JAMES q. BENNETT, Esq


The Texas debate was continued in the Senate
to-day by Mr. Buchanan of Pennsylvania, who
made one of the most powerful arguments, in
national sense, ever delivered on this important
national question. The galleries and obbies of the
Senate chamber were crowded to overAowing, ,and
the House of Representatives was nearly depopu-
lated during the time he was on the hsor He an
swered all the plausible positions assumed by SEN
ator Morehead, of Kentucky. who spoke against
annexation yesterday, and removed the cloud of
sophisuy that he then raised to obstruc, the eyes
of the nation from clear view of this subject
The members of the Senate and House cleo
ted by the democratic party, who have op-
posed this measure, will be found in the ranks
Of whiggery before or Immediately after Texas
becomes a star in the constellation of this
Union The whis party, in their opposition,
are governed by desire to court and secure
the abolition for their candidate for President
in 1S4S. That portion Of the democratic party who
have proved treacherous TO their constituents on
this question, have been governed by desire TO
conciliate the abolition party, in order to secure
influence powerful enough TO control the northern
part of the western and all the eastern States
They have been led away from their duty and pro-
prietyS by q vlsion-an igwns fatuus-and will be
politically lost in the mist. One of the stranges
evidences OF infatuation in cause reeking with
disunion and treason, was the proposition made in
the House Of Representatives on Wednesday, by
Preston King, Of ST. Lawrence county, New York,
10 receive "Iowa" as State, but reject "Fori-
rida." Let such dark colored political intrigue
govern the actions Of certain Senators, and the ac-
tual objects Of Preston King will be made appa-
rent, although it would seem that his mind had be-
come disordered in his zeal to serve cause not
sustained by his constituents or the democracy of
the Emrire State.


Quite an exciting debate arose in the House to-
day, on the passage OF the bill 10 appropriate money
for the support of the West Point Academy. DR..
Duncan opposed the bill, and the army appropria-


on generally, and offered an amendment 10 appro-
pirate 5000 to investigate frauds IN the recent
elections. On this amendment he obtained the
floor, and presented most complete exposure OF
whig tactics, frauds, caricauree, Roofbacksm,
NC and concluding, Withdrew his amendment,
much to the amusement of the House General
Haralson, of Georgia, responded in defence OF the
army West Point, Nc., and also Of the retrench-
ment bill presented by the Committee.


The President elect received the calls OF nume-
rous citizens and strangen to-day. He looks II
