[COMNVKIC UTED.J lie view us >ir. Beutou’s Speech. We commence wading into this sea of foam and falsehood with disgust for the task, prompted by die use madeot it be fore the public. Being the production of a no f. inn! and tracer at in a direct line with modern whiggery, it is the tissue into which is woven, all of what may be term 'l tot wratic whiggery in the IT. States. \ it: leaven leaveoeth the whole i' ‘he tissue be rotten “modern * ” by its connection with it, i nrtuke ol its nutridity : that * .ssue is rotten , will appear by an > nirmtion of ihe materials out of which u - constructed, viz. “the three celebra ted ■ various. Tiie :1.-st resolution assumes that Me- j ico and "i xas are at war. Answers to ; tiie so! ow. notions, such as every one can n v • i • ctlv, will stamp it as j a false as upion. When was the! last butde fought ! when the last flat fit-! ted out ? when the iast army of invasion i seen m Texas? Nothing of the kind, since the battle of San Jacinto. If the i failure of Mexico to recognize her inde pendence lie war, then did Spain war with Holland 70 years. If that principle be correct, our fathers were grossly ig norant of what constituted war. When, upon the capture of Cornwallis, the Brit ish suspended hostilities, they called it the end of the war and recorded the du ration of the American revolution at sev en years, which was false under this principle. But hear Mr. Benton in roia to Mexico. “The deliverance of the country was complete, and Europe and America acted upon the knowledge of the fact. Spanish pride, as in the case of Holland, defered the acknowledgment of independence; BUT THAT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. Colombia, and other South American Republics, have not been acknowledged by Spain to this day ” Here is a clear sweep of the only ob stacle in tiie minds of those who oppose annexation upon any other principle than that of slavery. All the arguments to make .Mexico v* >. ign against the con ' of Sf nfold stronger for "i -xas. claims the indepen-, of y the act of a Spanish a . : • . . for altogether another' i-'.-iU :o treat, and whose right \ < and I v his king and master ; j an cinzens of Texas as slaves ! t £ An t ccause he has ackuowl-i r dependence but once. Is. i; • o tb.it there is something old- \ rotten at th bottom, when he denies our j b -.h/en in Texas, who have been rear- ; ed as republicans, the same rights and 1 privileges that he claims strenuously for Srnivsh subjects, who have known only abject slavery? He takes the correspondence to estab lish the existence of war be wtren Mexico& Texas, and harps upon Mr. Van Zandt’s letter as an acknowledgement, when he speaks of "the character of rear at pre ytt' 'fW'L>&f: , 1 it^/cgicof warfare milecoming the age in which we live, and disgraceful to any people professing to be civilized.” As in other cases, wc show wlmt Mr. Benton calls war. by his own authorities, published in his speech, and that ye has perverted th • :.cts; for Mr. Van Zaudt clearly snows that it is no honorable warfare and c ays, “It is not against a war with ' xteo that Texas would protest.” “If • ■!looses to invade our territory with r; ose, the President, in the name i eop'e of all Texas, trill hid her •v..c." I!is own authorities speak of ■ t > be, and he makes them say, t /?’•>: j. Mete him his dues, on the score o! veracity. T ' his leader of incosistency, he •Ti ••lligcrent attitude of Spain ico was altogether different rs i iOi in 1825 and 1829, to what ot .Mexico is towards Texas NOW.” It was generally known at the time that Gen. Jackson was negotiating through 3Mr. Van Buren for Texas, that General Barvados was fitting up a fleet to invade Mexico—he did invade it and took Tam pico, the strongest hold in the country; this Mr. Benton calls “inferior” belige rancy to what is “NOW” urged against Texas, when there is not the vestige of Mexican power in all Texas, nor has been in eight years ; for when Gen. Wool made his border excursion, it carried no power or authority with it, he having run out faster than he came in, lest he might see the muzzle of a Texas musket. Is this assertion of his, worthy of the brand of veracity ? if not, then it s due. In the face of this invasion winch all the en lightened world knows did take place.— Mr. Benton asserts, that idea of Spanish re-eonques! of Mexico entered no mortal’s head.” This may be branded as positively false, for the facts are be fore the world and Mr. Benton knew them. Let the render follow hire up and brand the following assertions true or false, as they merit. I. “The war (with Mexico) is began by orders issued by the President before the treaty was communicated to the Sen ate ! ’ 2 “We are at war withMexicoNOW!” o ‘ -"V- Mexican population in New and Governor Armego, or in his absence .