Much importance appears to be attached, in the

Mn. MORRIS REPoRT ON TEXAS.


We have received the Document accompany
ing the Presidents Message Of the % inst. They
consist of 10 letters. addressed by Henry NJ.
Morhi, (the AaenI,ppolnedl o collect information
relative 10 TeNas,) to ohc Secretary OF State.
They extend from 9Th August 10 the IA Septem-
ber.--Mr. Morft estimates very highly the re-
sources Of Texas. He eniertalnes no doubt Of
her capacity to effect her independence; bui hes
itales in recommending her recognition by tho
United States The following extract closes his
correspondence, and, in fact, gives the spirit OF the
whole:
1.-The United States have, in common with every
other nation, right to enlarge Their resources IN
the proper requirement OF territory, the extension
of their commerce, the ncease OF revenue, and
the promotion OF alliances; but, as an Offset to this
in reference to the present question, may be c"n'
sidered the doubtful policy in tie application OF
the rule. from the infancy OtTeXas, the uncertain
" of her ability to continue her eHoIs TO the fuli
iruilcn Of freedom, the custom OF ncutralS not to
interfere with co-behgerent, and the convention
between the United States and Mexico, which
inculcates the establishment OF friendly relations
upon finn basis.
~ hese and other considerations referred TO IN
my former communications, constitutes the Tea-
son for rausng in expressing the opinion that
Texas is now capable Of performing the obhga-
ton Of an independent nation.
"The night course of duty, which requires
candid statement from facts, prevails over PARTIAL
tiles that prompt a different picture; and though
a regard Tor truth, a sense OF national integrity,
and desl g TO manifest their stict exercise hy
the United States, may justly delay the period for
enrolling Texas in the list OF nations, her citizens,
and those who participate in the principles OF her
cause, may be consoled by the certainty that
without the aid Of any Government, the career Of
political freedom, which is extending throughout
the world will OF its own speed accomplish what
caution now withholds,
"Foregn policy, the conveutic nal faith OF ma
tons, or the efforts of Mexico, may detan Texas
lingering in heI embryo state for many years; bnt
the fertility of her soil, the remoteness ct her slt-
uation, which affords an asylum from the angry
subjects that efien agitate the Northern and South
ern parts of our county; and, above all, the cur
rent of emigration, which through the whole West
looks like the advent of the oppressed of oil ma
tons seeking to build up free affairs in new
hemisphere must disenthral her by moral force
which no power nor potentates can resist"

THE CROPS.

The Crops.-Our wheat harvest has
commenced, and never, we believe, in this
co untry, under more favorable auspices.
Our crops last year were large, but farm
efs tell us that the present crops are far
superior. One gentleman who has been
residing near Kalamazoo for the last five
years inc orms us that he never saw crops
look bett er, and that during his whole resi-
dGncE here, he has not had SO large crop
At "a average per acre, of wheat, oats and
potatoes on his farm, as he has at the pre-
sent time. We have heard similar accounts
from other farmers residing in this town.

equally as productive as the other; il

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONFERENCE.-The con-
vention assembled at Ann Arbor on the Goth
inst. for the purpose of nominating suitable can
didates for Governor, Lieut.. Governor and Re-
preventative in Congress, to be supported bv
the democratic party at the next ensuing cleo
ton.
The state was fully represented by delegates
from the several counties, and we have seldom
if ever, witnessed more talent and respectabiIitv
in so large body of men. The delegations were
composed Of men Of all professions and employ.
ments, who spoke freely the wishes of the people
from the several sections of the State; and the
aim OF the convention was to present such men
for the suftrages of the people as were most fam
liar with their wants, and whose tried integrity
was sufficient guarantee Of their dcvotcdness
to the best interests of the State. In making
such selection, the Convention have presented the
names Of STEVENS T. Mason, for Governor,
EDwAhD MUNDY, for Lieutenant Governor,
and ISAAC +. CRARY, for Representative to Con-

