THE NEW YORK HERALD. ——— Vol. X., No, 250—Whole No. 3850. Se Another Letter from the Old Man of the Hermitage—A Settler for the Opponents of Annexation, Hermitage, August 28, 1844. Deaz Str—I am in possession of your uote of the 27th inst.,and although greatly enfeebled by the excessive warm weather of this month, #! en- deavor to reply to it, The more L have reflected on the policy of an- nexing Texas to the United States, the more deci- ded is my convictien, that since the establishment of the Federal Constitution, no question has arisen of so great importance to the welfare and safety of the people of the United States. It seems to me that in this instance, as im the revolution and our last war with Great Britain, kind Providence still interposes to batp on our effortsin the cause of selt- government, and to give us thenecessary guaranty tor our independence. és Under the treaty of 1803, by which Mr. Jefferson obtained Louisiane from France, the people of that country acquired the right to incorporation in our Union as ample and complete as that by the original States and their territories, and all the corresponding rights of citizenship and protection. In the treaty, therefore, of 1819, by which the peo- pie of Louisiana, west of the Sabine, were depri- ved of the guarantees of the treaty of 1803, a seri- ous question arises whether this government. can dismember its territory and disfranchise i's citizens without their consent, and, in the case of Texas, without the consent of France. But leaving out of view this solema question, and looking on!y at the consequences which have followed the treaty of 1819, it is wonderful that the course of events is such as to enable us to repair the errors of that tea at the same time that we avoid doing wron 2 other powers, either on this or the continent o! urope. The people of Texas have maintained their sepa- rate existence, and after years ot battle and toil, have achieved their freedom and independence ; and without a stain on their character, without violating obligations with Mexico or other foreign powers, with mo restraint on their sovereignty other than that which has been impoeed by their God, they again come back to us, and tell us that although the guarantees of the treaty of 1803 have been withdrawn from them, they are yet willing to embrace them. Aad the question is, what shall we say to them in reply % i But before answering this question, let us see if Mexico has any right to the territory of Texas, or any cause for resisting the extension to the citizens of Texus of the guarantees of citizeuship as intend- ed in the treaty of 1803. When did Mexico ac- quire any title to the territory of Texas? The title of France was conveyed to us, and that title was then Tenogeiaea by all the civilized world as the only good one. Did we convey it to Mexico? We did not. We conveyed it to Old Spain, and she did not convey it to Mexico. Hew then, does Mexico derive her title? She pretends to none except what results from the confederation whicn was formed in 1824, und founded on revolution, in which compact ‘Texas expressly stipulated that her 8 arate sovereignty was retained. The overthrow of that confederation or compact by military force gives Mexico no title to the territory, unless she can show that she has conquered one—and it we examine the claim on the score of conquest, it is notoriously unjust. That claim was silenced by the batue of San Jacisito; after'which event the principal powers of the world recognized Texas as an independent state. There is, then, no reason for the oppesition now made by Mexico to the an- nexaulon of Texas to the United States—none founded on any just claim to the territory or the loyaity of the citizena of Texas. _ We are then brought to the unembarrassed ques- tion ; ia it right for us to possess Texas on the rea- sonable terms proposed by her? Is it a step neces- sary to our salety foc promeney.t I say it is, and as you have requested my reasons, I will briefly state them, wl That Crete is represented by Mr. Thompson, and other gentlemen of character, whe have the means of judging correctly, as possessing some of the finest 1ands in the world. In soil, clumate and productions, it is said to surpaas the Floridas, and to equal Lenisiana and Mississippi. As a portion of ourcoatedesacy, them, will it not benefic us in the same miacner+hat the States just. mentioned and the other mew States have done ? Have net these States contributed to the wealth, safety and prosperity of the other poruons of the confederacy? ddave they not furnished homes for thousands and thousands ot happy and tree people, engaged in the noble pursuit of agriculture, and have not the products of this agriculture, exchanged in our own @ad toreiga