THE MEXICAN PARTY,

The following Resolution, among others, was
adopted by Democratic Meeting held in Trenton
New Jersey, on the 10Th inst:
"Resoiued, That as there British party in
the United States during The last with Eng
land, which afforded C. aid and comfort the enc
N.Y." by its reasonable devices which exu,ed
over our disasters exaggerated our reverses un-
derraled our glorious achievements. and discourag-
ed the enlistment of troops; in the present con-
hict, we have Mexican party in our midst, more
formidable than the enemy without; which can see
nothing in the action of the government 10 COM
mend nothing in the conduct Of Mexico to con-
denim which is zealousIy engaged in defeating
the measures Of the government, in discouraging
the prosecution of the war, and in paralyzing the
patriotic efforts of the peoples
True, every word of it and true especially, so
far as the Federal leaders Of North Carolina are
concerned. There as "a Mexican party in our
midst" to the shame of the Federalists be it
spoken and the people will mark these men for
all time to come. Let The words of Mr. McKNs.
son. an honest Wing in this State, be remembered:
He lcho aims to a0eaken the Efforts Of the Cor.
ernment, as doing his utmost TO prOtraet the War,

SPEECH OF MR.. GRAVES.

We propose to print, in pamphlet form, large
number of copies OF. the Speech of the Hon.
Calvin Graves, of CasweII, delivered in the Sen,
ate at the recent session of our Legislature on tho
Re-Districing Bill. His Speech presents, in a
condensed form, all the facts and many strong ar.
gumcnts against This abominable measure, and
will be of great service 10 our Democratic friends
during the approaching campaign, Indeed it
fell with such power upon the Federal Senators
that no answer TO it was attempted and we hold
it up now and hereafter 10 the people of the Stale,
argument based on truth, which no ingenuity
or statement of facts can controvert.
We shall be able to furnish copies of this
Speech at one dollar per hundred, delivered in
Raleigh; but as under the new Post Office laws
and regulations it mag be that prepayment of
postage will be required, we cannot state this
week what amount ought TO be sent on for copies
We shall make the necessary inquiries, however
and advise our friends at the earliest period pract

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

The Democrats OF New Hampshire have Jus
achieved glorious victory They have tri
umphed over the combined influences of John p
Hale, Abolitionism and Mexican Whiggery, and
the wealth Of the manufacturers of Massachusetts
and they have lifted their State from the pit oil
disgrace into which it was sunk by the election ot
Anthony Colby and men of the same stamp, up
into cordial, and we hope perpetual, communion
with other Democratic CommonweaIths.
The Mexican Whig organs at the North give
it up. The Democratic candidate for Governor
is elected by at least 1000 majority; Democrats
are elected to Congress, and the Legislature will
and honor to the Democracy of New Hamp-
shire! E -
In our next we shall be able to give an accu-
rate statement of the majortes r.
What says the Raleigh Register to this? New
Hampshire has thrown off Abolitionism and Mex
lean Whiggery, and stands gloriously up to the
War and by james K Polk. What says North

General Benton.


In consequence of the importance OF the sab
inct and of the deep ntert ST which the pubic
take in it. and of the various speculations which
have gone forth in the public presses, we hasten
to lay the following correspondence before our
readers II is taken from a printed copy now
b. fore us, which Gcn. Benton has addressed TO
the members Of the Senate.
Il is a subject of much regret, that circum-
stances have prevented the employment OF ms
talents in this branch Of the public service Inc
President regrets it, because he has the highest
confidence in the military talents, the great skil,
and the great energy of Cen Benton. He haa
hoprd to have it in his power to place HIM at the
head of the army The House OF Representa-
tivps had expressed, by very large majority,
their desire to have n gpncral-in-chiet selected by
the President himself: but the whole federal par
ty of The Senate, in coalition with that balance
nfpower party" to whose gracious dspensatlon
we are indebted for our exclusion from the honor
of IoiIing on their privileged sofas, defeated the
proposition and placed the President in an en-
barrassing relation to the whole subject. This
important measure having been thus rejected by
the coalition the Senate, he found on critical
examination of the existing laws of Congress, that
he had no power to designate General Brnton-
Junior major gcneral-to the chief command OF
the army in the field" without superscdng four
other generals who held senior commissions, and
who are at this time employed actiVely IN the
field to have done it at this critical jnncture
would have been to leopard the success of our
arms, and 10 embarrass the military operations
now in process of execution. Under these cir
cumsanccs, much as he regrets the loss Of Gen.
Bentons services in the field, the President felt
himself compelled to pursue the course which his
reply of the 9th points out. Upon the receipt of
this letter, General Benton promptly, and frankly,
and in terms which do him high honor, declined
to accept the appointment of major general in the
army, which the President had offered 10 him,
and which the Senate had so honorably and
unanimously confirmed.
1t is possible that this measure, deemed Of vital
importance by the President, might still have uiti-
mateIy been passed by majority Of the Senate, if
it had not been announced lin conversation) by
some of the federal senator's that they would have
spoken out the remainder of the session on the
last night of Congress, and thus defeated, not only
this bill, but the passage of some of the appropra-
lior bills, Just as the two million bill had been
defeated at the last day of the long session, by
Senator Davis speaking against it. Rather than
lose those bills, so indispensable to keep the
wheels of government in motion during the war,
the friends of the measure (of the appointment of
a commanding generaD were compelled to ab1n-
don it.
By this result. the country docs not lose the
services of Mr.. Benton but he remains in the
high Office Of Srnato: Of the United States, which
he has so long and honoraoly graced.
