From the Southern Retormer,
FERNANDO, Miss June 10, 1874.

Mr.. EDITOR:
i is amusing to witness the trickery, as
well as Notifying to mark the singu.
lar insincerity of the Globe, and your
neighbor of the "Mississippian," who pre-.
tend they discover wish in Mr.. Calhoun
toprejudice the north against the treaty Of
annexation, by placing that measure upon
the ground OF a desire TO extend and
strengthen the slaveholding interests of
the Union. Mr.. Calhoun does not urge
the treaty upon that ground, and no can
did mind can come TO such conclusion.
He merely places itupon the ground, that
it is the duty of the president TO prevent
Great Britain from interfering with the in
stltutions of the Union, whether they be
slavery or any thing else; and will ven..
ture to say, that the candidate of the non.
slaveholdings states, so understand his po-
sition. The truth is, the Globe (and the
Mississippian is its echo in this case) de-
slres that the north and east shall SO un-
derstand Mr.. Calhoun's position, and he
desires 10 make such an impression upon
themfor the purpose Of arraying thema-
galnst the treaty. The Globe desires TO.
bring about the very result he pretends 10
deprecate. He hopes the northern and
eastern members of the senate will view u
as he says they will. While he delights
to abuse Mr.. Calhoun's friends for their
opposition to Mr.. Van Buren,, he charges
Mr.. Calhoun with an ambitious desire 10
dissolve the Union and to establish new
government with himself at its head
charge nothing less mild than that Oh
treason. For the unfair and bitter man
ner in which the Globe has recently abus'
ed Mr.. Calhoun, he has lost the comb
he once possessed in an
eminent degree-of his subscribers oil INC

The wing papers are parading Mr.. Dali
las votes on the bank. He obeyed in.
structions in giving those votes, and dis.
claimed being a bank man. We are
satisfied with his opinions on a national
bank now, even if he was once bank
man. lfformer opinions on this subject

own quaint, eccentric way; but we are
rather inclined TO think he don't take the

occasionally become inccmprehensible TO

terday-and on introducing II took occa.
sion to define his position. Whenever IT
becomes necessary for man, who has
long been 10 The public service, to labor
two hours TO define his position upon any
great national question, and especially,
one with which he has been familiar for
twenty-five years, we can but suspect his
integrity, and honesty Of purpose. The
simple answer of yes or no. would be alto.
gether sufficient TO define the position Of
such man. 1t is our purpose in this ar
ticle TO examine The provisions of this bill,
as also, the course OF Mr.. Benton in rela.
tionto the Texas treaty. Before going
further however, We desire to say, that for
the far-seeing, upright, honest, and manly
politician, we entertain the highest res.
pect. Upon such men, the hopes of our
republic depend; but for trucking and
ambitious aspirant, (no matter how great
his mental endowments) who would sacri-
fee the best interests of his country, eth
err to pander TO his hearts malignity, or to
subserve his own selfish views, we have
the most unbounded contempt. The mis-.
cradle foundering of such men, seeking
10 show out false position, is not entitled
to the amiability of pity. The tones of
censure, bursting forth from every portion
OF the nation, should be of different cha
racter; it should say 10 them, in the Ian.
guage of condemnation, which we are
taught 10 believe, will one day issue from
the Eternal Throne, "you knew your duty
and you did it not" We can but believe,
that hatred to John Tyler and John C.
has been among the chief ele-
ments of his opposition to annexation, and
that he has covered his purpose, by objec.
lions to the form, and in this manner at
lacked the substance.

strongly however, that he differs with that
gentleman on the Texas question. With
his characteristic levity, he winds up his
letter with very pretty witticism which
contains much more sophstry than sense.

truth of the old adage that "honesty is the

been so for twenty FIVE years; declaring
that Mexico has no dominion over the
territory of that republic, and that it is
ours as matter of right-a right which
has never been surrendered, and could
not be surrendered by treaty. Yet, he is
lound the most ardent and jealous cham.
Plon against treaty which restores to us
our right. In order to avoid the full force
OF his own inconsistency, the difference
between his professions and his acts, after
the treaty is defeated, he introduces bill
ter annexation, which we published YES.