markets, given healthtul employment to var manufacturing aod navigating interesis, and to the verious mechanical arte? Uniess the mea- sure of our progperity 18 different from what which is applicanle to all otner nations, it is impossible to resist the conclusion, that it will be promoted by the annexation of Texas. The conclusion I dee selevident. But great as are the advantages of annexation in the encouragement which will reeult to our indus- trial pursuits—advantages in which all sections of the Union will participate—they are not so impor tant as the security which Texas, in a military poiat of view, offers us. It is in this aapect of the question that { shudder when I jook at the course ot the newspaper prees opposed to annexation, and read the speeches of piany public men—who, ab- sorbed in the effortto make a President, seem to care nething for the intrigues of Great Britain to defeat our true policy. We have labored many years to free the States composing our Union of the Indian population within our limits, and may be said to have just succeeded inthe accomplishment of this humane policy. These Indiansare now placed on our west- ern irontier, and in a territory favorable to their gradnai civilization ard protection, against the in- uusion of influences hostile to themand tous. At present Be, are not accessible to British influence, except on the northern boundary line. Is it not ap- parent, however, that the whole of our policy, in respect to their civilization, will be thwarted if any power acquires control over Texas? The line be- tween Texasand these Indiansextends some thou- sands of miles, and communicates with Oregon in the most direct and practicable route to the great river of that territory. Texas, therefore, in hostile bands, could feed and sustain an army that could not only act against Oregon, but at the same time act against Louisia id Arkansas, and by con- junction with the Indians, could make intoads on every western State to the lakes. An army thus employed,3 seconded by a proper organization of force on the lakes, would put the whole west in a bluze, and cause us more Lujury in blood and mo- rey in six months than years of peace could atone ‘or. The sagacious statesmen of England understand much better .han we do the force of the military considerations I am here suggesting; and hence, you will fiad that no pecuniary obligation will be deemed by them too great to prevent the annexa tion to this country. The success of our free sys- tem, its capacity to secure order, to promote the progress of the arts and sciences, and to stimulate the energies of our nature to a point far higher than any yet attained under the torms of govern- ment in the old world, is alarming tothe advocates of moaarchy. The further progress of our principles will be a demonstration which the popu- fur mind throughout the world cannot mistake, and opposition to these principles 18 therefore a neces- sary part of European policy; and it would be as short sighted tor us to take lor granted that a diffe. rent feeling willcontrol their policy, as it would be for one of our navigators to embark on the ocean without chart or needle, to aid him in weatheriny storms and preventing shipwreck. So settled do consider this antagonistic feature of monarchy and republicanism, in the present state of the world, that! could feel safe in inferring that our couree ought to be in reference to this measure of such vital national interest, by finding out what was the course of Great Britain. Her position here, as it has been generally heretofore, will be found to be directly opposite to ours. But why should I press upon you further views of the paramount importance of Texas to the United States on the score of safety? Every mind conver- sant with the operationsof war,and with the causes which give military ascendancy, must see from a glance ut ourmap, that such a geniusas Wellington’s ot Napoleon’s, sustained by naval armaments on the Guif of Mexico, and onthe lakes, and in possession of Texas, with avery small force on land, could, in one campaign, paralyze one half of our Union, de- prive us of Oregon, and produce scenes of servile insu) rection and massacre, that humanity would shudder to. describe. is no fancy sketch—no chimera of the imagination, to frighten women and children. It is the natural operation of cause and effect— inevitable and irresistible. Give Texas and Oregon to Great Britain, and she will have more territory on this continent than the United States. She willsurround us from ournorth- east corner to eur southeast corner. Leaving no outlet to us by land, we shall be literally braced in her potent grasp, and open to her invasion by sea and land, at every point of the Union. And yet we are told