Who Are Free Soilers2

We are beginning again 10 hear the cry of
free sell and are1ed to ask, who are free
'oilersG In reply, we beg TO offer Maj.
c. T. JAcKsoN's definition, as given last
winter, during the discussion of kindred
subjects in the Legislature. We quote from
his speech, delivered during the afternoon
session On the 9th of February
"Mr. JACKSON continued his remarks
lie said he was speaking Of the Kentucky
revolutions at the time of adjournment. Mr..
!. said he did not intcnd 10 denounce dny man
as q FREE soILER, because he entertained the
opinion hat Congress HAD RIGHT 10 lrgiS-
late on The subject Of Slavery in Territories,
but it was the principle that it was the duty
Of Congress TO do so, Which characterized the
FREE soILER."

#"How often has Benton changed h

IL" How often has Benton changed his
politics ?" This is favorite question with
the Antics just now, and they answer it as
follows: First, Clay Wing; then Jack
son Democrat, denouncing Freesoilers; and
now he is the "leader of the Soft, Freesoi,
Disorganizing party in Missouri" "He
comes on the stage brawling Clay Wing,
and will go off as q Soft of the ''Horse AL
len school," We never had any faith in
Benton, and few years since, when we
urged the people 10 drop him, many of those
who now abuse him, "swore by their
boards" he was the greatest of living
Statesmen. He is about as great now as lie
ever was but the old f;llow would ''nei-
Their resign or de-" and his former friends
set about s!aughtering him, and a rough job
they have had Of it, and he is not dead YET

THE MEsILLA VALLEY-PRospEcr WAR.
The annexed letter is of serious import.
1t is from the intelligent and generally well
informed correspondent Of the Journal of
Commerce, we know, says the National
Inleligencer, that its statements are sub
stantially correct SO far as they relate 10 Gen.
Garland's departure for the Upper Rio
Grande, and the strong force OF all arms
which will be there under his orders.
Washington. June l.-Gen. Garland, who
has been here, en- route for New Mexico,
has left for his important command. He
arrived here in much less time than was cx-
pected, after he had been summoned to this
place. He has received his instructions,
and l conjecture that they embrace both
diplomatic and military powers. He is I'M
doubleday to proceed forthwith 10 New
Mexico and 20 march into the Mesila Valley
with force that will enable him 10 encoun-
Ter Gov. Tras, who is there before him, and
who is prepared 10 expel him or any other
Americas intruder. Ii may be that Cover
nor Trias will retire before Gen. Garland,
and that Santa Anna will suffer the United
States 10 take and keep possession of that
disputed territory. But such is not the APP
parent intention of the Mexicans.
! Our Executive Government have decided
that the disputed territory belongs 10 us un-
der the treaty, and would be ours supposiug
the boundary line TO be run from IA point
immediately north OF Ell PaSo" westward.
! 1t is of 10 Use now 10 go into the merits
of this controversy. say again that our
Executive has decided the question, and ii, is
TO the results OF that decision that we are tc
look. 1t is 10 be hoped that this dispute
will be allowed 10 be settled in the maine r
contemplated in the treaty of Guadalupe, by
! running the line over again or in case OF i
final disagreement, to refer the dispute tc
the arbitration of some third party. Bul
arms are now introduced by both parties il
the dispute, and both parties indicate .
resolute intention 10 settle the question by
arms. Gov. Trias may give way, but he
has moi occupied the Mesilla Tor the purpose
of yielding it. He has not gone there with
a force of thousand men for the mere pur.
pose of giving up the territory 10 Genera
Garand.-With smaller escort he cou!l
do that.
We have seen the first Mexican war, and
know its origin and its immediate pruvoca
ton The circumstances of the present cast
are similar TO those Of the former. The
advance on Corpus Christi and upon Mat.
nmoras kndled the first war, and the secont
may be accustomed by the movement upor
the Mesilla valley.

