THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY"
From the Gohe of Thursdny evening

CARD.-hly attention has been called to Mr..
Aaron v Browns statement on the floor of the
House of Representatives in which he discaims
the vlcarious character attributed to him in the
affair OF Gen. Jacksons letter, and The converse
ton with myself, and in which he says "the con-
persation CHANGED 10 fall on annexation" This
is great mistake. There was no chance about
1t. MIR. Brown accosed me coming down the
steps of the Capitol, and returned his sautation
with entire civility; when he Immediately began
with glad to see me--wanted to see me-and
commenced talk upon Texas, as thing of pre-.
meditation, and the evident cause of his wishing
to see me. |, seeing the Texas movement then,
as see 1t nova scheme, on the part OF some Of
its movers, to dissolve the Union---on the part of
some others, as an intrigue for the Presidency;
aud on the part of others, Il only speak of prime
movers not the millions who followD as land
speculation and job in scrip,-answered abrupt
ly and warmly-he may tell what But never
attributed to Mr.. Brown any other agency in the
movement than the vcarous Interpolation above
referred to and as to his and my Van Burenism
being the same thing, must beg to be excused.
knew that his would evaporate when and where
1t did, and said so to some friends; and knew
that mine would stand any test. The General
Jackson letter always appeared to me to have
been vcarously obtained and nothing that Mr..
Brown has now said impairs, in the slightest de-
gree, that first belief.

We have next MIR. Calhoun's letter to Mr..
Ren;,n r. Green, the United States Charge dat
fairs to Mexico dated April 10, lS44, Qhe treaty
was signed on the l2th.) This letter is briefly
but strongly characterized by Mr.. Benton as
being one of the most unfortunate that the an
nails of diplomacy ever exhibited. 1t admits this
,orong to Mexico, and offers to fight her for that
wrong; and not for any thing she has done to the
United States, but because of some supposed
operation of Great Britain upon Texas" MIR.
Calhoun argues throughout as it the British Gov
eminent had nepsr denied this "supposed opera
tom" says that the step has been taken in seV
defence, and to counieract the "policy adopted
aud the !" efforts made" by Great Britain to abo-
sh slavery in Texas, though that Government has,
in the most solemn manner, four Times denied that
"policy," and those "eforts." Mr. Calhoun ad.
mits that this treaty has been made in full view OF
" all possible consequences" One of these con-
sequences, according to General Alinonte's de-
claration, will be ioar aeifh Merico All ques-
| tons arising between the United States and Mex
J leo from the annexation Of Texas, including
boundaries" are to be settled on the most libe-
raj and satisfactory terms" What is this but
saying to Mexico, Eve have done you wrong by
one treaty." we will make you amends in another.
| This is not the way in which one independent
1
ihus Great Britain may make of language
of like import to Ireland but surely it is not the
language in which the United States should adj
dress her sister Republic. Can MIR. Calhoun be
in earnest, when he says sthe Government of
the United States would have been happy, if CIR
cumstances had permitted, to act in concurrence
with that of Mexico, in taking the step it has 7"
And that $ the safety of the Union was involved,
or might depend on, the contingency of obtaining
the previous consent Of Mexico ~ The facilities Of
| intercourse between the two countries are SO
great, that surely an opportunity might have been
found Of consulting with Mexico, during the time
| the treaty was connecting.
| Mr.. Tyler's message to the Senate, dated May
| Is, says:
The Executive has negotiated with Texas
as an independent Power of the world, as sub
ordinate in all her rights of full sovereignty to no
other Power
Then why write to Mr. Green about the
"preuious consent of Mexico The tenor of
the Presidents message, and the tone of the
despatch to Mr.. Green, are in direct conflict, and
neither Of them borne out by just conclusions to
be drawn from well established facts.
will now close this branch of my examine
| ton, in which | have aimed to establish two
points: First, that the treaty of annexation has
done great injustice, and is a breach of national
faith towards Mexico; and secondly, that, adj
hitting cessity is ever good plea for doing
wrong, no such necessity has been established in

and GoGcM and SUMMERS, of Virginia. A hand
some and plentiful collation. was prepared in the
woods, enough to feed an army. The day was
extremely unpropitious for an outdoor meeting,
1t having commenced raining even before the
people began TO arrive; but the ardor and enthu-
siasm of the true Wing urged them on
The speaking was continued throughout the
day, in the neighboring houses as well as in the
woods and though feeble in health, but warm in
hearts, Messrs. Stephens and Smith addressed
the gathering amid the rain.
The right spirit is awake throughout the land !;
and the evidence exhibited at this meeting is
but forerunner of what the people Of Virginia
mean to do in the coming contest Keep the
ball in motion" Proclaim the principles Of the
party from every hill top and valley of the Old
Dominion, and so sure as the day Of election
arrives, the banner Of her o,on son will be found
waving in triumph over the State. Virginia

We regret exceedingly that we were unable
to accept the invitation to be present; but as
this is but the beginning of the work in Fairfax,
we have hope that we shall yet be with them
on similar occasion.
