Mr.. Benton has delivered an able speech
in Congress against immediate annexation.
The evils of such ameasure are clearly shown
and the abuse and assumption Of executive
power forcibly exemplifed. We are glad to
find upon this subject Of the highest moment
TO the peace and integrity Of the union that
the prominent men OF both parties opposed
in other things, agree in condemning the out
rage committed by John Tyler in relation to
this Treaty.
M B. takes the ground that the ratifca-
tion of the Treaty,
Ist, Would be ofitself war between the
L. s. and Mexico.
ID, That ii would be an unjust war.
Sd, That il would be a war unconstitution-
ally made.
4th, Itwould be war upon weak and
groundless pretext.
These propositions are clearly established
by Mr.. Benton.

A MAMMOTH GATHERING.

The great Western Reserve Convention
which assembled at Cleveland Ohio, TO ratify
the Baltimore nomination, came off few
days since. 1t was most cordially and en-
Enthusiastically approved BY trcnty thousand
,0higs. A splendid description of the con-
vention, its various banners and grand pro-
cession is given in the Cleveland Herald OF
the 10th inst
Letters were received from Clay, Webster,
Fillmore, Seward, Davis and c. NJ. Clay
Mr.. Ii. Clay, repeats his determination al
ready avowed TO refrain entirely from min
Cling in public proceedings of political ma
ture during the presidential canvass. Seve-
raj great buckeye wings and others addressed
the meeting with tremendous effect. There
is a noble. enthusiasm over all this region in
favor of Clay & Ffelinghuysen. Ohio will
go By many thousands for this ticket. The
iocOs never appeared SO utterly chop-fallen.
They evidently despair. The spirit, unanimi-
ty, & indominable determination of the wings
has completely paralized them.

MR.. CLAY ON PROTECTION.

The Washington Correspondent of the
United States Gazette, a most Trustworthy
and respectable man, gives in recent
letter this incident.
You will observe that G Ingersoll has
felt himself authorised to charge MIR Clay
with running a race Of reputation of pro-
lection to home industry with Mr. Van
Buren,. This is serious charge TO be
made by one in Mr. Ingersoll's position.
Mr. Clay was in the House of Represen-
tatives yesterday when Mr. Ingersoll, COM
ing up and addressing him, Mr. G. said,
"Mr Ingersoll, by what authority DO you
say that have repudiated or abandoned
the principles of protection 7" Mr. |. re-
piled "upon the authority of n gentleman

say that the charge is utterly untrue, and
tell him TO produce the letter.
The above is the substance, and as near
as can be recollected, the very words of
the conversation. Mr. Ingersoll has made
the charge, he must now produce the
proof or retract, as | doubt not he will.
You will observe that he relies entirely
on hearsay and second hand evidence, and
even that will fail him.

Highly ImPortant.-Mr. McDuliie has Civ
en- notice of his intention to introduce a Joint
resolution for the annexation of Texas. But
we are happy to state from letter we have
received from high source at Washington
intimating the opinion of the writer that ''tke
treaty ariL not be ratified even by majority
of the Senate, either in the form of treaty
ratification or joint resolution. There will
probably be Is or 20 majority against any
proposition on this subject. There are some
in favor Of ultimate annexation, who are now
emphatic against it as movement of John
Tyler. Mr.. Benton and Mr.. Wright are
both out against the present treaty, altho
eventually they VIII be found for annexation
under happier auspices. Under John
Tyler nothing will be done. The locofoco-
ism in the House will not be united. OF
course this odious project must fail every
where for the present.

LETTERS on ANNEXATION. Besides those
of Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Van Buren,, we have
others from Col. Johnson, Commodore
Stewart, Levi Woodbury., and The one in our
paper of to-day, from Gen. Cass. All these
men are locofocos of the first water. All
are in favor of annexation. All have mount
ed a hobby which will cast its riders to the
moles and bats. The day is past when south
ern influence can ride rough shod over the
Union. Thefate which awaits these men,
will be caution to all future political aspi-
rants.

