He said he was one of those who had heretofore believed that the norihern De. mocracy were the natural allies of the South, but the vote on the Oregon bill had dispelled the illusion.' '' In connection with this subject. Col. Davis contended lhat, without the interference of Con gress, the South could never participate in the settlement and colonization of New Mexico and California; and scouted the idea that the inhab itanls of these regions should be permitted to decide the question, whether domestic slavery should or should not le tolerated within their borders. He seemed to look upon ihe proposi lion as monstrous absurdity, and in ihis repect, differed as widely from Cass' views as John C. Calhoun himself." We commend the foregoing extracts to lhe attention ofthe Democracy of Georgia as en lirelv worthy of their consideration and reflec tion. Col. Davis is a most thorough and deciJ ed Democrat, one whoe opinions are looked to with great interest in Mississippi and the South west. He is therefore sound upon the question nd will not, . . a we presume, be less than five thousand men to fight its way against President Polk's favorite San ta Anna with 20,000 ; and after he had gloriously succeeded in whipping that chieftain, and winning one of the most brilliant victories in the word's records, Mr. Polk thought him incompetent to com mand an army, and so recommended Mr. Senator Benton to Congress to be commis sioned as Lieut. General over him ! Thenceforward the batteries of the Ad ministration presses were opened on the brave old hero, and their abuse flowed upon him in a continued stream. They tried hard to prove him an ignoramous, liar, a swindler, an imbecile and even a a a a l tan nersonal aouse an i : r. would do well to let the mj-c t arguments only tend to com in people more strongly than ever their demand.
