THE DBMOCHATlCf PARTY" AND
v; THB PROVISO. -r
We commented last week upon the suppressed
paragraph of the Southern Address, which charges
that the Wilmot ProViso was introduced into the
Oregon Bill, for the purpose of establishing the
principle. lLt Benton testifies to the truth of this
charge, and states further that the approbation of
that measure by President Polk ; was sanctioned
by his entire; Cabinet It would seem that the
leaders of the Southern Democracy, who are not
of the Calhoun stamp are generally acquiescing
in the constitutionality of the Proviso ; . and in this
respect they are ahead of Gen. Cass himself, who
holds ob to the principles of the Nicholson letter.
The Hon: Andrew Ewing, recently elected to
Congress from the Nashville district,; in Tennes
see, makes the following graceful surrender of his
constitutional scruples. :
j u month, ft
That if the qaestion of the const itatijnality of the
Wilmot Proviso was res hitegra and nob to bo deci
ded merely ytn the words of the constitution, I should
be clearty of opinion that there was no grant of such
power in that instrument; but as extemporaneous and
long continued construction of a constitutional pro
vision always exercises great weight in the final de
cision of the matter, and uttht history of our govern
ment would show the recognition of this principle in
all its various departments, and during entry period
of its existence ; it was too late in the day for South
ern statesmen to place much reliance in a contest to
be waged mainly on the ground of its unconstitu
tionality, and more especially after the recent message
of Mr. Polk on bis approval of the Oregon Bill, and
the argumeat of Mr. Bell, at Murfreesborough. 1
state! farther, that the strong ground on which we
ought to place our opposition to the passage of the
Wilmot Proriso, was its violation of the sjnrit of the
Missouri Compromise, and its general injustice to
the Southern States. It will be seen therefore, that
no far from my admission of the constitutionality of
the Wilmot Proviso, my argument assumed the con
trary, and merely admitted that the unanimity of
precedent and authority on one side had impaired
the weight Of this objection, and made it our iuterest
to occupy firmer and more efficient ground on fhe
subject.
"Vvth these views it is very apparent that Mr.
Ewing might be induced to vote for the Proviso,
since he considers the question settled by prece
dent. That we are not straining the inference, is
evident from the fact, that immediately following
the above remarks, he adds : This view of the
matter is measurably the same with that occupied
by Mr. Polk in his approval of the Oregon Bill."
Now if Mr. Polk, under the obligations of an oath,
could give his official sanction to the Wilmot Pro
viso, we see no reason why Mr. Ewing, with
" views measurably the same" could not vote for
it. The. Democracy boast of Mr. Ewjng as a
man of a high order of talents, and at present we
believe that he has few equals in the ranks, of his
party in Tennessee. The ' Standard" has repu
diated Mr. Benton (has it?) for maintaining the
same doctrine, and denounced Mr. Badger, as a
traitor to the South, for admitting the power in
Congress over slavery in the territories ; it remains
to be seen whether that infallible organ of the De
mocracy will hurl its anathemas at the head of
Mr. Ewing. His next Bull of excommunication
should also contain the names of Gen. Houston,
Cave Johnson, John Y. Mason, and Robert J.
Walker, all of whom are equal sinners against
Southern rights. No doubt Gen. McKay is im
plicated likewise, as he refused to sign the South
Address.: Recent developments show that a con
certed opposition was made by the late adminis
tration to the Calhoun doctrines, because those
doctrines tacitly censure the course of the Presi
dent in signing the Oregon Bill. The Locofoco
party was willing to use the slavery question in
the Presidential and Congressional elections lor
pie purpose of injuring the Whigs, but now that
the elections are past, it is discovered that the
whole Cabinet of Mr. Polk and nearly all the old
outhern leaders of his party repudiate the prin
iples upon which they endeavored to elect Gen.
Cass. As to Mr. Walker, it is publicly stated,
and not contradicted, that he entirely approves the
course of Mr. Benton. We have recently seen it
Stated that Gen. Houston is not a free soiler, and
not in tavor oi the apphcation ot the Wilmot
'roviso to California. It is said that he is for ad-
ering to the Missouri Compromise. It may be
that he so expresses himself, but one thing is cer-
ainV-he voted for the Proviso in the Oregon Bill, f
and his particular friend, Mr. Benton, avows that
the Proviso was attached to that bill with a view
to the assertion of the power of the Federal Gov-
mment over the question. At the next session,
e shall expect to see Gen. Houston voting again
r the Proviso, and, alleging in excuse the neces
sity of establishing a government for the Territo
ries. .

