seems cruel TO speak OF hitn- 10 argue !olclois
one dav thai most important measure violates .ne
CONSTITUTION. and be bulied or brloed into vouns
for that yery measure next cay, Is worse fortune
,,an eyer before befell any public man The addi-

or modified the preceding proposition, which ex-

had pronounced unconstitutional, and which ne

Walker Benton portion Of 1t simply gives more
power-deracts nothing from that stipulated IN
the foregoing. Poor Ragby, Hamlet, that was

There is nothing more dangerous than such as
sumption. Better admit yoursefthe base thing you
are.
And BEsroS, the Boanerges Of Democracy. how
is his roar changed 10 wIimper the most con-
temprible Protesting 80 much independence and
resolution, declaring the House Resolutions fatally
Objectionable, but meekly licking the rod when Inc
trial of his courage came, how weak, how fallen
He had wit enough, however, not 10 make i'esA
Speech TO swallow at last, along with his lnde-
pendence and his consistency No nan knows
better than Benton that the Walker amendment
is perfect farcc-that il Is not even gull, because
il was intended only 10 cheat those who wisned 10
be cheated. No, one objection to the House pro-
nosjtion is even softened-,here is no stipulation
for the consent of Mexico, nor even for the poor
ciYty Of notifying her OF our resolve, and seeking
her acquiescence. No stipulation that Freedom.

When Polk was nominated for President, Ben
ton remarked to friend that he O. was the
worst used up man in the Union." He was mistaken
tiun. No man can be utterly used up except by
himself It took Benton TO eXt'nsuish Benton
As to DIX, NILES, TAPrAH, we tcped something
from the position of the FIRST the word oithc second,
and The express Instructions TO back the known
feelings and principles OF the last. But what are all
these to the nod OF one who by word can give the

As TO the three Wing Senators 80 raled---her.
rick is notorious traitor, and will neverPretend to
be Wing again, except for mischief. Johnson
was elected by the Loco-Focos over his Whig pre-
decessor, Conrad, by the aid Of only fre Wings,
and thus felt under obligations TO them. He Is
less culpable If we make allowance for the strong
feeling in Louisiana in favor OF Annexation, They
want chance there to hunt legally for runaway
slaves in Texas, which is now done under the Code
Lynch. Mr. Johnson will probably continue a
Wing As for Henderson OF Mississippi, ne has
voted more Loco Foco than Whig ever since he
was elected. He even voted for Tyler's Treaty
He was the only Wing Senator ever chosen from
that State, his time is out to-day; and if they can't
send truer men, we hope Mississippi won't try TO
send Wing again. One such lsenough for CEN

ing in his State--but Nen'ick how can we for
get him
We rejoice that Mr.. FOSTER OF Tenn. did not
vote for the Resolutions, and that only enc Wing
supported them in the House.
