We are of the opinion (and that opinion ii formed after mature r onsideration! that a convention is unnecessary, and that the Whips can unite upon candidates every way suitable and enl tiled to the coiiftdcnro of the public.

Then she was eager lor annexation, now we have no ev idence thai she is strongly nitric lied to ihe project. Then her territory was comparatively unui cumbered, her debl was bul a tnlie. Torn by intestine commotions and division!, Ihe power of Mexico to resent a union lietween the two countries, was then much less formidable than at present. Yet, Martin Van Huron utterly rejected every overture in favor of aunexntion, nud instructed his Secretory of Stale, Mr. Forsylh, a Sotiihero man, to decline any liege-lialion having for its object the annexation of Texal lo Ihis t'nion.

In January, 1828, a Jack ton Convention, was held in Cot' umbui. Il was w hispered abroad thai Gen. Jnckson was ihe enemy of Protection and of a Protective Tariff'. Hit friends were just about placing him More ihe eountry, at iheir candidate for the Presidency, They saw (hat his prosjiects must, be ondiiugered if the impression got nbrond that lie was hostile lo Protection, then so popular with the people of every scrlion oflhc counlry, but more cstcciHlly with those of the North and Wesl. They pill forth an Address indignantly denying that he was hostile lo Protection, and affirming that ho hrd over been its devoted friend. They even called in question the feelings of Air. Adamt, on the subject of a Protective Tariff, became he had not made the question as prominent iu all his message ns they thought il ought lo haw Iwcn, in view of Us importance, hut, as to Gun. Jackson's views, they contended there could lie no doubt. He had never wavered, ho had never hrsilnled in ihe expression of his views. Hit letter to Ur. Colman iu favor of a home market and American Industry, Ihey adduced ns triumphant evidence of his devotion lo a Protectiit Tarijf? At this time, it was, thai f7ic following resolution was brought forward in the Legislature of Ohio, It was passed without a dissenting rote. It goes, lo its full length, the doctrine of Protection. It il a solemn expression of ihe public opinion of Ohio, at lo the duty of Congress, to contend for American Industry in opposition to ihe restrictions lint were placed upon it Men. just as fully as ihey are now, by Knghind, France and other Government!. It even went a step further than we now ask; it ought to protcrl the manufacture of spirits, from the domestic material. Tim WOOL interest was placed in iho very front. How strikingly tl contrasts with the declaration of Mr. Pd1.k, that Wool ought tobe admitted duly free I By the doctrine put forward, with such extraordinary unanimity, by the people of Ohio, at thai limn, we still stand. It was sound, il was proprr, it was truly democratic then, and it is democratic ttill. The Whigt of Ohio stand now, at they ttood then.

