The great question that now agitates the people of this country and also the inhabitants of Texas, is the question of the annexation of the latter to the former. It is a very grave and important question, and one that will no doubt receive its full share of the attention of our government. That our go- vernment will act upon it during the present session of our Congress, we have no doubt, and it is stated in many of the papers that the following will be the vote:— For Annexation. Against it. New Hamp.hire, 2 Arkwz 2 Verinout, 2 New York, 1M 2 Maine, 2 Peansylvania, 2 2 Massnehusetts, 2 Marviand, 2 2 Connecticut, 1 Delawa 2 2 Isiand, 2 Virgi 2 2 ‘Palimadge of N.Y.)

Indeed, we believe she has intimated the same thing to our government! Eng- jand also, it is said, will not permit us to acquire this important additional territory—and war is held up, in ferrorem, if we incorporate Texas into our republic. This requires of us a cool, deep and profound consideration of the rights of the parties involved in the contemplated annexation. The rights of the various parties must depend upon the law of nature and the law of nations. By those laws only can the rights of the respec- tive parties be ascertained, because the municipal laws of each are disregarded by the other out of their jurisdiction. We must, therefore, have re- course to those general and immutable laws which God himself has impressed upon humanity, and which prevail all over the world, and which are obligatory every where and upon all persons. Thi are the laws of nature and nations, which are found in the works of various jurists and writers upon the rights and obligations of nations and societies of people in different ages of the world. By these laws, let us fora moment or two examine what i- the rights of Texas in relation to the contem- plated connection with the United States. Texas was formerly part of Mexico; she threw off the Mexican yoke, and formed a government ol her own, and she dates the period of her birth as a nation beyond the time, of half a generation. She became a free sovereign and independent na- tion by her bravery and heroism on the plains of St. Jacinto, and has maintained that sovereignty and independence from that period up to the present time. She has been acknowledged sovereign and independent by the leading powers of Europe; and also by the Government of this country. Now the law of nature and nations declare that Texas it free, sovereign and independent. Rutherford’s Law of Nature, page 434, is explicit upon this point. Puffendorff’s Law of Nature and Nations, § 4, is equally so. And the reader will see in Vat- tel’s Law of Nations, page 2, the same principles laid down. Indeed, all the jurists, who have writ ten upon international Jaw, declare that where 2 people proclaim themselves free, and are able te support and maintain their declaration, they are free. Nay, they go much further. Vattel, in his Law of Nations, page 4, says that a government is amoral person, subject to the privileges, duties, and responsibilities of natural persons; and with him agrees Rutherford, in his Law of Nature, page 482. They may take all measures to promote their interest and happiness to the same extent as a natural person; so they do not interfere with the rights of other nations. (Vattel’s Law of Nations, page 12; Ruthertord’s Law of Nature, page 483; Puffendorfl’s Law of Nature and Nations.) Now, then, if this be the condition of Texas; if she be « free, sovereign, and independent nation, then she isa free, moral person, with liberty to act as she pleases, so that she does not interfere with the rights of other nations. She has a perfect right to enter into any com- pact or engagement with any other nation her in- terest or her well being and happiness dictate to her. United States, or she may seck their protection and submit to that government; or she may remain as she now is, free, sovereign, and independent.— Being a free moral person, she may act as she pleases, so she does not violate the rights of other nations. (Vattel’s Law of Nations, page 33; Ruth- erford’s Law of Nature, page 484; Kent's Commen- taries, vol. 1, page 25, and page 12—14 ) If Texas be a free, sovereign, and indepen- dent State, having a right to make such compacts and engagements with other nations as her interest or happiness dictates, then it becomes necessary to inquire what will be the effect of annexing herseli to this country, as it regards the rights of Mexico and the United States? We believe that all jurists, and those acquainted with the law of nature and nations will agree, that Mexico has no right to de- clare war against the United States for receiving ‘Texas into the Union; because, as we have shown, Texas has a perfect right to enter into the connec” tion. Itfollows, of course, there cannot be an Op. posite or contrary right. There cannot be two rights, antagonistic to each other, existing at the same time. One would destroy the other. The collision would destroy them. If Texas has a right to annex herself to this country, then it follows as a natural consequence, that Mexico has no right to declare war against us for receiving her. And hence, is blown to the winds her blustering thrent, that she would visit us with hostilities if we receiv. ed into the Union the territory of Texas. Having thus shown that Mexico has no ground of complaint against us for incorporating Texas into our government, we will proceed in the next place to inquire, what are the rights of Great Britain by the law of nature and nations, as involved or con- nected with the contemplated annexation. By a rule, that applies with as much force in mathematics, as in