■ Governor ad interim, Don Mariana haves, may fold themselves pursued rebels and traitors to the l.ni ter! States !” 4. • • - ed their (President and Si n ate) right to no this (make war) by a trea ty duty rd ; Imt here it is to be done —IN PAT IS DON I]—by a treaty on ly signed, -md not even communicated to the Semite!” The President has already made Iprtr. 6. “Ratification will be war by the President and Senate!” 7. “They (the negotiators, are for war) an 1 hav n ma le it ! ’ 5. “This Mexican war which the Pre sident has waged !” d*c. 11l “this Mexican war,” what battles have been fought ? None ! when are we likely to have a fight I nobody knows! yet it is war for no other reasou than that Mr. Benton says so, over and over, and over again, a few specimens of which we here presant; and we venture the opin ion that there is not a considerate man in the United States, that will unqualifi edly endorse one of these assertions ; still they are to pass for truth by the en dorsement of party leaders. The only' plausibility is, that they are hung upon the second resolution as a truth, but which has no more bearing upon the Texas question than a resolve, “That the treaty making power does not extend to the power to make soap.” If to assert what no one questions, be licence to say' whatever one pleases for selfish purpos es, men talk at a cheap rate, and “know that the responsibility of a Senator” has greatly degenerated under such a license. We charge Mr. Benton in the third re solution, with duplicity , falsehood by implication, falsehood positive, and fed cralisrnoi the most dangerous and black- j est hue. See if we can sustain these charges.— The resolution means any thing or no thing, as one pleases. Texas “OUGHT TO BE RE-UNITED”—but it must lie done by “the consent of a majority' of the people of the United States and of Texas, and when Mexico shall either consent to the same, or acknowledge the independ ence of Texas, or cease to prosecute THE WAR against her (the armistice having expired) on a scale commensu rate to the conquest of the country.” We refer to his speech for his argu ments) the consent of Spain, or ceasing “to prosecute the war,” was not necessa ry to make Spaniards and Creoles fiee as he contends for in the case of Americans, and proceed to make good our charges. Refering the question of annexation to a majority and to Mexico, is equivalent to saying, that what “ought to be” shall j never be. Take the argument from it The friend of annexation says that “Mr. Benton’s doctrine is, that Texas “ought to he re-united.” Oh ! but stop! says the anti-slavery man,—not without our consent ns the majority and the consent of Mexico too, and you can never get the former, if the latter. If this is not double dealing what is it ! It is cajoling one, by telling him it “ought to be” done and giving to another specific reasons i why it can never lie. To support the second charge, this du plicity which gives both consent and op position to annexation, implies a positive falsehood, unless one can stand over on both sides at once—it implies that “the consent of a majority” is necessary to make it constitutional, which is lalse— it implies that the consent of Mexico is necessary to national honor; we show the falsehood of that by his ow n language in reference to Spam and Mexico—“Bl T THAT MADE NO DIFFERENCE,” it implies that Me . co is prosecuting “the quest of the country, - ' which cueryfioety knows to be false. To the third charge, He asserts that an armistice has existed and expired that it never hnd an existence is proved by the correspondence of the two govern ments to which we refer, where it will be found to have been lent an effort at an armistice, ar.d Mr. Benton concludes m fas speech that no terms were made under the call for commissioners. An armistice exist without stipulations? this is Mr. Benton’s own showing. Then it appears false that it ever existed, and of rourse false, that a thing without exist ence should have ‘expired”. But Mr. Benton says in his resolutions it has ex pired, and in his speech, that it “has not yet expired and cannot expire until the stipulated notice be given.” llow are you to take him? Can it all be true? I if not, where should the people go for truth? To Tom Benton’s speech or to the correspondence of the different gov ernments? One would be ashamed to offer to affix an answer to that question, i for an honest man, and would degrade | the human family l»y doing so for a par | tv hack. i To the fourth charge. Who ever heard I of treaties for the acquisition of territory j rr.ade by a majority of the people? If 1 die majority is to rule, what becomes of I the provisions of the Constitution fixing ! this power? Jfthe will of the majority ! is the