We were not surprised nl the assaults upon Iho Journal, for broaching a tubjeet to unwelcome lo guilty enrs. We were not turprised at the hold, rceklc hardihood displayed by Mr. Tod, in utterly denying the charges brought against him, in reference lo his vntes, after we had listened In a display of ignorutice and demit-gogueism from him, on olhrrsuhjtjcU, insulting to every retire ting man. We teere surprised, however, when we saw Mr. Tod ami hit friends attempting to prove by ilet H'hi. Ilerr, that the former was favorable to the bill for the protection of religious meetings! Wo wcro surprised, berauso Ihey musl have known, that by introducing Mr. Herr as a witness lo exculpate Mr. Tod, they were paving Ihe wuy for a condemnation, fmm wliirh there was no escape. Hot, if we were surprise) to sec them intrndure the letter ol Mr. Ilerr three or four times, in order lo establish the innocence of Mr. Tod, lint musl have been our sensations, when wc beheld in the Statesman of Insl evening, a most shameless and unblushing nt-null inton lhal ditiuguilied divine, for having given a clear and succinct histnry of Ihe course of lite Legislature UMin a bill entrusted more especially to his care and management! What musl have been our surprise in tee ihnsc wIm had first dragged hit nnmc into the roulroversey, now lurn rouiiil end, by bae imicmlo, attempt to invalidate hit testimony, impeach Ins honesty and integrity, and call in question his motives and designs T What musl honetl, candid men think of those who, alter nl tempting In rxculpaic ihcmtelvei from a charge made against litem, by introducing the testi mony of one of ihe first men of the Methodist Church, lurn short round and abuse ami Indie him, as soon as Ihey find llmt his own testimony rondeinns them T A degree of turpitude ami detpnralinn such as is here displayed, musl excite indignation and loathing among honesl men nf every pnrty. The attack it without ihe shadow of justification i hearth1! and infamous. The intimation that Mr. Herr't teller wni got up for "political purposes,' written nt il was, when Mr. Tod wni mil liefore the people of iho State, and when there was no excitement of the public mind on ihe subject, is contempt able and grovelling to all intents. Mr, Herr't character, wc wc imagine, it two well cilnUislied, rveu in lliit community, lo snlTor from such imputation.! Tho intimation that he ilisreca riled the interests of ihe church, in order In (Tefr.it tlie bill and thus make "political capital," would only have locii ullcrcd by a mnn lost to all seme of truth, honor nud propri ety. It it nf a piece, precisely with the assaults made Uhii Mr. Frclinghuysen, whose i level ion to tho interests of tlie Christian Church, have Ik'CH made the basts nf the rhirge of bigotry, hostility to die Catholic Church and favoritism to-wanls jVoriec Americanism! Tho attempt to invalidate (he testimony of Mr. Tod's own political friends, in onler to screen him and iinitugn Mr. Herr't word, will hardly subserve Ihe miserable design of the Statesman's writer Why was llH'Iciirr of Mr. Herr ftnt introduced and relied upon as the sole evidence nf the innoeer.ee nf Mr. Toil if he it unworthy of credit I Hoes Mr. Tod and hit friends eipecl lo atlvnnce their own cause ami prospects, by casting their slime upon a man whose reputation as a Christian miuisier ami a ritixen, is beyond even nit pic ion T W hy not retort lo ihe records and prove by Mr. Tod s rofrf and speeches that ho was friendly to the bill in question and it not obnoxious lo the charge made by his own intimate crsonn ami political friend I Thty cannot, ihey Onto not attempt it. The facts at recorded by Mr. Herr ami adduced by iho Journal ennuot I gainsay cd. The attempt lo excite sympathy for Mr. Tod, by a charge nf intolerance upon lhoo who have brought up the records a-gainst him, is loo transparent to delude any one.

They it is who have abandoned the discussion of principles, ami started Iho cry of "mxirj' headed murdertr," "blackleg," "tiabbath-breaker," and "debauchee," against Henry Clay, one of the first and noblest Statesmen ami vntrinlsofihu hind.

We have convicted him of Iho liases!

We have convicted him ul maligna! nnd un miiiitntcd falsehood, in denying charges brought nguiosl him, w ilhout attempting lo controvert, by proof, tlie strongest positive evidence against hint. The testimony of Mr. Ifanderitm and Mr. Ilerr, and hit own volet and acts, w ill go out before Ihe jieople, ami ihey will say whether a mm wlin was mainly instrumental in rant, ing the! defeat of a bill for Ihe proteclion of rcligiout meetings, against crying ev ill. it worthy of their confidence and sutlra-ges, in uposiiiun to the exemplary aud noble hearted Hart' MOHK UKNUM'IA'I'IONS ITHKY COMK!