law, politics and morals, it is held the incident follows the principal, as much as the shadow follows the substance. If Mexico has no right to declare war against vs, on account of receiving Texas into the Union, then it follows, as p Receusary gonsequence, that Creat Britain has can have no greater right or power over the subject than the principal. The threat of a war with America for this cause, if ever any has been made, is idle and entirely groundless, as it respects any right in Great Britain, growing out of this connec- tion by the law of nature and nations. We have thus removed these two supposed ob- Jections to the union of the two goveraments, that we see frequently bandied about in our journals. | ‘The truth is, the question is free from any difficulty whatever. Neither Mexico nor Great Britain has any right whatever to interfere in the case. We shall receive Texas into the Union, or not, as we without the least fear or apprehension of violating Sineutar Ive: or THe Heraip.—Perhaps | one of the best evidences of the popularity and ex- | tended circulation of the Herald, and its great in- | fluence on the public mind, 1s that afforded by the | constant effort of its rivals—those rivals who loiter in ils rear in allacts ot enterprise—to detract from its statements—impugn its accuracy—and impute every thing to its influence and power. If what allits ene- miles say be true—to leave out ofthe case altogether what its friends choose to say in the matter, then the New York Herald 1s indeed the Napoleon amongst newspapers, and must surpass any at pre- sent published on the face of the globe. Only reac the following funny paragraphs whicn we cut from the papers of yesterday morning. First comes the Courier §& Enquirer. (From the Courier & Enquirer.) Texas ann a Wak Panic amona THe Broxens.—The knowing enes among the Brokers, created quite a wer nic in Wall street yesterday, and stocks fell as rapidly as if the Southern Mail had brought from Washington a de- claration of war against the whole civilized world.

The last number contains a paragraph headed “The First Burst,” in relation to the failure of a cotton specuiator in that city. It is stated that some of the Georgia Banks have been se- verely injured by the failure, but we put no more confi Aence in this report thon we do in two-thirds of the other statements which originally appear in that sheet. [From the New York Sun) We have frequently, in the discharge of our duty to the public, caationed the community against placing any re- liance in the statements of the Herall—no matter what the subject may he ; Cotton, Stocks, Banks, or Politics, it is impossible, under his Black Mail System, ever t rive utthe truth. Let us, for example, suppose a case : A speculator in Cotton, Stocks, &c. &e,, Ww: down, or run up & particular article, having’ ei ese, Or running short ; he has only to go to Bernett and arrange with him, and he will manage to give the color ing to it that suits the interest of his employer. It i that account, one of the most dangerous papers in exis- tence, for merchante and others, at a distance, to rely up s statements in relation to Commerce, Banks, or any ct of specnlation. He is perfectly indifferent to the tof his falsehoods, if he can achi the immediate object he has in view—he don’t care a straw what Bank, or what innocent Stockholder may be injured, so that his Black Mail is secured He has a great many of these irons now in the fire,and we shall, if occasion requires, put the public on its guard in relation to them. It would appear from these paragraphs that the recent speculations im cotton—the rise of prices and the fall—that the recent panic and the rise and fall in the price of stocks—that almost every thing that takes place in the world, is somehow or other pro- duced through the agency of the statements pub- lished in the Herald. Ot course all these state- ments, according to the same authorities, are “ false,” “lying,” and created by what these phi- losophers call “ the black mail system.” Well, this 1s a funny werld, and our contemporaries are a fanny set of fellows. Here we have been for the last two or three months beating them almost every other day, in every thing relating to foreign and domestic news. We have publish- ed again and again, a day ahead of them, the most important intelligence accompanied by free and independent comments. And when the public got the newsand the facts and the proper views trom the Herald, they cf course acted accordingly, on which our disappointed contemporaries fturn round and cry out against our efforts—attack our aystem, and depreciate us as much as they can.— But the public know the cause of all this ridiculous folly and jealousy. The only “black mail” that we receive, we receive openly, before the world Probabty there is nota bank in the world on which we do not levy “ black mail” to the extent of seven oreight dollarsa year. But they get good value within the past two months by its erroneou From Hayti.—By the Sagadahock, Capt. Simp- son, we have received later advices from Cape Haytien. To Capt. S. we give thanks. The political affairs of the island were in a very unsettled state. Considerable difficulty appeared to exist between the civil and military authorities Under the new constitution, the civic authorities have power in all matters pertaining to local affairs, who are chosen by the people. At the Cape there is a regular constituted municipality, witn a police, &c., which is one of the reforms of the present go- vernment, und which, under the administration of Boyer, was exercised exclusively by the military ‘The mititary power, becoming thus abridged, com- plain that the civic power is weak and inefficient, and that while they have all the duty to perform, and have not yet received their pay, the civic offi- cers, and all the officers attached to the custom house, are regularly paid. A few days before the 8. left, the flag over the Mayor's office had been torn down, and threaten- ing placards had been posted on the Mayor’s oftice and in different parts of the city, and other acts of violence had taken place ; but all the well-disposed part of the community were in fear of a revolution. ‘There were rumors in the city of serious disaffec- tions, from the same cause, in different parts of the Island. Vicksburg. