Aimrxniioit in a IVcnr Shape The bill submitted to the Senate on Monday last, by Mr. Benton having for its object the annexation Of Texas to the United States is substantially as follows 1st. It fixes the boundary line in the desert prarie west of the river Nueces. 2nd. The people of Mexico shall first declare their assent by some legislative act.

3rd. Out of the territory acquired one State is to be created, to be called the State of Texas, equal in size to one of.the largest States in the Union. 4th. The remaining portion is to be placed upon the same footing with the other Territories within the jurisdiction of the V. S.

and to be called the South Western Territory. 5th. The existence of Slavery to be forever prohibited in the North Western portion, and so regulated as to divide the country into two equal portions. Glh. The consent of Mexico shall be first obtained, but that feature shall not be imperative should Congress determine to dispense with it.

7th. All remaining details the bill provides shall be eettled by treaty stipulations. This presents the case in a much better light than it was before and is altogether as near an approach to justice and fair dealing as wc can expect. It recognises the right of Mexico to be treated, at least, with common civility and although it declares that Committee, and osVi aisens. held at Stevens' ho in the cH ot Brooklyn, on Tuesday, Uth of Jf June, 1814 it was Resolved, That a call be made of the Democratic Republican Electors of Kings County for a Ge.

Mr. Black, of South Carolina, in which tho fonner said, in nab.

stance, that tho Democratic nomination of President, at Baltimore, ought to meet with no respect from tho country, and that James K. Polk could not got ono electoral college, unless that of South Carolina. The Hon. gentleman having been called upon to name the person whom he had thus overheard, and refused, the following Democratic members from New York, after remarking that it is quite unusual to refer, in debate, to the casual conversations of members at the hotels, aud in their dressing rooms, assert, each for himself, and with the most undoubting confidence in tho statements of each other, that neither he nor they have, at any time or place, had any such conversation, or made any such remark, as was described by Mr. Peyton and they pronounce those remarks of Mr.

Peyton, so far as they were meant to have any reference to tho undersigned, as utterly destitute of truth. On the conlrary, they feel great pleasure in being able to say that, in their belief, the nomination of Governor Polk will receive, as it de Berves, the cordial and zealous support, not only of the whole democracy of the state of New York, but of all the states in the Union, and that he will receive a very large majority of tho electoral votes."

Benton, Ainasa JJana, Wm. S. Hubbell. High Honor. The Kings ICounty Klay Klub, at its last meeting, unanimously elected the Hon.

Theodore Frelingliuysen a member, and instructed its corresponding secretary to acquaint him of their action. After acknowlcging the honor and returning thanks, Mr. F. says When we consider the measures of public policy to which Mr. Clay has devoted much of his useful life and splendid talents, the grounds of your preference commend themselves to general favor and surely in his rN'DkviATiNG pursuit of the great interests of his country, we may find a satisfactory pledge that his el evation will not cisappoint any just expectation.

This is rather a hard hit at the man ho has been for and against a United States Bank, upon high and constitutional grounds for and against Protection everything, in short, by turns, and nothing long. There is virtue in that saving clause any just expectation but we do not think that he will disap jxiint simpl' because lie will not have a chance By the bye if 31 F. is to be loaded with honors af ter this fashion, and compelled to write letters to all the Klay Klubs in the United States, ho will be pretty thoroughly used up before the battle is well commenced. Of it Union is Perfect It is impossible for us to publish all the facts that meet us in the papers going to prove the truth of Mr. Webster's sentiment, as expressed above.

The other day we announced the recantation of sixty tico Whigs, in a mass, at Ohio and this morning we find in the Nashville Union of the 4th inst. a paragraph stating that the Hon. A. H. Chappell, M.

C. from Georgia, has declared his abandonment of Clay. The Ohio Statesman of a recent date contains this note Mr. Meoary: I have been a whig for twenty years, and I have went to all lengths for the cause both night and day. I am a foreigner, and as my party seem to have taken a strange course lately.

thinking they have no right to vote notwithstanding I have always voted with that party, I conclude they have got tired of my vote. You will therefore please publish that I am no longer with them, but will vote the democratic ticket hereafter. John F. Thomas, of Allen Co. May, 18 14.

How the people are ris'm, For Clay and Frelingliuysen A Revoli.tio.nary Enterprise. A Spanish pa in New Orleans, called La Indiana, states that General Scntmanat embarked from that port on the 27th with a band of hardy followers, engaged in an expedition intended to revolutionize Tobasco, one of the Mexican departments. Gen. S. was formerly Governor of that province, and he declared against Santa Ana, and raised a revolution but he was soon overpowered by the superior forces of Gen.

