4plitit4l,
From the South Carolinian.

Mr.. ED1roR-DEAR SIR: You will oblige
me by publishing the accompanying paper,
prepared with some pains by its author Tor
the purpose of rectifying a portion OF Ben
toms book, where he in his narrative deals
unjustly and falsely with the history OF Ger,
tain prominent events and men connected
with the tariff and the Texas annexation con-
troversy of 1914. This correction and reia-
tation was intended to have been made at an
earlier day, but in part owing to Col. bentons
death, in the spring of 1858, it has been un-
til the present time delayed. The reason MT.
Pickens assumes the task to vindicate the
name and fame of South Carolina and MIR.
Calhoun from the aspersions of COL Benton'S
book, he himself fully discloses in the nara
tive. Being the original and now sole de-
pository of the facts upon which Col. Benton
grounds his assertions, the duty appeared im-
perative that he should suffer no further time
to elapse before he made public true state
ment of every thing that transpired between
Mr.. Polk and himself during the visit alluded
to in the "Thirty Years in the United States
Senate" As it may naturally assist IN de-
yeloping the political history of our times;
likely from the thirty years" to be perverted
and distorted, its publication at this time may
be Of some general importance, and may also
be of some service to the State and to the
reputation Of Mr.. Calhoun.
Truly yours,

Frce Negroes in the North.

The N. Y. Herald, of last Thurs lay, levotcs
a column to an inquiry into the constantly
depressing condition ofthe free reyrocs OF the
North, and AYERS that the? are sinking into
helpless and hopeless paupcrism, and winds
up with the following:
"The logical deduction from these facts is,
that the Northern States will re urn to the
Enactment Of the laws establishing negro
slavery, and Sell all the free negrncs into fam
lily scrvitula Humanity will demand thrs, to
preserve them from being reduced to u state
of degradation terrible to contemplate, By the
increasing competition of the white race.
Policy will require it to save the community
from the burden of hundreds Of thousands OF
able.dodied paupers which can make no head
way of themselves. The negro himself will
ask it, in order that he may he restored to
that consideration in society to Which he is
entitled lis man. Thcy will thea be al sord
cd into our families again rs servants,
mechanics, husbandmcn, and will be relieved
from the social ban which now attends them
in consequence Of their doubtful position and
increasing degradation"
Startling as this prediction may appear, re-
marks the Macon IeieWuDh, it could finds its
practical lulilmcnt in Northern towns without
any change in their laws or customs. As
paupers, the negroes cou:d be and probably
are, annually sold to whoever will acccp: their
services and maintain them ut t! C lowest cost
to the town and the misEortuneI Of the ne
groes in this case, Woald be- u liability to a
change of masters every year. The He,mlds
proposition for Il permanent ownership Is
much more humane.

cred to company ofvoluntcer soldiers, duling

lent motives, some on account OF interested
fears, begin to look at the great example we
have set, and begin to look at the consequent
ces which may result from that example
nearer home 1t is impossible to look at the
discussions in the United States of America,
and especially to the conflicts between the
Northern and Southern States, without see
ing that slavery in that nation, stands on o
precarious footing; (cheers,) the same policy
is growing in Brazil and Cuba, &C."
The Hon. John Reed, leading member of
Congress and friend of Mr.. Webster, from
Massachusetts, used this language, in letter
dated 4th August, 1913: "It must be un-
derstood that the free States will neither
consent nor submit to the annexation of
Texas to this Union Such annexation would
result in its dissolution. In fact, it would be
an absolution from the bonds and obligations
of the Constitution"
At the close of the 26th Congress, thirteen
influential members, among whom were the
Hon. John @. Adams, N. B. Calhoun, Cover
nor Slade, Mr.. Morgan, of New York, and
Mr.. Howard, of Michigan, all united in q
manifesto in opposition to Texas annexation,
in which they used the following language:
!" We hesitate not to say that annexation
effected by any act or proceedings OF the
Federal Government, or any Of its depart
ments, would be Identical with a dissolution.
1t would be violation of our national COM
pact, its objects, designs, and the great ele-
mentary principles which entered into its for
nation, of character so deep and fundamental,
and would be an attempt to intermix an
institution Slavery and power, of a nature
so unjust in themselves, so injurious to the
interests and abhorrent to the feelings of the
people of the free States as in our opinion.
not only to inevitably result IN dissolution
Of the Union, but fully t, justify it." In
great and studied address, delivered by Hon.
j. Q. Adams to the young men Of Boston, re-
ported in the National Intelligencer, 18th
October, 1914, he used these striking and
significant words: " Young men of Boston,
your trial is approaching-the spirit of free.
dom and the spirit Of slavery are drawing
together for the deadly conflict of arms. The
annexation of Texas to this Union is the blast
of the trumpet for foreign, civil, servile and
Indian war, of which the Government of your
country, fallen into faithless hands, have al:
ready twice given the signal, frst by a shame.
less treaty, rejected by virtuous Senate, and
again by the glove of defiance, hurled by the
apostle of notification at the avowed policy
of the British empire, peacefully to promote
the extinction Of slavery throughOus the
world, &c.
Mr.. Webster, while Secretary Of State,
made speech at Buffalo much referred to at
the time, in which lie said: II never would
consent that there should be one foot Of slave
territory beyond what the old thirteen States
had at the time nf tho fnrmntim 0f their