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Viexssuro, 2d March, 1844. Dear Sin— Again have we borne, in sad and solemn proces- sion, to his final resting place on earth, another victim to the bloody and barbarous code of honor. John A. Ryan, editor of the Sentinel, was killed on Thursday mormng in a duel, by the fourth shot of his antagonist, Mr. R. E, Hammett, the editor of the Whig. My heart is wrung with anguish and my soul is chilled with horror, at the vivid and startling recollection of this lamentable and thril- ling tragedy. True it is, that thia expression of sorrow will not avail to call back to life the inani mate form of my friend, nor restore him to the joyous embrace of the many who loved and ad- mired him; yet the feelings of a full heart cannot be repressed while the hand records his mournful fate The Whig of Tuesday morning came out with a sharp personal attack on Mr. Ryan; on the evening of that day, he despatched a note to Mr. Hammett demanding’ a retraction of the personalities, and containing some assertions highly ofleusive to the latter. Mr. Hammett’s reply to this note was a challenge, and the parties met in Louisiana on sea morning, and fought with pistols at ten 3; the result was as above stated. Mr. Ryan fell mortaliy wounded at the fourth fire, and ‘ex- pired about an hour afterwards. The cause of offence must have been grievous indeed, when Mr. Hammett, though slightly wounded by the first and second, (and some say) the third fire, in reply to the usual question after each fire, did notdectare himself satisfied. From the house of Mr. Robbins, the remains of my unfortunate, and lamented friend were con- veyed to the grave this morning, followed by a nu merous and sorrowing train of citizens of Vicks- burg and adjoining places. Twelve pall bearers rode by the side of the hearse, then followed the carriages containing the clergy, and the female friends of the deceased, and after these, a long pro cession of citizens on horseback. The Rey. No: man A. Wood, an eloquent minister of the Baptist Church, perforined the services at the grave, and de livered an address well suited to the solemn occa sion. His thoughts and feelings were such as + scene like this only could draw from the eloquent soul of a friend, for such he was to the deceased The grave was opened in the new cemetery, and Ryan sleeps side by side with the great apostle of democracy, the lamented Hagan. Untortunate victim to a barbarous and revolting custom! how shall J speak in terms of just praise of the virtues of your manly and noble heart? What mildness, what kindness, what sympathy and ten- derness of feeling adorned your private life, and won the esteem of a'l who knew you! What can- dor, frankness and integrity distinguished your public career, and fitted you fora life of honor and usefulness! Who shall convey to your friends in « listant land, the news of your sad and untimely fate? Who shall support your aged parents bantl ing beneath the weight of this grievous affliction, or soothe their care worn and disconsolate hearts? Will it dry youraged mother’stears, or assuage her anguish, to learn that you died while obeying the codes of honor! or that incompliance with its re- lentless requisitions, you are cut off in the midst of iife, in the enjoyment of health, and all the hopes of Vigorous, manhood? Vain, vain regrets; these tears that moisten the earth, that hides you for ever from my view, can- not recall that gilt which God alone can give and which presumptuous man has dared to take away. Mapame Unneck Heinnene’s Concert.—This cantatrice, who has recently arrived from Stock- holm, 1s about to exhibit the powers of her voice, and her musical ability, at a concert, on Thursday forit. Nor is there a cotton speculator, nor a stock . | speculator, nor any man of any note in any party | are informed that she is young, beautiful, and high- throughout the country that does not pay us black mail to the same extent, $7 25 per annum for the daily and $3 124 fer the Weekly!Herald. In addition to that, if they want any particular publication in the way of an advertisement, they must give an ad- ditional dose of “black mail’ at the rate of fifty cents per square in our advertising columns. In short, any one coming into our office and see- ing the number of papers sold and advertisertents received, and the business transacted there openly by our clerks, will see that we receive every week between two and three thousand dollars in “black mail,” as they call it. And it is this system of “black mail”—giving value for value fairly and honestly—which enables us to pay $300, $400 or $500 for a single express, and sometimes $100 for asingle piece of news, and thus publish it ahead of all the papers in the country. Im fact, such is the rivalry and jealousy of our cotemporaries, that if we were simply to announce, quoting from the al- manac, that the sun rises at a certain hour on a par- ticular day, they would immediately jump up in every quarter, and call out ‘* What a falsehood!

