JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ -
Nothing has created more talk, excitement, and
fun during the session than the manner in which
the whig opponents of annexation were compelled
to meet the question Saturday, through the dex-
trous management of Mr. Rhett, Of South Carolins,
by calling for vote the abstract point, without
the details. The speech of Joseph R. Ingersoli,
whig member from Philadelphia, may be con-
densed into two points, first, that annexation
would increase slavery, and second, that it would
produce war. The remarks sof Charles ]. Inger-
go, on the day previous, who opened the debate
on the democratic side, are considered as most in
Judcious, and confirm previous opinions of this
gentleman that ne has much talent, but little prac-
teal political common sense. HIS position AZ to
the effects upon slavery are also considered
impolitc, and will be denied by almost every
other democratic member who speaks upon
the question: Mr.. Winthrop, q whig member
from Massachusetts, will address the House
on Monday morning, and be followed by
Mr. Douglass, Of Illinois, or Robert Dale Owen, Of
Indiana, the latter of whom will probably make the
most able speech in favor OF annexation that will
be delivered during the session. The whole
strength OF The wing argument will be confined to
the nnconsttu,ionaity OF admission by any other
mode than by treaty, and the dangers Of war and
evils Of extension Of slavery. The democrats will
not only meet these points, but urge the measure Tor
self defence, and self interest a nation, inclusive
OF the night OF Texas to transfer her soil with.
out consent of Mexico. II will make an inter
esting week, and when the question is ready
for vote, the ayes and nays will be called at every
step of its progress OF hisyou may be assured, the
abstract principle OF annexation will be adopted, and
the details left for commissioners to fulfil. The
Oregon question will follew, when DR.. Duncan will
lead of with an able argument. He will also meet
Joseph r. Ingersoll, whenever he introduces his
bill to extend the time Of naturalization, and he
will aso probably amuse the House with speech
on Roorbackism," before the final adjournment.
The members who make themselves prominent in
the extension OF the time of naturalization, will
be placed on the same political shelf with those in
New York city, who sold their party and them
selves In the recent contest to their native allies to
secure votes tor their Presidential candidate. Mel
ther the Wing party nor any other party Will ever
dare to place their names before the people, as the
progressive influence and power of adopted citizens
will defeat them as often as they are nominated -
The naturalization law will never be changed go
to extend the time, and those who have attempt
ed Its repeal will be ever marked when presented
tor public favor.
The annexation Of Texas and occupation of
Oregon will be disposed Of before any other i'm
portant questions are taken up, and those members
who oppose extension OF our territory by proper
means, should refer back to the ayes and noes on
the Louisiana question, and there learn the fate of
its opponents, none of whom have ever since re-
celved the confidence of the people. The occupa-
ton OF Oregon, or OF all that portion of any or
benefit 10 this country, will hardly meet with an
opponent. except those who fear the British lion !;
and 1t is probable that many who oppose anne xaton
will point to their votes for occupation OF Oregon
as an evidence in favor Of extending territory.
But Oregon Is already ours by right of discovery,
boundary and possession, while Texas will be
transferred, as Louisiana was, by its lawful own
ers.
The Hon. Mr.. Gushing, late minister to China,
arrived here on Saturday morning, with some
additional communications to government
from the minister to Mexico, but they possess
nothing of interest. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.
Edward Everett, who Is perfectly incompetent for
the situation, except as the exponent OF the aboll
ton clique OF the democratic party of New York
city, and few eastern friends Of like calibre.
The Senate have confirmed the nom nation Of
Robert Walsh as Consul at Pals. Mr. Walsh
preventative of the democratic principles of pro-
fessed democratic administration. His immediate
connection and ardent yupport of the United States
Bank, while editor of the National GdSetfe of
Philadelphia; and his continued abuse of demo-
cratic principles, should prompt new admin
istratlon to select some one better calculated to
present the views of the dominant party at
the French capital, and thus relieve the country
from the continued attacks Of French and
British scribblers, who daily represent that party
arguments of those whe have represented US
at the two most prominent courts Of Europe
They have evinced both imbeciity and want of
patriotism, and should return to this country for
Improvement
The managing leaders Of the Wing party are
urging the denomination Of Henry Clay for the
Presidency, and it il alleged by a portion of the
democracy that the Monument Fund about to be
raised will prove corruption fund" to effect his
election.
