DEFERRED ARTICLES. REMARKS (r. IlACKNETj of Cfmtham, in offering Jus A- mendment to the Re-Districting But. Mm. HackskY rose and said, I do not intend to Snflirt sneech iiDon the House, Mr. Speaker, at this sage of the debate, but merely to furnish the ' reasons which will iuttuence my action upon the passage of this Bill. It is well known by my polit ic il friend that I haTe not been entirely satisfied with the details of the Bill upon your table. As th constitutionality and expediency of some me sure of this kind, Sir, 1 never doubted, provided a just and equitable proportion of the representative power could be given to each of the political parties, according: to their numbers in North Carolina ; but Sir, I doubted whether this Bill in detail would ac complish thatobject "When the gentleman from Hert ford ichallenged the Democratic party to deny that the District represented by Mr. Biass in Congress was aDemocratic District, and the gentleman from i Ro'ian, in reply to that challenge, insisted that Air. Uiggr Uistnct was Whig, 1 was determmeu io iesi the matter in dispute, by offering the amendment I havj , just sent to your Clerk's Table. - The just taken mwathat amendment, has accomplished knnsp - si,. ,. sti, nutria had a verv small majority of Whigs mv amendment proposed to, make a change in that District of over six hun-lred votes in favor of the Democratic party, by throwing those votes into Mr. Bissrs' District, which had been ' alleged by our Democratic friends here to be a Whig District Now, Sir, the refusal of the Democratic party in this House to accept my amendment, proves incontestiblv, that they believe they have the con trol; of that District ; and if this be true, then it pives them a just proportion of representation in "the "Congress of the United States. I offered this a i.iendment to do them the justice they were demand ing of us, and if they refuse to accept it, it is their cwnj fault; I have discharged my duty to them and to the country, and shall now vote for the Bill as re-l-orfed. j , From our AVjt Tori Correspondent. "I he Message of the President, the Postmaster General's Report, and that of the Secretary of the Treasuryj Com. Stccktou's extraordinary proclama tion, annexing the Mexican province of California to tjbe United Srates, and complacently declaring himself Governor thereof, the meeting of Congress and its proceedings, have all formed the main staple of jown-talk during the week. Of the Message, I hear very few favorj.blo opinions expressed ; and, (indeed, the document is remarkable only for the filse professions and wrong statements of the Executive, in regard to our difficulties with Mexico. Instance th followingjwhich he unhesitatingly utters, at the Tery outset of his homily": t: Suuenly attached to the policy of peace, early adopted anil steadily purs-sed by this Gocernttient, I hare anxiously desired to culti- vote end cherish friendship and commerce tcith every foreign Porter." Now what hypocrisy is evident ' here ! The Oregon bluster the mad fanfaronade respecting 54 40 the insane prattle indulged in by "the, administration demagogues in Congnas about A" preparing the hearts of tjie people for war' the demoniac cry raised by the same school of -profligates, of ''No compromise but at the cannons mouth.' and which, day after day. vras howled in the Iloue of Representatives, and just as eagerly echoed ia the Senate, are all-to say nothing of the duplicity practiced by the President and his party in the man agement ol our Mexican difficulties just so many plain refutations of an assertion so plausible as that. And what pains does Mr. Polk take to assure he cannot convince the nation that the responsibility of! the war rests, not with him, but with the Mexican Government which, he very gravely tells us, alone is'to blame for the sanguinary issue of Texas annex ation that same Annexation he told the country a yfear ago which was to be a "bloodless achievement' Then again, ho indecently laconic is the manner in which ha disposes of a subject always by his pre 'precesssors dwelt upon at length with a becoming dignity and moral tone demanding at least a grate- ' fnl recapitulation of the innumerable blessings a kind alid beiJeSccnt Providence has bestowed upon ar-ir country thus: "Our devout and sincere ac- . knowledgemcnts aredue to the gracious Giver of all good, for ihc numberless blessings which our belov- . qd country enjoys." .But, I refrain from dissecting the enormities of a document abounding in false Io end. We have become sufflcientlv f.milil u oli and Polkism, to know tht '-no good thing can come out of JXazareth7 (r7 The ;SL Andrew Society of the City of New STork? held their annuid Dinner, the othpr rvrn. ng, at the City Hall, on which occasion, as usual. Were present many of the mogt distinguished citizens W the Country. They had a jolly time of it, in the ray of speech-making, giving toasts, perpetrating pit, and occasionally indulging in sentiment, to say pothing about the havoc made in the many good dishes provided for the company.
