Those who have read the Union and National INTEL
lgencer since the adjournment of Congress must have
noticed that Mr.. Thomas H. Benton, senator from
the State of Missouri, has, in what purpors to be a
of the United States opposition to the confirmation Of
Bgader General kearny as brevet major general for his
gallant and menonous services IN New Mexico and
California, attempted to Willy the undersigned and
others, against whom that person appears to entertain
feelings of animosity and vndctiveness. Harsh cpl

speech published in the lntellgencer OF the l4th inst
That the verdict of the Senate of the United States

the author represents) well known to the country and
that the finding upon the bill of Indictment then prefer
red by Mr. Benton against General Kearny and others,
including the Undersigned against the prosecutor,
is also well known From the action of Congress at the
late session. and from the action of other constituted
thores OF the country upon subjects connected with
California, the undersigned believes, also, that public
opinion has been made up fully all the transactions
in California in ls4647, and to those engaged

States army, to reply through the columns OF news

sensations OF his conduct and motives, and interruptions

speech, or the scunous epthets applied to him.
If there is shadow of foundation for these