by leading politicians of the day, that the project of annexation mere bub- ble, blown for a political purpose, to put down one leader and to put up another; and this teo on the face of assurances that reach us every day—which NEW YORK, | ee tells us that England holds ia her hands a guaran- tee of peace to Texas, if she will only withdraw the proposition of Union with us. I am proud to see that my friends throughout the Union are treat- ing these foreign mepaces as American patriows stiould who tove their country, and are determined to stand by itin alt emergencies, without regard to party. . Let us next sec, in auswer to your third, fourth and filth inquiries, what would be the probable et- fect of the determimation of Texas to accept the guarantee of monarchial powers. A treaty of com- merce would be the first result, and the basis of this treaty would be one of reciprocal benefit, and in the exchange of the raw productions of Texas for the manutactured articles of those powers. England wouldaim at once to destroy the manu- tacturing interest of this country in competition with her; to do this, she wentd te the gainer by opening her ports tu Texas; and Texas in her tura, first anxious for the payment of her national debt, would ¢o adjust ber revenue laws as to give the greatest possible stimulus to the culture of her cot- ton and tobacco, and the development of all her agricultural resources. Thus her debt would soon be paid, and er prosperity would then-be accele- rated by the double torce of European aid and do mestic pride—unembarrassed on the one hand by high duties, upheld ongthe other by the deep-seated determinauon of the European powers to cripple the United States und scatter among tiem the seeds of discord and jealousy. Among other disadvantages resulting to us from such a treaty between England and Texas, would be the necessity to establish, on thut extensive tron- tier, such police as would prevent smuggling and entorce our revenue laws, Could this be done? Il experience answers, no—it cannot be done. Border citizens, having the same iatereste in trade, following the same pursuits, using the same inland streams for the transportation of their surplus labor, wilt not submit to the operation of unequal laws. The cotton planter on the south western boundary, within the United States, will not contribute to the enforcement of the laws, the effect ef which makes his tabor less profitable than that of nis neighbor in Texas: and what is true of cotton will be true of all other agriculvural products. We know that at present, in the United States, the force of this principle is 80 strong as to compel us to put low daties on many articles which would be otherwise heavily taxed. I know that many of our citizens suppose that the annexation of ‘lexas will be injurious because it will add to the quantity of valuable lands in the market, and may be the means of inducing the re- moval of many of our slaves to that favored region. I grant that thisis true to some extent ; but does it not increase the arguments in favor of annexation? if Texas has an advantage in cheapness of land, salubrity of climate and convenience of navigation, over our Southern States, ia it not better for the citizens of the United States to possess this advan- tage than surrender .t to the citizens of Europe ? In the hands of Great Britain this advantage will be improved, as we have seento break up ourman- ufactures, and lessen our capacity to compete with her in the supply of other markeis, aud in the car- rying trade. In other words, will not Texas, out of our Union be a more formidable competitor than she would bein it? The iron and coal re- gions of Virginia, Pennsylvunia, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, or it she .s in the Union, will fiu a market there—so will the Lowell and other cot- ton manafactures of the North Atlantic side of our Union. ‘The imense power of our inland trade, the nursery of oud seamen, and the source of so much wealth, will find employment in Texas, if she is in the Union. It she is out of the Union, British Policy may monopolise all these advantages. We are also told by some who, rofess to speak on behalf of the sugar planters in Louisiana, that Texas must not come into the Union, for, if she does, their lands are made less valuable, anu the price of su- gar willfall. Jf the tact were so, does 1t follow that an argument is thereby afforded tor the rejection of Texas? This would only prove to the vast number of the consamers of sugar that Texas ought to be added to the Union, But is it probable that the price of sugar would fall? We know that the production of Louisiana is now go limited, that the large protective duly exiended te it has, thus far, sot diminished the