Ampudia, his followers were dispersed, and he himself took refuge in Yucatan. From Campeachy Sentmanat embarked for Havana, whence, about two months since, he left for New Orleans, where he has since been engaged in raising this expedition privately. Great Rally oi' the Whigs at Jamaica. In conformity with the request of the great Whig mass meeting," (numbering, says the Democrat, about sixty persons) which convened at tlie Court House on the 25th ult. to organise a County Clay Club, the Whigs of Jamaica assembled at tlie Mili I tary Hall on Saturday evening last to the number of six cho each other officers, resolved to elect Clay and and adjourned in good season.

The greatest harmony and enthusiasm prevailed. Relics of the Olden Time. Wc see it stated in the paper that a short iron cannon, weighing several hundred pounds, has been dug up from the bed of the Hudson, opposite Caldwell's landing, and that a large mass of something too heavy for the machinery applied was got hold of, and then let go. These articles are supposed to be part and parcel of Captain Kidd's frigate sunk there once upon a time am) some conjecture that the Dutchman himself is amoni the rubbish.

Gentlemen: Tho letter which, as a Committee appointed lor that purpose, you have addressed to mo, convoys the information that the Democratic National Convention assembled at Baltimore, hatre with great unanimity nominated me to be the candidate of the Democracy for Vice President of the United States the ensuing election." It is under a deep and grateful senso of the honor confers and of the confidence it manifests, that I frankly accept this nomination. 1 am aware of the responsibilities to which it suddenly summons me, and which are thus promptly Should the renewed efforts of the political party to which I have always bcon attached, provo successful, I may find, my personal deficiencies, cause to repent the temerity which did not shrink from the burtlicnsome duties exalted station but with an habitual roliance upon the generous candor of my fellow citizens, 1 am quite sure that no results can take from my readiness to venture into tho service of my country, under the genial auspices and for the pure purposes of democ rac', its natural and ample consideration.

Our Temperance and Native American friend, Col. Snow, the Bostonian," is heard of. We began to feel somewhat alarmed for his safety, as wo had not seen him for nearly six weeks, and were apprehensive that he had "gone off" in a (it of patriotism but a paragraph which wc cut from the Aurora two or three days ago, thus exhumes him We must not forget to make mention of the laudable efforts of a tall, good natured, blacksmith looking man to elevate the character of the review on the Battery. He clung to the mayor as pertinaciously as a crab would to a sheep's head, and resolutely kept prominent position between his honor and the blanil and pleasant general. The crowd supposed the stranger to be at least tho first Marshal of the Prcsi pent of the Board of Aldermen but after thousands of inquiries, and pushing and hunting enough to get close inspection, it was ascertained that the mysterious man was no less a personage than Colonel Snow, the redoubtable temperance lecturer."

Having expressed a very high opinion of this work as it appeared in numbers, we can hardly think it necessary to repeat it now.

The literary contents are of a superior quality, as they can hardly fail to be when such writers as Frost, Herbert, McCabe, Hawthorne, Miss Sedgwick, Miss Leslie, Mrs. Sigourney, Mrs. E. O. Smith, Mrs.

John Low My business is in Fulton street. I was passing over the street on the night in question and saw Miller just leaving Todd's store when he came near Hive's store he called out, Stop, keep oft'!" I then saw a man standing between the two stores adjacent to Todd's; he struck ot Miller and knocked off his hat. I was near the curb stono, and came up near Carnaghan saw that lie was very much injured asked what was tho cause of the fracas and told Miller he had killed Carnaghan. When I first saw Tom he was standing still, near the house.

Crass examined I could sec distinctly from the light which proceeded from the stores. Tom seemed to be standing, doing nothing lie was thus when Miller called out. Tom then rushed upon him, and I believe gave the first blow, with tho left hand. I could not say that I saw Miller strike him at all the blow knocked Miller's hat Tlie reason why I did not sec Miller strike was, that a man happened to pass between tlicm aud myself at the moment. Bridget Doiinegan I resided with Mr.

Todd in last, over the auction store, and was acquainted with Thomas Carnaghan. I was there the night he got hurt and talked with him. He came up to get me to light him in the cellar, where he was to get some chairs out. I went down with him, and tnld lmn In. li I taken glass.

Afterwards he said, I will fix somebody oil', this very night." I do not know what he meant by it. The reason why I accused him of drinking was, that I smcllcd his breath.