MR. POLK ALWAYS AGAINST THE Cl'MIIER- LAND KOAD ! HIS VOTES PRODCCED! Our contemporary, of the Dayton Transcript has eiamin od and produced the records, and established lieyond question, that JAMES K. POI.KNEVER VOTED KOR THE CUMBERLAND KOAD. We thall give hit votes in our uexl. HEAR AN ANTI-TEXAS LOCO FOCO! The New York Evening Poll, a Loco Foco paper, lhat hat ventured, from the first, lo express an opinion occasionally against Annexation, aud against the means lhat led lo die nomination of Mr, Polk, thus speaks of the retuli of the Louisiana election, As Iho Statesman it determined lo dis credit Whig authority a lo ihe result uf ihe rcceul election, peihapt tl will prefer iho following from a source that a ioco Foco dare not call into question : On looking over the returns of the Louisiana election, nl far at they h.ive been received, it it impossible lo avoid Iho conclusion lhal the makeweight of the Teint question, by which il was expected lo crry the Slate iu larur of ihe Democratic lirkel, has not had ihe rffeci which many antiei-paled. The Whigs, il is true, have nothing to boast of but ihey who thought the Texas question would carry all before it, aio disappointed. If any ol the Southern States arc interested in Ihe TuxBt question, k it Louisiana, which borders on the new republic. It win the fear lhal Texas might put an end lo slavery wuhin her limits, which awakened ihe impatient desire in the South lo tec her anueied tn our confederacy. The inconvenience of having au asv him close, ul hand for fugitive slaves would, in thai case, be principally fell by Louisiana. Il wut from Louisiana thai we heard ihe first of those vrlicnieiil protests wlurh have since Ik'Cii so oltan repeated in the Southern Stales against die plan of Mr. Andrews, which was said aud with some reason, we lielicve, Iu have tecrelly favored al first by President Houston the plan of emuiicipaliug Ihe slaves of Texas, by meant of loans procured from European capitalist on the security of the. public land. If therefore we could hnvo expected thai Ihe noiniuniion uf a Democratic candidate for the Presidency fricmily In the amiexniion of Texas would have an ell'ert upon Ihe vote of any Stale iu iho Union, it would have been the ote of Louisiana, particularly as a candidate hostile lo annexation istuoimunled on ihe other side, and the entire W lug party have taken a decided sluud against Iho measure. One nughl have looked, unless Iho zeal in favor of annexation had been grossly exaggerated, to see Louisiana inking up ihe Democratic ticket with an enthusiasm which no ties of party attachment could restrain, atut bearing it into p'ace up4n thrjlood tide of a triumphant ma fori ty. W hnl. however, ii the actual result 1 The elections lo the Legislalure, show iIihi iho two parties in thai Stale aro almost evenly balanced, aud ihe journals are laboring in make il appear, eai h that ill own side has gained ihe advantage. Il it worth while lo inquire inlo the causes of this result. Iu thu first place, it is prett y clear Ihut the zeal for annexing Texas to this country, which prevails in the Southern portion of the Union, is by no means so vehement nt hns been rep. resented. A great denl ol il hns consisted in mere noise. Tlie friends of Mr. Tyler, the nllire-holden, nlfecled great interest in Ihe mailer Imtiiiisc il was rxiecled uf lliem by Iheir patrons iu the ndmunstralion. Tlie enemies of Mr. Van Burro ei pressed the same zeul, iM-enuse thev taw lhal il might be used to exclude nun from Ihe noniinnuon. The speculators in Texas lauds, joined inlo swoil ihe clamor, because ihey exacted lo meet with a letter tale for iheir lands whenever Ihey should come under Iho government uf the United Stales, Meantime, I lie doubts and misgivings concerning the men so re, which ninny ninsl have fell for in this question of thu nimexation of Texas, considered in ill rued upon Iho inleresl of the Southern Stales, much may be said on bnlh sides remained unexprvsed. Doubt nnd reluctance never make half the noise thai is made by political and personal inleresl. Thu result nf ihe election shows lhal a large portion of the people nf Louisiana lire mil friendly lo the immediate Huiicxaiion of Texas, ID We received ycsl rday, from the handi of a friend, a copy nf the PhilwithropiM, published on the 16th, containing tome remarks about iho letter of Mr. Mitchell, of Kenturky, pub. Iiihcd in the Journal some Iwo weeks since. Tho editor of tW' Philanthropist, w-ih ipiile an ostentatious display nf w hnl he would call ruudnr and justice, proKisci lhat we should publish a letter written by Mr. Itimry, some years since, in reply to strictures made upon his actions nnd motives; conditioning llmt be will place before his 3),'100 renders, Ihe Idler of Mr. Mitchell, nl the iniue time. We have rend Ihit letter of Mr. Ilirney, although wo did not know of its existence nt the lime of Ihe publication of Mr. Mitchell's letter. Il will occupy nearly twice the amount of space taken up in our columns by the latter, nnd nl ihe risk ol the unfavorable opinion of Dr. Daily, we mud declare lhal wc know of no good reason why we should burthen our column! wilh such nn iimouul of mailer in defence of Mr. ilirney. We arc free to admit, however, (and we think his friends can nk no more,) that the conduct of Mr. Ilirney, in the emancipation of hit laves, a p teari in a much more fnvnruhle lit hi when explained by himself, than it does nt drnwn cut for the public eve by our Kentucky friend. Wc find much to praise ami com mend in the course of Mr. II. townrds his slaves, and little to condemn, if he has faithfully represented the facts, in the teller alluded to. This much wc leel culled upon to tay, and nol a w'ord more. The main fnris touched upon by Mr. M it-chell, arc not disproved, but Ihey receive a very different coloring from Judge Ilirney 1) the editor of the Philnnihropist would yield twice as much space to the defence of Mr. Clay, at ho has orropied in assaults upon the motives and actions of that distinguished mau, he would ln compelled In enrmaeh upon hi adver tising column! somewh;tl, or enlarge his piqier. We think Ihe. Whig paper of the counlry can hardly he charged with vimlicliveness towards Mr. Ilirney. We have very seldom, ecu hit name nieiilionrd in iheir columns.

