vast teTrnofy OF texas, an enterprise
loudly demanded by the welfare of the
West, and which could not fail TO exercise
an important and favorable influence upon
the future destinies Of the South, bv in
creasing the votes Of the sIaveholding
States IN the y. S. Senate"
From the Nashville Banner.
The Mexicans, stepped to the lips in
poverty, threatened with powerful inva-
sion by the mother country, will part with
this property or any thing else for the
sake of money. Now is the time and
this is the hour to strike for our country's
veal.
IL believe President Jackson has lis
tening. attentive ear 1t is said that he
would as soon scan the opinions Of cor
poral as those of ma or-general, and that
he would with equal readiness adopt or
reject either, as his Judgment might de-
tCrnine. Believing this to be the case,
l venture to make the above suggestion,
with the addition, that there is not one mo-
ment 10 be lost"
From The Arkansas Gazette, 1880.
"PuRcHAsE OF TEXAS. AS the sub
ject ofthe purchase of Texas has engross-
ed much Of the attention Of our politicians
for year or two past. It may not perhaps
be improper to state that we are in pos
session Of information, derived from a
source entitled 10 the highest credit, which
destroys all hope of a speedy acquisition
of that country by the United States. Col.
Butler, the Charge d Afaires ofthe Unit
ed States to Mexico, was specially author
lied BY the President to treat with that
government for the purchase Of Texas
The present predominant party are decid-
eddy opposed to the ceding Of any portion
ofits territory. 1.-THE writer might have
added, and so are all pGrttesl No hopes
need therefore be entertained of our &C
curing Texas until some other party
more friendly to the United States than
the present shall predominant in Mexico,
and perhaps 1.-THE italics are the edtor'sl
not until the people Of Texas shall hroa0
off the yote Of allegiance to that govern
ment, which they will do, no doubt, so
soon as they shall have a reasonable pre-
tert for doing So AT present they are
probably subject TO as few exactions and
impositions as any people under the
sun"
Were it nee essary, could make many
other extracts Of similar character and i'm
port with the above; but will, at pres
ent, only direct the attention Of the read
er to a few more, from papers opposed to
the scheme, and by whom its existence is
admitted and censured.
From the N Y Daily Advertiser.
If Texas should be added to the Uni
ted States, it is not an extravagant supPo
sition that there may in process oftime be
twelve or fifteen additional slave states in
corporoted into the Union.
"lf. then, the free states do not intend
to surrender themselves at discretion if
they do not feel inclined to yield up their
weight and influence in the national az
fairs if they are not disposed to become
tributary to the slave states, and see all the
wealth and energy of the republic placed
under the sovereign control and disposal
OF these states, it is incumbent on them to
watch this project with the deepest solicit
tude and care, and 10 check at the onset
every effort for the accomplishment of
such a wild and perilous undertaking."
From the Pennsylvania Gaz Sept. 1929.
The acquisition of Texas promises to
be leading measure of the present ad-
ministration, and without doubt one of
great magnitude and importance. This
will be very apparent from the fact, as stat
ed, that the territory in question will
make nine states as large as Kentucky, to
which add the appalling consideration,
that it is designed TO make these nine
states, sL0re states. We are told also that
the proper steps have been taken to pro,
cure the ccsson." 1t is high time, there
fore, for the northern interest, the non
slave holding states, to look around to see
how the balance Of power, which it was
the object Of the Federal Constitution to
create and preserve, will be effected BY
this bold undertaking We are much
, pleased by the following remarks of the
New York American -
From the American
The Richmond Enquirer, with one O.
its hints which is meant to signify grea
deal, says, The statesmen who are al
the head of our affairs, are not the men we
take them to be, if they have not already
pursued the proper steps for obtaining the
cession of Texas, even before the able
numbers of Americans" saw the light
