with which II Is REGARDED by III country. and the
policy 10 be pursued by us with regard ~ IT..
II - now tmcc yrars since the defeat of SAINT,
Ann in fart ,rrmlna,ed the levolulon and establish
al the independence OF Texas. During tliat thrco
wears not Mexican IN hostile gusc has crossed lis
frontier. Texas is now occupied by hardy and IN
ctrnsire population OF the Anglo Saxon blood.
These words speak volumes fof the future dcslinirs
Of Texas. This country 80 favored by nature il
now possessed hy the offspring OF tina, lndnmi,abe
Iart 10 whose cuieiTns", to whose aehictrn cnts
limit has yrt been found. oar conviction is pro

which hy means, sometimes, II is true foul. bur far
more often far always hears onward with intelii-

tongue.
Our readers may remember that while Texas WINS
suitor lor mission into Tic Union, did not very
much incline to It's advances Bun matters in thi,
respect rapidly changing; aud believe that
now the people Of The new Republic would them
selves he unwilling 10 be Incorporated IN the ggan
tic family Of the Union.
If,hisi ga therefore be abandoned. and We arc 10
regard Texas rs of our tellnw wa,iarefs the
prea, highway Of nations, II should be our desire
i, clearly duty aud interest To cultivate tho
most anicablc relations with her.
Neither oi our two great commercial rivals arc
observau OF the progress Of tho stale. England
has sent Mr.. Crawford IN the capacity Of consul,
bnt who III understood. in fact instructed to
anime the state of the country,-whie France his
more openly commissioned Monsieur De Salgny,
the Secretary of Legation AT Washington. TO examine
and report on ITS CONDITION.

and We do not doubt that his well known address
and sagacly have email led him TO obtain very cor
rect understanding OF the actual stale aud proba
BILE prospects of Texas, although we suppose that
his habits OF prudence and reserve rs well ms the
stict etiquette OF ioteign diplomacy will prevent
the pubic from benriiIing by the result OF his obscr
vaions.
The day has gone BY II really seems TO u.s. to taunt
Texas with the msfottuncs that have occurred or IL
Won WILL the crimes that have been perpetual ed by,
some of us early settlers. 1hat outrageous speeua
lions have been made in its lands doubtless tho
fact that many OF It's first tolonsts have been out
laws from his county Is, we suppose, undenable.
But IS there OF our new states OF whom ~ lis day
this could not be said What has been true in times
past of Ohio, Indiana, and lllnols--wlIat Is now.
PERHAPS true Of Wisconsin Iowa, cannot, il seems
TO u.s. be considered b, Americans an eternal bot
npon the escucheon of Texas. 1t is the misfortune
oi every Young Rome TO baibor the fusive maleiac-
tors OF olde, States, and regarding Texas not rs
dependent power, seems 10 rs that II is our plain
policy and manifest duty to admit her, not merely by
the establishment Of diplomatic relanns, but by de-
monstiaiions Of good will into the great then hood
of nations. Deporable indeed do we consider the
policy which has fastened the oi slavery upon
lie young Republic, but we ceranly are not ina sit
aution to make tins criterion OF exclusion from the
fraternity &c Christendom.
Texas, we have not doubi, is destined 10 mako
immense advances IN commerce and tie arts. The
inclination OF its population must be toy ards this
country. AID Il seems to us that il would be the
height f absufduy 10 drive them by churlsh NJ
pulse ur bS olen abuse into the aims Of England or
France. Our commercial relations with lirr aud u
is those only that we have in view, should GER
tany be cultivated in every possible WAY,