I He declares Uial me loiff oppresses the farmer by obliging THE WHIGS ANDTIIKIII MEASURES. It i with hi tlio knowledge of evory intelligent man thai, when tho Whip Presidnnt, (icn. liarriuon, came into office, he found an empty Treasury, and tho country burdened bosidca by his predecessor in office with debu fur the payment of which nu care had been taken, and a revenue less than the current expenses of the Government, which also the " Democratic" Administration lind left, unprovided for. An extra Lsnssion ol onn-ress at the earliest prac ticable moment becnthe inevitable, and a proclama tion to that elloct was issued by President Harrison, as soon ns tho stale of the finances canto to be with any certainty ascertained. Hoon after issuing tins proclamation, rresmem Harrison died ; but his proclamation held good, and Conprcss, having" assembled, went lo work to provide temporarily for the necessities of the Government, by authorizing loans and tho eminsioii of Treasury notes to an amount sufficient to keep the Government a going until & moro permanent revenue could be de vised. At a regular session of Congress following', the Whirs went steadily to work to establish a revenue for the support nf the Government. In this effort they encountered the hostility of all tlio elements of a bold and confident minority, and received no aid or countenance from the few mends trio President had in Congress. Tlio Government was in tho mean time becoming more and more involved, and its credit growing daily less, until it hnd hardly a dollar in tlio t reasury, end its credit wns so lar reduced that an agent sent abroad to make a loan could find no trace of it after a diligent search, but was laughed at by all Europe tor his pains. In Ihe lace ol every difficulty, tne u nit's laid themselves out upon the work, and, surmounting all impediments, passed a Tnritl bill, which the President nut his voto upon, for reasons more exceptiona ble titan even the cxercwo ul the veto in such a case. Discouraged, but not disheartened bent upon discharging Ihtir duty in the face of every obstacle the Whigs ngain put their shoulders to the wheels of the car of Government, by this time set fast in a slough, and, at tlio temporary pnerifice of a cherished fonturo of their plan of Government, passed another Tariff bill, which received tho signature of the Pres. dent, became tho Tarilf net of J rt I', snd at once set the Government machine again iu motion. Thin is the only part of the general plan of Whig administration which tho Whigs, whilst they had the mnjorily in both Houses of Congress, were able to carry into cllect; and they carried itagnkist the almost nnaniiiMiiiH vote of the Locofoco party, who be-gnu, from tho very dny nf its passage, to threaten its repeal, and have attempted to repeal it at every opportunity they have since had. Tho best commentary upon Ihe policy of the Whigs, so far as it is embodied in this act, ii a comparison but ween the condition of the Government and country when that law piBiud, and (heir condition now. Thtn the Government was unablo to borrow money upon any terms, AW, six per cent stock of the United States is selling nt fourteen percent, advance upon it pir vnlno, and tho Government could, without dith'culty, borrow a hundred millions of dollars at loss than live per cent interest. TAftt, without a dollar in the Treasury, the Government was dependent on fresh issues of Treasury Notes (below par in the market) for meeting its engagements, .Vow, there is an amount of eight mil- linim nf dollars nrtuallv in I lin Trnasurv. which will probably be increased by tho first of January next lo a surplus of Twelve Millions of dollars, almost onotigh to extinguish the whole debt created by the last Administration. Thtn, in every vocation in life, and in every branch of industry and trade, wero visible stsgna'tinn, de spondency, and dismay. AW, in all branches of industry, agriculture, commerce And manufactures thero is comparative activity, enterprise, and prosperity.It is the policy which has brought about these blessings tint tho Locofocos are bent upon dostroy- ing. It wns again.it this policy that all the efforts of the leaders of that party were bent at tho lost Scs sion of Congress. It is against this policy tint they are waging tho most deadly warfare in supporting tho election of Mr. Polk, known lo bo opposeed to it against Mr. CUy, its earliest, Headiest, and most zealous advocate.

