POLIfTICALv : RELATOR BQWTON'S SPEECH U.N ; , : (SLAVE RV." , . ' - . We have received the whole of Col. Benton highlj interesting; speech to the people j sourr'delivered at Jefferson city, Mm on theSSin ultima There are about a dozen column of it; bjtfwa limited to the following synopsis and extract : Theapeech was drawn out by the resolutions recently passed by the General Assembly of Mis ouri, denying the right of Congress to leg'sjf8 upon the subject of slavery in the territories. The resolutions were designed to instruct Mr. Benton mA hi AnUeatrum. For himself. Mr. Benton de clines to comply with them, and appeals to the -people the whole people. Col. Benton starts out by giving the substance of the Missouri resolutions, which he says are a mere copy of Mr. Calhoun's resolutions offered in the Senate, in February, 1847; tbat he sees no difference between the two, but in the time con templated for the dissolution of the Union Mr. : Calhoun tending ''directly," and those of Mis souri uUimalely." to tbat point. -. Having established, to his own satisfaction, the - identity or me two sets ot resolutions, ana qeciar ed those of the South Carolina Senator to be the parent or mase or me juissoun Assemoiv, air. Benton gives his attention first to the former, and from the conduct of the originator himself. He MIn the year 1820, Mr. Calhoun was a mem ber of Mr. Monroe's Cabinet, and as such was rpnuirerf hvthft PrAsMonK in rninmnn with the rest of the Cabinet, to give his opinion in writing, to be filed in the department jof State, on the question of the power of Congress to prohibit elavery in Territories, and on the constitutional ity of the 8th section of the act for the admission of Missouri into the Union, and which section ap plied the anti-slavery clause of the ordinance of 1787, to more than half of the whole territory of Louisiana The questions were momentous. The whole Union was then convulsed on the sub- lect or siaverv. erowinff out ot tne Missouri con- troversy. Uonsrress had lust nassed an act lor admission of Missouri without restriction, but .-""J V J of her. The act was just coming to e for his approval or disapproval.

"Sec 8. That in allthat territory ceded by France to the United States, under; the name of Louisiana, which lies north of 38 degrees 30 minutes north latitude, not included within the limits of the State contemplated by, this act, slavery and involuntary servitude, otherwise than in the- punishment of -the crimes whereof the parties shall hate been duly convicted shall le, and hereby isi forever prohibited." -iv'--.;c' , - Such, says Mr.vBenton, are the words of the act the very words of the WUtnoti Proviso; and if any modern copyist is to supercede Mr. Jef ferson in the paternity of that proviso, it should be John C. Calhoun, and not Davy Wilraot ! It should be called the Calhoun) Proviso! and that for many and cogent reasons. In the first place, he was near thirty ears ahead of Davy in the support of this Proviso. In the second place, his position was, higher, being a cabinet minister, and his voice, more potential, being a southern man. In the third place, he was part of the veto power, where three votes were a ma jority Davy, only a member of the' legislative power, where it requires a majority of both houses to do anything. In the fourth place, Calhoun traa aucceafiful Daw is not. Finally. Daw's proviso is a weak contrivance to prevent slavery oout noinmg. from being where i: is not, and where it never Mr. B. excuses thQ great body of the lgisia will be : Calhoun's proviso was a manly blow to tore for these resolutions sgainst him, conflicting i 1 Jh S s a n?ht ie Constitution to make a regula us slaverv in a Territnrv V yiig slavery in a l erritory S&lh 8eCtion of the act which nafispdhnth f4n the 3d instant, for the admission of yJtx into the Union, consistent with tbeXon ytfonl t jiu iiicetc QuesLiuns was an original nrait nr - ' B letter m Mr. Monroe s band writing, not dated. signed or addressed W J WM W W U 0 oe written to tren. Jackson, which letter shows thatthese two questions were put to Mr. Monroe's Cabinet were answered by tbem in writing, and that they were unanimous in answering the ques tions in. the affirmative." Mr. Calhoun, when his Nullification Resolu tions in the Senate were thus confronted by his Cabinet Opinion, having (as Mr. Benton says) evaded and plead " want of recollection," Mr. B. adds to the testimony of President Monroe's auto graph, evidence afforded by extracts from the Diary of John Q,. Adams," bearing date March 3d, 5th and 6th, 1820. From the full survpv nf iK!o nrt ntu;, Mr. Beoton comes fully to the conclusion, that the Southern Senator, when a member of Mr. Mon roe's Cabinet, did belie re tbat Congress had full power to preventor abolish Slavery in the United States Territories.and that he remained of this faith, till he fixed , his eyes upon the Executive Chair, and began to lay the foundation for. steps -by which he might ascend to this eminence.; . nen came nis loster-tathersnip of "the-peculiar institution," his Nullification hobbies, his - fire, brand" Resolutions on the subj'ect of Slavery in Territories,.

