GEN. JACKSON AND MIR. BENTON.

The letter Of Mr.. Benton against the annexation
OF Texas appears to have produced a decided i'm
preston at the Hermitage, Judging from the tone
ofthe Nashville Union. That paper publishes the
letter of Mr.. Benton, with many praises; says
sit sheds food Of light upon the subject and then
goes on to say, in words, that though its deliber-
ate opinion is in favor of immediate annexation,'
stll, ifthe majority Of the Locofoco party decide,
as MIR. Benton argues, that the more wise,
prudent, just and cautious course would be to
await the removal ofthe causes of objection which
have been stated, and which very short :ime
must remove" il shall acquiesce.
As the Union speaks the sentiments Of General
Jackson. it would seeem that the old chief has
found reasons in the letter of Mr.. Benton which
should induce the party 10 wait for more con-
vcnient scason.-Bahimorc Patriot.

however expert may be the honest player at cards,
he must always encounter the regular gambler

lately examined before respectable committee
of ciiizens. He had asserted that in an entirely
new pack of cards he could detect both suit and

Five new packs were furnished, and the result

Mr.. Ediior,--lt seems to me that the Me.
chancs' Association formed, as was stated. for
the purpose of enlghtcning the minds of the
WVEkinguien Of our town, is about TO die il natural
death. That warmth of feeling which was at irst
exhibited on behalf of our Mechanics. has grown
coid-that ardent desire for the promugaion Of
Know ledge among that class of people, has ceased
that plan which was proposed for placing the
mechanics In their proper station Of society. has
been abandoned, but for what reason ain unable
to say. Surely the effect of that Association as
yet, has not BEEN TO advance the intellectual
standard of the Workingmen so far, that it's ex-
lstence Is no longer necessary-it certainly has
not effected that revolution with the mass which
was promised, and such being the case, cannot
see why 1t has been so neglected by those who
assumed to themselves its especial guardianship
and control, and who promised through it TO i'm
struct and enlighten the Workinpmen upon SUBJ
Jscts closely connected with their interests. We
all remember that the evening the Association
was formed, number of scientific and learned
gentlemen were present, who expressed desire
ana Willingness TO cooperate with the society in
the diffusion OF knowlcdge-that they were anx-
lous TO see more intelligence among the people,
and were willing TO devote considerable portion
oil their time TO the accomplishment of that object
and In fact pledged themselves to do all in their
power 10 advance the Interests Of the Association.
Still in the face of these loud promises and pledges,
mol more than two or three Of these learned gen.
tlemen who took upon themselves the task OF liz
sructing the Wo:kingmen of our town, have at
tended the meetings of the Association, redeemed
their promises or fulfilled their pledge; but ON
the contrary they have entirely neglected it, and
abandoned the Association to 90 To nought, or TO
chance. Thus have they acted, and my purpose
In drawing the attention of the Assoc iaion to it
is to propose, that the Workingm attend in their
strength, at the next meeting, and so alter and
amend, or 1t necessary destroy the constitution,
this protesses to be. the Workingmen's Asso-
clatlon. A MEMBER
