FitZ Warren and the Widows

Some time ago we noticed the case Of
widow with a helpless family depending
upon her for support, who was proscrib

by her deceased hus band. and removed IA

now see it announced that Mrs. F. Ster.

fathers upon the children, may all be well
enough IN the scrip:ural sense in which
it is used; but it seems like stretching the
rule when helpless and inofienIing wi
dows are made TO suffer prescription for
the mere accident Of their former union
with men who thought it their duty to vote
against Gen. Taylor. After the old hero
had been kissed by SO many of them, We

MIR. Rcnton's speech.

Wehave purused this lengthy document
with satisfaction and edifcation-s atisfac-
ton in learning from it that his position
upon the doctrine Of instruction and the
exciting question of the day is not exact
ly as has been represented, and that edi-
fication which any man, no matter how
well "posted up he may be, cannot fail
to receive from Old Bullion, whenever he
makes his great talk upon great ques-
ton.
Col. Benton has not disobeyed his in
structions. He only appeals from the
fraudulent manner in which he charges
that they were passed, through the efforts
of his enemies in the Missouri Legisla-
ture, he having two years before received
and faithfully acted upon instructions to
adhere to the Missouri compromise act.
these instructions being but mere copy,
as he charges, Of the Calhoun disunionre-
lutions. If we understand Col. Benton
Alright, heproposes to resign in case eoun.
ter instructions are not given him. He says
that the Wilmot Proviso Isl mere abstrac-
ton; that it ought not to pass; that there
is no slavery in the new territories, land that
there cannot be withou, express enactmen!
1t having been abolished by the Mexi-
can authorities in lS29-and that law
establishing it there will not be asked for
by southern factionists, or desired by the
inhabitants of the territories, as the form
er are cut off from such request by their
denial to Congress of the right to legislate
upon slavery for the territories, and the
latter, representing almost entirely free
soil countries, will never desire its estab-
lishment. Further, he asserts the right
Of Congress to legislate upon the subject
of slavery in the territories. This is the
only point upon which Mr.. Benton is at
issue with large portion of the demo-
cratic party--they, although to great ex-
tent divided upon the subject, deny
that right to Congress. The justice and
propriety of such interference he de-
nounces, however, preiering thaits dispo-
sition be left to the people of the terrific
ries themselves.
No man could be laid out more effec-
tually than Col. Benton has laid out that
arch disunionist, Calhoun. He proves
him to have been the real father of the
Wilmot Proviso, at one time, while Sec
rotary at War, as cabinet officer, admit
ting the right Of Congress to leg;slate up
on the subject of slavery in the territories
(even legislating it out of territory where
it then existed) and at another, advocating
the adoption of the Missouri compromise
act, thus making free territory Of a part
Of Texes.
The speech is very long-about twen-
ty columns of our paper-but we have
thought that we could not do our readers
better service than to publish it in our
two next numbers, the great length of
the L. S. law preventing lis from begin