revenue trom this article ; and we also know, that the lands of ‘fexas could not be brought into culuvation for many years. So that the probability 1s, thateugar, iu Texas, would stand on the same tooling with Cotton and other agrieul- tural productions, far more advantageous to the United States it in the Union than eut ot it. But were it otherwise, | tee! confident that the sugar planters of Louisiana will repel the imputauon that, On account o1 & possible competitor being raised up in Texas, they are williog to see that fair country pass into the hands of England. The su- gar planter wants security for his negro property, stability for the Uni.n, end independence tor his whole country, To gain this, he will make the same sacrifice, if uecessary, that the other great interests would make. But fortunately, no sacri- flees are necessary, according to my view Of the subject. All the interests and all the sectious of our Union, instead of having sacrifices to make, will ouly have benefits to enjoy. There are many other aspects in which it can be made manitest that England will injure the United States it at wreyected. But they are toe obvious vo bring to yourjnotice. Take those already noted— take the question as it stands—the indisposition of the United States to profit by them is the most re- markable event that has occurred in history. No gation, under similar circumstances, has commit- ted such error. It thete be patriotism i the effort to increase the wealth and happiness of all classes in our society—to diffuse the blessings otf equal lawe, and a just government—if there be love in the spirit which finds in thie free land of ours the means to spread the light of the gospel, and to teach fallen man throughout the world how he may re- cover his right to civil and religious liberty—it seems tome that all this patriotismm—all this phi- {anthropy—all this religion—appeals to us in favor of the addition of Texas to our Union. _, But it has been asked, not by you, but by others, if these cogent reasons exist, why did they not in- fluence me when I was President? My answer i that at that time the people of Texas had existed aseparate sovereignty but a few months before t! close of my administration, and were then at war with Mexico, not claiming the benefits of the treaty of 1803, and not objecting to the cession of tae Territory to old Spain in 1819. The Inde- pendence of Texas was recognized the last day of my administration. I was not re- sponsible for the policy which diememoered that terrftory, and had no power to remedy the conse- quences of that dismemberment. It was my duty to be just to both Mexico and Texas, and keep the United States from becoming a party to their quar- rel. Thisduty was faithfully pertormed. No inter. ference on the of this Government was en- couraged orcountenanced. The brave Texas troops acting for themeelves, terminated at St. Jacinto their contest for liberty, and then settled their title and claim to indepe: ce. From that period to this our relations to them have been changed, and the question of the d connection with them has now ceased to be embarrassed by the de- signe or expectations of Mexico. he dismemberment of our territory in 1819, by the failure to execute the guaranty to the treaty of 1803, has but recently attracted public attention. — But it has been silently operating, and is now exer- cising agreat and momentous influence on oursys- tem of government. It has been thus with most ot the causes that have produced changes in hu- man siirlee nolomeen parhebe hardly noticed in the beginni#g—but not the less potent in the result after the lapse of time when connected with a vital principle. May we not trust that this mistake of our Statesmen in 1819, has been ordered by a wise pro- vidence, asa lesson for us never hereafter to dis- member any portion of our Territory, or permit, under any circumstances, a foreign power to ac- quire a foothold on our tree eoil. I have trees mt friend, delineated as rapidly and truly as I could, the views I take of the question of annexation, I shall prebably not be alive to wit- ness the comsummation of any of my anticipations, knowing but L have the consolation o that I have contributed what I could to guard my country egainst the danger of yielding to the policy aimed at by Great Britain. j I remain, as usual, Ba friend, ANDREW JACKSON.

This man was a servant, it adds, of General Capar, and, of course, if the General is obnoxious to the powers that be, he will be placed under arrest, kept in close solitary confinement for a week or two, and then, like M. Cordero and others, liberated with the assurance that there has been some mistake. ‘The preparations for the elections are proceeding, but the Exaltados will not voie.