A Canadian Hoax. At a very amusing hoax hus been practised on the credulity of Her Majesty's lieges. The Gazette tells the tale in these words On Tuesday, a very clever je.u d'exprit was played off; and if we were sure that the fair publisher would not sue us for breach of cipyri'dit, we should certainly publish it in lieu of the news expected to day. It consisted of a very spacious aud business like newspaper extra, containing the important intelligence received by special cxnress from Vnv York, of the arrival of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, in Yankee land. It created quite" a sensation, a id numerous were the inquiries at the newspaper office and the post office, by the credulous.

Mr. Porfeus was, of course, unable to give any account of it, being by special express hut this "was only set down to official mystery, and his incredulity to vexation at the post office being beaten.

Smith. Stephen IN. Stillwell, The Dist. Attorney opened the case for the prosecu tion by stating to the jury that the deceased Thomas Carnaghan was in the employ of R. Todd, Auctioneer in Fulton Street and gave a succinct narration of the circumstances under which tho deceased met his death, which are already familiar to our readers.

He stated that there was evidence to show that tho deed was committed in hot blood and under high excitement and if the case were stripped of these, the prisoner would have to answer for a crime of much greater magnitude than stated the indictment. Dr. John Oociran sworn. itncss examined me deceased on the evening of the 23d March last, at Blaurove's drug store, corner of Fulton and Main. On removing his clothes a wound on the left side of the chest was exposed which had been caused by some sharp instrument, about three inches deep.

I forbore to probe deeper on account of the flow of blood. The pulse was scarcely to be felt. I saw the patient early the next morning and he was better but he died, as I wasinformcd, about a quarter past 1). The witness here went into a technical description of the wound, as discovered upon the post mortem examination. The direction of the wound was downward and forward towards the right side so that if it had been extended, the knife would have come out in the right side of the abdomen, a little below the navel.

His riyht hand came down, but as his back was toward me I did not sec it after it passed below his shoulder. Tom raised his left hand, struck Miller over the top of his head, and knocked his hat off. Mr.

Todd then went up and asked what was the matter as Tom seemed to be reeling about the sidewalk. Miller picked up his hat, and Mr. Todd asked him what done. I to Tom. Millr mt make any definite reply, but said See how he has abused me then put on his hat and walked away.

Todd then took Tom by the arm and said, Tom, what is the matter with you can't j'ou speak Tom said don't you see I looked on the ground anu saw blood and finding that it did not proceed from his nose or face, as I supposed, I concluded that he must have been stabbed. I saw him a short time afterwards in Blagrove's drug store. Cross exami ned. They did not clench each other when they met, and seemed to strike about the same time. Mrs.

Susan Gough. I was returning from Market, and was passing to the corner of Fulton and Henry streets I saw two men, one of whom appeared to be in liquor and the other supporting him. The left arm of the first was then raised up and knocked oil' the hat of the latter. Then they separated, and the man with a violin in one hand and a parcel under his arm. walked away; and the other shrugged up his shoulders, gave a groan, and walked towarde Mr.

Todd's store. I recognize the prisoner to be the man with the violin. Ovooa cx I was about one quarter across the street when I first saw them and they seemed to he moving towards Henry street; Miller was on the leftside of the drunken man. The District Attorney objected to his being char acterised as the drunken man, as there was no evidence to that effect. It was disrespectful to the unfortunate man, iind conveyed a false impression.

The court ruled it proper, as such an impression was produced on liie witness's mind by the appearance of the deceased. Phineas C. Sanson. I saw this carvinir knife, or a similar one, in the possession of Miller, on tlicni'dit of the 23d March last. The prosecution here rested.

Mr. Rockwell opened for the defence by remarking that it might appear, from the unusual array of council here, the prisoner might be supposed in that condition of life which would indicate ample means to defend himself. This was far from being true he was a man with a large family and almost friendless. The efforts of counsel were perfectly gratuitous, because they found from gencial representation that he was a man not only correct, but estimable in his habits and character. Finding him a man of punctilious integrity, and that he was struggling with adverse circumstances, he (Mr.

Rockwell) was willing to undertake his defence without an prospect of remuneration. It was an exceedingly painful thing for the jury to sit upon a case of this kind where a verdict of guilty must send the prisoner to State Prison to know that their decision must inflict indelible disgrace upon him and his family. But it was usually not half so puinful as it seemed to be. It was generally the case that the jury were not called to pass their verdict upon a prisoner until he had lost all his character and become perfectly abandoned, until his family and himself were better off with him shut up in the State Prison. But Mr.

