Texas AND THE Observation-Disclosures
the South has been defeated in her first
attempt to annex the stolen and blood
stained territory of Texas to this Union,
yet i must not be supposed that she means
TO give up the project as hopeless, without
making fresh exertions to carry it into
effect. When she put her robber-hand
upon Texas, and wrested it from Mexico,
she did not dream ofcreating an independ-
ent slaveholding country by her side;
nor did she anticipate the amount of OPP
position that would be called forth on the
palt Of the partially aboltionized North,
against the daring proposition to unite
Texas with this country. She does not
mean to be foiled in her purpose, but is
unquestionably watching for favorable
opportunity, when northern suspicion is
slumbering, to carry the measure in Con.
gress by the same device that she procured
the acknowledgment of Texican independ-
ence. Hear the Matches Free trader on
this subject, in recent NUMBER We
have reason to believe, from some advices;
that new proposition relative to the union
OF Texas with this country will be brought
forward by distinguished gentleman at
the next session of Congress, under very
favorable auspices This warning is
fairly given, and it behooves the non slave
holding States to be prepared for the con-
fiict. They must never consent to such
an annexation in any terms. Sooner let
the Union be dashed in pieces.-Libera-

A SCIENTIFIC HoAx.-A shower of
! flesh aud blood was reported to have re-
freshed the 'Cedars of Lebanon in Viii.
son county, Tennessee. about the middle
of last Angus. Scientific gentlemen from
a distance visited the spot where this sing
uiaT shower descended, and reported that
the N alter was veritabie fat and muscle,
such as might at once have made part
OF the living body of hog. The story
of the shower rested upon the testimony
OF some negroes who were at work in a
tobacco field, and stated that they saw the
red cloud from which it fell passing
rapidly towards the West The negroes
We have been informed, have since con.
: fessed that this flesh and blood storm,
like the enchantment of Dulcinea by
Sdncho Panza, was thing got up foI
!, their own amusement. The process was
to scatter the purifying carcass of hog
D over the tobacco patch, particles Of which
' in the labratory Of our learned ard ex
cellent friend Professor Troost. were easily
! enough recognized as animal.
HoRRIBLE.-The Natchitoches Her
, aid records a most horrible transaction
in which some Texas maraudelS were en-
gagged. They crossed the line into the U
s. Territory, and captured man named
e Boatright, whom they intended to bury
alive. He stood by and saw them dig