measure of power, what becomes of the Constitution itself? The Consti j intioti says that the President, by and 1 with the consent of the Senate, may make treaties, &c., but Tom Benton says no ! it shaot be done that way— a tig for the ! constitutional mode - the. people, the dear : people must consent, and they are called i upon to lend their aid to strike down the ! only bulwark of liberty that remains as ! fixed by the fathers of the revolution ‘ the only check upon federal encroach ments to wit: the Constitution, in order ! that federalism may ride into power on its ruins. Such designers dare not vio -1 late that sacred instrument, but it isgreat , lv to be feared that they may lead the i people to trample under foot its whole some provisionsas a license to their mach inations. Tiie constitution was in the way of Hamilton’s project for a strong government to control a turbulent and changing people— it was in the way of the black cockade administration with its alien and sedition laics —it was i in the way ofithe “bill ol abominations,” and ever will be m the way of Kederal j ism in all its guises, until it can use the i “ dear people” whom it represents as “tur bulent und changing” to blot it out of ex i isteuee. In Ins despatch lo the American charge , at Mexico, Mr. Calhoun says, “ You are i enjoined also by the President to assure the Mexican government that it is his de sire to settle all qnestiotis between the two countries which may grow out of this treaty, or any other cause, on the I most liberal and satisfactory terms, inclu ding that of boundary. This leaves ‘ (he question of boundary open to be ad i justed—the Secretary so declares it —the President so declares it—t:e treaty so 1 leaves if, and any other version must be | fake. Mr. Benton comes up and speci fies the limits to the very mark, and as serts that the treaty takes to it nolens vo lens—whether Mexico will or not, and makes the following positive declarations which u r e put down as false because not sustained by the terms of the treaty. 1. “ This immense river, (Rio Grande) second on our continent to the Mississip pi only, and but little inferior to it iu length, is to be added in the whole ex tent of its left bank to the American Uni on !” 2. “These former provinces of the American viceroyalty, now departments of the Mexican republic, lying on both sides of the Rio Grande from its head to its mouth, we now propose to incorporate so far as they lie oti the left bank ot the river, into our Union, by virtue of a trea ty of re-annexation with Texas.” 3. “ Taos, 3000 souls ; Santa Fe. the capital, 4000 souls; Abuqurque, 6000 souls,” with “scores of other towns and villages * * * the departments of Chihuaha, Cashuila and Ramniilihas*** now' under Mexican governors and gov ernments. are PERMANENTLY re-au nexed to this Union, if this treaty is rati fied.” 4. “These towns and villages, these people and territories, these flocks and herds, this slice of the republic of Mexi co, two thousand miles long, and some hundred broad—all this the President has cut off from its mother empire, and presents to us, and declares it is ours til the Senate rejects it! He calls it Texas! and the cutting off he calls re-annexa tion.” 5. “It is a seizure of two thousand miles ot her (Mexican) territory without a word of enplanation with her.” These bold assertions held up in all shapes for effect, (a/ere of the variations only being here presented) make pages of the speech, carrying their own refuta tion on their face ; for it shows concltt sively that there is “no specific boundary fixed in the treaty —that the President proposes an adjustment with Mexico “up on the most liberal terms,” and that by calling it re-annexation, it may not go farther than the former possessions of the United States. The position is false that annexation was based alone upon fear of British ab olition—^false that the President acted alone on the authority of a London cor respondent—false that even that corres pondent was incorrect as to British poli cy : for Lord Aberdeen openly avows the designs of his government upon slavery “ throughout the world” —false that “the British minister fully, formally, and iu the broadest manner contradicted the whole story” dee —false that Mr. Cal houn plead Lord Aberdeen’s letter dated after the signature of" the treaty, as the basis of the treaty. Pdr. Calhoun in re jliy, tUtinilCU UUtlovtf i\r vvitrrw*. Lord Aberdeen’s letter and draws from it additional proofs of the correctness of the course pursued by the President, which ?