T'he Emancipator has the following in
telIigsnt reflections:

T'he Emancipator has the following in.
telIigsnt reflections:
TEXAS.
The Texans have declared themselves
"a free, sovereign, and independent repub-
Hc." Their "Declaraton of independence"
was put fortIf on the I'd of March, by Il
convention held at the town of Washing
ton, and is signed by about fifty persons.
They complain of sundry grievances, none
of which are equal TO those endured by
their own slaves, and in view of them
assert in their preamble, that,
"When government has ceased to pro-
tect the lives liberty and property of the
people from whom its legitimate powers
are derived and for tire advancement of
whose happiness it was instituted, and 50
far from being guarantee for the enjoy
ment of those nestimable and unalienallle
rights, becomes an instrument in the hands
of evil rulers for their oppression in
such crisis the first law of nature, the
right of self-preservation, the inherent and
unbelievable right of the people to appeal
to first principles and take their political
affairs into their own hands, in extreme
cases, enloins it as right toward them
SCiNCo3 ti'h q outICu OOttS uttOH W. thNh I'''
terlty, to ABOLISH SUCH GOVERNMENT, and
create another in its stead, calculated to
rescue them from impending dangers,
and to secure their future welfare and hap
.piness."
Accordingly, they concluded their Gee
laration thus:
"rhe necessity of sclfprcscrvation,
therefore now DEGREES our eternal political
separation. We, therefore, the delegates,
with plenary powers of the people of Tex
as, in solemn convention assembled, ap-
peaing to candid world for the neccssi-
ties of our condition, do hereby resolve
and declare that our political connection
with the Mexican nation has forever ended,
and that the people of Texas do NOW con-
sttute free, sovereign, ana independent
republic, and are fully invested with all the
rights aud attributes which properly belong
to independent nations"
One of these "riglts and attributes" of n
"free, sovereign and independent republic"
we suppose, according TO the TeXian i'll
terpretation, is the right to hold slaves. Aud
no doubt if the Texans succeed, they will
he free, sovereign and independent enough
in its exercise BE this as it may, the
southern press should be caretcl how
it gives currency to such "incendlary doc
umentS."
Thus far the Texans have met with
defeat.

antimasons as well rs others, cannot put on
and nut off their creed like Harlequin in
PLAY, or like the modern trading politi-
clans, who have no idea that the people
can possibly be actuated by any other feel
ings than blind devotion to corrupt lead
ers. These men must have II contempt for
the virtue and intelligence of our popula-
ton, which could scarcely be justified any
where out of Asia. 1t remains to he seen
whether all virtue and adherence TO prin-
ciple shall he secuted as idle chimeras, fit
only to tickle the tancicS of school boys.
1t may be so. Passing occurrences sut-
ficienty evince the lamentable extent of
the corruption which has spread, and is
daily spreading over the land. 1t may be
irresistible. But here among the Green
Mountains and where liberty loves to dwell,
on this free soil, never polluted by the foot
of slave, here, if any where, she will
make a successful stand, and say to party
corruption, 'Thus far shalt thou come, but
no further; and here shall thy proud waves
be stayed !
To the generous sons of Vermont, tho
idea of being in minority has no terrors I;
they have been i'll a minority ever since the
accession of the present incumbent, they
have neither been ashamed nor afraid to
place themselves in this position they have
at least enjoyed the proud consciousness of
indulging in their own convictions formed
on mature consideration, unterrifed by the
impotent thunders of prescription, and I'M
seduced by flattering promises. Such Il
position we have been proud TO hold, for it
is as honorable as it is independent and if
this nation is destined to suffer all the evils
IF n npruptIIatiou of the present DYNASTY
through another term, single or double, l
trust she will yet have virtue and tirmness
enough to hold on to her principles through
evil report and through good report. At
all events, the battle must not he allowed to
90 by default Let there be henceiortli, a
cordial union Of those who agree on I'M
portant points, sinking minor differences
in one general and vigorous effort to save
our honest little State from disgrace and
ruin. OLD CALEDONIA.

