the highest office in the gift of the people VIII

Thus a way is provided by which the nation

tended concern for the South. The leading pol
lticians of the dominant party in your Stale,
regard as a band of Nullifers and disorganizers,
who, with all their cheap professions of chivalry,
and their affected disdain of the alledged sell
fshness OF the Free States, are as time-serving
and Office seeking as any set of politicians with
in the range of my observation. And belief
on the part of Mr.. Calhoun that Cass would be
elected, in connection with his inordinate desire
for office, induced him to order his understrap-
pers in your Legislature to vote for Cass.
And now, gentlemen, look at the positionyour
State occupies Side by side you stand, with
the Abolitionists of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
Arm and arm is South Carolina with the Hart
ford Convention Federalists of New Hampshire
Hand in hand, you are with the Repudlator OF
Illinois! "Cheek by jowl" you are marshalled
among the murderers and thieves of Texas
What a mixture! What political associations !.
For my part never intend to be associated with
a party which expects, needs, OF seeks favor of
South Carolina!
regard your proposition for "Convention
of the Saveholding States" together with an
expressed determination "to resist at all haz-
ards" what you are pleased to style L" the ag-
gressions of the Free Soil Faction" as q reyo-
lutonary movement, having for its object the

pies and will ever be found true to Southern in,
terests, unless the South, in an evil hour should
consent to be led by John C. Calhoun, whom Gen
Jackson sought to hang for treason and rebellion
during his Presidentian reign!
In conclusion, gentlemen, my advice to you
and the citizens of South Carolina whom YOU
represent, Is, to abandon your mad schemes Of
notification and disunion, and submit, as quiet
and peaceable citizens, to the laws and constitu-
ton of our country. In obedience to the in
functions Of Holy Writ, obey them that have
the rule over you" and " be at peace among your.
selves" If General Taylor IS the man take
him to be, and you urge your reasonable schemes
of disunion he will carry out the measures Gen.
Jackson set on foot among you-he will hang
some of your leaders, and subdue the rest of you
at the point of the bayonet He will send among
you that same sterling Wing, Winfield Scott at

From the Emancipat2r & Republican,
California GOld~Mr Bonten'n Speech,

Mr.. Benton has made an interesting speech in
the Senate In opposition to the bill before that
body, relating to Land Titles in California. His
first objection to the bill was, that it coupled
New Mexico and California in one single land
surveying district. He said that the people
could not be accommodated with one Office, at
San Francisco He also objected because the
boundaries of New Mexico were not fixed
Treasury instructions must be sent out to the
surveyors, and then the boundary will be set
tied by officers appointed by the Secretary of
the Treasury. He was in favor of bill for Cal
lfornla, leaving New Mexico to take its chance
hereafter. He thought that there was but little
need of an office in New Mexico, for there are
no public lands in it; so far from there being
any vacant land, there is better chance Of find
ing titles piled three or four feet deep. But
there are public lands in California, and they
ought to be surveyed.
The plan before the Senate, Mr.. Benton de-
clarcd, was in violation of the treaty, in viola
ton Of the law Of nations and Of the decisions
of the United States Supreme Court: plan
unjust in itself and equivalent to confscaton
of the whole landed property of the territories.
The land titles are to be brought before Com
mssloners, to be adjudicated This is an as
sumption that the titles are all invalid. Mr..
Benton went at great length into this subject
showing the plan to be iniquitous and unconsti--
tutlonal.
Mr. Benton proceeded to speak of that por-
ton of the bill relating to the gold regions. We
copy an extract from this portion of the speech
1t will be found very interesting:
What have said, MIR. President, applies to
the first part Of the bill-tho part which relates
to the ascertainment of land titles there is a
second part Of the bill relating to a new subject,
and to which | now speak. This new part re-
