SOUTH CAROLINA AND TEXAS. ! The following article, which appeared in the Globe of Saturday night, having attracted a good deal of attention we have been induced to transfer it to our columns in order to inform our readers at a distance of the points at issue between the leaders of the
right and left divisions of the "Democratic"
party : Zfat. Int. '
" From the Globe of Jane 15. : " SOUTH CaROMX-V's MODE OF AXJiEXING Texas. The Richmond Enquirer copies from the Charleston Mercury portions of the
proceedings of public meetings held in Bamwell, Sumter, and Edgefield' counties, touching the Texas treaty. The Enquirer with much pleasure marks the favor with which all these meetings receive the nominations of the late Baltimore Convention, but it silently puts the seal of reprobation on certain passages in the transactions of these assemblies of nullifiers,by omitting such resolutions and remarks as squint at a dissolution of the Union. For instance, the Barnwell meeting has this passage in the preamble, the whole of which is properly suppressed by the Enquirer, as an evidence of its disapprobation. The preamble puts the dissolution of the Union in issue with the. Texas question, and says: 'We believe that the very existence itjelf of this blood-bought and blood-cemented Union will be determined
by it." The'fiflh resolution takes the ground,
in regard to the annexation or 1 exas, tnat
"its final rejection is an evidence of that in
creasing hostility to tue institutions ot tne South which has already shaken the confi--dence of our people in the patriotism and
fidelity of our Northern brethren, and which
.may render it necessary for us (in the
words of our own Declaration of Indepen
dence) 'to provide new guards for our future
security.-77
The ninth resolution attempts to identify
the name of General Jackson with the new
design ofrevoliitioD,"lo pfovide hew grounds for our future security'' beyond the Consti;
lution. Itreaasthu3:
"9. Resolved, Tint in relation to the immediate annexation of Texas, we view with
pride and satisfaction the conduct of the
venerable Andrew Jackson, whose heart (though the hand of time and affliction has
fallen heavily upon him) beats true to the
interest and honor of his country; and we re
joice that his days have been so lengthened
out tnat he milit unite ins name witu our
third great struggle for independence."
Col. S. W. Teotti, who was at the head of the committee to prepare the preamble
and resolutions, after they were read, ex
plained them in a speech, the substance oi which: is thus given, with the proceedings but - i l is omitted by the Enquirer, ts well as the
iiiulli resolution; "V
- "After the preamble and resolutions were " Tesd Ccl.Frotti rose and addressed the meeting in their support for more than an hour with great eloquence and ability, and was interrupted in the course of his remarks by frequent and long-continued plaudits. He dwelt with great force and earnestness upon the importance of the immediate acquisition of Texas as a measure of national defence, and exposed the deceitful position of Lord Aberdeen and the British Government on the subject. He conclusively, demonstrated that
the safety if not the very existence of the in
stitution of slavery is dependant upon the - success of the measure, and contended with
greit power and ability that THE ONLi
TRUE ISSUE BEFORE THE SOUTH
SHOULD BE TEXAS OR DISUNION."
.. The Sumpter meeting is one of the game cast : and the resolutions are fraught with the
same threats against the Union.
The 5th resolution, which is stricken out by the Richmond Enquirer, is given in the
Charleston Mercury; . "5. Resolved, That we regard the oppos
ition to annexation by a portion of the peo
ple of these United States . on account o the existance of slavery in Texas, as armn
warrantable attack npon bout hern rights
guarantied to us by the Constitution, rights which we are determined at all hazards to
maintain in spile of resistance either abroad
, cr at home."
Here it would seem lhat "opposition to
annexation by a portion of the people of
these United States" is held to be "an unwarrantable attack u pon Southern rights !' The sentiments of the Edgefield county meeting (at wkich the Hon. Mr. Pickens officiated as a resolution .. mmittec man) were in perfect keeping with those'spoken by MrIt. Barnwell Rhetl's constituents of Barn- . well. ' The disposition to dissolve the Union
was somewhat better disguised, although plainly hinted at in the following resolution: "Resolved, That the grounds upon which this annexation is mainly resisted compel us to consider this measure as a question as to the maintenance of slavery, guarantied to us by the Constitution; and we avow our determination to maintain this institution against all the attempts of abolitionists in our own country or elsewhere; and we shall not resist the separation from the Union of such States as denounce the slaveholding members of the Confederacy as unworthy of connexion with them, and as avow the purpose of cot tolerating the admission into the Union of any new slaveholding country," This resolution is also omitted from the proceedings, as published in the Richmond ' Enquirer . from ' the Charleston Mercury, which contains it. The omission shows the
sense entertained by Mr; Ritchie of its dancerou3 irrport. The gratuitous statement
preface? the invitation to a dissolution of
the Union, is utterly unfounded; not a member of the Senate, nor as we have seen, a
leading press of either the federal or demo
cratic prty, has given any pretence for the assertion tnat "this annexation is mainly resisted as a question as to the maintenance of slavery;" nor does any Slate denounce the elaveholding members of tlio copfedercy a3 unworthy of association with tlieui."
The issue of annexation, as necessary "to