The proviso support ed by Mr. Calhoun abolished elavery where it ex isted by law in all the upper half of Louisiana .from 36 degrees 30 minutes to 49, and from the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains over terri tory nearly a thousand miles square nearly a million of square miles enough o make twenty States of 50,000 square miles each more, in fact, than all California, New Mjexico," and Or egon put together. Over all this vast territory, the proviso, supported by Calhoun, abolished slave ry abolished it, then existing by law and shut it up from the slave emigration of the South. ' And now what becomes of the dogma in his mouth, and that of his followers, so recently in vented, of no power in Congress to legislate upon the subject of slavery in territories! What be comes, in their mouths; of the new fangled point of honor, just felt for the first time in thirty years, of insult to slave States in their exclusion from settlement ir. the territories bought by the blood and treasure of the whole Union 1" He then reviews the conduct of Mr. Calhoun with great severity in relation i to the Florida treaty, the Indian policy, the annexation of Tex ap, his hosti!i:y to General Jackson, and talks about nullification and disunion doctrines. Mr. B. undertakes to show also that Mr. Cal houn not only supported the abolition of slavery in territories, but also in a State, the State of Texas. He says: j "In the session of 1844-45, two resolutions were adopted for the admission of the State of Texas : one, single and absolute with the Mis souri compromise in it: the other authorizing negotiations with Texas for her admission on an equal footing with the original States. The Sen ator from South Carolina was then Secretary of State, and virtual President of the United States;, and in that capacity, he seized upon the absolute resolution, selected it, and applied it to the State of Texas, and thus run the Missouri compromise line through that State, thereby abolishing slavery in a State in a part of a Stale making one part boon slavery ' in territories, kills that pretensio No legal establishment of slavery in California and New Mexico is then to be looked ior. '.That is certain. - Equally certain it will never be es tablished in either of them in point of fact. The people of both territories the old inhabitants are unanimously against it. j ; Of the new emigrants, all those from Europe, Aia, Mexico," Central and South America, and all those from the non-slavehofdipjApJrt of the United States, will be unanimously against it. There remains, then, to overbalance all this Unanimous mass, only the emigrants from the slaveholding parts of the United States--in itself the smallest branch of the emigration, and it di vided on the questron-wnany going for the ex press purpose of getting rid of slavery-and very few so far in love with it as to go that distance for the pleasure of having lajaw-suii. with - his own negro, and with the certainty of coming out second best in the contest i There is, then, no slavery at this time, either in NewMexico or California, in law or in fact? and wilk never be either, in law or in fact. What, then, Vis all the present uproar about! Abstraction! the abstract right of doing what cannot be done. I the insult to the sovereignly of the States, where there is no insult ! all abstraction! and no reality, substance or practice in it. , J v . L .. The Romans had a class of disputes which they called de lana caproina that is to say, about goat's wool ; and, as the goat had no wool, 'the dispute was about nothing. So it is of this dis pute among us about excluding slavery from New Mexico and California. There-is none there to exclude, and the dispute now raging is one part slave .Before the act of the same State free soil, and soil, and so it stands at this day ! ot Dir. uainoun, the whole olate of Texas was slave soil made so by the laws and constitution of Texas " After 6orae particular notice of. the Missouri resolutions, Col. B. comes to the! main point, in which he declares it is absurd lo deny to Con gress the power to legislate as j it pleases upon the subject of slavery in the territories that it is absurd to claim it for the territories. They have no form of government but that which Con gress gives them, and ; no legislative power