L. s. TROOPS MOVING TOWARDS
TEXAS-A NAVALFORCE ORDER
EDTO VERA CRUZ

| Last evening mail brings intelligence of a
remarkable character. But for previous ac-
counts, we should be inclined to doubt it,
We allude to the statement published yester-
day, from Vicksburgh paper, announcing
the transit of eight companies of U. 5. Infant
ry from St. Louis to Fort Jessup, on the bor-
ders of Texas, and to other accounts of an
expected Naval force in the Gulf
The National Intelligencer of Thursday
in the course of an article on 1.-The Texas
question: says:-Aibdny Argus.
''Withour waiting for the ratification of the
written Treaty, and even before transmitting
it to the Senate, the President is putting in
execution his understanding with the Presi-
dent of Texas. The troops of the U. S. are
already in motion. On the 9th of last month
the Sd regiment of U, S. Infantry left Jeffer-
son Barracks, near St. Louis, for Fort Jes-
sup, on the TeXian line; on the first day of
this month the 4th Regiment of Infantry re-
ceived orders also to depart from F ort Jessup;
the two regiments numbering eight hundred
or a thousand men. Ofthe Cavalry, several
companies (late Rihe) are also on the ground,
/ at Fort Jessup.] The stipulated amount of
naval force is also uuder orders. The amount
of force thus ordered to rendezvous in the
Gulf of Mexico is stated in the New Or
leans Bulletin of this month at serenteen sail,
to be under the command of Commodore
CONNER. These movements all corroborate
the information which we have received Of
the stipulations into which the executive of
the US. entered with President Houston pre-
liminary to or contemporaneOusly with the
Treaty"
LATER AND CONFIRMATORY.
The N. Intelligencer in a postscript has
this paragraph
''Late last evening, after an Executive Ses-
sion of several hours, the Senate removed
the Injunction Of secrecy from the Treaty and
Documents accompanying it, for the Annex
alton of Texas. We have not, of course, had
any opportunity Of examining these papers,
but we learn orally that, by a communication
from the President yesterday, the Senate was
informed that he had ordered a military force
TO repair TO The frontier of Ieras, to open
communication with the President of that
Republic and act as circumstances might re-
quire; and had also ordered naval force TO
Vera Cruz, 10 remain of that port, and preuent
any nGcat expedition Of Merico, If any such
TeraS!
linus are the rumored 'stipulations' with
Texas, referred to in our proceeding remarks,
confirmed, and the extraordinary fact render
ed certain, that the President has, on his sole
authority, taken step equivalent to waging
sudden and open war on friendly and I'M
offending nation. We have not time, at this
late hour of the night, for further comment
on SO extraordinary procedure"

GEN. JACKSON VS.. Henry CLAY.-The
Louisville Journal says "We hear from
Nashville, that Gen. Jackson is in peck
of trouble on account of the present con-
dition Of his party. He raves against Mr
Clay, morning. noon and night The
thought of the certain election of that
great statesman, is his torment sleeping
and waking. 1t is salt in his sugar, ipe.
cac in his wine. spider IN his dumplings,
a cat in his larder, and a nightmare in
his dreams.'

From the InteIligencer.l
EX-SPEAKER WHITE.

The Kentucky Commonwealth" has
thought it proper to vindicate the reputation
of the Hon. JOHN WHITE, of Kentucky, as a
person Of the most gentlemanly and amiable
character. No such vindication can be nee
essary where Mr.. White is known and appre-
ciated as he deserves to be; but, as the false
gloss attempted to be given by his political
adversaries to a recent occurrence in the
House of Representatives may possibly have
some effect where she is not known, we think
it due TO Mr.. White to transfer the following
remarks to our columns, with the expression
of our entire concurrence, both in the spirit
and the letter of those which refer 10 Mr..
Whites personal character and qualities:
FROM THE KENTUCKY COMMONWEALTH.
john WHITE.-The Loco press are endeav-
oring to trasform this gentleman into bully.
We know John White intimately, and we can
conscientiously declare that in the character
istics OF well-bred genteman-in poiteness,
suavity, forbearance, prudence. good feeling,
and genuine amiability, all the qualities make
up the character we both respect and love,
he is unsurpassed by any mortal man. He is
peculiarly distinguished in Kentucky for cool
ness of temper and respectfulness of bearing.
But, like every true Kentuckian, he would be
as prompt to resent affront as slow to offer it.
We certainly regret, as he himself publicly
regretted, the late occurrence in Congress.
But what could the meekcst man on earth do.
when struck in the face but return the blow
Had he not repealed his assailant, while, as a
Christian we should have applauded his
meek forbearance, there is not a woman in
the land who would not have whipped him
with her carriers.
In eleven sessions of service, through the
most exciting periods, Mr.. White, though
most decided and firm man, has never had
before the slightest collision with any one;
but has made himself great personal favor
lite with all gentlemen of both parties. The
miserable vipers of Kentucky cannot blur his
name.

leans have resolved upon holding another
meeting in Third Ward, Kensington, the
place which has so recently been the
scene of so much violence and bloodshed.
The meeting was to take place at the
house Of MIR Gee, corner oT Second and
Phoenix streets, and will no doubt be nu-
mcrously attended. He did not antici-
pate any disturbance.
