OPThe New York Courier and Enqui-
rer says:-"A man who will deliberately
repeat an infamous SANDER, which he
knows has been repeatedly and perfectly
refuted, and has not the slightest foundation
in truth, deserves TO be expelled from res
pectable society,"" Yes, such one should
be shut up in prison at hard labor for life
for he would use the dagger of the assassin
if he were not restricted by the fear of
being hanged. The calumnialor is not only
a scOundrel but a COWARD, and ignominy
should attend him through life, There is
strong alloy of cunning existing in every
fool, and il may be observed that narrow
intellect and a malevolent disposition are
generally associated in the same individual.

SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH.

Extract from letter from highly re.
spectacle Planter in Georgia TO his cores
pondent in this city:
"Snce the days of the Revolution no
body of men have exhibited more devoted
patriotism or accomplished more good for
the whole of the country than the last
Congress. The whole South begin to see
this, and acknowledge that the Wing pol
icy is the true policy and this feeling
will, believe, elect Mr. Clay almost with
out opposition. Until recently had sup
posed that Mr. Van Buren, would certain
ly receive the vote of New. Hampshire,
Alabama, Illinois and Missouri but
journey last month through Alabama has
satisfied me that, that at least is doubtful

the Wing Tariff, but a majority of the
People, / verify believe, are in favor of
"The Planting interest begins 10 appre-
ciate the Importance of the Home market
for their staple, aid the fact that Cotton
for nine months past has ruled higher in
this Country than Europe makes them op-
posed TO any modification CT the Tariff.
The factlous spirit exhibited at Wash
ington by the majority in the House of
Representatives has greatly strengthened
the Wings in this quarter. Their oppo-
sition TO the District System-a law that
every well-informed man felt TO be Just
and equitable and convenient, and purely
Democratic--the repeal of the One Hour
rule, "a measure approved by men of all
parties only because they were Wing
measures their hostility TO the Tariff,
which has reinstated both the North and
the South, and indeed their determination
to undo all the last Congress did-.to agi-
tate and open new questions by which
they hope to turn off the attention Of the
people from the comparative merits and
services Of Mr. Clay and Mr. Van Buren,
all have had the effect to open the eyes

BENTON ON TEXAS.
Caledonia.

Having given the rumor that Senator
Benton is against annexation, it is our du-
fyn to give the explanation. After
showing that Benton is the very father of
the scheme-the man who first started it,
and enlisted Gen. Jackson's support-Da-
vid L. Child mentions his present reputed
position, and says
"The Colonel tries to manage his pres
ent disguise, so that he may not be taken
at his word in Missouri and the South:
and no doubt he gives precious explana-
tons of it to the initiated. Such an ex-
PLANTATION, by great good luck, happened
to come to my ear through an authentic
channel 1t was this, that the colonel i:
not opposed to annexation, but thinks i
too soon to agitate it. The true inter
probation of it is, Let us keep our part!
together, elect our candidate, and ther
we can annex Texas, not only without IN
jury, but with immortal glory to ourselves

away with, and probably presume on tn

Progress Of M0rmomiSm.-We gather from
tie Cincinnati Chronicle the following infor-
nation in relation TO the growth and history
Of Mormonism. The sect founded originally
on the imposture of revelation, has, not
outstanding that imposture, been continual
" increasing. The city of Nauvoo, in Hi
nos, contains from fifteen TO twenty thou
sand inhabitants. Merchants, mechanics and
others have gone there for purposes of bust
ness. Buildings are continually erecting
among others, the great Temple; which has
been sometime building, but is not finished
vet They have, however, saw mills, and
quauies of stone in operation, at which the
materials are preparing. The Organ of the
Monnons also affirms, that their sect is every
where increasing, and that emigrants are still
loeking to this country. They say that they
have missionaries in nearly every land-that
some arc in India, and some in New-Hol-
hnd
The Legislature of Illinois have granted q
charter 10 NauvoO, and the Nauvoo Legion
Of the utmost power and liberality. They
have availed themselves of those charters to
set their enemies at defiance.
One of the most recent occurrences, is the
correspondence of Gen. Joe Smith with Mr.
Calhoun, and we presume with other public
men. Mr.. Calhoun says that he looks upoI
all beliefs, sects, etc, POLITICALLY of course
as entitled TO equal consideration; but h
must inform Mr.. Smith that he does not thinl
the General Government has any power It
compel Missouri to admit the Mormon
claims.
Upon the receipt of this, Gen. Joe Smitl
replies, al length, informing Mr.. c. that h
does not know more than he ought 10. an,
that he and the world must take care hov
they oppose the Mormons, for that they ar
destined to prevail.
We are informed that Gen. Smith & Co
have declared against both Van Buren, an,
Calhoun.

TEXAS AND THE UNION.

| learn, from what | consider 10 be
good authority, that the proposed treaty
TO snnex Texas TO the Union will not be
remiited for ratification at the present
Session Of Congress, because it is well un.
derstood that the effort will not succeed.
In the present juncture of afiairs,a MAORI.

Texas to the Union, and, therefore, TO sub
nit the treaty would only be 10 obtain

Ministers are instructed in no event 10 ne.

ANOTHER SToRY--A story is paraded III
the columns of the loco papers, that Mr..
Clay was received at New Orleans, on
Sunday, by military escort, but it turns
out that there was military review on that
day andthe troops were reviewed by Mon-
ton, the locofoco Governor of the State.
Mr. Clay went down the River in a steam
boat, which reached New Orleans, on Sat
urday, and on Sunday quietly attended
church. The same story is told about his
reaching Mobile-and we presume with
no more truth. If true he may not have
been at all in the fault II is no common
occurrence-it is what all men are liable
to do who travel by water, and unavoidable
IN certain cases. But it is outrageous to
tell such stories, set out in the coloring
they receive by the locofoco papers and
the I'd party photographers. But we ex-
pest TO see and do see daily in these papers
the most infamous fabrications respecting
Mr.. Clay; and people must expect to see
and hear them. Nothing is too bad for
these defamers of Mr.. Clay to say. They
seem bent upon making an effort to lie him
down as they did Gen. Harrison.
