bo unworthy of his past history if ho allowed any selfish consideration* to palsy his tongue. He had rather be right than bo President! Gen. Couihs concluded his remurks by nomi nating the Hon. Air. Rohiusou us chairman, and ♦bn 4-S-4I.O- «..!*). (l-ao or o oatloi derublo number of vice president*, wus confirm- cd by acclamation. The meeting being thus ful ly organized, Air. CLAY arose and predented himself to tho people. Ilis appearance was hailed us before with tremendous shouts, to which followed a deep and general silence, nud he then offered and reud the following resolution*, which he lmd prepared. [Tlio resolutions appeared in tlio Georgiuu of Saturday.] In' the commencement of his remarks upon these resolutions, Air. Clay ngain stated his ob jection* to having them reported, and made gen erally known until they hnd undergone his own supervisions, us tiie subject upon which ho was about to spenk, wns one upon which ho wished not to Iio misunderstood. lie then proceeded to compare the gloomy state ofthe weather to the present condition of the country. Wo are now lie said, engaged in n bloody war, thut most des olating of terrors, which, when associated with pestilence nnd famine, wns placed in tho foremost rank. Many person* hud compared tho oppo nents of tlio present war with tlioso who lmd op posed the war of!812 with Great Britain, but he denied thnt such a comparison was just. Iu 1812 the war wns one which originated on our part from tlio aggressions of England. It was a war whose object* were most emphatically and truly summed up in these few words, “Free Trade and Sailor’s Rights.” We sought to defend our sailors from being dragged from otii* ships, ami being compelled to fight against their country ; it wns n war by which m amity with one another, we sought to preserve our rights upon tho high seas, nud not to allow Great Britain to sweep us off. This was a war of tlio people—they willed it, nnd they were ill favor of its Being carried on. He spoke from actual knowledge, when lie sta ted tliut Mr. Madison was personally opposed to the war of 1812. IIow would tho present war contrast with thut ? For what object was it de clared? It wns created by tlio net of Air. Polk, ratified, it is true, by the act'of Congress. It was created in consequence of tho order of the President to General Tuylor to march upon tlio Rio Bravo, to a point opposite Alutntuoros. Tiie President acted thus while Congress was in ses sion, without consulting thnt body; when, how ever, supplies wore askod for our army, and it* dangerous condition stated, Congress voted, Whigs und all, land in this they did us he would have done,) the necessary supplies. But they were wrong; and never, so help him God, would lie have done so—they were wrong in voting for what they knew to ho a lie, that Die war existed by tho net of .Mexico. So groat was his regard for truth, tlmt sooner than subscribe to such n falsehood, ho would lay down life itself. They liud been warned when tlio annexation of Tex as wns first mooted, tliut if they took Texas tlioy would have to take her wars. The assertion was hooted nt; no such fears, it wns declared, need be entertained; it was said the boundaries could all bo amicably settled. What, however, wa* Die fact 1 Was not tho present war tiie con- sequenco of a boundary dispute ? At the very time when otir army was ordered to march into Alntamoros to take possession of tho disputed boundary, Air. Slidell was on his way to the city But if wo are wrong in this position, tho times of Mexico to enter into negotiations for the set- of holding election* i* not prescribed in the Con- f holding election* is not prescribed in tho Con stitution. The most important act to be done, es- pecmljy as regards Senators, iu this particular— there i* nothing in tiie Constitution to predicate tins resolution upon. We do not hold that a pnr- Uculur. day, week, or month, should have been f irescribeu, but some session of tlio Legislature eavmg tiie day to bo set apart by tiie executive action of a Joint Resolution. The remaining enquiry, whether tills Resolu tion is based on any Statute law of tlio State, may bo readily nnawored. There is no Statute upon which to predicate it; it is sprung into existence without nny constitutional law to support it. In tho caso before us, it has prescribed tho time, place nnd manner ofholding the election, executed its own prescriptions and settled and determined re sults, all, by virtue of its own inherent powers. In addition to tho above considerations we ob ject to the unfitness of the time proposed in the Resolution, because of tho remoteness of tho va cancy that is to occur. We do not hold beenuso it is inconvenient or expensive to do right, there fore we should do wrong. No Honorable Sena tor in his private relations, would be willing, so irrevocably to hind himself to his neighbor He might change his mind, his neighbor might change his character Is our obligation to do right less to tlio people than to ourselves, . Ill concfusion we hold tho time ofelecting Sen ators, should correspond with the expiration of their emiee, and that two Senators ought not to tlement of Dio question. Why not have waited until Mr. Slidell's mission had been fulfilled ? It had been stated, over aud over again, that tlio Whigs were the enemies ofthe country for speak ing against tho war—that they had deserted her. Wus this the case ? Have not Die Whig* been as prominent in figlitingon the bloody fields of Mex ico a* tho Democrat*? Have they not spilled Uioir blood ns freely. War now exist*, but we have made no declara tion of the objects of that war; it therefore be hooves Congress to declare what are? the objects, nud upon wnnt term* the war with Alexico will cease. In monarchies, the war making power is vested in the king—-in this country it rests with the people, Dirough their representatives in Con gress. TUia ia distinctly avowed in the Constitu tion. It i* true the President has the power of making treaties, but they are always formed upon an act or resolutions of Congress. He referred to Die resolution regarding reciprocity, and upon which some ten' or dozen treaties have since been founded. Ilj therefore, in such comparatively unimportant subjects ns trade and commerce, the President takes his instructions fVom thelpeople, how much stronger is tiie argu ment when applied to Die promulgation of war. If it remains silently with the Presi dent, when war i* . once declared, to say what are its objects and when it shall stop, then'may yon call the President by what name you plennc —he is in effect a* powerful m a Cteaar, an Em- WlAtnr’i Ilnlnnui of Wild Cherry OflHit), j,,- TltE ].
