HOW TO MAKE, MONEY

The Pcayune thus instructs its readers, and people
generally Let the business Of every body else
alone and attend to your own Don't buy what you
don't want. Use every hour to advantage, and study
TO make even leisure hours useful Think twice be-
fore you throw awey dollar; remember you viii
have another to make for it. Find recreation in
looking after your business and So your business will
not be neglected IN looking after recreation. Buy
low, sell fair, and take of the profits. Look
over your books regularly, and If you can find
OF cent, trace IT out. Should stroke of mis-
fortune come upon you in trade retrench work hard
err but never ely the track" Confront difficulties
with un0inching perseverance, and they disappear at
last. Though you should even fail in the struggle,
you will be honored but shrink from the track, and
you will be despised BY following these rules, how
ever, you =" ed not say fail" Pay debts promptly,
and so exact your dues. Keep your word. Take he

THE CRISIS IN TEXAS.

Present appearances indicate that the Texans are
have another struggle for the maintenance of their
Independence and If successful, 1t will probably be
the last For months past Santa Anna has been en-
gagged in raising and drilling army for the invasion
Texas and he has also contrlved to get together
respectable naval force, including two steamers from
England, armed with PaiXhan guns, and manned by
British seamen. As preliminary to the invasion Of
Texas, he has sent his squadron and 100 soldiers TO
reduce Yucaan TO subsection; and should he succeed
IN this object, as he probably will, thavlng already
captured Laguna and the Yucatan totla,) the whole
dsposable force of Mexico will be available for the
invasion of Texas. And against Texas we have no
doubt it will be directed. We anticipate combined
attack by sea and land. While the Mexican squad.
ron, with perhaps land force in addition, operat S
against Galveston and vicinity, the main army may
be expected to enter from the West portion Of
this army, according to the last accounts had already
surprised San Antonio, capturing the principal in-
habitants, including the Judge aud ofhcers OF the
Court then IN session, lawyers, clients and all. 1t
strange that the vgilant Texans should have
allowed themselves to be " come over so handsome
ly. few months ago they took the alarm, and pre-
pared for defence. But the immediate danger hav-
ing soon passed away, the mi tia were discharged,
and 4dairs were suffered to go as if in the midst
of profound peace, Never since the declaration Of
independence, Texas more unprepared for a
vigorous contest, than at this moment. Her army
is disbanded her ships of war lie idle at New Or
leans for want OF funds when their presence Is ur-
gently needed on the coast OF Texas and fucatan -
her credit Is utterly PROSTATE, and money she has
none. Still, she brave hearts and strong hands
and when the crisis comes, trust she will be found

The Bosros CouRiER makes the following
sensible remarks in relation TO the savage at
tacks in the National Intelligencer on Mr.. Web
ster:
Ma wEBsrER's SPEECH has produced effect,
at least for which the readers Of the National lntell-
gencer will be obliged to II has kindled spark
of vitality in that respectable journal, which VIII
doubtless awaken some interest. Whether that
spark will be raised to fame intense enough TO con-
sumo Mr. Webster, and thus relieve him from the
task of guarding his own honor, we venture not to
predict. When he shall return TO w asfiington, we
trust he will take especial care not to cross the pur-
poses of the ntelgencer and 10 keep out OF the at
mosphere OF the caudron Of ITS wrath oyerboil-
ing with rancor If Mr. Webster should not resign
under the infection of all the tempest of indignation,
raised by the mtelligencer at the command oil the
New York American and the Boston Atlas, he must
be of the most obstinate fellows that ever con-
scented to save his country from the fate OF the cl-
ties of the plain" Let him look TO IT.

VINO Knows BEsT;"-The Courier thinks if

ster is not Wing. The editor says that Mr.. Web
ster himself IS not entitled TO testify in the case and
therefore that his testimony, however strong cannot
be used in the argument Let us examine this ques-
ton moment. The cause is now at issue. The
Courier brings the charge. Mr.. Webster denies that
charge, and aifrms with solemn emphasis that he is
Wing. Now, II we know any thing of the rules Of
pleading, or the of logic, tn is cast upon
the party making the charge. Where then is the
proof The testimony of the complainant and de-
PENDANT is both excudedor rather the denial of the
defendant is to be taken true until the complainant
has made out his case by proof. We wait for that

BOSTON MORNING POST.

1t is gross ngratitude to be in the daily re-
ceipt of blessings, and return no expression of
thanks-to be growing fat upon bonnes bouches,
and yet make no acknowledgment to the gra-
cious donor. Where we have enjoyed much,
we should recommend our caterer

is at no feast of the Barmecides-where cover
ed dishes are placed on the table, and when
opened, found empty. No! At this entertain
ment there is a plate reserved for every guest.
invited or unexpected; and from meats of Juicy
richness, well seasoned, pungent, the palate may
be gratifed.
He, the editor, is a fellow of infinite iest''-
of right merry conceits-full Of frocksome bu-
mor-and compassionate withal-for he seldom
visits the sins Of the juvenile transgressors
around with any but juvenile punishment. If
they are needless, and obey not his precepts, or
rebellious, and violate his commands, he laws
them across his knee and nficts the consecra-
ted chastlsement-so that what they lose al
one end, they gain at the other"
He who takes not the Boston Morning Post
takes no great thing. We pity the individual
if such there be, for he is behind the age, and
can never overtake it. Such man may have
some ideas-but, crab-like, they must move
backwards

n5The editor Of the Lowell Courier had not
"room enough for It's emotions" on reading
Websters speech. What had he done with
the unoccupied room he had before? A person
with a iavern-cense is required to keep GER
tain number of rooms for casual guests; but if
this editor meets with an unexpected idea, he
has no spare room for so great stranger-and
certainly among his Wing" neighbors he
could not have disposed Of it, for most Of them
were OVERLOOKING with "emotions."

scriber to the Express stopped that paper and took
ours, declaring that he would no longer take Tyler
paper. That, however, was while the Express had
the printing of the Post Office list of dead letters.
The Express had many such customers, that it
concluded the defence of the President would cost
moe than the list of letters was worth, and it
tackled about and went the other way But that is

The object of the British and Canadian govern
ments two fold, VIZ
|. To compel American wheat intended for the
English market to go through Canada and of course,
to be ground in Canadian mills, and shipped in British
vessels. This is to be effected by exempting it from
duty in the English ports, if coming through Canada,
and subjecting it to high duty if brought from the
United States direct
2. The other object is the protection of Canadian
agriculture. The farming interest in that province
has been quite opposed to the idea of admitting Anne
rcan wheat free Of duty, because the effect would be
to reduce the price of Canadian wheat. TIE IS.
duty to be imposed in Canada agreeably TO the above
mentioned bill, will be much protection to the Ca
madam wheat grower; but will not check the import
of American wheat into Canada provided little or no
duty imposed upon it, the flour made from it,
its arrival in England.
Unless our government should adopt some counter
vang measures, do not but both these OBJ
iecs will be accomplished. 1t is true, the words Of
the Brit sh law admit and may continue to admit,
into England only Canadian wheatf ee of duty but il
is evident from the tone Of Lord Staney's letter,
that in practice all wheat flour imported from
Canada will be deemed and taken" to be Cana
dian.
This year the Canadians have got their fingers
burnt by graspng eagerly at a trade which be-
longs properly to us,-and far they arc welcome
TO IT.
