 The last mail brought us the following letter from Col ASHLEY, inclosng a copy of MT. BeNroN's Bill for the Annexation of Texas. It will be seen that Col * desires the Bill and his letter. to be laid before the members of the Legislature order, if it be deemed necessary, thathe may be instructed how to vote. The Bill is the same. in substance, and almost rcrbatial, as that introduced by Mir. Benton at the last session-and which met not only the dis approval but the indignant condemnation, oi the especially of She people of Arkansas It will be seen that Col Ashley dsapproves the Bill for the same reasons that caused us all to dlsaPPeVe it at the last session, and will cause us to condemn and oppose it in all time to come. To say nothing of the other provisions of the Bill, which seem to s obviously defective and unsatisfactory, he 9th and 9th sections are insulting to Texas, derogatory 10 fine character of our own government, and directly at war with thc interests and feelings of the whole south and West The spirit of Abolitionisn, which shews itself in the unwarranahle interference with inc question of slavery calls for resistance on the part of the South Western States, which they dare not neglect to make While the dastardly propos- ton 10 obtain the assent of Mexico justly subjects the author of il to the scorn of every man who has the heart of an American citizen in his bosom. h our opinion, Mir Benton has only one more step 10 tae to carry oal the spirit of lis Bill and o com plete his own degradation and that is 10 add another section to his Bill, in the following wofl5:-t. | shall De he daty of faomas IT.

 We lay this matter before the Legislature in ias- tcc to our Senators particularly to Col. Ashley who desires it. Col. Serer had not reached Wash ington when the Bill was introduced but has, be fore this time; and all who know him, know well that his views and course such as will do hona 10 an American statesman. We do not baaee taa Legislature will 64em il necessary 10 instsne. onr Senators farther than has already been deae-lor they will do right without instructions.