>lr. Benton warps to mean what he rep resents in his speech. It carries its own refutation prominently; the treaty was on foot longeie Mr. Calhoun went to the Secretaryship, and could not have been based upon any occurrence that took place after his acceptance; and whatever others may do, no one believes that lie would stake bis character lor veracity upon a falsehood for effect, hoping it woiud escape detection— false that the negotiation carried “an admission that the consent of Mexico must be obtained, cost what millions it might,” for the Pres ident declared that he treated with Tex as as a sovereign, having full power to make her own alliances. We have presented the skeleton upon which the speech hangs, and ask if it is not correctly drawn; and shall be con tent by putting on the skull-cap falsehood which will be misunderstood by no one, ! and which will be a true index to the j whole frame. Hear him. “By the treaty of | 1819, made, as Mr. Adams assures us, by the majority of Mr. Monroe’s cabinet, who were Southern men, this Texas and a hundred thousand square miles of other territory between the Red river and Ar kansas, was dismembered from our Uni on, and added to Mexico, a nonslavehold ing empire.” At that very time Spain was more largely engaged in the slave trade than any other natiou, for the bene fit of her colonies; and it is notorious that slavery existed in Mexico ’til about IS3O, when Guerero abolished it by edict. Like the balance, it would not do once told, and we have it again with an additional feature. “ Southern men deprived us of Texas, and made it non slatcholding in 1819.” Texas has had slaves even on, the edict of Guerero to the contrary notwithstanding, and eve ry body knows it. If Mr. Benton stands convicted of one notorious untruth, is he to be believed without written proof on every point ? He discovers that “ Mr. Tyler wants to be President /” and that fixes die bur then upon his own heatt. If the annex ation tide should not be checked, Mr. \ an Buren was eternally lost, and Iris own big with the Secretaryship would turn out an abortion, without the possi bility ot a new conception in time to ride into the Presidency upon the Oregon and Texas questions. He discovers that the forty days given to the Mexican Charge just passes over the Baltimore Conven tion, and says it “was to sit in 38 days from that time! and forty days would give time for the “ Texas bomb ” to burst and scatter its fragments all over the Union, blowing up candidates for the Presidencyand he might have added ! their intended Secretaries and successors ! with them ; this was evidently “sticking 1 o’.it," for so much does it impress him that lie belabors this one point about the Coimmiou and its effect upon cuidi dates five different times in the same speech. A few weeks back, Mr. Editor, to men tion Benton to the wliigs of Georgia and you met with the old cravat financier ing story, and in many instances follow ed up with the epithets, “a rogue, a liar ifec.”; now, nothing is heard but Mr. Benton, Mr. Benton, at every street and corner from these mouths, and it is even said he would make a first rate whig. If he suits their taste let them take him for he makes a sorry Democrat. In the union they will have an important point to settle. “ Tommy is evidently at his old tricks again.”—whose ground is to be occupied, his or theirs? CASTUS. AA2iiaaaiK3A2g' 31. JOHN STUN, HDITOR.

Onr is There. From Houston, Dooly, Pulaski, Macon and Twiggs we have the most cheering intelligence. The work has been well be gun in all of these counties. Our friends are doing their duty nobly there, and will never lower their flag until modern whiggerv becomes extinct. Annexation in France. The people of France, onr old revoln. tionary allies have planted themselves on the American side of the Texas question, and stand where they stood in the glorious struggle of 1776. — The subject of the annexation of Texas to the union has created, it is said, a great sensation at Paris, and revived the numerous speculations which were a float during the previous struggle be tween the United States and England. The subject of annexation is the.great theme of discussion in France, ail class es are in favor of making common cause with the United States, and thereby, striking an effectual blow against the freebooting & domineering policy which lias characterised the English govern ment for the last three hundred years. Yve have been favored by a gentle man of this city with the following cx tract of a letter received by him, from a democrat of Crawford : “The whigs are trying to rally their flying legions. You will be pleased to i hear, that in the special election for clerk Superior court, which took place to-day iu this county, the democratic candidate succeeded by a majority of one hundred votes over his opponent. The work goes i bravely on, and if we are true, to our selves the state will be safe for Polk and Dallas. The democracy of old Crawford were never more united or animated by a more patriotic spirit, than at present. Keep the ball moving.” “ Hurrah hoys the country is rising Fur Henry Clay and Frelinghuyaen.” Here is a chance at last for a tempest in a tea pot. Here is an opportunity for a tremendous whig flourish. The Sa vannah Republican of yesterday announ ces that a Mr. Shin of Virginia and a Mr. Boring of N. Carolina have actually left the Democratic party and are now in the field for Harry of the West. These, with Col. Stanford of Habersham- make three votes. “Victory or a cripple”—who is afraid now. Thomas 11. Benton's speech. The whigs are flooding this state with copies of Benton’s anti-Texas speech.