TEXAS AND DIsIJNIoN \

We ask those who are dreaming on in security
 about Texas, and who think there is net much dan-
 ger in the matter to read the following pangent ex-
 tract from Colonel Benton. The Coils good author- ityupon this matter. He is good authority especi-
 ally among the Lecefoco gentry who are carving out
 from their hopes, the honors and unmolumen.s of office, if MT. Polk ride into power upon the iron I war horse of immediate Annexation. The Times spoke in exceedingly high terms of the Colonel the other day,Ss while they ia the melting mood we call their attention to his vigorous onset upon the
 reasonable project which Mr. Polk and his abettors have so much at heart. -s,. "And here Mir. President, I must speak out.-. The time has come for those to speak out, who neither fear nor court consequences when the coun. try IS in danger. Notification and disanion are re- vived, and revived under circumstances which me- mace more danger than ever, since coupled with popular question, which gives to the plotter the honest sympathies of the patriotic millions. have often intimated it before, but now proclaim it-Ds- union is at the bottom of this long concealed Tex. as machinaton. Intrigue and speculation cooper. ate; but disunion is at the bottom, and denounce it to the American People. Under the pretext of getting Texas into the Union the scheme is to get the South out of it."-Bentoa in reply so .Me. Dss6Se, in fhe Senale. July Ssa. lS4l.
 Let the people heed this warning, by one who knows the truth, and is not afraid to speak it. They are scalding, soaring words, and must have fallen upon the head of Mir. McDufRe, like hail. storm of fire. He denounces the scheme as one of unmtigated mischief, and while his friends at the North are raising the flag of immediate annexation, above the old flags. the old stars and stripes of the Union, we wish the people not to forget the leud and denunciatory warning of such men as Col Benton, who had been in the secrets of the bartv. and know the object aimed at in their public move. ments.-C0srane. 1sJ afr
