Mr. Hannegan replied.
From the -Raleigh Register.
" LET JUSTICE BE DONE," &c.
One objection raised by the Democra
cy to the appointment of Field Officers to
the Regiment, is that they were not taken
from among those who had volunteered.
Now we happen to know that several
gentlemen volunteered on purpose to run
for these offices, who never intended to go
as one of your citizens has begged of you in rain ! unless they were so appointed. These as-

you would have made a highway for the wojrld
between Asia and Europe. Your capital then
would be within thirty or forty days trial of
any and every point on the map of the civilized
world. Through this great artery of trade you
would have carried through the heart of your
own country the teas jpf China and the spices
of India to the market of England and France.
Why, w hy,; Mr. President, did we abandon the
entei irises of peace, jand betake ourselves j to
the barbarous achievements of war ? Why-did
we " forsake thisair and fertile field to batten
on that moor V !
But Mr. President, if further acquisition! of
territory is to be the result either of conquest
or treaty, then I scarcely know which should be
preferred eternal wajr with Mexico, or the haz
ards of eternal commotion at home, which last
I fearnay come if another province is to be add
ed to our territory. There is one topic connec
ted with this suliject which I tremble when I
approach, and yet I cannot forbear to notice it.
It meets you at every step you take, it threat
ens you which way soever you go in the pros
ecutiOn of this war. j
I allude to the question of slarery. Opposi
tion to its further extension, it must be obvious
to every, one, is so deeply-rioted determination
with men ol all parties in what we call the non
alaveholdinji States. New York, Pennsylva-
L O , ' a
nia and Ohio, three of the most powerful, have
already sent'their legislative instructions here
so it will be, I doubt not, in all the rest. It
is vain now to speculate about the reason fbr
this. Gentlemen of the South may call lit pre
judice, passion, hypocrisy, fanaticism. I shall
not dispute with them now on that point. The
great fact that it isso, and not otherwhise, is
what it concerns us to know. You nor I can
not alter or change this opinion if we would.
These people only say we will not, cannot con
sent that you shall carry slavery where it does

simple object which he had in view in present,
ing the resolution wal to procure full, accurate,
and impartial reports of the debates in the Se.
nate. Hitherto they; had not been able Jo ob- :
tain such reports. It! was of great importance
that a full and correct record should Le made ;
of the interesting and important debates such j
as that of the prccedihg evening which were ;
at present allowed to pass to oblivion. It was !
not iu the power of ithe human mind to recall, I
with the accuracy required in an authentic re- j
cord, the words spoken in debate.1 The aid of
stenographers was jqdispcnsahle. As to the I
practicability of the plan, it had been abundant- j
ly eslablished. He I had befire him a volume J
of the London I imes,;contaiiiing full and com
plete reports of the debates in Parliament.
Frequently Parliament sal from five o'clock in
the afternoon till f jur br five o'clock next morn,
ing ; and yet the debates were given in full, and
published in the morning paper three hours af
ter the adjournment. ; He had the most friendly
feelings towards Blair cV Bives ; and the pro
posed plan, instead of inflicting any injury upon
those gentlemen, would benefit them by saving
them the expense of reporting in the Senate.

Tlie Federal papers are establishing j
with much parade and exultation as an ;
evidence that Gov. Graham and his par-,
tizanl appointments are vastly popular!
with bur Regiment of Volunteers, the fact, j
that the Camp near Smithville is called
' Camp Graham.' Wonderful proof, truly !
His Excellency appoints a ' Whig" Colo- !
nel dver a Democratic Regiment this,
' Whig" Colonel, in honor of his patron, ;
calls the Camp of the Regiment he com- j
manlls, 4 Camp Graham,' and this proves,
say the Federal prints, how popular Gov. j
Grahim and his appointments are ! The
Regiment had as much to do in naming

have volunteered once, but when the Ad
jutant General called on him to march to
Wilmington, he protested that his name
had been put on the list without his au
thority, and averred that he had never vo
lunteered. But if it was a proper rule for the Gov
ernor, the Regiment have certainly the
greatest right to complain of its infraction.
Well, how do they understand it ? And
how have they acted upon it ? They have
lately elected a Chaplain, Mr. Battle, who
had not volunteered, by a large vote over
a clergyman of talents and standing Mr.
Feeeman, who had joined them as a pri
vate. We have another late example of an
actual repudiation of the rule, by the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives in Con
gress. In the discussion of the Bill au
thorizing President Polk to appoint an ad
ditional number of General Officers in the
Army, Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, moved to
amend the 2d section, so as to make it read
which Officers shall be selected from
the volunteer corps now in service'' ; which
was lost the whole Democracy voting
against the amendment.
Now, is it liberal, is it just, to make a
rule for the Governor, which no one else
observes? which even the Regiment in
their own elections disregard ? And is it
right (we do not ask if it is generous) to

en to a. Company Camp, composed of men,
too, chiefly, from two as decided " Demo
craticvCounties as in the State ; and the
" Whig Colonel" had as much to do with
bestowing the name of Graham upon the
Camp as did the veritable Editor of the
Journal" himself. "Camp Graham" was
the name of the Wake and New Hano
ver Company Camp, and if " partizan"
predilections governed in the choice of
the title, the presumption is forced upon
us, that; the majority of this Company are
Whigs, although representing strong Lo
co Foco Counties. And if the Regiment
saw proper to adopt it as the name of the
Regimental Camp, they had a perfect
right to do so, and the Whig Colonel"
had no control over the matter, at all.

Mr Johnson could inform the Senator that he
