“NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, April 18. 1844. Extraordinary Balloon Express from Boston. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ACADIA. Twenty Days Later from Europe. We beg leave to assure the public, that we do not mean to have any Batoon Express from Boston, on the arrival of the Acadia steamer, which is now out fourteen days, and maybe expected every hour, with important news, full twenty days later. We leave this enterprise entirely to our cotemporary of the New York Sun, who will issue an Extra immediately on the arrival of his balloon, ‘and although he will forget to stick in the prices of cot- ton, he will take care to stick it into the rascally news boys: Notice to Revorrers.—Will our reporters at Washington, write only on one side of their paper? Shall Texas be admitted into the Union? The annexation of Texas to the United States has at once become an important question in the legislative body of the Union, and one of absorbing interest to the whole American people. And it is a question deserving the most cool and deliberate examination, and a clear and unbiased judgment on the merits of the contemplated annexation. We must now decide upon it in thirty days. The time is propitious. By the concentration of circam- stances and events, in the order and dispensation of divine providence, the incorporation of that rich and beautiful country with our own can im- mediately and without difficulty take eflect.

So it is with nations. There is always a proper time for action, which, if neglect- ed, the opportunity may be forever lost. We must now decide upon the propriety and expediency of the annexation, or the opportunity will be gone forever. We will proceed to offer some reasons why we suppose this event ought to take place, and will answer the several objections we have noticed in the journals and newspapers opposed to it. The first great reason for the annexation of Texas to the United States is this: The people of ‘Texas are in fact Americans ; they are “bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.” They are our fa- thers, brothers, sisters, and relations. They left us to settle a new country. They are emigrants from the Western and Southern States. Having been born and bred in the United States—being in truth our own people, though living in another country adjoining us, they wish again to become part of the American family. They wish aguin to unite with their mother country, and live under the gov- ernment of her free institutions and laws. We should not consult their interest or our own, if we rejected their prayer for admission. We would loose the opportunity of gaining a beautitul and fertile country, a great deal larger than many of the Kingdoms of Europe and equal in extent to five of the large class of States in the Union; and we should also lose the acquisition of a population remarkable for their activity and bold, undaunted perseverance in all the dangers and vicissitudes of life. It would be a loss we could never supply. The next reason we shall give why Texas ought to become one of the United States, is this—Texas was in reality part of the United States. It is well known to the people of the present dav, that the claim of the United States to her southwestern In the tenth and last place, the Union would | done what 1—because they have committed the au- have a salutary moral and political effect and in-| dacious crime of selecting their own officers!

If this be done, we have no fears for the result. The advantages of the contemplated Union are so perceptible, that it requires the presence of a biased or prejudiced mind to object and oppose it. We will, in the second division of this subject, New Move or Ratsine tHE Winp.—A very in- genious mode of raising the wind, practiced by a jeweller who keeps a small store in the upper part of the city, has just come to our knowledge.

It would allay the fears and apprehensions of the people of Texas, to have a permanentand settled system of Government, such as would result from a union with us.

And we have shown there are no coustitutional er legal objections to the In the fifth place, our commerce and manufac- | union of Texas with us.