but that which Congress allows them. Congress governs the territory as it pleases, and in a way compatible with the Constitution, and of this any State that has been a territory is a complete example, and Missouri as much so as any. Congress has the power to prohibit or admit slavery, and no one else. It is not in the terri tories ; for their governments are the creatures of Congress, and its deputies, so far as any legis lative power is coacerned. It is not in the States separately. j He then proceeds to remark on what he calls the gross delusion which has grown out of the political metaphysics of Mr. Calhoun, that citi zens of a slave State have the right to remove with their slave property into New Mexico and California. There is nothing neW in this part of f! Ronton.. - I. . I jjcuiuii a argmiicui. n js Bimpiy niai prop erty is in the law that creates it, and that the law cannot be carried an inch beyond the State that enacts it, and that if a different rule prevailed, there would be a confusion of laws in the new territories. No Judge could execute them. u No !" says Col. B. j The citizens of the States cannot carry the laws of their States with them to Oregon and California; and if they could, what a Babel of slave law would be there ! Fourteen States, each carrying a code different, in nany respects, from each other ; and all to be exercised by the same judges in territories where there ie no slave law. What absurdity! No such thing can be done. The only effect of carrying slaves there would be to set them free. It would be in vain to invoke the Constitution, and say it acknow ledges property- in slaves. It does so : but that is confined to States." ; I The next is what he calls a practical point, and that is that Congress has the constitutional power to abolish slavery in the territories; but she has no slave territory, in which to exercise the power. We 'have no territory, -he says, but the remainder of JLouisiana north and west of Missouri that, in California, New Mexico and Oregon and that north of Wisconsin, now Mine sota. In Louisiana, north and west of us, it was abolished by Congress in 1820.;. In the territory north of Wisconsin, now Minesota, it was abol ished by the Jefferson proviso of 1787. In Or. egon it was abolished by -Congress jn 1848, by what you may call the Benton proviso, if you please. In New Mexico and California, it was abolished by the- Mexican government in 1829, confirmed in 1837, and again in 1844. After giving copies of the decree of the Mexi can government of 1829 and the law of 1337, he adds: -. . . . : "This is the decree, and this is the act of Congress confirming it, abolishing slavery throughout the Mexican republic. The consti tution of 1844 does not abolish slavery, for that was done before,' but prohibits its future estab lishment. Thus, there t is no slavery now in Mexico and California; and consequently none in auy territory belonging to the; United States ; and, consequently, nothing practical or real in S y avery question, for the people of the United States to quarrel about: There is no slave ry now by law in any territory ; and it cannot get thre by raw, exceot bv act nf Hnn . j mo such act will be nassed. or vn ia ' The dngma cf no power in Congress to legislate I with instructions already read and obeyed on the ground tbat not half a dozen were in the se cret of their orienn design charges that the resolutions did not emaliate from any known de- sire nr understood will of toe public says it is a Question above nartv. and l be means to keep it there defies the few 4i conspirators," as he calls them, saying : 44 Between them and me, hence, forth and forever, a high wall and a deep ditch ! and no communion, no compromise, no caucus wilh them.,, ' In regard to his "opinions,'- which have been wanted, he refers to his votes ot du years inu says: u But you want public declarations of personal sentiments: very good, you shall have them. My personal sentiments then, are against the institution of slavery, and against its introduction into places in which it does hot exist. If there was no slavery in Missouri to day, I should op pose its coming in : if there was none-. in the United States. I should oppose its convinjr into the Ucited States. As there is none in New Mexico or California, I am against sending it to those territories, and could not vole for such a measure a declaration which costs me but little, the whole dispute now being about the abstract right of carrying slaves there, without the exer ctse of the right. "To finish this personal exposition, I have to say that my profession and conduct no unusual thing with frail humanity Jo not agree. 