SOUTHERN COURANT.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 97, 1846.
Wo pi'iMtuii the Hpeoch of Mr. Hip.
plmna, on the Toxin question, entire, in this
duy’s paper, believing that our readers
would prefer it (though tuking up so much
room,) to having it divided. It will secure
their perusal without any recommendation
from tjs.
Tim T<ix;t* (ituvstion.
Our readers will not fail to sec in the
speech of the Hon. Mr. Hipphons, evidences
of that subtle logic, bold atiack of opposl.
tion, and able defence of position* assumed
for wliicdt he is distinguished. The been
ties which also gracefully adorn it, expect,
ally where lie alludes to thu Union and to
the Mouth, will necessarily strike the
reader’s attention. Knowing Mr. Hte.
phon# ns wo do, we cannot for a rno
ment doubt Ills political integrity and
virtue, in thn course wliioli has been a
dopted liy him. Hiring, however, as are
bis various reasonings in defence of the
constitutionality of the admission of Texas
by joint resolution into this Union—plans!
Ido as are his views of the expediency and
propriety of llio measure, wo consider the
first iniider|iinto ami Insiiilieient, and tin
latter deceptive mid illusory, though mge
nious and seductive. We have not the
room if we had the inclination to review his
remarks In detail, and regret the necessity
for a difference of opinion with him, To
this subject, we linve, within the Inst day
or two, given a deeper than
at uny former period. Wo have done so
for u two.fnld purpose. To find consfftn.
tionnl authority for llie net r,f admission by
a joint resolution of Cong res*—to reconcile
it to the interests nfthe nation st large and
thn south in particular. Our convictions
heretofore expressed, are deeper mol strong,
cr by additional investigation and re five,
tion. Wn have examined the subject not
ns a partlzan, not us a Whig, not from any
■elfish or narrow minded considerations,
but as a friend to the constitution, to our
liberties, and to the perpetuity of our Fed.
era! Union Wo are not professing to
speuk a* the organ of party. No one is re.
sponsible but ourself for the views which
wo entertain and present to our readers
and thn public. The grounds of constilu.
tloiuil opposition to this measure, we gave
in the respective numbers of this paper of
the 1 sttli end 90lli inst. Wo have seen no
reason to falter in those opinions, and refer
our renders to them for such an answer ns
we would give to the arguments of the gen
tinman to whoso speech wo refer. There
are, however, a few positions of that speech,
to which wo will refer attention with a few
brief comments.
Mexico ami tiii: ll.vrrnn States,
Mr. H. I bin I: that the United HlOtes
will not make herself h porty to the
war between Mexico and Texas as former,
ly she would luivo done, because Mexico
lias fulled ft. Wstuhlish her authority over
Texas or to make efforts to effect it—be*
cause there line been no actual war as was
threatened within the Inst ltd or 18 months
—because M> xico is weal;< r and more pow.
orloss than when those threats were made,
Mr. H. alludes to her internal dissentions
and civil strifes. Ho fur from coming to
the same conclusion with Mr. H. we come
to one directly the opposite. Hunts Anna
lias boon overthrown. Mo lias been called
the Napoleon of that section of this Conti*
nent. As the overthrow of Napoleon gave
peftoc to Hurope, so, the overthrow ofHun.
ta Anna will give peace to Mexico. Much
is the opinion of sensible writers and oh.
serving men in tbut country. Her disarm
tions therefore, being healed, her people be.
coming united, site will he belter prepar' and
to wur upon Texas, and to injure the Uni*
ted States if the latter becomes « party to
that war, That war will be declared a*
gainst the United Stales by Mexico in the
event of the annexation of Texas, has been
declared by her Minister to this country,
by her authorities «t home, and by tho op
posers of Manta Anna, who now h*ve ttn
disputi and control of tho tiovermnent.
Admission of New States.
Mr. S. contend* that the United States
do not acquire foreign territory by me ad
mission of Texas as a now Stale. They
acquire nothing but the advantages ol the
connection, and merely enlarge the limits
of the Union. Well really it would seem
to us, that if Texas is admitted she is ac-
qnirrd. Thn Unfon »u tertfenf fee I*.
