Gentixmen—Circumstances have not allowed me an_ opportunity, until the present moment, of your letter of the 18th of December. Tn that letter you expressed the belief, that a pro- position might probab! at its present session, for the annexation of Texas to the United States; and you desire. to know my opinions on the constitutionality of such a mea- sure; its probable effect on the character and future overnment; its tendency to promote reedom, or to strengthen the bonds of slavery; and, in general, the consequences which may justly be expected to result from the annexa- tion to the United States of a large slaveholding country, not only to American libert i industry, and the continuance of the butalso to the great cause of human knowledge, virtue, and happiness in the United States, and Texas, and throughout the world. At the time when your letter was received, I in- dulged a strong hope that no such proposition would be made in Congress, or would proceed from any I deem it quite unfortunate that a topic, so certain to produce great excitement, should be added to the other causes, operating at the present moment, to create diversities of politi- ves before purchasing elsewn 5 Groats for gruel, vines and flow- ys ou hand at the New York. the «project wi than we were disposed to give to it. no longer ago than the 26th of last month, though uuspicions Were hot altogether laid, we treated the report of @ pending megociation for “ f ceived by way of ‘Texas and New Orleans, as being most probably ‘the work of wanton mischief or interested speculation,” Little did we even then dream that the in- fluences to which wethen alluded, us being employed in agitating the question of annexation, had been seconded by the Executive power of this Government, i the man- ner and in the extent to which we are forced, tion from different quarters, reluctantly to believe.

By the Convention with France of the 30th April, 1803, Louisiana was ceded to the United States, with this condition: “The inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the Union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoy- ment of all the rights, advantages, and immunities of citizens of the United States: and in th time they shall be maintained and protected in the ¢ ent of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess.” It is now known to have been Mr. Jeflerson’s opinion, at the time, that an amendment of the Constitution was necessary, in order to carry this stipulation into effect; and it is known, also, that such was the opinion, ably and earnestly maintain- ed by many distinguished persons in the govern- nt. The treaty, however, was ratified. No amendment of the Constitution was proposed, and in 1812 Louisiana was admitted into the Union as pon the same footing as the original States. All branches of the government concurred in this act, and the country acquiesced in it. In the year 1819, a tr Spain, for the cession of Florida. lowed the precedent of that with France, and con- tained this stipulation : “The inhabitants of the territories which his cedes to the United States, by be incorporated in the Union of i as may be consistent with the principles of the federal constitution, and admitted to the enjoyment of all the rights, and immunities, of the citizens ot THE CORRESPONDENCE B} BURNS AND CLAKINDA.

We prefer the hazards of an untried stute, to the certainty of participation in the greatest moral crime of the age, that of lending the sanction of a Free Kepublic wo the extension and perpetuation of sl.very. ‘This we would say, even on the hypothesis that such un annexation as is proposed, were within the purview of the Constitution, But when clearly and obviously opposed thereto,— when no one can pretend for an instant thatit was ever in the contemplation of those who entered amvo this Union, that a foreign, ent Btute could, by treaty, be brought in as an additional member—our conviction is un- alteruble, that such 4 measure would and shouid dissolve the contract.