Miller was an exception to this rule being a man of almost unparalleled inletrritv willing to exert himself to the utmost for the well'aie of his family and an estimable citizen. It would, therefore, be indeed a deprivation to the prisoner's family, if their verdict should be against him. He would now briefly advert to the points which were to be made for the defence. Mr. Rockwell said he had not conversed with the principal witnesses, but he supposed that it would appear that, for some reason or other, the unfortunate deceased bore an old feeling of grudge and ill will towards the prisoner.

Miller attended the auction sale, on thecveniug in question, and purchased this carving knife, with other knives, for the use of his family. Carnaghan was a porter in Mr. Todd's auction store. After the prisoner had purchased the knives and a violin, he started for home. In the meantime Carnaghan, under the influence of exasperated feeling, went to the coiner of Fulton and Henry streets, and there by in wail for the prisoner for what reason was for the jury to judge but evidently with the intention to infiiet violence upon him.

As Miller passed on his way home, he met Carnan han on the sidewalk, What occurred there would appear in the testimony. The deceased threatened him with violence, and the prisoner then went back to Todd's, who called out for Carnaghan but ho did not come. Miller then went back to the infuriated and drunken man, who struck him. The blow was of so violent a cliararrter that Miller was stunned he was insensible of what he did, or how lie defended himself: and, I believe, did not know that he struck Carnaghan at all. It was not to be supposed that the prisoner endeavored to coneeal the fact.

lie this as it might, the jury must he satisfied beyond a doubt, and if they had a doubt as to the motive and intention of the prisoner (for the crime lay altogether in the in tent; they must acquit him. Hotter was it that ten guilty persons should escape than one innocent man be punished that was the rule of law. If the prisoner committed this deed in necessary self defence'; or, if the blow was unconsciously given, he was not to be held guilty. You must be satisfied that tho nrisnner nun Mine una me ueccaseu with the intention of so doing. He never thought of arming himself, with these utensils purchased for the use of his family.

Mr. Bunce says he saw Carnnghan strike he prisoner, and knock off his hat. Miller had both hands rained above his head, the knife in the right, with the point upward, and the violin in the left. When Canum han struck at him, with his left hand, Miller naturally brought down both hands thus bringing tho point of the knife to Cnrnaghan's left side, and us the later naturally turned, in knocking off the prisoner's hat, he thus received the knife, and it passed down to I her assent shall not be considered indispensable, if Congress, in its wisdon, should resolve otherwise, still, it affords time for an amicable and full discussion of the subject by the people and governments of both countries, and devolves the responsibility of adhering to or rejecting that condition upon the Legislative, and not the Executive department This provision will conciliate those who have based their objections to the late treaty mainly upon the ground that it "would furnish cause for a war with Mexico, and probably involve us in such an one and if, as the well informed suspect, the chief desire of Santa Anna has been rather to maintain the honor of the great Mexican nation in the eyes of the world, than to persist an bis opposition to a scheme which fate seems to Tiave rendered inevitable if, in truth, he is willing to cut loose from this troublesome department" when ever it can be done without seeming to conflict with his exalted notions of dignity and self respect, or tending to encourage oilier portions of his subjects to revolt and follow suit then there can be no difficulty, we in obtaining his assent which is equivalent to hat of the people. In regard to the Slavery queslion which is next in importance, and first, even, in the minds of many the proposition of Mr.

Benton is conciliatory and judicious. It may not satisfy the Northern Come outers, and those who subsist upon the constant and un remitted agitation of a topic which, more than any one else, is calculated to inflame the passions of the South and West but to those who, while they acknowledge and deplore the evil and regard its abolition as certain, are nevertheless convince that it must be the work of time, such an arrangement will prove ac cepiable.

But let us not be misunderstood.

For ourselves we are opposed, now as ever, to the annexation of Texas, and if the queslion were submitted to the people to morrow, we should cast our vote in the negative but regarding it as a consummation which is destined to take place, and at no future time, we arc satisfied that Mr. Benton's plan, for helping it forward, is the only safe and practicable one yet sug gested. We are, therefore, well pleased that he has broached it, at the present crises, and believe that it will receive the concurrence of the people. Conureit. In the Senate, on Monday, Mr.

Benton introduced his promised bill to provide for the Annexation of Texas to the United States the substance of which will be found in another column. It was read once, and ordered to a second reading the next day. A message was then received from the House, an ouncing the death of the Hon. Mr. Read.

Mr. Ellis moved to take up the bill in relation to postage, but several members objected, and the motion failed. The bill is virtually dead, though it was probably taken up yesterday. Mr.
