There cannot be a doubt that the slave
holders and ave-lruders especially, Of the
southern states, have for long time had
an eye upon the rich and fertile country
of Texas, not coycting so much the value
of IL; lands as lis most favorable location
for great slave market: favorable alike
for its situation with regard to the slave
states of the United States, as for the adj
vantages it possesses for Introducing slaves
from Africa, the fountain head of the
slave trade. How, upon any other pre-
sumption, can we account for the sympa-
thy of the southern states for Texas, and
the intense anxiety which the shareholders
manifest for the independence OF the terri
tory, or for its annexation TO the United
States? They make no secret of this
interest and anxiety. They have urged
the purchase of Texas, with view as half
an eve may discover, of increasing the
dimensions of the sayeholding territory
and more effectually perpetuating slavery
in the United States. We need not be
surprised il such purchase continues to

that negotiations were on foot between our
government and Mexico; but there may
have been no foundation for it, At this
very moment we are told that an agent
from Mexico is on his way to Washington
TO negotiate for the sale of Texas. Some
years ago, Mr. Benton, of Missouri, openly
declared that the United States government
should obtain the territory in question for
tie purpose of creating five or six more

Sri observe by an article in recent
number of your paper, that it is in contem-
plation to have Il meeting, in May next, Of
the friends of abolition in Washington Co.
for the purpose of forming a County Anti
Slavery Society and that those favorable
TO such meeting are requested to send
their names, &c.
am decidedly in favor of every lawful
and constitutional measure that can be
taken to effect so desirable an object as the
abolition Of slavery; and | can see no pos
sibe objection that can be raised against
meeting for the formation Of County So
,icty, except by those who are afraid of
" Free Discussion Whenever am afraid

and not till then. 1t is no time to he drow-
sy when efforts are making to smother the

made sensible of late, that much good might

late the several copies of "lluman Rights,
"Liberator," and Emancipation" which
you gave me, and am confident they have

The people in this vicinity with but one

And am Of the opinion that nothing is

1t is urged by the arstocracy against

employment, where by speculation aud
sporting he acquired Il fortune. Hence
his uniriendlnIess to "poor" men, aud his
public declaration, thai 'alI Persons doing

break" Mr. VAN buren, too, though

"MoNsTRoUs." The Editor Of the Bos-
ton Advocate takes us to task for calling
the late convention at which Mr. Webster
was re-nominnted for the Presidency, Il
" Massachusetts .4ntimaSonic State Conren-
ton" Our account of that convention WIS
copied from the Independent Chronicle &
Boston Patriot, edited by Nathan Hale, Esq
That paper sustains a reputation for truth
and candor not exceeded, we believe, by
any political journal Of that city. We found
in that paper the speech of Mr. Ebenezer
Clough, introduced by the remark that it
was " delivered at he .4ntimaSonic Conren-
ton or Wednesaey evening last, 10 a large
and .tW meeting Of .4ntimdSOnS from eueIy
pert Of the State, held al the State House in
this city, and trhich ,cQS received tcih lniuer-
sal applause" We supposed that such a
meeting might be styled Il Massachusetts
Antimasonic State Convention. Perhaps
we We're too fast. If there had been
beyy Of custom-house officers and such like
antimasons present, making up round
majority Of the meeting, everything about
the convention, would doubtless have been
purely aniimasonic, according to the Boston
standard.
