Congress, and the naming of a new body

in Puebla by Gen. Cana!zo. This news
was sent by express TO Mexico TO Gcn.
Tornel minister Of war; who immediateiy
made it known to Congress. This body
replied that they were the representatives,
Of the country, and would not be driven
from their seats, except by force of arms.
This is purely military movement, prob
ably secretly moved by Santa Ana.
News has arrived here from the west,
of the occupation CT Monterey, town in
California, by Commodore Jones' of the
frigate U. States and corvette Cyane. He
held the town about two days, and then

1t is said that despatch has been reeeiv-
ed by the packet of the 10Th November,
on this interesting subieer. Rumor says
that choice between Kingston aud Mon
treal was left to the Provincial Govern

consideration By the Council, when the
division was six to five in favor OF Mon
treal-Quebec Mercury.

T" Ii has been told me that he denies having used
such language. But Rowland Robinson, Mar
cia Ann Murray, and numerous others heard and
markedit distinctly at the time. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing for James Ten Brooke to- deny the truth
Il would scarcely be too strong to say that untruth
is the rule - truth the exception, with him. He
procured passage from England to this country,
and got himself employment here IN the practice
Of a subtle system OF deception fllsehood and
fraud. He has been notorious gambler. These
things suppose he has confessed. Andhe ought
to have the benefit of the confessions, as soon as
there is any evidence of his forsaking. But the
evidence is to the contrary, in regard 10 his We
racity. While preaching in Panton he was con-
yicted Of falsehood, and was let off by pfiestly
ehicanery, These things are mol. said to Injure
the man, but to save truth and Christianity from
suffering by his identity with them: | meddie
with him in this matter as priest, not as man.
Il IS NV honest and candid conviction that there
be villain % unwhipt Of justice" in Vermont,
James Ten Brooke is one. view his former
gambling to have been a small thing compared
with his present hypocriticsl conduct as priest
Of sectarianism. Nothing but an imperative cor
viction Of duty. owed 10 as many as are liable to
Be imposed upon BY him could cOnstrain me to say
those things.

10 see M. Clay elected Presidentof me United
States He knew that the result OF the Caucus
would be (as il has turned out TO BEL virtually
a Legislative Caucus nomination oil MI
Van Buren,. This Of course, he knew
would be fatal 10 the pariy's success. lie
did not wish the enemies of the Republican
cause to have il in their power 10 stigWatlse The
National Convention 10 be held at Baltimore, as
Fan Bmen Convention, met together to
enactihe solemn farce Of rafJying Legislative
Caucus nomination of this distinguished gentle
man previously made at Washington. MI.
Tyler no doubt desired him 10 be nominated
under circumstances TO give some faint hope,
some slight encouragement, 10 the parry Of de-
feating Mr.. Clay.
Mr.. Blair wishes 10 know how he could have
been defeated except "by coalition b, tween
the minority Democrats and The Wings 2" We
will tell him. IL was only necessary for the
party TO have known his political sins as wea
we do. He hnors that in The House his game
1
| would have been exposed. The Wings would
gradually have united in his support, and the
| Democrats would have then deserted him and
we believe before the balloting, bad been con
cluded that nearly The entire Democratic vote
would have been cast against him, and nearly
| all the Wing vote for him. This is the result
! Mr. Tyler desired 10 achieve. We are assured
if there is one thing he loves in the world, II is
justice.
| We leave Mr.. Slamm to fight his own battles
with The Globe. He is able 10 do it. We Will
only remark that Mr.. Slamm is the editor Of the
Van Buren, organ Of The city of New York.
Whence The attack? Is there disatection in
the Van Buren, church? We await develop
| ments.
| We intended to quote extracts from the Globe
to show the mitab!e abuse heaped by that
print on the President, during The last twelve
months, but we have not the room.
| We regret this controversy. The editor OF the
Globe is anspcrabie for IL. lie must not expect
10 indulge his petty passions at Others expense.
| If Mr. Blair werean isolated man, we would, OF
course, care nothing about him.
| But he has been promoted 10 the Office Of Po-
| lilical IIandculfer General.