Alabama Legislature.-17 S. Senator.-
From the Mobile papers of the 22d, we learn that
the Democrats have a majority of ten in 1h
House, and the Whigs a majority of . one ipi the
Senate." The HuntsvUle Chronicle says that four
of the Democrats elected are Taylor men, and
will vote for Taylor candidates for the United
States Senate. Mr. McMullen, of Butler county
is pledged to give1 his vote to Taylor Sena"
tors. This, if true, will make a tie vote pn that
question in the Legislature.
A Short Conversation. The gentleman
who perpetrated the following, expects to leave

Mr. Spriggins, I wish you would tell one of the

ride him to n'funeraL" w Always some excuse, Mr.
Spriggins; I can never get anpportji&jty to leave

The Sea Serpent Again. A correspondent
of the Boston Journal states that on Saturday,
the 25th ult., he saw a monster of the deep an
swering to the description of the sea serpent.
He says :
We counted sixtten projections or humps npon
the surface abaft his head, and should, judge his
length to have been from one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty feet. His body was, 1 should think,
as large round as a common size oil cask, his color a
dark, muddy hue. He was iu sight about twenty
minutes, and did not alter bis course from the first
time we saw him till he disappeared.;
Crowd at New York. The New York Mir
ror, of Thursday afternoon, says :
" Over four hundred guests dined at the Astor
House, yesterday. The city is fast filling up, and
within the next ten days there will probably be an
addition of 100,000 persons to our resident and float
ing population

death of Martin Andrews, an Ohio pioneer, and
one of the earliest of the band. When he first
descended the Mississippi in a flat boat, it was a

This maxim is far from being verified as re

Constitution or Indiana. At the late elec
tion in Indiana, the people were called to vote

the Tfmon where the" President is 'ridiculed for an
expression falsely stamped as ungrammatical, and
where he is pronounced " weak, ignorant, (J)" and
unskilled' the following gross violations ol gram
mar, (for which a school-boy would be horsed,)'
decur in editorial paragraphs : j
"And what must the country think of a cabinet ,
nho stands by and permits their predecessors, hold
ing &i high a position in the estimation of the Amer-
ican5eopie as they do, to soy the least, to be foully
and shamefully traduced and maligned by a news
paper holding the relation of an ofScilr organ to
them, for whose course they are responsible?"
1 be old schoolmaster here at Hull would give an
urchin nine years old a rap over the knuckles, that
would jrjoake them black and blue, for such a mis
use of a collective noun as is here exhibited. To
show that it is not accidental, here is the blunder in
an aggravated form, on the same page :
"The organ has not answered one of these ques
tions. We again repeat them ; and if the organ can
not, procure the information which they call for from
the Secretary nf the Navy, or t he Secretary of the
Treasury, or the Secretary of State, perhaps U can
from tne Solicitor or tne J rensury, to wbom it ac
knowledges itself indebted for so much information."
Here f s have the organ, first singular, then plur
al, theu singular again, all in five lines! Truly a
most mirafulous organ! And these are the Pris
cians who fcrate of the President's "scorn of the
rules of grammar !"
Another specimen of the nice grammatical sense
of our Locofoco critics is where the Union (editor
loquitur) says of the Whigs : u They gained the
confidence of the people by false promises, which,
after they had obtaiued, they .shamelessly violated."
How I should have trembled for the boy who had
taken up his composition, with a sentence like this
in it, to Old Master Cheever ! "What!" the old man
would'have exclaimed, accompanying the ejaculation
with an adroit twist of the writer's ear, "What,, sir,
don't you know that the violation of a false promise
is tantamount to the keeping of atrue one ! Go back
to your seat, blockhead, and learn to think of the
meaning of words before yon put them on paper!"
Ah, my dear Union, it is dangerous for people who
live in glass houses to throw stones! 1 could go on
picking fifty such flaws in your crack indignution
fenders. At is not with your vicious grammar that I
find fault j but with the impudent charlatanism
which thus repeatedly mutilates the King's English
in print, jn. the very breath in which it sneers at an
old soldier, for an ungrammatical speech. I sucerely
trust tkat;if the "senior" should find it irksome to
take Bp"he study of an excellent little work entUled
" Cobbett's English Grammar for Adults." he will
recommend it to the " two vigorous minds" for their
immediate and attentive perusal.

I am ready to maintain before all the schoolmasters

Gen. Taylor is strictly grammatical and proper.
It conveyed precisely what he meant to say, in the
most concise possible form ; and the dunces who
carp at it would do well to study Lindley Murray
before meddling again with matters which they do
not understand. We can pardon an occasional
infraction of the laws of syntax by a veteran who
has passed the better part of his fife on the tented
field in the service of his country ; but what mea
sure of contempt shall we accord to the scribes and
scribblers who, in attempting to pick flaws in the
brave old man's grammar, and ridicule him, there
for, only show that he can beat them even in the
use of modes and tenses, and who commit tres
passes against syntax (which I will point oatbv-and-by)

the market assumed an animated appearance, and
holders at once sought higher prices.
Before the close of the market on that day, the