The manufacturers of the north would find an opening here for their goods and wares, unfettered by fo- reign restraints. And the agriculturists would find a market in their own country. The advantages of this opening to every species of industry would soon be felt by all our people, independent of the great inducement it woald offer to the adventurous emigrant. In the sixth place, the union would prevent and remove the inconveniences of a troublesome. neigh- bor. We have had some experience of this incon- venience, on our northern boundary—recent events have been such as not to induce us to wish a repe- tition of them. Ifit be true that this power 1s in danger of passing under the dominion of Great Britain, then we are called upon by the most pow- erful appeal of self interest, to arrest the impend- ing evil, by uniting Texas with us. In the seventh place, the contemplated union would have a good influence upon the evils of slavery. Texas is now a slave market, by circui- tous importations through the United States; but upon her becoming an integral part of the Union, importations of slaves would cease. The evils of slavery could not be augmented by new importa- tions. And this would be a gain from her present condition in favor of humanity, and would open an outlet to the slaves of the Southern States, bene- ficial both to the slave and the slaveholder. In the eighth place, a strong and powerful reason for the union exists from the character and condi- tion of the people of Texas. We have said they were bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. They are, indeed, branches of our families—they are the sons and brothers of American freemen The same Anglo-Saxon blood flows through their veins, and they have the same love for the free institu- tions of democracy. They were born under their influence, and they live now in a republic modelled after our own. The union willimmediately assimi- late them to ourselves; the incorporation will amount to a complete amalgamation, by the force of moral and political affinities. ‘the case would be very different if the people were of a different ori- gin—if they were French, Spaniards, Portuguese, or the subjects of some other foreign nation. The propriety and expediency of the union in such case might be doubted. A harmonious moral and po- litical feeling and action could not be expected. American people. Custom Hovsk Removais.—Our cotemporary, the Courter, was very savage yesterday at any person or any senator in Congress, who dares un- dertake to confirm the nomination of Charles G. Ferris, in the place of Mr. Curtis. We trust, how- ever, that the United States Senate will regard the matter in a more sensible light. If they act as po- liticians and as wise men, they will at once see the propriety of confirming Mr. Ferris, and putting Mr. Curtis hors de combat. Mr. Ferris is one of the most excellent and worthy men in all respects, of all who have filled this office for years past. He is a man of property—of integrity, which is still better—and by no means of that speculating class, who have filled the Custom House for sixteen years past. Re-tssve or tHe ‘ Buack Mar Currency.”— We understand that Beach, the celebrated financier aod hoax-maker, is very rapidly re-issuing the Plainfield money ona plan by which he screws from the hard-working portion of the public a large slice of their earnings, which may be really de- nominated “black mail.” His plan is’ this—he shaves notes for small amounts to mechanics and master mechanics and others about town at a pretty liberal discount, which he makes them take in Plainfield money. But the mechanics and others finding that currency not particularly ‘good to go,” have to go back to Beach with it and get it shaved a second time! From this double system of shaving, it will be seen that he secures on the issue of a few thousand as much as 20 or 30 per cent ina few months. This may be denominated the true black mail system—this money the “black mail cur- rency,”’ and Beach the “black mail financ; _ Tar Giose anp Texas.—The Washington Globe comes out with a bold and fearless article in favor of the annexation of Texas. This indicates that the democratic party in Congress are going for Texas. Indeed, from the position which Mr. Cal- honn has taken, there is litde doubt that he will corner both parties, and compel them to show their hands in a way little dreamed of. Things begin to opea up. What does the Evening Post, as the organ of the democratic party, think of its position now?

Received since September Ist. se eee «$6,445,043 The bill to authorize the Utica and Schenectady Rail Road to carry freight, was taken up in the Lower House ofthe Assembly on the 16th instant. The bill authorizes the railroad to carry freight, and requires returns to be made to the commissioners of the canal fand, and to pay to the canal commissioners the same tolls per mile, as would have been paid if the articles had been transported on the Erie Canal. Several sections were proposed, among which was one requiring all the railroads between Albany and Bufialo to make returns in the same manner as the Utica and Schenectady, subject to the same regula. lations, and to pay the same tolls. Itcontained one pro- viso, thatthe said roads should pay no tolls on property trensported on them, except it passed on the Utica and Schenectady road; and another, that no tolls should be collected on certain articles the products of this State— such as fresh meats, poultry, butter, vegetables, &c., go- ing towards tide water, during the suspension of naviga tion on the canal. This bill will undoubtedly become a law before the present session of the Legislature closes. It meets with general favor in both Houses, Both branches of the Pennsylvania Legislature have agreed to adjourn sine die on the 29th inat. We have se- tions doubts that anything whatever relating te the State debt will be done, Not one of thy bills before either house ment. We are not disappointed with this result ; after ha ing seen propositions made, regarding the public credi- tors,that would have disgraced any body pretending to the least particie of honesty, we are not surprised at the course adopted. An adjourned meeting of capitelists was held at Bas- ton on the 10th instant, to carry ont the resolutions proposed at a previous meeting, in favor of constructing a railroad from New York to New Haven. A committee of six were appointed to carry into effect the object of this meeting. It was resolved to apply to the Legislature of Connecticut for on act of incorporation in May next, for the purpose of uniting the Hartford and New Haven Rail. road with the Harlem, at White Plains, passing through Danbury, thus connecting the whole line of railroads from the North to the South. There is no doubt but that in the course.ot a year or two this connecting link will be built and an inland route to Boston secured. Whenthe capitalists of the East take hold of any great work, they are sure to push it through. ‘The times are in favor of these works of public improvement. Railroads are the favorite stocks of the day. Their prospective valne does not depend upon so many contingencies as Bank, Insurance or Manufacturing stocks. As the country in which they are situated grows, the more valuable they become, They not only are improved by the advance- ment of business, but they are the direct cause of the in- crease of trade, The whole of New England is filled with rail roads ; there is not on e ont of the six but has one or more, except Vermont, and she will not be long with. out one running through (ho whole length of her rich vale ley. Ofthe two hundred and fifty-six miles between New York and Boston, about two hundred will be covered with rond track in leas than a year, leaving only forty-six to be covered at some future time, The people of New England have met us more than half way.