James Loveniin examined for the defence.—The only trouble was this,the man refused to do unnecessary work. the ship was going through the water at the rate of 7 or S knots an hour; and they refused to go over the side, thc work zot being necessary , it was apart of the working up system ; the ship was off the Florida Capes, and thes: was a strong eddy current; and it was dangerous to go over the sides; they were willing to go over in fair weather if ordered Cross evamined.— Commanded the barque Asia for six months; his mate’s name was Patrick Connor ; does not know where Connor is now; the vessel belonged to Mr Pigg, of Plymouth, in England; vever commanded a shiy into the United States; was mate of the ship Halifax ; war also mate of the schooner Sea Flower; cannot tell how ii happens that he is now before the mast; had a great many breakdowns ; is a little fond of the bottle; drank a glass o! vorter after dinner; perhaps he drank between twenty or thirty ; perhaps but two ; swears he ouly drank three ulasses of grog to-day, besides the beer ; thinks he is £0 berer now than when hi say what hour it was wh he is soberer now than he ing ; was sober when he went to bed; but drank in the morning before he got out of bed; did not hear the given tothe men, nor hear them’refuse to obey it wess Was also put in ‘rons ; does not know the cause mate called him to him and put him in irons without say up this morning ; cannot went to bed ; is sure that when he got up this morn: fot rider ingwhy he did so previous to his being put in irons; he did uot refuse to do bis duty ; has sued the Captain for talse imprisonment and assau!t and battery. Peren Gracan—Has been to sea since 1626, the day on which the prisoners were put in irons the ship was un- der reef topsail ; she was going through the water at the rate of seven or eight knots an hour ; it was dangerous to go over the side of the ship at the time; when we went alt it was to tell the Captain we could not spare the men ; if he took them we would be short-handed. Cross-ezamined — Never heard the men refuse to do duty ; Joes not know why Loughlin was put in irons. Hankness recalled—The reason Loughlin was put in irons was, because he refused todo his duty ; the ship was going at the rate of four knots through the water at he time the men refused to do their duty. Farventok Smitn—Ils second mate ot the ship Shake- speare; was present when the men refused to go over the de of the ship ; the weather was then fair ; there was no anger to be apprehended from their going over ; was pre: sent when Loughlin was put in irons ; does not know why he was put inirons ; did not hear him say ony thing to the mate. His Honor eaid, that in refusing to obey the Captain’s orders ; they were clearly guilty of a violation of the act, and would order tehm to give bail in $100 each, in default of which they were committed.

Case acknowledged his indebtedness to Bolen, and confessed judgment for the amount, and execution was issued. Case’s character was good. Owen B. Case called—He had known the accused for 1 years; was aclerk in his store; called on Bolen to bor- row mouey for Case to take up his notes; at the time of the sale, by virtue of the judgment, Case had about $5000 worth of goods on his premises; his character was good; goods were purchased by Case, and afterwards sent to auction to be disposed of: Case had 4 or $5000 worth of goods in one of his stores in Chatham street, and about 7 or $8000 worth at his other store im Pearl street; the goods purchased of the Messrs, Lee were seld out of the store of Case by retail, and not sent to auction. ‘ D Oarman called—He had known Case, abont 10 years; had business transactions with him and loaned him money; Case had previously failed in business, about the year 1833; heard about that time that Case’s character was bad.

Betts, John Jewitt, J. A. Spillett, R. E. Pur- Ay, J. Humphreys, J. Conner, and Joseph Gilbert, all re- spectable merchants, testified that the character of Case, by general reputation, waa bad.

As the season advances, and travel in- creases, the different lines are adopting plans to advance thear own particular interest. There has lately been some trouble between the Norwich and Worcester Railroad Company and the owners of the line of boats on that route. The boats are allowed so inuch for passengers, ind the amount they now demand per head will only leave the road about fifty cents per passenger, fer trans- porting one hundred and four miles. ‘The fare through trom this city to Boston, on all the routes, must be on a par, or the lowest will monopolise the travel. The nume- rous modes of conveyance in that direction leaves the spirit of competition an opportunity to operate. ‘The Nor- wich route has all along been considered an unfortunate move on the part of the projectors The New Haven route is much more direct ; the Stonington route is shorter, Phe Norwich road divides these two routes, without giv- ing an additional advantage either in distance or price. To give the boats on that route a living profit, the road must reduce the price of passage enoimonsly, and the iwast reduction ruins the prospect of reliet from its heavy indebtedness. ‘The Long Island.