the maintenance of slavery," was made by Mr. Calhoun himself in his Pakenham letter, evidently for the purpose of furnishing
his partizans iu the- South the means of rallying a party, and getting up a "sectional
feeling between the- South and North, to an-
swer the very purpose to which it is now ap- gpeech eQtire wbid P These several public "meetings m South week without any inji
Carolina look to a Convention, called together from the States favorable to annexation,
to give effect to the resolutions passed by
them. The Edgefield meeting broaches
this scheme thus: ' -
"Resolved, That the members of Con
gress favorable to annexation be requested
to resort to all legitimate expedients within their power for the consummation of this
they take steps for assembling a convention of the States friendly to annexation." -
ibe Barnwell resolution is more precise,
and fixes the place, with a view to identify
the democratic nominee for the Presidency
and General Jackson with their incendiary
movements,' under the disguise of 1 exas annexation. It is as follows:
"8. Resolved, That if Texas be not soon
er annexed, we deem it expedient that a con
vention of the friends of immediate annexa
tion throughout the Union he held at Nash
ville, in the State of Tennessee, on the first
Monday in August next, and that, should
such suggestion meet the approbation of our friends elsewhere, we will meet again at this
place on the first Monday in July to appoint
delegates to said convention."
The organ of this nullifying party, (the
South Carolinian,) published at the seat of
Government, (Columbia,) is still more spe
cine in laying down the chart ol this new dis
solution movement. Afier a series of remarks
on the probable chance of the Texas treaty
MR. CLAYTON'S SPEECH. Contrary to our first intention we treat our
readers this week with an extract from Mr. Claytons great Speech delivered on the 15th
ult. at Wilmington Delaware. We do so because the extract can be left out of the
ch we shall give next
injury to it as a whole.
As well remarked by the Cincinnati
Chronicle, "Mr. Clayton is one of the great
nillars of the Whig party. He is a man of
I - a eloquence, of knowledge, of talent; possess ing all of these qualifications iu a degree exeeded only by a few men of his party in the United States. He is a man destined to per
form an honorable, an important; and an useful part in the whig administration of the
country. His relation of his experience with
Mr. Dallas is humorous and sad sad, be
cause it shows how pliant is the conscience of a man now a candidate for the second of
fice in the Government. .
"There was another citizen on the same
ticket with Mr. rolk who merited a passing
notice at this time; he referred to George
Dallas, the condidate for the Vice Presiden
cy on the modern Democratic ticket. It has
been said that Mr. Dallas is a Democrat, according to modern acceptation of that term
Now that might be so, but he (Mr. C.) would
like to know what the definition of "Democrat" is for when he and the gentleman
served in tho Senate together they were virtually of the same party. George M. Dal
las sat in 1842 with him (Mr. C.) m the benate, and like all other good Whigs, the gen
tleman was in favor of a Bunk ot the Ignited States (Cheers and laughter.) Why George
was the Father of the Bank Bill! . (Roars of
before the Senate, it proposes, in the event of laughter, with some expression of astonish
its failure, the following:
"1. To call upon our delegations in Con
gress, if in session, or our Senators, if they
be at the seat of Government, to wait on the Texian Minister, and remostrafe with him a-
ment.) Yes, (continued Mr. C.)George came to us from Philadelphia with a great memo
rial in his pocket and told us he was goin
to introduce it to the Senate, and that he was going for the re-charter of the Bank. He
delivered a noble speech to the meeting, characterised by great felicity ot expres'siou, an exceeding happy manner,fiequent humo
rous illustrations and occasional pissages of
leart stirring eloquence. The speaker was
especially happy iu the comparison which he
drew betweeu James K. Polk, and -Henry
Clay, both of whom he said, he had known
ong and intimately. Referring to Mr. Polk's
nomination he remarked that it probably
surprised every man in the Uuited States,
but no one so much soas Mr. Polk himself. Contrasting 'the public services of the two candidates, Mr. Thompson said that if a, man should undei take' to write a most prolix -his-ofthe country for the last20or'3U years he
would find it impossible to squeeza in Mr. Polks name anywhere; while, on the other
land, the most succint record of public
events would necessarily contain the name
of Henry Clay on every page and in almost
every paragraph. .
Of Mr. Clay Iimself, Geo. Thompson
spoke wit great warmth and eloquence. He
had known him, he said, long and well. 1 He
hadjbeen associated with him injpubliclife &,
had Seen a great deal of him in the socin
circle in the seclusion of home. But well
and intimately as he had known him he had
never heard Mr. Clay speak of partv or of TM 1 ' I t
self. v neu discussing, wnetner in public
or private, questions ot national policy or
measures for legislative consideration and
action, Mr. Clay's sole though seemed to be
what will best advance die honor, welfare and prosperity of the country. In the course
of his remarks, Gen.T. said that tho1 differ
ing with the mass of the Whig party on the
larifi question, and entertaining sentimeuts
of personal respect for the President, yet in
the pending contest he was throughout for
Mr. Clay, and in concluding his address Gen.
Thompson made an earnest appeal to the
Whigs everywhere to rally once more for the
right and make another decisive charge
upon the the enemy. The appeil was re
sponded to by the audience in'a way that
evinced their disposition and determination
to do their whole duty m November.

