THE END OF THE SESSION

We take advantage of the abslrac, of the
Richmond Enquirer to give our readers The facts
OF the close of the session. II will be seen that
Benton is now no longer Colonel, but .Najor-
General, and is Of course in the line of promo.
ton for the place Of Commander in Chef-we
hope The President may not be mistaken in the
man, but we cannot believe in him ourselves.
We see that WIN. Tod, Of Ohio, has been nomi
dated as Minister to Brazil this indicates the
fact that Mr. Wise is to Teturn-we had hoped
and believed, that when change was made
there, that our own Governor, the true, the tai
ented, the energetic SMITH, would have been
preferred TO that office but hopes are doomed
10 disappointment.

We know not when we have seen more ridi
culous piece of whining, hypocri,ical, political
can't, than is contained in the above extract from
the Mecklenbnrg, N. C. Jeffersonian, which we
find CAPPED into the Washington Union We
cannot vouch for the capacity of the Mecklenburp
editor, but the editor of the Union knows tina,
Mr.. Calhoun and his friends never had any af1lli
alton with the wings. 1t has been his misfur
tune, as well as his glory, 10 be far in advance oil
the housing politicians who are cotemporaneous
with him /; and first the one party and then the
other have seized upon his great principles TO gair
themselves favor with the people and never has
he developed an idea, which, no matter now
much rejected and scoffed, at the time, has moi
been eventually adopted by the Democracy, and
made the "chief Of the corner' of their political
edifice The contemplated SANDER that Mr.
Calhoun " has joined the wings and aboilionsts
on The war question:" ought not to have found a
place in the columns Of the Union; still les,
should The wilful msstaement that he has " ad
vucated. distinctly, the withdrawal of our troops
from Mexico, and disgraceful backing out from
the war" This. the editor of the Union knew
was not true, and courtesy especially at this time
should have dictated 10 him the proprieiy of con
tradctng it. We are not prepared to adopt Mr.
Calhoun's policy. on the line of ccupation laid
down by him, for we go to the extent of making
Mexico feel, in her very vitals, our power I,
avenge and right ourselves; but his suggestion
was any thing else than disgGaceful backing

secure to the United States a section of Mexican
territory, covering an area Of sic hundred thou
sand square miles, with population not exceed
ing 100000 souls which line is to be occupied
by our troops, and held for the use and benefit o
our country generally. His remarks on the VIII
mot Proviso has defined his position on another
subject, and we know many, " i,h Iond professions
on their lips, who have failed to come up to The
standard, either through fear Of The consequences
or hatred TO the principles The time will We
arrive when both lines recommended by Mr.
Calhoun will be adoptcd-the details for holding
the Mexican line may not he exactly what h,
proposes. but the principle will be recognized
