Senate, tsiat ssSsf plGceS ttisty te iI4Ca fitii ,nseruoaIous adyenturers and Submissive parsisans; the press in the interest ol the rulers. has abandoned inc country and the constitution; fa8ning syeephancy and dts eusting adulatioa have superseded good sense and manly independence, and the whole power of the country IS centred n the hands of the Erecat,esi Eleis the law maker and the law giver; he controls the pubic property, and without check dlspen- ses the public iayors; he Is in fact the soY- ereion and dictator, and claims tile right to lsoassaaie Us successor. That the people have not risen esa mas8e against these terri fic assumptions of power, that revolution for patriotic objects has not crushed these usufpations, is more 10 be attributed to the indifference of the, people taan their disre- gard for freedom; great local prosperity and comfort have rendered them careless oi pub- lie liberty, aHd there Is no prospect oi any change, no hope that constitutional freedom will find lis old channels, If the same q dynas- ty and the same doctrines are pefpetaated in fhe succession. Hence the great im- portance of the South, once the great cham- pon of freedom. uniting in the choice of a President ia whom they themselves and the country at large could confide. But they have been sold and betrayed by their own men. Virginia takes the lead in handing over the slave States, bound hand and foot, to the tender nercies of the Northern Can- didate, Even with the constitutional power of the Executive, increased by the increase of the country, and still increasing until all the oihef powers of government are swal- lowed up, what better protection could the slave States desirel Who could contend against the will and power of the Execu=
 tive, honestly directed against fanatics and ineendiasies? The South has lost their sheet anchor in losing their President On the slavery question, they were backed by the constitution; but in these times what protection can the constitution afford, when the President boldly avows that he COZ strues 1t as lie understands if
 The excitement, therefore, will continue. Petitions will continue to pour in against slavery, anG will be received and laid on the table until the time comes to throw of he cloak. The Northern Legislatures will not adopt laws for the protection of the slave States against fanatics, and Congress will not consent 10 throw out of the mails the iirebrands which are to destroy the pre- perty and lives of our Southern brethren and We see no redress, no propeet of relief, no permanent guarantee for the security of Southern rights.

.eIer'co.-A fumor is afioat that Mexico will be called upon to s'pay up" 10 the tune of two millions, for alleged spoliations. The principle must be carried out ''Sauce for the goose IS sauce for the gan der," and Jackson must enter up a capias ad satisfocieadam before he quifs the pre- misses. Santa Ana had better be prepared for the ss6rst instalmenf,n or Texas Will be held in security. N1e believe the General has nearly squared accounts with all the European powefs--he must now open his account current with South America.
 We have a small claim against Holland, for $500,000 damage done to American property, by firing from the citadel of Ant werp OF tue town by Gen. Ghassee. But Van Buren begs he will leave that small item for him to settle, if lie can elbow Gen. Harrison out of the, way.
 Ne believe that there Is sma! unliqdi- dated amount against the Celestial Empire and that Hong fit-loo- Chee, the Emperor ol China, hassslgpifed his willingness to pay provided we take 1t out in honea.
 From the King of Siam we can get no- thing. He said he would have paid in pep per, had not the Potomac, under Commo. dore Downes, given Qaaliah Batioo pep. pering 10 the full amount of the claim.

fIedftTendlng ctfcnptsiaece.--0 Thurs day night last, three or fonr children, bro- liners and sisters, were frozen to death in the city. 1t seems that the mother had exerted herself during inc day, to obtain little wood; that having failed entirely to get any, bcr children and herself being in suffering condldony she went out about ten o'clock at t, gt, ;.iid attempted tto take {, board CT something from fence; in doing winch, she was taken by the watchman, who, in spite ot the representations Of the situation ot her children, took her to the watch-house. Here she again told the captain of the watch her situation, and how she had left her children, and begged in the most earnest and qIteous manner to be released, or that some one might go with her and see that she had not told all untrnh. The captain, however, was as cold and needless of her eAtreaties as pillar of ice, and as the shor- test way to dispose of her, locked her up. In the morning, she was permitted 10 home m company with watchman, when lei the sutterlngs of her little ones tone of them only three weeks old) were at an end--lock- ed III each others arms, they were cold and stIti-death had cone to their relief The feelings of the mother can be better con- ceived than decribed. The brutal watch- men were too callous 10 feel a mental pann. all they cared for wasItheir locking-u up fee.

 IL has invaded our country beth by sea and by laud, win the intent 10 ay waste our territory, and drive us from our homes; and has now a large mercenary army ad- vanciug, 10 carry on against us war ot extermlnaion.
 IL has, through its #emissaries, melted the merciless savage with inc tomahawk and scalping knife, 10 massacre the inhabitants of our defcnceiess frontiers.
 1t has been. during iAe ah0le tirc of our connection with it, the coniemptible sport Iand victim of successive military revolu- tions, and hath continually exhibited every characteristic of weak, corrupt, and tyran- nical government.
 These and other grievances, were patient y borne by the people of Texas, until they reached iaat point at which lorbearance ceases to be virtue. Ne then took up arms in defence of the Naionai Conslliu- ton. We appealed to our Mexican breth- ren for assistance; our appeal had been made in vain; though months have elapsed, no sympathetic response has yet been heard from the interior. " @ are therefore forced to the melancholy conclusion that the Mexi- can people have acquiesced in the drsiruc- ton of thelr liberty, and the substitution therefor of military government. The necessity of self preservation, there 1 fore, now decrees our eternal political sepa- ration.
 We, therefore, the delegates, with pie nary powers, of the people of Texas, in solemn convention assembled, appealing 10 a candid world for the necessities #of our condition. do hereby resolve and DECLARE, that our political connection with the Mexi- can nation has forever ended, aud the peo- pie of Texas do now constitute FREE, SOVEREIGN, and INDEPENDENT REPUB- LIc, and are fully invested with all the rights a..d attributes which properly belong to in- dependent nations; and, conscious of the reetituds of our intentions, We fearlessly and confidently commit the issue to the de- cision of the supreme Arbiter of the desti- nles of nations.

of his riding about our country in his

mocracy for Van Buren, thus to travel,

From the Baltimore Gazette, October
The Senatorial Electoral College,
From a gentleman who left Annapolis
Yesterday afternoon we learn that Mr..
SELLMAN, one of the Electors of the
Senate for Anne Arundel county, yes
terday took his seat in the Electoral
College, and the oaths required by the
Constitution s. that Mr.. LINTH1cuM,
the other Elector for the same county,
was in Annapolis, end, from his con-
versation, appeared to be disposed to
follow Mr.. Sellman's example. The
result of the election for delegates ia
Anne Arundel was understood to be
the cause of Mr.. Sellman's change of
opinion as to the course which he at
first consented to take and it is rea-
sonable to expect that similar result
in Queen Anne and Caroline will pro-
dues similar effect on the Electors
chosen for those counties, who compose
part of the ninstesn who receded il is,
at least very probable tina, among them
two will be found to initiate Mr.. Sell
man, and put an end to the excitement
which now exists in our state.