— We understand that a barrel full arrived by last nights mail: from here, to he sent to all parts of the state. We ourself, saw an individual, with an armful, destined for Sumter and Lee counties. A whig fact caught and caged. It is with feelings of unmingled satis faction that we announce the above remarkable piece of intelligence. As the animal is somewhat rare and recher che, we take great pleasure in exposing it to the admiring gaze of its “friends and the public,” and not knowing when we shall he fortunate enough to meet with a similar article, we take the liberty of bespeaking the careful attention of the curious in such things. Here it it is, look for yourself. It seems that there was an association formed in Savannah, in 1842, to raise funds and send volunteers to Texas, at the time Mexico made her last impotent threat of invasion, and this association elected Mr. Gnzaway. B. Lamar, as their treasurer, who in a card published in the Savannah papers, declined acting in that capacity. Well ! the Sac. Republican lately republished Mr. Lamar's card, to show by a rigid and logical process of whig reasoning, that because ?»ir. L. was opposed to sending volunteers to j Texas in ’42, lie ought to be opposed to annexation now. The Richmond H hig i pumping at the straw, republishes the I card without qualification, as a recent re ! valuation of Mr. Lamar’s opinions, in fa j vor of annexation, and says th; t he “is I no doubt iu the condition ol thousands, who, at first, warmly in favor of tiie Tox i as scheme, have been brought by reflec tion to renounce their original opinions.” The Charleston Mercury justly denoun ces it as a wanton and deliberate lalsili cation. Every body knows that Mr. La mar is one of the most zealous advocates us imtntJiiiio umioiratuiu in this state.— However, we present it as n “whig fact,” showing the retrograde progress of the great question of annexation, which is destined in its onward progress to sweep whiggerv, with its idols and its errors, down the winds. Trias—The South. f | Six months ago, when it was known ! that the people of Texas desired to be an nexed to the American Union, all men of every party, Whigs as well as Demo crats responded with the patriotic shout of welcome, welcome, Texas. Mean time a treaty of the most favorable char acter was negotiated for the annexation of that Republic to the sisterhood of American States. Put Mr. Clay, for rea sons beet known to himself, comes out and declares against annexation now; and inferantinily forever—and straitway the scene is changed. The swiss minions of the “Dictator of Ashland” take their ewe and the treaty must not be ratified. And although this government, as well as those of the great powers of Europe, have solemnly ac knowledged it, these learned doctors of whiggery declare that Texas is not yet a free and independent State, but that she is still a department of Mexico—and that government as well as England must be consulted, before the treaty can can be sactioned. They virtually declare that Texas must fight her battles over, and that another offering must be made upon the bloody altar of Spanish tyranny— that the bones of the Georgian, the Ken tuckian, the Virginian, the Mississippian, the Alabamian, the Louisianian, the Car olinian, and the descendants of the Pil grims from the green hills of New Eng land that are now bleaching upon her plains, were all offered in vain. That the Alamo and Goliad, and Son Jacinto, must bleed again. This is the decision of Mr. Clay and his leaders, and it is from that dscision we desire te appeal to the plain, and honest people of the coun try, who are yet uncorrupted by the lit tleness of party management,to the warm hearted and generous American, whose blood is not chilled by the blighting curse ot party; it is to these and such as these, we submit the issue,—are you willing to say that Texas is not yet a free and independent State ? Do you too, require the consent of either Mexi co or England, in order thnt Texas may he admitted into the family of American States? No, no, you do not, you will not. until Lexington,and Bunkerhill, and Camden, and