Formerly the Mayor, Aldermen and Commoniulty of the city were authorised to raise money by tax; not so now ; for the law bus been chamged, and the power givento the Board of Supervisors, ‘The learned counsel will also perceive that the law de- fines the property to be assessed, and also that which is w be mpt; fixes the time when the assessors are to commence their assessment, and flso fixes a day when these powers cease. [t Likewive fixes a day on which the Board ef Assessors shell meet, to do certain specified things, and another day on which they shall meet and do certuin other speeaficd things, uud then the Supervisors are to meet, and they are authorized to do certain speci- fied things. Now these are all plain matters, ana the duties of the Assessors are plain ; they ute independent otticers, umenubie to nobody but to the Jaws of the State. The Supervisors are also an independent body, und their duties are pointed out by statute. The duty ‘of the City Comptroller isallto be found in chapter 21S of laws ot 1842, ‘The Common Council have no control over the Board of Supervisors, and the latier named Board is wholly in- dependent of the first numed body. it isthe business of the Byard of Supervisors, when they meet, to fix the rate per cent of the tax—it is not a tax for the present Julian year, 1844, but a tax tur the po- litical year, commencing with the firet moment of tae se- cond Tuesday of May, 1844, and ending with the last moment of the second’ Monday of May, 1845 The pre- sent Board ot Supervisors have nothing to do with the expenditures of the Common Council incurred prior to their coming into office. ‘The Corporation of the city and the Super- visors of the county are distinct organizations, and if suit hasto be commenced to recover the amount ef a the Supervisors of the count, not the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty. It may be asked, what is to be done with the indebted- ness of the last Common Council? We answer : pursue the same course the ensuing month of pursued by the Common Council in 1840, vi: gislature for authority to fund the floating d done when Mr. Varian was Mayor, at the time the tex act was contemplated te be altered from city to county.— ‘The journal of the Senate of 1641 will show this altera- tion, and we refer to the printed copy now in the County Clerk’s ottice for the official facts. The legislature are to convene on the first Monday of January, and the taxes are not payable until the 16th day of February, and there is, therefore, abundant time for action in this The arrears should be funded, payable in instalments of $50,000 per annum, until liquidated, to be raised hy tax. It may be urged that a large watch is required for the protection of property—if their business should be to stop he depredations in street patching extortions, we should at once admit the fact. It is the assessment depredators and the street patching extortioners that the citizens com- plain of. These are the principal offenders, and against these the whole city have to be on watch night and day. We are not disposed to find fault with the present city government—far otherwise , and are free to speak of the great reform which have been accomplished by His Hon- orthe Mayor. His praise in this, is in the mouth of every ody. Wis of particular omissions that we complain, and we make the chai distinct, and if not well founded, they can berefuted by a reference to the bills paid out of the public Santee The excuse that the expenses complained of, have been incurred KF eed Common Council, is very old, and is worn thi bare, for it has been in use by pre- vious Common Council that succeeded one of a different shade of political profession. ‘The footing of the bills of monthly payments are the test. Show the prices paid, and the people will discrimi- nate. The present Common Council were elected to reduce the taxes, and public expectation that they would do this work, is now very high—the higher it has been J, the greater the distance it will have to fall, unless they accomplish the labor they were expressly employed to perform. We were glad to see that Mayor Harper stopped thrusting a veto intoa in the public Ninth Avenue proceeding. That is ANTLASSESSMENT. rent which the Cc chest in the famous the way to reduce the tax. Tur Rev. C. T. Torrey.—ArrempT To Break Prison.—An attempt was made on Friday last by Rev. C. T.fTorrey to escape from tho Baltimore jail.

This is indeed deeply mteresting 1° telligence, and may be supposed to Lave Created great ex- citement an Texas. itis, however, butarumor. Many intelligent gentiemen wath whom we have conversed ex- press the opinion that this report is at least premature.— Although such u force may be on the march tor taut base of the iuture operations of Mexico against Texas, we are constraimed duubtal they yet have an orgupized lorce of ten thousand men ready to cross the frouuer. ‘Our latest dates trom Galveston were to 1th ult.
