affected to deprecate, no one can doubt
Contrast our conduct toward Texas.
with that which we have exhibited toward
Haytil 1t is difficult TO decide, whether,
in these cases, national proAigacy or ma
tional injustice is most strongly displayed
in our character. As 10 Texas, what are
the items Of our profigacy2 |. The
furnishing Of troops and ammunition by
Us for the invasion and revolution OF a
province belonging to foreign power,
with whom we are IN amty. 2. The
forcible dismemberment Of that province,
and its transformation into separate re-
public, through our fundamentally. 3.
The consequent violation of the faith of
treaties, without even so much as the
shadow of an excuse. 4. The hypocrisy
Of our government in pretending to OBJ
serve neutrality, after witnessing the con-
summation Of these seditious proceedings,
without uttering a note OF remonstrance.
5. The sudden recognition of the indie
pendence of that rebellious province, sole
ly upon the result Of gle battle. 6.
This invasion. revolution dismemberment,
and recognition, for the purpose Of re-es-
tablishing slarrry and the sIare trade
upon az emancipation soil!
So much for our national profigacy.
Look next at the injustice of this country.
The republic Of Hayti has maintained its
independence upwards of thirty years,
which has been duly acknowledged by
France, the other country. But, though
we have recognized the independence of
the South American republics, the indie
pendence Of Greece,-the independence
OF Texas.-we have scorned even to en-
terrain for a moments consideration the
proposition for acknowledging the indie
pendence Of Hayti, though our CONNER
cIal intercourse with her is constant aud
lucrative, and though her government is
Tar more stable than that of either of the
other countries alluded TO- The cause of
this glaring injustice is to be found in the
color Of the inhabitants OF Hayti, which
Is not agreeable to our notions Of genuine
republicanism and equal rights.
TEXAS MUST BE ANEExED TO OUR

pointed out clearly the vital importance to

The Mobile Advertiser holds the fol-
lowing language:
The South wish to have Texas admit
ted into the Union for two reasons First,
to equalize the South with the North and
secondly, as a convenient and safe place
calculated from its peculiarly good soil
and salubrious climate for slaue popuLa-
ton Interest and political safety both,
alike prompt the action and enforce the
argument. The South have an awful foe
in all those who demand the emancipation
Of their slaves, and who call upon them
to give up their property now and for
ever
A recreant northern print, the N. York
Sunday News, one Of the most violent
opponents OF the anti-slavery cause, boldly
says:
The determination so generally ex
pressed in favor Of the incorporation OF
Texas into the Union, is based upon the
fact, that the measure is necessary, in or
der to strengthen the South against the
vaccinations Of the northern GbolitioniSts.
