Benton Speech Attacks President Over Texan Treaty Albany 1844
The Cleveland Herald reproduces Mr. Benton’s second address criticizing the President’s Texian negotiations. It condemns the secrecy and alleged deceit in the annexation scheme, arguing the treaty hides a price and violates the Constitution, while paying attention to debt assumptions and land grants as core concessions. It contrasts this with Benton’s view of an improper royal style and warns against corruption in governance. The piece also cites the National Intelligencer on Baltimore conventions and the Polk Van Buren debate, noting private and public jockeying for the Democratic nomination.
