IMPORTANT FRoM TExAs.---The
schooner Endcacor arrived at this
port early yesterday morning from
Galveston, by which we received pa
pers to the 6lh instant.
The lIousson papers give the par.
ticulars in relation TO a projected
campaign across the Rio Grande au-
thorized by the Executive. The ser.
vices of thirteen hundred men are to
be reccived--they are to elect .,,.eir
own oflicers-and have permission to
levy contributions r.pon the Mexican
towns FOR the::i support. Washing
lon, Montgomery, Fayette, and Bast-
Top counties are authorized to furnish,
each, 132 men, and Brazoria. Austin,
Fort Bend, Harris. Robertson, Milan,
Gonzales. Colorado, Jackson. Nicto-
ria, and Ward, &C men each.
No troops arc authorized from the
eastern counties, u2less satisfactory
assurances are given of their ability
10 subsist themselves while passing
through the West, without burthen-
ing the people of tha: section. Beet
and such ammunition as NAV be Sh
hand will be furnished by the Gov
eminent. The rendezvous is to be at
the Sulphur Springs near tie mouth
of the Ciboli. The Telegraph states
that Gen. B~urIeson, Col. }. IL. Moore.
and Col. Cook, OF Washington coun-
,y, will join the expedition.
After the above vas in type. we
met a gen,ienmen who had received
a letter from Galveston, informing
him on the authority OF Col. Cook
that every merchant vessel IN the
port of Vera Cruz. some fifteen or
twenty, had been prssed to convey
Mexican troops 10 the number OF
1000 TO Yucatan-ls was SAID. but
it is surmised their destination Is the
CITY of Galveston. If this is So. and
we cannot doubt il. a serious "itare

Messrs. Wise. Raqucr. Davis, and

striking out TIE 27lh section Of the
bill Just passed, and placing tea and
coniiee among the fire articles.
Mr.. Fillmore stated that Ibis reso
lution was necessary TO an express
sion Of opinion as to the ability OF
the House to do any thing. II any
bill was to be passed, ii must be one
on which the House had expressed
an opinion, as there was not time or
disposition. at this period of the SEES
sion. TO 90 into the subject anew
Mr.. Fillmore proposed the previous
question:; but before there was a Sec
ond.
Mr.. Smith, Of Va. moved to lay
the resolution upon the table. The
yeas and NAYS were asked by MIR.
Fillmore. and ordered by the House.
The motion was lost--ayes Is, noes
l03.
Mr.. Fillmore moved for a call o
the House, in order that there might
be a full vote on this resolution. which
he regarded as a test OF the determ'
nation of the House, on the subJec'
of passing a revenue bill at this ses
sion. After the call had been made
the House proceeded to vote; sever
al Wings. Mr.. Fillmore among the
number, not answering when the
names we're reap by the clerk.
M. Wise inquired, if the House
could not compel every member pres
| eat TO vote, or punish him for refu
sing. The Speaker answered that The
House had the right so TO do. Mr.
Wise then stated that Messrs. Mathio.
and Calhoun of Massachusetts har
not voted. Their names were lher
called and Mr.. Calhoun voted II thu
affirmative, MIR. NJ. in the negative
NJ. Mcclellan of n. Y. asked tina
the name of the chairman OF th'
Committee on Ways and Means, Mr.
Fillmore, should be called. Mr.. Fill
more then rose and said, that "as III
colleague was SO anxious about tn
matter he would answer to his name
and vote no-against his w resolu

ton Sc. against it ia.
Mr.. w. w. Irwin, Of Pennsplva

the House be suspended, Tor the Pul
nose Of enabling him to introduce
bill entitled, "a bill TO provide reve
nue. from imports, and to change an
modify existing laws imposing dutie

This bill is substantially the same bi

Late from Texas.