United States Senator, from North Caro-

"Sir, know we are beaten for the pres

a while. The Presidents influence may
screen and sustain them yet little longer.
Beware of the hour when that protection

retribution will surely come. Many Of us

FROM TExAs.-New Orleans papers OF
the 9Th inst. brings us intelligence from the
immediate seat of war in Texas to the goth
March, received there by a schooner from
Brazora, the captain of which reports that
Col Tanning had blown up the fort at
Goiard, La Bahia, demolished the town,
fought his way with 800 men through the
investing army of the MeXcans, and etlec-
ted IA junction with the main army of the
Texans, under General Houston. An ell
gagenent was daily expected between the
two main armies, on the east bank Of the
Colorado, the MeXicans being 5000 strong
and the Texans, according to one account
$500, and another to 5000. A skirmish is
said TO have taken place between the Tex
ians and the advance guard of the Mexican
army, ton the Goth of march, in which the
latter were repulsed, with some loss of xii.
led and prisoners.
Another account says:
We have the following reports by the
Gen, ral De Kalb, from Brnzoria, that sailed
on the 81 inst. General Houston had re.
trated twenty miles from the Colorado, OF
on the 2Glh March, the enemy having nd
vanccd to the Opposite shore. - San Felipe
had been burned 10y the inhabitants. 1t wa,
also the intention of the people TO burr
Bells Landing and Brazoria, should tn,
Mexicans approach.
We are glad to learn that the schooner
Coralla, having on board seventy womel
and children flying from Texas, has arrived
in safety at New Orleans. Fears were en-
tertained that she had been captured by :
cruiser. There seems reason TO believe
that the non-combatant inhabitants of Tex
as, have all been removed in safety TO IN,
hither side of the Sabine.

Surplus Reuenue. The amount of Sur
plus Revennc of the United States is ut
present, rising of Thirty Millions of dollars
This is Il surplus, over and above all unex-
pended appropriations, which latter, aided
nv the hourly increase of the revenue, JUS
tity us in putting down the sum now in the
hands of the government at Forty Millions
of dollars.
This sum of Forty millions of dollars is
equal to One Million bales of Cotton, esti-
mating each bale at $40, or to Eight Mil
lions barrels of Flour, estimating each bar
rel at five dollars.
Now we ask the reader for n moment to
pause and consider what would be the
effect OH the general welfare of the coun-
try, if either Of the staple articles referred
to should fall short in the above degree of
its ordinary annual produce? Would it
not be considered u national calamity?
would it not be one in reality? And yet
we defy any one TO show in what respect
such an event would differ in its effects
on the prosperity of the country, from the
incontrovertible fact now existing, that an
equivalent amount of capital, is retained
in the hands of Government, an amount of
capital produced by the industry of the
people, rs mucH as inc same value IN cOltOn
or -four
Whatever be the amount of the revenue
levied by Government on the people, so
long as that Government returns it in anoth-
er form to the people, it produces no dim
mutton of national capital or wealth. 1t
may he impolitic or unjust to levy it in tho
first instance, yet this impolicy or injustice
only affects the individuals Immediately
suffering from it, but in no other respect
does it detract from the national prosperity.
This is the whole mystery of the immense
national debt of Great Britain. Those
from whom the interest OF the debt is
exacted, suffer, but as it is Immediately re-
turned to the people through the dividends
to the nnulnerable fund holders, the
capital of the country is untouched by it.
Yet here the case is entirely different
The revenue derived from the industry
of the people is totally withheld. 1t does
not return to fertilize the soil from which
it is drawn, but would, if the system be
persevered with, leave the whole barren
waste. We trust the people will bear in
mind that this state of things is permitted
by the friends of MIR VAN BUREN---tha
they have the majority in both Houses,
that it will not do for them to invest thu
revenue and make it source of specua
ton and profit, for even this, would no
meet the evil. 1t must be retuned to the
people, aud nothing short of this, will pre-
vent the distressing consequences of III
accumulation, extending shortly to every
part of the Union. Cour. 4 Eng.
