.Mp poTTs OK ANNEXATION.

Under the above CAPTION the National Intelligence
publishes in this mornings paper, speech, or Par
Of Speech delivered by Mr. bol's ~ ~. I'm 49,
cannot perceive as the Intsgencer does, that these
remarks are "impotan,; and only notice them on ae-
count of their attacks on MIR. Calhoun aud the very
remarkable sympathes for the Union they disclose
Mr. Rhett it seems on the occasion oil The late slavery
aritaons on the floor of Congress- by aboiItlonlsts
and the State of Massachusetts, declared that he should
"scorn himself if he could sing hosannahs 10 ths
Union" And Mr. McDufie, on the Tariff debate,
has said that "he had not known this Government Tor
the last quarter Of century, but by It's niqutous OPP
pressons." Mr. Bolts, on account OF the supposed re-
a,ions of these gentlemen towards Mr.. Calhoun, I've.
~ quietly living at Fort Hill, when they were uttered
in Washington mputes these sentiments TO num- ana
then talks of ga party IN this country whch hao pee"
charged with design to dissolve the Union. 10 Tue
eport Of his remarks in the Commercial Advertiser,
he distinctly charges this design himself ana says =
81 speak of the Calhoun party-the dsunon party.
Now, we should have supposed that MI McIn'he
and Mr. Rhett quite competent 10 nave op'hions
Of their own, independent OF their relations TOWARDS
Mr. Cahoun-and whatever these gentlemen may say
on the floor of Congress- of course they must INTEND
shall be omen 10 the differences of alMr. Bolts in
cluded One thing, however, we suppose IS pretty
sure-neher they nor Mr.. Calhoun vail be n AL DIS
composed at charges of dsunlon from either Abolition
lists or Tariff pundeers Our purpose IS not, however,
to defend either of these gentlemen from any 'hn5
they may have said done but tn remark upon The
extraordinary atinlties of Mr. Bolts in his dsunon
fears IL we mistake not, when member Of Congress,
he voted TO admit abolition petitions and agitation on
the floor of Congress- He made himself the champion
Of Mr. Adams, when he offered petition to dissolve
the Union, against MI marshals resolu'lo"s OF cen.
sure Al the present session, Massachusetts mas sent
resolutions Congress- and the different States which
the Legislature Of Virginia, his native State, has una
nimousy declared, believe TO BE- propositions TO
aissoloe The Union Mr. Adams has reported on these
resolutions in the House of Representatives, and has
"A thn
apparent 10 every one dissolve the Union As an
ardent lover of the Union, Mr. Bolts has, of
perused with high satisfaction, this appeal oil his per-
sona and political friend TO produce instruction and
civil war in the South. Now ask, is il not strange
stranger even than fiction that, under such crcum-
stances Southern man, whilst declaring in this very
sneech that sf ever this Union TO be dissolved, 1t rs
by this very question of slavery, should overlook all
these movements against the Union from the North on
this vital point and should turn round against those
who are assailed in the South to find subjects for hrs
alarms for the Union II ia not the Aboltonlsts he
ssarrsys" himself against although, according to his
own statement, assang the only vulnerable matter
endangering the Union. No, no. He takes men,
Adams Giddngs, and all into POLITICAL fraternity WIN
the capacious arms of his phllanthrop'c Whggery -
These people proposed dissolve the Union, before Inc
question Of Texas arose They threaten that they VIII
dissolve il, if Texas is admitted into the Union Where
is the Indignation for the Union, and the courage IT
should inspire The SILENT the other covering
He turns 10 the South the assaed, wronged and
prosecuted South and those who are striving 10 de-
fend her from Northern aggressors 10 association
with foreign foes He from the opPTessors 10 The
Cypress sd-from the strong to the weak from those
who have declared that they will destroy the instu-
ton of slavery in the Union drive the South out oil
it TO the victims of this fahess and ruthless war
fare-to find out the real enemies OF The Union, ana
crafty his tender alarms. How great, and chvalric,
and Just! And then the Tarf-what do those
who are opposed to this system Of Iegallzed plumber
ask Simply 10 be let alone. How unjust to others
How dangerous 10 the Union Under the pretext OF
the public good, the Of the Government is used
10 tax the citizen for his Government but Tor the
benefit and emolument Of other citizens of the Union
vast portion Of the people. North md South, East
and West, say, that this lie unjust yrannical and un-
constitutional. If the Union is endangered by such a
policy, who ls blame the aggfessors and plumber
e.s, or those who wrongully oppressed Mr. Bolts,
set ii genus" will, Of course, say the oppressed
as the Tories of Revolution said on limilar ques-
ton But the free trade men of the Union, and the
shareholders Of the South, will as little for denun
Citations aud aspersiona, by modern Aboitonisls and
Federalsts, the "Rebes' Of the Revolution II IS
possible, thai they may have the hardhood 10 stand up
even against The terrors of Mr.. Bo,tss "array with
Adams, and G,ddngs, and Clay to boot
