Texas, delivered TO Congress on the let Of Noyem-

These important documents will be fosnd at
length in tins days paper.
The Rspsblic of Texas-young, honorable and
gallant, Is beginning to make a noise IN the woria.
Ten years ago that territory was an obS<ure, un'
KNOWN province of Mexico, contained hardly 3D.
V0o inhabitants, and was almost without name, cha
rseter, government or law. On this suspieioas dsy
&c numbers nearly 6oo,oeo population, with Tree
and independent goverpment-wuh institutions 81

Belgium and Holland-and in short time viii be also
recognized by Epglan It's finances are somewhat
IN Sisorder-its currency deprecated, but Texas
has more reason for these calamtes thas the nited
States have. Texas has Just risen from the grave,
ard asserted her independence against powerful
aud populous couptry. In few years, we nave no
doubt she will recover her Affairs, and take her
Mace among the best administered nations Of this
The career of Texas is a romance in hi.tory-s
strange problem in political philosophy-the first
act Of gfSst drama cf democracy. Probably nine
tepths OF her population adventurous emf
from the United States and from Europe, who went
there, organic ed themselves into a republic, and
have maintained themselves by their valor and
wisdom. The creation Of this beautiful repub
lie is one of the most extraordinary movements OF
ssoderH times-and is Only the commencement OF a
more general movement of the cultivated repub-
iicans and intellectual Anglo-Saxon races towards
She south that will till they reach and
novate all South America from Ruenos Ayres on the
east 10 Chill in the west coast of the great CONT
s,est In a few wears, we have doubt, but the
growth and prosperity Of Texas will have prodi-
eious influence ON Mexico herself-so much so, as
TO decide her fate and gradually absorb all her prn
cipal provinces. Already Texas has made greater
progress in her brief career than any nation has
-doas in the same time. This has been produced
principally BY the wisdom and patriotism Of her
states men, and the enterprise and courage OF her
citizens.
Such is Texas-and with such elements Of exist
ence and health, we have NO doubt that her future
srogress will surpass her past, and that she will be
sa onor to race and to human nature En- drdnf,
we say. Let the Kings and nations OF Europe lock

civilization this great continent In Texas we
save given them recipe for creating hourishiny
republic ou of all sorts of emf grants embracing some
OF the best and Of the worst of men parsons,
pauPers, pipeayers politicians, Pickpockets, ped

60 put up another in the short period Of three days,
without any insurrecties outbreak battle, tight, or
