States. Meanwhile, all the save-mongers,
slave-politicians, and siare-presses on this
side the Sabine and Red rivers, are using
the utmost exertions to force the recognition
of Texan Independence, and its incorpora-
ton with the United States as speedily as
possible. This monstrous outrage, unsur-
passed in the blacklist page Of history, is fast
tending TO its contamination"
An able writer in the same State, who
ranks among the most eminent legal profess
sional characters, emphatically remarks as
follows, 10 a communication to the editor Of
the National Enquirer Speaking Of the
"Texas Conspiracy" he says
II cannot now bring to my recollection,
IN the history of the world, so foul and
abominable conspiracy against the laws Of
nations, Of civil society, and the rights Of
man, as this neiarious combination Of land
spectators, land-pirates, and man-stealers,
under the name of Terian Patriots pre-
sents and this too in the nineteenth Cen
fury, and in the midst Of people who boast
of being highly intelligent, and claim to be
the friends of law, order. liberty, and the
RIGHTS OF MAN ll--From my in
most soul sicken at the thought"
There can be no possible mistake in these
indications of an awakening spirit among
the intelligent and virtuous Of our country
men. The great question is Will it be so
general as to arrest the grand marplots in
their unholy career, before the seal shall
have been set TO their abominable projects
Let the PUBLIC VOICE BE RAISED,
IN TONES OF. THUNDER. from the
shores of the Atlantic to our inland seas,
and from the mountain-forests Of Maine TO
Swamps of Louisiana Let the nation be
thoroughly awakened, and all may yet be
well. Otherwise, the Demon Of Oppression
will triumph, and our children must wear
his cbains-or blood will flow in torrents,
and the land be drenched with their crimson
gore

advocating the Expunging Resolution, and

selves from a situation out OF which we were
too happy to escape We were strangely
deceived. The Arabs did not come to meet
us; we encountered powerful resistance,
and our means were too limited to triumph
over our fierce adversaries. We attempted
all that human power could do. The honor

projeciiles into that place. and made two as

unavoidable; the men had nothing to eat,
and the horses were without forage for three
days, and we were surrounded by ten or
twelve thousand Of Achmets horsemen, who
expected that moi one of us would escape
We were within eight days march Of Bona,
and our ammunition almost entirely exhaust
ed. Still we arrived here, but in what cond-
ton, and at The price Of what sacrifices -
How many unhappy wounded, and men ex-

to return. are in the most deplorable state
imaginable. As in the campaign OF Mos

lice Cranch, on the motion Of Mr.. Coke to
quash the return made by the Postmaster
General to the mandamus nisi, heretofore

which was characterized by great ability
and research, and occupied two hours and
half in The delivery, went into minute
examination Of the various points made in
the return, and in argument. The Court
adhered to their opinion given on the return
TO the rule to show cause, sustained their
jurisdiction, and quashed the return, as be-
ing insufficient.
The Court then, on motion Of Mr.. Coke,
Of counsel Tor the REALTORS, granted writ
Of PEREMPToRY MANDAMUs, returnabIe on