4 was born to the inheritance of slaves and have never been without them. I have bought some, but only on their own entreaty, and to save them from execution sales; I have sold some, but only for misconduct. I have had two taken from me by the abolitionists, and never inquired after them ; and liberated a third who would not go with them. I have slaves now in Kentucky, who are elevated lo the dignity of real estate, by be ing removed from Missouri to Kentucky ; and will have to descend next fall to the low degree of a chattel interest, in spite of the laws of Ken. lucky, when I shall remove them back. to Mis souri. And I have Slaves in WashingttXi City perhaps the only member of Congress that has any there and I am not the least afraid that Congress will pass any law to affect this proper ty, either there, or here." Mr, B. then declares that he has never made slave speeches in Congress, because it was a pri vate wrong to alarm individuals with ideas of in security of iheir properly though he had never seen any danger to slave property by the action of Congress. He concludes this part of his speech, however, with an eloquent peroration as to the fulfilment of a great republican example which we owe to struggling liberty in ancient empires of the world. THE SOUTH IN DANGER ! Three recent events are of very grave signif. icance, and ought forthwith to awaken tfle South ern people to the danger which threatens them. 1. The open and avowed coalition between the Norihern Democracy and the Abolitionists, on the Platform of Free Soil. V" 2. As part and parcel of this coalition, the ac cession of a Northern man to the Editorship of the Democratic organ at Washington, coupled with the declarat ion that that paper will in future pur sue the non-intervention" policy on this ques tion. 3. The open advocacy of free Soilwrn bv Col. Benton a Senator from a slaveholding State and the most prominent and influential member of the Democratic party, and the probable candi date of that party for the Presidency at the next election. These three events, we repeat, are of very se rious import. They are the acts of people, who have hitherto professed to be ihe exclusive and peculiar champions of Southern rights. Who has not heard of the intense devotion" of the Nor thern Democracy " ihe natural allies" to the in stitutions of the South! Who has not heard the Washington Union's denunciations against Free Soil! which is now the corner-stoneof Democ racy. And Benton for 25 years has been the Ajax Telamon of the Democracy. It is in this aspect that this movement is most important . Benton is aspiring to the Presidency. xjg auaiiuuua auu ueuuunces nis own section I.. I l: I r . -1 . ... ana inrowa oimseuaime nead ot the great abo lition movement, ne is cordiaJIv receivpri ?n the meanwhile, the Southern Democracy, who iur years nave uupea me soutnern people with the notion that the Northern Democracy were their best friends, are professing to disapprove their uc7 cuiiuucH ui oruer mat they may succeed in the approaching elections to Conoress. Let these elections jpass by, and then we shall see Whethpr thoso Nnnlkam - --. umh.ui isBuigcrats are tor or against Benton., Of the fourteen Democrats e- iccieu i irom una ptate, we do not believe there is one who will not be found zealously sustaining the election of Benton to the Presidencv ren. egade and abolitionist though hebe-if he be the uu.,u uiiBB national Uoaveoiiori. The rights of the South the very existence of Southern in stitutions are nothing with these gentlemen, in comparison with the ascendancy of Party. We had striking proof of this in the case of Cass. 'The Democratic Convention in this State had taken the very strongest ground against air men. ? who were m favor of the Wilmot Proviso,arid i they declared, thit. under no circumstancts, whatever, would they support any man who recognized the power of Congress, or of its creatnra . rial Legislature, to legislate on the subiect of " J isnnories.