Prof. R Wright now on a visit to England, has tho following remarks on Cheap Postage, in one of his Letters published in tlie Boston Chronicle: "You may eend a letter of no matter how many pieces of paper, or containing no matter what dry uoitance, il it docs not weigh over half an ounce to any part of the kingdom, for a penny or firoernfj; il it weighs less than an ounce, lour cents, and so on. 1 rnti hoe wonderful consequences.

The convenience of this ar rangement for making little purchases, collecting little debts, &c. must he felt to be understood. "In connection with tho great carriers, whoso ar rangements for the delivery of parcels, after the manner of Harnden & Co, ramify all over the kingdom, the Cheap Post a go aud Money Order System givo the country all tho advantages nf tho city. They givo a life blood circulation, which makes peoplo strong, wiso and happy. 1 wish I could blow a trumpet on this subject llmt "would reach evory log-house beyond the mountains."Fellow-countrymen, wo have tho power in tho United States lo Have a system as good and as cheap.

For instance, tho IMikeot Wellington has a ball at Apalry House. The company begin to assemble at 1 1 o'clock, P.

BENTON, or MISSOURI, In the Senate of the Vnxtt d Stales, June 15, 18 M, in reply to Mr. McDuffit. Rising, as Mr. McDuffto concluded, and tuning up the last words of his speech, Mr. Benton exclaimedbut with this great difference! tins great difference! that my bill refers tho question of war with Mexico to Congress! where all questions, of war belong! and tho negotiators of this Treaty made the wur themselves ! They, tho President and his Secretary of State, made tho war themselves ; and mado it unconstitutionally, perfidiously, clandestinely and piratically. The secret orders to our army and navy wcro piratical, for they wero without law; and to waylay'aud attack a friendly power, with whom wo have a treaty of amity ; and as a member of a court martial, 1 would sentence to be shot any oflicer of the army or navy, who would dare to attack Mexican troops or ships, or cities, under lhat order. Officers are to obey lawful orders, and no others; and they are not to make war by virtue of any Presidential order, until Congress had declared it. They may go to tho place under the orders of the President; but to attack the ships and troops of Mexico is unrulier affair, and subjects them to responsibility fur which an illegal order is no justitication. The army and navy belong to the U. S. and not to the President and his Secretary ot State; and no dogrco I of ignorance no feeling of subjection or passive obedience can justify officers iu a case of flagrant illegality. General Wall, a govornor and a general in (he British service, was hanged twenty years after the event, for illegally putting ono man to death ; whnt should be done to American officers, whose fualty is due to the law and not to individuals, who should commit war by virtue of illegal orders? Happily, the rejection of the Treaty, and the consequent recall or our ships and troops, releases tho question from furt hor difficulties as it concerns tho officers. But how stands it with a President and Secretary who have done what Patrick Henry never conceived, (for his famous expression applied to the Federal Government itself, nnd not to its mere administrators,) when these two functionaries, by a secret contract with a foreign power, employ the purse and tho sword upon a peaceful neighbor, whom wo have treaties, of amity, commerce, navigation and limits ; aud that without tho knowledge of Congress then setting in their presence! Officers, since tho rejection ot tho Treaty, may get out of their position without tho guilt of piratical war; but what is tho guilt of men wl 0 sent them out to commit it who concealed their mogul orders from Congress gate contrsdicloiy reasons for them in the Senate, when detected and whose tolly might mako war even after their ahsurb reasons for it had ceased ; for how could these naval and military officers know that the treaty was re jected, and during all which time their orders wcro still in force to ho in wait for the Mexicans, and attack them going to Texas! What ia duo to the guilt of men who havo ordered such crimes as these, although the decision of tho Senate may prevent their perpetration ? 