gainst any negotiation with other Powers took the lead, we only followed in his wake
until tne ooutbera btates snail nave had a
reasonable time to decide upon their course. "2. That object secured, a convention of the people of each State should be promptly

said, should be called.to meet at some central speak, and he always spoke when he had
position, to take into consideration the ques
tion of annexing Texas to the Union, il the
Union will accept it; or, if the Union will not
accept if, then of annexing lexas to the
Southern States,
, "4. That the President of the U. States be
requested by the general convention of the
slave States to call Congress together lm
mediately ; when the final issue shall be made
up, and the alternative distinctly presented
to the free btates, either to admit lexas into
the Union, or to proceed peaceably and calm
ly to arrange the terms of a dissolution of the
Union."
Now, we ask, can this Convention be pro
posed, and such inflamatory subjects chosen
for its discussion, with a. view to the annexa-
tion ot Texas, or to the election of Governor
Polk to the Presid eucy? The South, is uni
ted in favor of annexation, every body knows;
and. we believe that, as a friend to tho mea's-
ure, and a Southern man, Govern Polk" will
get the Southern vote. Do Mr. Calhoun
and his friends imagine that, by xcitng sectional feeling in the North, and prdvoking
hostility by fostering designs against the Uu
ion, they will be most likely to attain the
ends they profess to have at heart tlmt is
to unite the Northern democracy in support
of annexation and the election of Gov. Polk
to the Presidency ? .
We can readily comprehend how Mr. Cal
houn might serve his purpose of consolidating
Southern influence on himself, by making that section believe that the Nothern sought to oppress it, aud wrshes to exclude a fair territory from the Union, lest it might give
strength to the weaker portion of the Confed
eracy. vve can readily understand how it
would assist the grand nullification scheme
(if again revived) to rouse prejudice in the
anything to say and he sometimes had

Whenever an attack was made against
the Bank there stood George M. Dallas ever
ready to defend it. To use a very rough
and homely phrase common in the West 4ie
''locked horns" with Thomas II. Benton.
(Continued laughter.) As I have already
said, George not only voted for it on all oc
casions, but he also, when the President sent
it back with his Veto, voted against the V eto

George declared that he 'dare not do it!
Well, General Jackson did do so, and the
next t king we know is that George had come
out a traSrough-going Democrat, "dyed in the
wool," and opposed to a Bank. (Great laughter.) ... - -
Hell I must give you a little more about
Gecrge. He's a clever fellow, and I like
to talk about him. Modern Democrats say
that Mr. Clay's bill to distribute the proceeds
of the Public Lands would corrupt the peo
ple. Wow, 1 remember lhat Jack Cade complained to Lord Say that he had corrupted the people by establishing a Grammar
School! . - f
Well, if there were any corruption about
it, Mr. Dallas voted for it in every stage of its passage ! and I did not know a warmer and
more sincere advocate of it than that gentleman.

we who were the friends of the Land Bill,