But that was unavoidable f : Calhoun's inconsistencies were so glaring his ntradictions so monstrous, his abandonment of the South so fiequent and so injurious, that it aid not require as strong an arm as Benton's (o pros trate him. ; But that does not prostrate the rights, the constitutional and natural rights ortbe Souih. We do not recognise Mr. Calhoun as our cham pion, and are. not, therefore, bound to abide the usiie of the combat. The fiht is a personal one between these two Demacratic aspirants for the favor and support of their party. -That Col. Ben ton has displayed consummate skill as a tactician in singling but Mr. Calhoun as his adversary, is true beyond question. - He could not have selec ted a man more unpopular, or whose whole course was more obnoxious to severe and just'animad version. And he has executed his bellicose de monstration withr singular energy and adroitness. His lost Calkouniac" is a poeer; it rouis lus adversary beyond the possibility of a rally. This controversy between these two great De mocratic rivals isonly important to us of the South as foreshadowing the danger which menaces us. We have no interest in the result as between them. We staked nothing opon Calhoun, and therefore, if he is unhorsed by Benton, we lose nothing. But it is of the very highest moment to the whole people of the South, to know, in time, the overwhelming ascendancy which" Benton has obtained in the Democratic party, antf the strong probability, the almost absolute certainty, that he will be the candidate of that party for the next Presidency. v A . In'this view of the matter, every accession to the Democratic strength in Congress from the South, is, to that extent, an accession to the strength of the enemies of the South, for the whole will enure to the benefit of Benton. Let the people of North Carolina re-elect to Con gress Mr. Venable, Mr. Daniel, and politicians of that stripe, and though for a lime they may affect opposition lo Benton, yet when the nom ination is made, all their abiluies and influence will be exerted to sectfre his election. The same will be true in respect to the Democrats of Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. Every Democratic Congressman from those States will, from the force of circumstances and party ties, be an aider and abettor of our worst enemy, and a foo to the only man, who, by his position, can render us invaluable assistance.

The Washington Union has the following esti mate of the political complexion of the next House Elected, , To be elected Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Ohio, Maryland, North Carolina Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi. Tennessee, Kentucky, Indians, The National Era, the abolitionist paper in Wash ington, makes a similar estimate, and claims for the abolitionists the balance of power in the House. The Richmond Whig justly remarks: "This makes good what we have heretofore snid, tbat every Democrat elected from the South, is substantially a vote given to the abolitionists. The Democrats, without the aid of the abolitionists, cannot possibly, by the concession of its Metropolitan organ, have a majority. Every diminution of the Whig vote, then, b a gain to abolitionists. Let Maryland elect 6 Whigs, North Carlina 9, Alabama 7, Louisiana 4, Texas 2, Mississippi 4, Tennessee 11, Kentucky 10 and then there will be no possibility of Free Soil ism, wjth its canting hypocriyy, controlling the des tinies of the country. But if the Democrats in these States divide the representation if North Caroli na, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee are recre- I ant, on their heads rests the responsibility of giving V t - v I . ? .t 1.-1 -m . , r 10 vae aooiiuomsis me uaiuoceoi power in congress, and subjecting all the legislation of the land to their tender mercies." We trust that the States which are yet to vote, and in one of which, North Carolina, there are some divisions, will learn a lesson by the result of the fend in this District, which has resulted, according to the above monitory paragraph, in a gain to the abolitionists, and jeoparded the Whig strength in the House of Representatives. It would be indeed a sad reflection for Southern Whigs to entertain, that "on their bead rests the responsibility of giv ing to the abolitionists the balance of power in Con gress, and subjecting all the legislation of the land to their tender mercies." Let our brethren of the South bear in mind that our defeat in Virginia has rendered it necessary for them to fight a battle fully equal in importance to the Presidential election. We have succeeded in electing a President, against many obstacles in our own ranks, as well as those of the enemy, and we had a House of Representatives, which it is our fault if we have not kept Let our friends who have yet to vote, take warning by the past, and sacrifice all personal prejudices at the shrine of patriotism. Let u Principles, not Men," be the rule of action. Let there be no idle talk of Clay Whig, or TaylorWhig. Who is Clay, or who is Taylor, but a representa tive of that great cause which we believe to be the cause of the country, and the success of which is the common object of Whigs of every name 1 We rejoice to see that the Whig press of the States yet to vote, is exerting its powerful influence in behalf of the purposes of peace and harmony. It reserves its batteries for its political enemies, and pours oil upon the agitated waters of Whig discord. That is the wise, sensible, honest course. . To the rescue, gallant Whigs of the South ; and, remember ing the solemn truth " that every Democrat elected from the South is substantially a vote given to the abolitionists," strike home and strike hard for your faith and for jour firesides.