1 lie nenalor from South Carolina (Mr. McDufuel assimilates my bill to the treaty, and makes it out equally insulting to Mexico. Strnnge comparison this! Hyperion to a satyr! My bill is constitution al ; it refers the question or war to Congress. It is respectful to Mexico; for it requires her to be con sulted before, and not after tlio treaty. It assumes her consent to be necessary now, in the present state of the question betwoen her and Texas ; but suppo ses a tunc when it will bo necessary, and of which Congress is to judge. In all this, as in every other particular, it differs as ligltt differs from darkncss,and as reason differs from folly, from tho troaty oftho administration ; a treaty that makes war without the knowledge ol Congress and without a perliminnry effort to conciliate Mexico! And whenever Con gress comes to decide the question of war with Mexico, as a means of getting Texas a year or two sooner, then they will have a serious question nn r.nnd, and ono to be viewed under many aspects. The justice of such a war may claim a thought from ihe consciences of some; not having, as we certainly have not, any cause of war with Mexico. He poliuy may cairn cnnsidurntinn with others, who deem it impolitic for the republic of the United Slates to commence a war upon tho republic uf Mexico, with tho certainty of exasperating against us all the re- publics of South America. Its profit might arrest iho attention ot 01 tiers, who might seo in the loss ot the Mexican trado moro injury to individual and national wealth, than the difference of a few years, in tho scquisiton of Texas, could balance or repair. All this a Congress, representing Ihe people, might consider and count the cost of, before they engaged in a war with a neighbor with whom we havo trade, and treaties, and which is at the head of the cordon of Southern republics. Congress would consider these things; our administration did not "They rushed in Where engclt fear to tread.' Compared to their treaty, my bill is an angel I use tlio word in a Greek seme en affgrtoa) n good messenger a messenger of good tidings; for it is a messenger of peace: not a firebrand of war piratical war. It gives Mexico a chance to do what it is her interest and true policy to do ; for she ami Texas can never live in harmony together; and soon or Into separation is inevitable. And here I again remark upon the absurdity of saying, Mexico has no right to disagree to the annexation. That ab.tnrdity has been repented too often. Mexico is a sovereign State and decides lhal question herself! whether she has claims on Texas, and what price sho sets upon them; and that she has often declared war! and, not waiting for war from hor, our President and Secretary makes it upon hor, and ask tho Sonato to do tho same. Tho ratification of tho treaty would have been tho adoption nf tho war by tho Sonato, Tha Senator from South Carolina, who has done me tho honor to address his whole speech to me, takes exception to tlio word neophyte, applied by me to tlio now friends ol Texas. I am surprised at this exception, coming from him. That Senator is a scholar no mean one, (I use tho word in its literary sense) and in his oar, familiar with the language of scholars, the word can imply nothing offensive or derogatory. It is, indeed, a chute and classic phraso, known to the best writers, both sacred and profane. St. Paul uses it in his epistles, (tho Greek copies,) and after naming him, no higher authority is wanted lor wuat is gouiiemaniy and achoiastic, aa aa what ts pious and christian; but bring me a dictionary (speaking to a page in tho Senate) bring me Kicliardson's, letter and lei us ice what ho ys "Nkopiitte In French neophyte; in Italian ne- oftto; in Spanish neophyto; Latin nrophytua ; Greek nenphntus, from nros, new, and panon, a plant, a new plant; figuratively, a new convert ; one newly implnnted (r. c.) in the church; and consequently, newly converted lo Ihe Christian fail L ; one newly initiated, newly introduced or employed." This resumed Air. II.) is Kicliardson's definition and etymology ; and nothing can be more classic or innocent. Il is puro Greek, only modified in sound and termination, ingoing through six languages: and both literally and tie un lively, hns an innocent and decent signification. Richardson gives illustrations in the use of the word by eminent writers. let us follow him, and see the application of the term; and first he quotes from the great Lord Chancellor Bacon, characterized by Pope in a single hue, which I will not repeat; for it is only of the scholar and philosopher whom wo speak. In his essay on the Union of Lawn, ho says Vtsy, in euect ot grace, which exceed far tho ef fects of nature, wo see St Paul makes a diftercnco