looks directly to the question between
Texas and Mexico.
From which it appears to US, our govern
ment will in all probability, o o become
an active party in the conflict now 60
ing on upon the other side ofthe Sabine.
There is m other cause which seems
to us will lead to this result. that is the
Mexican army marching to into Texas
as avowed Abolition;sts. The manifesto
OF Santa Anna. published in Mexico al
ludes to slavery in language which will
not be overlooked or forgotten by the
slave holders of the United States. One
OF the meanes no doubt upon which he
relies for success, is the revolt of the
slaves of Texas under the deceitful
promise Of liberty. 1t is ridiculous,
falsehood for him to talk of establishing
liberty in Texas while his own people
are ruled as with "a rod of iron"

TEXAS.

From Information received relative to
this new republic, there is no doubt
but they win have hard struggle to
maintain their independence. Santa
Anna is making great preparations to
bring into the field, a sufficient force to
conquer and destroy the Texans during
the present season. 1t seems that he de-
signs upon his party to make it a war
Of determination.
The authorities of Texas are not only
preparing their own citizens for the COM
bat, but are calling IN their friends Of
the United States, and all others friend
ly to the cause of civil liberty to come
to their assistance. How far these calls
will be regarded by the friends of Civil
liberty in the United States, may be
learned by the various public meetings
which have been held along and near the
Mississippi from New Orleans to St.
Louis. These meetings which have been
numerous, have been attended and ad-
dressed by some ofthe most distinguished
ind active citizens ofthe great Valley Of
the west; and resolutions have been
adopted, de- ,uncing Mexico, for her
treatment o American citizens, taken in

The editor of the "Western Missou-
rian" appears to think it a difficult task
"now-a-days to run a straight line be-
ween all the political parties" We say
to friend Kennedy, Notwithstanding the
task may be difficult we will have the
satisfaction of knowing that our course
is the correct enc. 1t has been assumed,
and Justly too, that the truth always lies
between the extremes. Our situation
though unpleasant IN sSae respects, is
desirable in many othds. Conscience
unfettered and free, we can bear patient
ly and cheerfully with many of the per-
plexities attending our situation. We are
not compelled to advocate men and meas
ures that our heart is opposed to. We
are at liberty to encourage and commend
virtue, honesty and integrity wherever,
whenever and in w%homsoever they may
be found. At the same time we have
the right (and we intend to use it) to
point out vice and villany, and to hold
them up to public execration, no matter
in what quarter they may make their ap-
pearance. As to the "squalling'' spoken
of by friend X. we are in hopes it will
not be very annoying, as the majority of
the Salt River citizens are generous and
liberal minded. They expect an editor
to keep his eye upon the truth and they
will take care oftheir own "toes, corns"
SC. The evidence of this state of the
public mind is, our subscription list is on
the increase; it is true hat a number have
Withdrawn their names, but a greater
number have come forward to fill their
place. This we think augurs well for
the course we have adopted. Friend K.
expresses great anxiety to know (which
of side of neutrality" we will ultimately
take. AS we always feel for a man in
suspense we would gladly relieve him:
but at present we are not able to give the
smallest clew by which he may come in
to the possession of this secret.

that within a short time had travelled in

he amused the audience with a number
Of anecdotes with which Mr.. Porter is
in the habit of illustrating the mischief