E5We observed Abner's account Of Mr..
Switzler's speech, and it is about on par
with his statements generally. Truthful
ness, and decency Of expression, he rarely
uses, when speaking of an opponent.
He can get into your show without buy

slandered. The Indian said ''a lock Oh

Senator Atchison's Speech.

The "Weston Reporter" gives us the
following synopsis of some Of the points Of
Senator Atchison's speech, recently deliv-
cred in that place. The speech is 10 appear
in full, in the Argus.
1.-The General expressed himself as
strongly in favor of the immediate organi-
cation OF Nebraska, provided 1t could be
left open for the settlement of people from
all the States, both free and slave, and leave
the question of Slavery 10 be decided by the
people themselves, bv actual settlers in the
Territory. We approve of this measure, il
it can be so done under the Missouri Com
promse;" this, in orr opinion, is the vexed
question. The General further remarked
that it had been imputed 10 him, by Mr..
Guthrie, the delegate from Nebraska 10 Con-
gress, last winter, he (Gen. Aichison) Told
him (Guthrie) that he had rather see Ne
braska Territory sunk in hell than see il come
in as Free Soil Territory, or with the Will
mot Proviso attached" The General did
not remember Of having made Use Of the ex-
preston, but if he did, it was correct, an,
he entertained the same opinions Mt the pre-.
sent time and would always vote against its
organization, with this proviso attached
He next turned his attention 10 the Pacific
Railroad question; he dwelt at considerable
length upon this subject, but space will not
permit us TO 20 into the details Of that part
of his speech, as we presume our neighbor
Of the Argus will give us the speech en-
tire. He expressed himself as strongly in
favor Of this great work, and preferred 10
all routes that the Eastern terminus or start
ing point of this Road should be on the
Western frontier Of this State, either at st.
Joseph or Kansas, or some point between
the two. But that il after all the surveys
had been made by the Government Engi-
neers, for which surveys an appropriation
was made by Congress at its last session, }
and la full report Of those surveys had beer
examined and it should prove that some
prints other than those above mentioned
either 81. Louis, Memphis or other point:
above or below should be decided upon as
! more practicable, he would willingly Civ,
| his vote for establishing that point. Bin
that he was opposed 10 all routes until sucl
surveys and reports had teen made anc
passed upon, and more particularly to tina
proposed route of Col. Benton's, who he
' denounced as the greatest humbngger O
this day and generation; he ridiculcd the ide
. Of Lieut.. Beale's survey across the plain
in fifty days ,he allowed it was only eq,illle,
by Benton's buffalo Engineering" som,
] years ago. Quite large portion of hi
:, speech was devoted 10 Col. Benton's parii
, cular benefit, whom he handled withou
mittens and with, evidently, good will
: But as this personal abuse and villtication
y of each other, is no business of ours, w,
= are willing 10 let them fight it out amony
n themselves, perfectly Indifferent as to ii
, final result"

Chit Chat of the Enemy.

The Editor of the "Grand River Chroni-
Gle" obtained the following extracts from
the letter of friend in Lewis county. The
opposition amused themselves by writing
such letters, and talking about ''nullifers"
and "lree soilers," hoping 10 distract the
wings at their Convention. They signally
failed, however. Mr.. Lindley was nomina-
ted, and Davis s. Co.. heartily seconded his
nomination, and will most cheerfully sup
port him. lie is now in the field and will
defend himself. The "Chronicle's' friend
says:
Il am very sanguine of the election OF
'Claib.' Lindley is the strongest man in this
region that the wings can run. He will gel
a few shabby Bentonites an This region, ant
probably some good democrats, Ga very few
think, on account Of personal friendship
l think it highly probably that the Howard
wings will choke him oh-an effort is now
being made 10 do this, and Lindley is very
urathy. He is one of those wings who
believe Congress has no power TO prohibit
slavery in the territories and in this
differs with the bulk of his party. Fol
thinking thus, the wings of Howard, (Davi.
& Co., call him "nuli,fer."
at will be very signal triumph of tn,
party to elect Jackson, and q death bloU tc

may turn up, we intend to do our ieUel beS
over here. Benton has no foot hold here.