TEXAS.

The accounts from Texas this morning are impor
tant indicating disposition the part of the PEG
pie of that republic be admitted into the union
Whether their wishes will be gratihed, we suppose
will depend upon the American and English abo-
lonists. John Quincy Adams and host of others,
of the same kidney, last May, pledged themselves 10
dissolution Of the union before they would submit
to II and convention in Vermont, few weeks ago,
adopted a resolution of similar import
II is not our purpose now TO enter into an argument
touching the merits of the question Whenever it
comes up in Congress, we have no doubt i, will,
party ties we trust may be dissolved before it, and
the south stand united as TO the policy duty shall
impose The proposition in the minds Of the peo'
Pile, cannot breed two opinions, abolition aside.
The question is not what il some years ago.
1t now resolves itself into this Shall Texas be an
t-slayery state under the patronage Of Great Britain
shall it form integral part Of the United States
The people of Texas themselves, look upon ii in this
light; and, contemplated it is of vast and en-
during importance 10 the well-beng, not only of the
SOUTH but of the whole country north and south. 1t

and manufactures Of cities security in the
gulf of Mexico; our revenue laws 1t is in short,
a subject whose influence may last for ages, not
Of temporary consequence.

We have read this document, as we think, with
some care at any rate with considerable candor,-
and we hesitate not TO express our conviction that 1t
in all respects merorious State papeI-well de-
serving tie perusal Of every American patriot. In
respect 10 it. style (after all matter entirely subor
dnaie, we really think it will advantageously com
pare with majority Of its predecessors, and this we
take it, is aging much in IFS favor as can well be
said With reference 10 Mr. Tyler's polt-
cal views set forth, in his Message, we
Of cordially subscribe to them-and We
are of opinion every Democrat in the country will
be prompt to do the same. We think the tone OF the
Message the subject Of foreign relations, es-
peclally masculine and yigorous-and what is said
IN regard TO the bombasc threat held out by W rcO
in case Congress should pas certain measures we
deem to be emphaically proper and well-timed.-
On the whole, candIdy inclined 10 the belief
that few Messages have eyiDced more Of true judg-
Inent on the part Of their authors than the late Mes
sage of JOHN TYLER-and this conviction suspect
is becoming somewhat prevalent throughout the
country.

on the 4th insianis
sThe Board Of Commissioners appointed by INC
last Congress 10 test inventions for preventing
explosions of steam boilers, finished their report
this morning. They have expended SIC OO0 IN
experiments. The preference is, ] am informed,
Given TO the invention Of Maj Raub, full descrP

ago.
Whilst the foregoing was confined 10 the limits oil
the paper In which il originally published, II was
not thought necessary 10 notice II but as II has since
appeared in the Spectator Of this city, and probably
in MANY other papers, is deemed proper to declare
that the whole Of the pretended information is assue
Of false hoods. The Commissioners have not yetcom
pleied their experiments, although they are on the
eve Of doing SO they have not commenced their re-
port nor have they expended onetcnth part OF eish-
teen thousand dollars.
As respects the relative value Of the APPARATUS
which has been tried the Commissioners have abb
stained from every expression Of opinion, even to
each other waiting until all the recorded observe

the Convention, | have thought proper TO en-.

throughout the Union The Democratic friends of
Mr.. Tyler contemplate no other 'pan Of operation" by
which to bring that gentleman before the National
Democratic Convention, than the good old Democ attic
plan of free discussion of his merits before The People;
being perfectly confident that by such plan Of
operation" his chance will, if fairly dealt by be
fully equal to, if not better than any other can
ddate who is now before the nation. Having per-
feet confidence in the wisdom and independence
of the Democracy, ask plan of election
eerng, no plan Of operaon,, by which to pack con-
vention pledged to the support of any man, and all
we do ask is that the National Convention be not
made of violent parsans, then will the sterling vr-

We are perfectly confident that Mr.. Tyler himself
would not consent to any other action the part Of