between those ho calls ntophyhu that is, newly grnfted into Christianity and ihoso that arc brought up in tho faith." J Ins is a scriptural, or sacred application of llie word, and very applicable; for the Senator is a graft in the Texas faith, and I was brought up in it. not it hns many olherapnlicalinna, and lien Johnson applies it historically, (11 professional application with hi in) and shows that tho stage, as well as the church, had its crops of these new plants. He says in Cynthia's Revels "It is with your young grammatical courtiers, al with your ncouhvte player, a thing usual to be daun ted at tho first presenco or interview." In poetry as well as in proic, the neophyto figures, am) thus wo find him again in Ben Johnson, in tho novels 01 uynlhia "There aiandt neophyto (t'tiintr, of hit fare : -aim lepeatt, with becoming accuracy. And then his jest! although confederate, they are innocent and good, and prove their worth by their age ; for they have lasted a long time, seen hard aervice and still survive. Even two thousand years ago the satiric poet celebrated the virtues of old jokes, and assigned tlietn a durability, under hard use, of more than inct&lic or lithotic powers: "Kven Hint and alee), r on tinned ute impairs, Put your old jokit no diminution ft-sri." But, tobe done with joking! The Senatoris certainly a new plant, an exotic, in the Texas garden ! and those friends of his, tho defence of whom has called him from a sick bed to do what he has nut done, defend them a task which would indeed require angels and ministers of grace ! These friends of his, they are also new plants and exotics, and strange plants in tho samo good garden ; and of lliem 1 must say, moreover, what I cannot and will not say of him they ore intrusive, noxious and poisonous weeds in that fair garden! 1 remember tho time when they flung the whole garden, as a worthless incumbrance, an ny. And they enter it now as the serpent did Eden, with deceit, in ilm timp ani) death in the heart. The Senator boa complimented mo unon a nnrt of my character in which I take great pride the didactic part a faint imitation of the elder Cato that of teaching my children; and I trust that the exercise of tho morning will not diminish his good opinion of tho teacher's tuct or tnsto in driving languages into boys heads. The schoolmaster has certainly boon about, and the day'a work is a specimen of his skill and power. That word, neophyto! tho senator now knows it in six languages, and the better in each for knowing it in all; nnd learnt in all while learning it in one, according to the method of Locke and Milton two hundred years ago. And here ends the first lesson. 1 never overtask my neophytes.The Senator who has laid me under the nrresiiv of making this reply, finds it disrespectful and often sivo that I should treat the President's messago to tho House of Representatives as an nppenl from tho iLnni3 louiai oouy. certainly 1 could not treat It. otherwise, without departing from the universal sense and understanding of the public, and repudiating inu muii 11 mg ui language. 1 urn mcssago is, in 11 trcry nature, and as near as possible, iu its very language, an appeal from the Senate to tho House of Representatives, and ii ao understood by every body. The Senator who speaks for the administration dot e not deny this universal understanding. On the con-trarv, he admits and justifies it. He admits ihe appeal by name, and justifies it hr name, and has in- troduced a joint resolution for the legislative action of tho two Houses, and for the ratification of tho " treaty by name. 1 he treaty ia dead by constitutional action of the Senate, and it is nn outrage to tho Senate, and a revolt against the Constitution to send it to me House ol Unprescntatives fur revival and ratification. I claim no veto power for the Senuto except where the constitution gives it, and this it has dono in making it tho supremo nrbiter oftho formnlion of treaties aa in tho case of nomination, mm 11 una appeal is tolerated, I seo no reason tor not sending all tho rejected noininatoina to tho House, for confirmation, or openly taking aotnn unconstitutional and fraudulent method of nullifvinir tho re jection of favorites, and retaining or smuggling ilium iiuu uuice, in spuo 01 trie vouiistiiulioa and of the Scnaie.

That folly is reserved lor our President and his Secretary; and, once more, I ask ! how long would our thousand banks, and . per money currency prcsorvo their existence when deprived of their aupply of Mexican dollars?