What was that object? We can ouly suppose or conceive it,to have been that publicity was feared as almost certain to defeat the purpose. Although the an- nexation of Texas has tor some years been spoken of, and recently with more confidence and precision than at any former’ tim, the country at large strongly impressed with a beliet that ditated ; and therefore the utterance of objections lias only been slight and incidental. It was undoubtedly known ané felt at Washington thot if the sense of the whoie people should be stimulated to expression by the belief -hat the plot was in active progress, that expression would come from all parts of the land, in thunder tenes of such volume and such import, that theyfcould Le neither mista- ken nor disregarded, ‘Theretore, as we conceive, it was deemed wise to carry on the scheme with the least possi- ble outward show that might attract observation, in the obvious hope that when brought to rpening—when the country should be committed by the action of its bxecu- tive—a large proportion of the dissentients would be duced to submit asto an evil past remedy, and therefore not calling for resistance. i This we suppose to have been the policy of these en- gaged in the negociation. But though we can admit that there are occasibns when it is expedient to sanction what has been done, simply because it has been done, the an- nexation of ‘Texas is & measure so important in its Conse- quences, and as we conceive, so prejudiciul to the best in- tests of the Union, that it should be resisted step by step to the very last, no matter at what sacrifice of apparent per- sonal or even national consistency or good faith. At all events, we think that the voice of the country should be heard upon it—the matured opinion of the country be ex- pressed, after full and careful discussion. It it is not the will of the people, spoken by the recognized voice of the an unequivocal majority, the people's cry of “ Hold!” should be heard and obeyed, even be ie the president of the Senate were in the act of giving the last testimonial of ratification to the treaty by his signature. ‘ ‘The objections to the annexation ol Texas are too weigh- ty and far too numerous to be discussed in a single article. We shall not, therefore, touch upon them at this time; nor indeed is it necessary, perhaps, that we should reter to them at all, considering that we publish, in this same sheet a letter from Daniel Webster in which some of them are marshaled and enforced with his wonted perspecuity ond force of expression. (From the Courier and Enquirer} Our Washington correspondent some days since, ex- pressed the conviction that Mr. Tyler had signed such ‘Treaty, and we have learned from another and very high that it is quite probable such a Treaty is in exist But we have not seen anything which warrants the supposition thut it has been sent to the Senate, or that that boay would assent to it; on the contrary, we hay good reason to believe that it would not sanction any such proceeding ; and there the matter must end for the present. But suppose it were otherwise—suppose the Treaty signed and ratified by the Senate—it then becomes the supreme law of the land ; and we are astonished that any northern press and especially one under the charge of 80 able and zealous an eof the supremacy of the laws as the New York American, should talk of disunion. For ourselves, we sincerely hope that no such ‘Treaty has been or will be entered into, because we know that a very large class ot people at the north are opposed to it. But at the same time our own convictions ever have been and now are, favorable to such @ measure ; and for the Jollow ing reasons : First. The annexation of Texas would of necessity, ex- clude the further introduction of slaves from abroad into that beautiful country, because the laws of the Union would be extended over it, and those laws make the slave trade piracy Second. it would not increase the number of slaves in the conntry, but merely increase the territory occupied by them. Third, It isa well known fact, that wherever slave labor is most valuable, it is the interest of the master to treat the slave most kindly. Where his labor produces the largest return, the master cam afford and find his in- terest in providing for him better food, clothing and er, and consequently every person who has at heart welfare of t should zealously advocate any and every measure which is calculated to compel the slave-holders in the northern slave States to send him further South. Fourth With the rich lands of Texas inhabited by our own people and constituting a portion of our Union, no slave holder in Delaware, Maryland, Virgin. peeping or Missouri, could afford to retain the: ves, but would tind it their interest to send them further South. Fifth. The annexation of Texas would greatly increase the wealth and, rapidly extend the commerce of the country. Sixth. Texas in twenty years will grow all the cotton that Great Britain will require. She willadmit British oods free of duty, and in return, Great Britain will ex- Inde the cotton of the United States from her ports, un less we too receive her goods free; and it we refuse, as we doubtless will, they will be smuggled into the country through Texas! The truth of these questions cannot be questioned. But say the br pcm of this measure—'the influence of the South will preponderate by the admission of new slave . Is thie true? Can anew State be admitted with- out the sanction of Congress: and will not the North al- ways refuse the admission of u mew slave State into the Union without the admission of a free State at the same time? ‘Then what becomes of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri! ‘Texas apart of the Union, and in a very few years these become free States of necessity. Delaware is virtually so at this time, and Maryland, Ken- tucky and Virginia would have b if the abolitionists had not interfered with them. In short, we cannot find a solitary valid argument against the admission of Texas into the Union, while we are of the deliberate opinion that philanthropy and policy are alike in favor of the moasure. But, says the Americar dissolution of the Uniot When in 1830 South Carolina and the Sonth talked of Jisunion, we reminded them that the Tariff law was pass- ed by a bare majority of Congress and sanctioned by the F.xecutive; and that they should be made to submit th this ee were right. If Texas comes into the Union by Treaty, the Representatives of seventeen of the twenty-six States ate, must eanction that treaty, and then it be comer the supreme law of the land. Are we prepared to assume leas tenable ground now, than wes occupied by South Carolina in 1830? We think not. The North loves the Union too well, to talk of n dissolution because of an net which her yn immedia esentatives must of necessity, sanction, She knows her interest too well, and she unde nds her duty to the Union too well, to use sich language. a Let all who are opposed to such Treaty, remonatrate with the Senate ogainst its approval. We are not so op- posed; but becar » think onr people are, under a mis- taken notion of its we are willing to raise our voice with others, again approved by, Se. nate, But if notwithste remonatrance of the North, the treaty should be made and Texas should ag become a part of oar Un for it of right belongs to and never should have be with—then shall we he found standing by t ion, at CA and every hazard, and at the same time experience a well grounded convie tion that its prosperity will be increased, and the cause of vuilanthrophy be strengthened, by the very act to which exception is taken in such harsh terms, if admitted, “that treaty is « Fox ann Fresners.—The water rose so suddenly yesterdaymorning that manyin the lower part of this city were caught literally with their trousers off, It com menced rising in e hour that almost everybody ix fast asleep in his toga; the con- sequence was that many had to emigrate for dry land rather suddenly, and somewhat in dishabille.