Monopoy.--The "harvest home" of the
present season will commence in a few
days; and it is TO be hoped that the spirit
of monopoly which has pervaded the pur-
chase of the product of the soil for the last
year vii. become extinct. If any are to
reap the benefits from the want or scarcity
of provisions, let it be the producers.-The
cause of one half the distress now in the
country, owes its origin to the non-producer
the speculator on the labor of others.
The great portion of wheat bought last
year, was purchased for from 81 to s. 80
per bushel from the farmer; and when oil
that could readily be obtained was pur-
chased, these holders of the produce of the
soil put up the price. We hope it may not
be SO this fall. Spectators, monopolizers,
and n-producers, have fattened on the
the people long enough. Let them now 60

Extra Session of Congress.-Congrcss will
soon meet, and what is then to DO done? What
can be done? We are well convinced that
powerful influence will be brought to bear in
favor of National Bank. This will be an i'm
portant measure for our members Of Congress to
act upon. We charge them beware of what
they do--an awful responsibility is entrusted 10
their care. The people have been insulted and
abused by moneyed monopolies. We satisfied
that no national monopoly of the magnitude of
the late United States Bank can ever be estab-
lished in this country, upon any principles what
ever, without endangoring the liberty and just
rights Of our countrymen. The old adage, "mo-
ney is power has been clearly and forcibly pro-
ven to us to be too true. We had a particular
illustration of the power such institutions have
in the conduct Of the late Bank of the United
States in '33, when the mother Bank at Philadel-
phia and the Branches throughout the United
States acted in concert in extending their issues
to very large amount, and then suddenly call
ing in their dues. This produced a shock from
which we have not even yet recovered. twas a
deep laid scheme of the leaders the federal par
ty with Nicholas Biddle at their head to create
a pressure in the money market and consequent
distress among the people, with view of compel
ling Congress to a re-charter of that odious and
corrupt institution. 1t would not do--the people
saw the desperate game that was playing, and
have nobly defeated their every effort Let us still
persist in our onward course, and repel with in
dignation, any effort that may be made by the
Federal aristocrats-that band of speculative dos
peradoes, who are now exerting every nerve to
establish moneyed monopoly in these republ-
can states, which can control the whole wealth
of the country. We are well convinced, and il
is useless TO deny the fact, that the present Wing
or Federal party, is composed of the most veal
thy portion of the people of the United States,
and they would, as matter of course, eventu-
ally control any National Bank that might be es-
t,blishcd, as they did the old United States Bank.
Now what would the democracy of the country
have to expect from the establishment of such an
institution, under such circumstances The op.
position would have, in addition to their own in
dividual wealth, the welding Of monster which
has within its grasp, the wealth and prosperity of
the country. We should view the establishment
of National Bank by Congress, at this time,
as deadly blow aimed directly at the liberties of
the common people.
We make the following extract from the adj
dress Of the Michigan Democratic State Con-
vcntion, lately holden at Ann Arbor, which doc
ument we received too late for this weeks paper.
II will appear in our next. II speaks the true
sentiments and feelings Of the Democratic party;
"The opponents Of the administration are
now striving for the establishment of ma.
tional bank, us a remedy for the disordered
CURRENCY which we now experience. II

Cheer up.-The New York Express, a
wing paper, INDUCES in the following pleas.
ing onticipations
ave believe that VIC may now safely say
that there is fair promise of better state
Of things in New York. There is a great
deal of money lying idle, which capitalists
do not invest, because they dare not, but
which, as confidence increases, they will
soon put into action. The fall in the price
of specie is good indication of the state of
our foreign exchanges. The promise of
bountiiul crops in all the states, cheers every
body. Indeed the crops of some of the
southwestern states have already come in.
From the state of Mississippi, there is an
immense ducto this city. Their creditors
here, therefore, will read with pleasure,
that some of the planters in Holmes coun.
ty, had on June l7th gathered fine crops
of wheat, and were preparing it for market.
Mississippi will this year raise her own
corn and wheat, and make large portion
ofthe provisions for which she has hitherto
been dependant upon other states. Her
cotton crop will not fall short of $4,000
bales; this at ten cents per pound will a.
mount TO fifteen millions of dollars which
will greatly ovcr-pay her foreign debt, and
60 long way towards paying the debt
owing by the U. States to England. In
such country as ours, so young, so full OF
life, with soil SO abundant, no action Of

us down long. We will rise in spite of i
but fit will aid us, in year, we will be
on our triumphant march again."
