It irae be said that we are une just to the great mase of the American people, if ‘we impute to them the guilt of measures which they do not approve, and of a treaty they will not ratuy. ‘Ihe weight of political authority in the Union is altogether opposed to annexation.-~— General Jackson and Mr. Webster, Mr. Clay and .Mr. Vaa Buren, have recorded their opinions against it; the Legislatures ef Ken- tucky, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maine, have rejecied resolutions in favor of it; and all parties admit that the Senate willrefuse to ratify thiscom- i pact. Nevertheless, in spite of these circumstan- ces, We rise from the perusal even of the adverse - opinions of the principal American statesmen with a very low estimate of their political integrity. The annexation of Texas is the project of one of the candidates for the Presidency—the other candi- dates oppose the measure, which, if carried, must be fatal to their own pretensions. In either party itis the meanest personal motive which is upper- most, not the true aad lofty principle of political duty and prudence. ‘To this remark Mr. Clay 1s indeed less obnoxious than Mr, Van Buren: he ob- jects to the enlargement of the territory of the | Union; and he deprecates the effects of such an enlargement on the internal parties now existing in the States; but his main argument, and Mr. Van Buren puts forward no other, is the inexpediency of consummating this act of spoliation at the pre- gent time, betore the independence of Jexas has been acknowledged by Mexico, since the inevita- ble and immediate consequence of such an act must be war between Mexico and the United States. Itis hardly possible to put so important a question on so low a ground; or to attempt to con- ceal an act of rapine behiad se wretched a subterfuge. The whole Texan insurrection is | acknowledged in these very papers to be of American ongin—the contest has been car- | ried on by American citizens. {It is what they | call oa the other side of the Atlantic a private | war, theugh in the rest of the world private wars are mere commonly designated as piratical expeditions. This private war became a war of independence, und the new State was recognized by certain foreign powers ; but as far as Mexico 1s concerned, it 1s still a rebellion, and a rebellion i she means, it she can, to suppress. ‘Lhe American ! statesmen who oppose the iumediate annexation say—'* You are too husty ; this private war is de- ing your business, if you let it alone; we have only to wait ull Yexus 13 independent of Mexico, and she is ours; but God forbid we shouid break ine our neighoor’s house to steal his chattels, | when those very chattels are struggling to throw themseives out of his possession into our hands.” By simular reasoning, not ill adapted to the circum- stances of the parties, Mr. Washington Jones may complain if Mr. Jetterson Smith takes the slave Pompey from his pluatation; but it Pompey es- capes, With a little kind assistance, and having recovered his freedom, constiuutes himself the slave of Mr. Jefferson Smith, then Mr. Wash- | ington Jones has no redregs, We on our *ide, are very willing to recognize Pompey as a free man, but we cannot 90 easily recognize the right et eompey, te transfer himself from one mas er to another, or of the master to bold the slave so transferred. The Message of the President re- quires no elucidation trom us, and its length pre- vents us from examining the countless mis-state- ments of fact and perversions of reasoning which it contains. The threadbare and abandoned pre- text that the United States have a right to reclaim one except the King of Ashantee, Slavery is for 8 4 the first time defined tobe “a political featiation. ae She caring Bacglane «tae roan Evety and the bar densely filled with the beauty of the | Avram Goetze— he was 4 cloth mercbant—1 have seen not an eney and & misery; a sale of ‘beingaas im- ee ‘ts peepee Be ibe! ecleak hie ibbanee. island, enclosing in their midst the gentlemen of [ri sig man here, in @ pawabroker’s shop in Walliam elo wnerit nay Nae wrcteuadneanl invariably exclaims ‘Mine Got, vot vill pecome | the press, counsel and jurors. ‘The testimony | JouwP.

Gazette, July 1. & A Dirricunr Feat.—The Louisville Courier of a late date says:—‘* We neglected to chronicle the fact, that on Thursday last, the steamer New World come over the falls, throngh the Indian Chute—a feat never be. fore performed at this stage of water, andonly ence before (by the Uncle Sam, many years since,) ut any stsge ot Water. The channel in the Indian Chute is very narrow and the current of lightning speed ; consequently the feat was not only a difficult, but an extremely hazardous one, for had she swerved in the Jeast, or steered badly, 6h would have immediately been dashed inst the rocks. She was nearly all day coming over (about one mile) and for hours oppeared perfectly stationary, battling power- fully, the mighty current.” G ral Sessions.

At present they must be extended to include Texas, because (the reason is singular) ‘the United States are already almost surrounded by the possessions of European Powers, and Texas would complete the circle.” We were not aware that any European Power except England had any possessions con- tiguous to the territory of the Union, and those ot England are exclusively on the northern frontier and the eastern coast; but if it were so, every State which has land frontiers at all must be surrounded by the possessions of other pewers, and Mr. Tyler forgets that when. he has carried his frontier to the utmost confines of the Texan republic, he will still be “surrounded,” not, indeed, by European powers, but by the very State to which Texas herself belonged; and that ing my money at my father’s house beiore | got a family around it ; 1 know RERUTTING TESTIMONY. ape tele ae pet George wes in the habit of Keeping his money st my | Distrist Attorney Cisnx was calted and sworn—I met Winthrop and wife, vs. Justice D.