Eutaw, and Yorktown are forgotten. As for ourselves, we are for Texas, we are for the South, “the land of our birth and the home of our sires.” Let others do as they may, we will cling to her honor and the rights guaranteed to her people by the Constitution; come what may, we will adopt in this great crisis of her fortunes, the language of one of her most eminent and gifted sons, who is now sleeping with the honored and lamented dead. “For some of us it may not be allotted to survive the Re public. But if we are only' true to our duty, our example will, in that dark hour, be a rich legacy to our children ; and which of us would desire a higher reward than to have it inscribed on his tomb, “here lies the man who sacrificed himself in a noble effort to retain the li berties of his country.” Fellow-citizens, this is our own our native land, it is the soil of the South whicli has been enrich ed by the precious blood of our ancestors, shed in defence ot those rights and liber ties, which we are bound by every tie, divine and human, to transmit unim paired to our posterity. It is here we. have been cherished in manhood, by' the generous confidence of our fellow-citi zens ; here repose the honored bones of our fathers; here the eyes of our child ren first beheld the light; and here when our earthly pilgrimage is over, we hope to sink to rest in the bosom of our com mon mother. Bound to our country by such sacred and endearing ties, let oth ers desert her if they will, let them revile her if they can, let them give aid and countenance to her enemies if they may ; but for us we will stand or fall hy her side.” Ilose Hi!! CrmeJery. The monuments and improvements erected in memory, or in honor of the dead, in every age and among every peo ple, while they’ have been objects of curi ous speculation and enquiry to the living, cannot fail to improve as well as in! r est, every reflecting mind, led and, i; some cases, these nun nor the only history that has-reach* and ir. - whole nations, who were probabiy once as powerful and cultivated in many of the arts and sciences as those of modern times, and while every other trace of their social as well as public economy, have ages and ages ago, perished from the world, those proud monuments have defied the ravages of time and have stood out in bold relief in perpetuation of the cultivation and fame of the people 1 y whom they were erected. Without en tering any further upon this subject at present, we may he nermited to remark, that we believe, that there is something too, in these memorials, effecting as they do, a double purpose, either of which is worth the expenditure and toil bestowed on their erection or improvement, which cannot fail to recommend them to every enlightened community. The monuments to the lamented and honored dead, while they perpetuate and embalm their mem ories with the living,will be guides to reli gion, virtue nndeducation, and the grave vard will be an holy sanctuary, whose influence will never cease to be felt, ar.d which, if rightly considered, will urge the ambitious young in the paths of vir tue, religion, honor, fame, and their coun try’s good. We have been led into these remarks from visiting and seeing the improve ments now going forward under the dir ection of our enterprising and public spirited cotemporary of the Messenger — Mr. R ose. He lias, we believe superin tended iri person, all the improvements of these grounds since they were first ap propriated by the city as the final resting place of our dead. His good taste, in laying them off and his unwearied atten tions given to improve them, entitles him to the lasting gratitude of the whole community. While we are upon this subjert, we take the liberty to suggest to our citizens, the propriety of adopting measures, whereby additional improve ments may be made in beautifying th e grounds. Satisfied that if a move was made in the matter, it would meet the favor and approbation of our people. AVhich party is the most fav.ible to ttic Abolitionists. Thomas Jefferson, with that far seeing sagacity that rendered him as su perior to all other statesmen, as Shakes pearistoall other observers of human nature, long since remarked tluit the Democracy of the north whs the na tural ally of the south. The wnoon and truth of this observation has been proven in a thousand install' es and m no instance has it been evinced more clearly and emphatically, than in <h e course of the democratic party of the north upon the delicate, agitating and exciting subject of slavery. We do not pretend to say that the democracy ot th® north, are in lavor of slavery as an ab stract question, farfrom it, we know they are not. But we do say, and without fear of contradiction from any honora ble or honest man, that the democracy