The ncws from .Naiamoras confirmed.
The schooner Henrietta, Capt.
lIurd. arrived Yesterday morning, in
s days from Galveston. We receiv-
ed no papers by her. but Il gentleman
who came passenger informs us that
news had been received at Calves
ton of the movement of 1920 MeXi-
cans, under Gen. Refs, towards the
borders of Texas. Commissions had
been issued to raise citizen soldiers
for the purpose of protecting the bor-
ders against the inroads OF the Mexi-
cans.
All the volunteers from the United
States had been disbanded. Col.
Clements of the Huntsville volunteers,
came passenger in the II. Two
Mexicans had been taken prisonrs on
the borders, who stated thatthe Mexi,
cans were preparing for another inva-
sion, and that the orders from Santa
Anna were 10 take no prisoners.
This information, though not Off
cial, comes through sources which
may be depended upon; but we still
incline to the belief thatSanta Annals
invasion of Texas is all ''gass.' No
man knows better than the "Napole-
on of the South" the total mpracti.
cability of such an enterprise, and
experience has taught him the quail.
ty OF the Anglo Saxon blood. His
policy, however, is to keep the eye
of the nation o. menials he rules
fixed on the darling subject of inva.
sion, and in this respect his course Of
conduct is precisely similar to that o.
Napoleon, if we may be permitted tc
write the names of the two individu.
ais on the same sheet of paper.

On the 18th inst. another revenue bill
was introduced in the House, which will
insure revenue and incidental protection
TO manufactures. Though the bill was
introduced by Mr.. Ingersoll it is thought
that it viii receive the support Of a por-
ton Of the more moderate Of the wings,
from the consideration that a move
has been made by the manufacturers in
favor Of q tariffbill without distribution.
The Newbureport Herald says: "a
petition was circulated yesterday in
town, urging upon Congress to pass a
Tareff and Revenue Bill, disconnected
with the Land Bill. Almost every indi-
vidual who saw it, gladly affixed his sig
nrture TO the petition"
A writer in the Boston Courier SAYS,
the leading party in Congress have cou-
pied the distribution measure with the
vital n Of providing a revenue for the
country, and ofsaving the manufacturing,
mercantile and mechanic interests from
their impending ruin. They have done
so with a knowledge that it would be
vetoed by the executive; and what is &c
be gained by this absurd, not to say IN.
principled attempt, to crafty past per-
sOnal and political luminosity, at the ex-
pense of the whole nation"
The editor of the Boston Courier re-
marks as follows in reference TO distri-
button: "We do not believe there are ten
men in New England who care two far,
things about that provision. wheter it be
retained or not; but a tariff and q reve-
nue. are wanted and must be had. 1t is
evident they cannot be had nth disfribu-
tion; for mercy's sake, then let us have
it mifhout distribution"
So it seems that in the manufacturing
districts the feeling is decidedly in favor
Of a tariff and a revenue, even though il
should be necessary to drop the favorite
distribution scheme TO accomplish it.

dcacy.--Mr. Wise has intimated that

An exchange paper says the Wings Of
Pennsylvania are making a strong move
ment in favor of a national convention.
They contend that the concentrated
movement in the various cities in favor
Mr.. Clay, is not polite or indicative o!
the tone of public feeling. They refer 10
Mr., Clay's previous defeats, and assert
that the party can only be united by

5000 WHIGs IL CoNcIL!-The Gin
cinnati Gazette of the 22d inst Says
"The meeting of the Wings at Hamilton
on Saturday was a most spirited affair.
Eight thousand al least were there! The
farmers, with their wives and daughters,
were there. The mechanics were there
and they brought with them their work
shops. The multitude were there; Gan
army with banners" The same old coon
that was out in 1910, was there, with
several young ones. The speeches Of
Messrs. Storer, Schenck, Corwin and
Southgate were admirable. The reso-
lutions were excellent and spirit-stir-
ring. Clay, Davis and Corwin were
brought out, and the resignation of The
Wing members heartily approved.
Resolutions condemning the course Of
Capt. Tyler, and requesting him to re-
sign his Office, were unanimously adopt,

The old coon was there too. Well

THE REroRr.-The report of the Sc
lect committee appointed to consider the
veto message of the President, is but a
~reiteration of the abuse heaped upon the
President by the organs ofhis w party
because, forsooth, he has wisely vetoed
the distribution tariff bill" an act which
every honest politician is ready TO ac-
knowledge has saved the country from
the r%uinous consequences that would in
inevitably result from such a measure.
The most inveterate opposers of Mr. Ty-
Ter, who, by-the-bye, are the ~le.Gine
members of the party that elected him
have taken ground that places them be,
