y Ny DEAR Mr.. BLAIR: y
| rejoice at the cource our friend Colonel Ben
ton is about to take on the Texas question 1t
will give the subject success, and will-which
have greatly at hcart-restore him to thlt
high confidence of the democracy which he once
so deservedly possessed. Say TO the Colonel,
from me, that the course intimated is the only
proper course, and one which the authorities Of
Texas will promptly embrace, and he will be
hailed over the whole Union as the nag-bearer
of Texas into the Union. BE ii so.

complete has been its transition from ffater-
nal interest in our welfare 10 n rank and emblt-
tered hostility TO our institutions. The legisla-
ton to be found upon this subject, tie statute
books Of the non-slaveh Gliding States, may be d.
yided into two classes.
The frat Of which, would embrace the leg
ton of those States, which protesting seeming
respect for the obligations Of the Constitution, do,
under the pretext Of conforming to its requsitions
subject the slave owner TO conditions utterly in
compatible with the recovery of his slaves.
These laws, in the general, provide,
lst That the fact, whether the person claimed
be slave or not, shall be tried by jury as in
other cases Jury trial.
I'd. That he shall be defended at the public cost.
Sd. If the finding of the jury shall be in favor Of
the slave, that he shall be at liberty, and shall
never thereafter be molested the same claim.
4th. That the claimant Of the slave shall not be
entitled TO any process for the recovery Of HIM,
until he shall give bond with securities, resident
and freeholders OF the State, in heavy penalty,
and with conditions to pay all costs legally
chargeable against him; to pay to the slave so
much per week whilst the proceedings are pend
ing TO pay not only costs, but the expenses OF the
slave, if the jury should find in his favor, and
also to pay u heavy sum to the slave, and all
damages which he may sustain in consequence OF
the proceeding,
any process, except under said acts and of course
shall not execute the act of Congress upon that
subject, under pain of being held guilty of a mis-
demeanor.
1t has already been well observed in regard to
this class of laws, " that they aim an insdIous
blow at the institution Of slavery, through the
forms of honest legislation. That they are palpa-
BILE frauds upon the South, calculated TO excite at
once Ler Indignation and her contempt. II is an
insult to her intelligence to suppose, that she can
see in il any purpose to do her justice. On the
contrary, it is manfestIy, plainly and beyond all
question, continuance to defeat justice; to get
around the plain provisions of the Constitution;
to defeat by indirection, the rights Of Southern
men, and to give liberty to the Southern slave un-
der the specious and decetful pretence Of extend
ing the right of trial by jury"
But in the maddening progress which abo-
tionism has made in the Northern States, this
class of laws has fallen behind the spirit Of the
times, and has yielded to new brood of statutes,
marked by deeper venom and more determined
hostility. And in this class are embraced,
Second. The laws Of those States which affect
no concealment of their hatred to Southern insti-
tutions, nor OF their utter and open contempt and
defiance Of the obligations of the federal compact.

l5ss" The following story of Mr.. WEBSTER
is too good to be lost. AS the Italian proverb
says, if not true it ought to be, We clip il from
the Baltimore Patrioi:
1t is related of Mr.. Webster, that when he
was appointed to address Lafayette at Boston,
he was upon the eve of fishing excursion.
which he did not give up. HTetook his line, and
stationed himself at some distance from the rest
of the company, evidently fishing for something
else than fish, At last he was aroused from his
profound teverie by a Jerking of the line, and
commenced drawing it to the shore with a mon
ster of fish, while at the same time repeating

HERMITAGE, November %. I8

HERMITAGE, November 30. 1887
My DEAR SIR: What must be
the feelings ofMr. Richie and Mr.. Rives upon the
situation ofthe country they have brought about?
Will they join the blue-light Federalists? viii
Mr.. Rives and Mr.. Talmadgc still patronise the
Madisonian-that Grecian horse that DESTROYED
Troy-or vii! they get back to the republicans,
or continue their course, and take Clay and
Webster in their embrace! Do tell me- | am
10th to give up Mr.. Rives, and hope he may re-
trace his steps; but his high standing with the
republicans he never can regain. Mr.. Richie
will get back, after doing great injury to the
republican cause. Can any man who loves his
Government and his country, and has common
sense, advocate the restoration of the revenue
to tho custody of banks, who have acted so
treacherously to the Government and people,
and with such bad faith7 Can any confidence
be reposed that they would not, if trusted with
the depostes, suspend again and bankrupt the
Go. ernment at the bidding of foreign agents,
whenever they could make twenty five per cent.
profit by throwing deprecated paper upon the
hands of labor! The people, with one voice,
say, divorce the Government from all banks.
They have proved treacherous, and ought no
longer to be trusted. Lash those conservatives
and traitors with the pen of gall and NORWOOD.
Let them feel-no temporzing.
Your friend.

1874, he was again a candidate for the nomina-
ton, and the GLIDE continued to support hiui.---
So did the organs aud among them the Rich
nond Enquivsr But the annexation of Texas
was prorosed--and made question ia the can
vass by Mr.. TyLER's administration The
measure was popular, bntit was Southern. Mr..
Van buren, and Mr. CLAY coalesced to defeat
it. The proof of understanding between
them or their friends, is quite plain from the
coincidence of the appearance of their letters
against it; that of Mr.. CLAY being published
here first in the nteiiigencer on one day, and
that of Mr.. VAN buren, The day after in the
Globe-although the writers were far distant
Mr CLAY being then On his Southern tour and
Mr. VAN buren, in New York
But the policy of annexation prevailed, aud
overthrow both candidates and organs. Mr..
VAN buren, was defeated at the Baltimore Con-
venton, and Mr.. Clay, in the election, by Mr..
Polk.
When Mr.. Polk came into power Gen. JACK
SON advised him to retain the Globe, with Mr.
BLAIR, as his organ. But Mr.. Polk had been
nominated by men in opposition to Mr.. VAN
buren, and Mr.. BLAIR ; and Mr.. Polk found
himself under the necessity of getting another
organ, thing he did not contemplate, as is evil
dent from the following remarkable letters of
Gen. JACKSON, published few days since in the
Globe:

My DEAR Sir: Your very acceptable letter
of the 18th January last reached me yesterday,
and hasten to acknowledge it.

have read the political portion of it, as well
as the whole, with much pleasure. AS to your
using my opinions as communicated to you, there
was no necessity for any apology, because
have full confidence in your discretion and judg-
ment; therefore, If any of my opinions may be
useful to sustain the great republican cause, and
open the eyes of the people to their best in
terests, in bringing back the administration of
our Government to the real reading and princ-
pies of the Constitution, as explained and prac-
tised by thd sages who founded it, it is due from
me to the people that my opinions, if desired,
should be known to them y
Sincerely your friend,
