LATEST FROM TEXAS.

We have New Orleans papers dated 9Th De-
cember, which contain items OF intelligence
from Texas, received on the 4lh.
1t will be remembered that the Intelligencer,
a few days since, quoted the HoUsToN TEI.E-
GRAPH, to show that the People and Government
of Texas were opposed to the project of annex
alton Now, it would appear by the following
quotation from the last Telegraph, which is
copied by the New Orleans papers, that the
garbled extract given in the lnteigencer, was
calculated, if not designed, TO lnislead its read
From the .Ns,p Orleans Republican, Dec. 5.
The Houston Telegraph intmates that large ma
iority of members of both houses of Congress are in
favor of the annexation of Texas to the United
States. That paper in specializing on this SUBJECT
says that Notwithstanding the indirect admissions thai
hare been made By the intimate friends ofhe Erecure,
that he opposed to aneration are stu confident that
he reallu desires that the may be effected lie may
be restrained by some pledge to the British Gorern-
m e,t from openly advocating The measure bu # pro-

eper is question that ,c probably not be agtat in our

The Telegraph according TO the lntelll-
gencer's admission is the 'ofhcial journal OF
the Administration J" and hence, if there should
be no mistake in relation TO what is said Of Pre-
sdent Houston, il Is evident that great inJus-
tice has been done him by his American coun-
,rymen, in creditng the rumors to his prejudice
which first appeared in the New Orleans To

TYLER TYRANNY.-We have never yet heard oil
situation in any business, under any master, upon
any salary or under any conceivable circumstances
which does not seem infinitely preferable to holding
an office under John Tyler Mere oppression, being
forced to do difficult things, is in itself slight mat
ter To be ruled, never despotically, by any man
whose power and ability gives dignity to his tyranny
is cndurable But cannot conceive how any per-
son of the least manlness the slightest self respect or
personal independence, submit to the INFINITE de-
gradation not only of holding office at the Will oil
John Tyler, but of being daily pulled by the nose by
the least and lowest Of his pimps and panders'-

Such is the language which This man OF "per-
sonal independence" holds in reference to al'
persons holding office under the Administration
We ask this "person" of such subllmated "self
respec,n to answer US these simple questions
Has he not written the President beseechne
letter for the appointment of Postmaster at New
York Was he destitute of manhneSs,
q" selErespect," and "personal independence
when he penncd that letter? Or, did he debase
himself TO "intinite degradation" IN making
the application.
Again: Would he not have accepted the office
if his prayers had been heard, and been as yea
lous in support of the President as he Is now in
opposition 10 him?
Such plain, and simple, and to him, very IN
telligib!e questions, the Colonel surely cannot
fail to answer.

DIR COMPLIMENTS TO MR.. BLAIR.

BEGGING 10 assure him that the following
sentence in his article of yesterday is consider
ed as a compliment:
In one brief editorial article of the Madisonian
of November %, written, as we think from ITS tex
ture, by Mr. Enthusiastically not by the feeble
pen of John Jones,) we are mathematical TO The
ratberina-n members of Congress in terms sufficient
l. strong to sarte the Of the frmest friends
We will do the editor the justice to admit
whether extored by malice, or arising from
conviction of the truth Of the assertion, founded
on the many SANDERS poured into the ear Of the
editor, it is certainly fatlering t. our vanity
Similar compliments have been paid by the
Globe on various occasions but until now our
excessive modesty has prevented US from taking
anv public notice Of them. We believe, how
ever. this modern improvement in the art Of po-
litical warfare, originated with the Clay Wings,
in whose camp the editor of the Globe has been
occasionally admitted, for the purpose of study
ing the most approved mode of attack on Mr..
Tyler's Administration.
But to appropriate these compliments thus
placed within our reach, 1t Is incumbent on us
TO perform the unpleasant duty of stripping all
VI
torial laures so generously entwined about their
bows by their enemies. And it is rather re-
markable fact, that in every instance when the
Globe and the Clay papers have attributed arli-
cles to The different Secretaries, and designed
10 be exceedingly severe on US, by illusions to
our feeble PEN" the effect produced was pre-
cisey the reverse of what was intended.
If the readers of those journals shall, for a
time. believe such calumnies, JonN JONES has,
at all events, the satisfaction Of hnOutRg them
TO be calumnies-and also the consolation to be-
lieve that if the humble productions OF his pen
are so frequently attributed to the ablest men o!
the country, that time and perseverance will uI-
timately do him justice.
We embrace this occasion, however, 10 say,
that. so far as we are advised, the Secretaries
who have been charged with writing the articles
sufficiently strong to startle the nerves" OF the
Presidents enemies, have never signlhsd TO us
their disapprobation of them.

HON. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
Mr.. Enron: As the "sage Of Braintrec" is looked
upon by his many admirers in the light Of literary
luminary of the first magnitude, may | trespass
for once upon your columns, aud claim an insertion
for the following article in relation to him, which
lately appeared in the "Catholic Telegraph" publish
ed at Cincinnati Ohio.
How man like John Quincy Adams who, it has
been supposed is well read and ripe scholar could
have jt,u,drcd upon bject like that for which he
has been 50 severely rasped by the Telegraph, and
which, to say the least of it, he has had the impru-
dence to tamper with, is, indeed wonderful TO think
Of II is only another evidence added to the many al
ready recorded in the annals of human ralty and folly
Of the way some men acquire great honors and great
names without corresponding merits, and that fac
titious claims TO highsounding titles, created by the
mere force Of circumstances sure, at one time or
another, TO find their level from which they should
never have risen by either nattery or pride.
Alas for The his oricai crudition Of John Quincy
Adams after this. lie had better stick to his hobby

rather tough gentlemen to tilt WITH where the goose
