TEXAS.

II will be reeoected that during the last sea-
son, the aboliIionists Of Texas, (instigated un-
occasionally by their brethren of the north, sent
a messenger by the name Of Andrews to make
some arrangement with England TO procure aid
to abolish slavery in Texas. Mr. Andrews cali
ed upon Lord Aberdeen aud suggested the plan
of forming a society or club in England, and such
club 10 advance sum ofmoney equal to the pnr-
chase Of all The Texan slaves, for which the so
ciety should be amply secured in lands 10 Texas,
and the Texan Government on this being effect
ed, to abolish slavery in Texas-to which Lord
Aberdeen agreed, provided the commerce of the
New Republic should be given to England. We
ask now what object have the British in this pro-
ject2 Is il their pure phiIan hropy for the poor
negroes of Texas z Who believes it7 Is il moi TO

Southern States, and make Texas the receptacle
Of all slaves who should escape from The States.

GEsLER's CoNFEssIoN.--Our readers will recol-
lect The trial and conviction of Gesler German
Tor the murder OF Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, at Oldfeld
l.. /. The evidence on which he was convicted
seemed SO ve'y slight that public subscription was
got up to deray the expense of carrying the matter
to higher court His guilt, however has since
been confessed. The following narrative was given
by himselfto the sheriff:
'My name is Stephen Keen, and was horn IN
Germany. enlisted in the German army.of INV own
accord and after serving short time deserted; and
for fear OF being taken, changed my name and come
TO inns country On the second Sunday after my ar.

heard him counting money! and this tempted me 10

Mrs Smith was sitting opposite to him. and sat be-

bodies lay, aid found Mr. Smith living on The FIRE
partly consumed, and saw vein in Mrs Smiths arm

then on Mrs. Smith. Hooked at them and wept /

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN TEXAS.

number Of Texas papers, received within
the last few weeks, show that the People hav,
been thrown into considerable commoIion by the
recent revelation of the intentions Of the British
Government, made by Lord Brougham and the
Earl Of Aberdeen in Parliament. The remarks
of the A" noble lords" are copied by all the pa.
pers in Texas and if the press may be regard
ed as the exponent Of the popular sentiment,
the designs Of the British Government have
filled the People with alarm and Indignation.
1t is apprehended that the fear of being sub
jected TO British domination will check-if not
eTtinguish-the emigration from the Southern
States of the Union, whence Texas derives its
wealth ADD population.
On the other hand, several presses. which are
regarded as the organs Of the Government, are
teeming with articles going to show that how
ever much the ErecutiUe Department Of the
Government Of the United States may be dis
posed 10 interpose between the Texans and their
inplacable enemies in the South, let its inten.
lions have ever been, and will probably continue
to be, frustrated by the Legislative branch Of IN,
Government, and the constant Efforts of tn,
Abolition fanatics TO counteract any mpasur,
proposed for their relief; while, at the sam,
time, these writer's 1--WE cannot believe they ar,
our brOtbers-nariye Americsns-) strive insidi
ously TO produce pariality for Great Britain
whose Government they state, has " both the
'OiH and The obiity" 10 relieve them Of ali
their embauassments," and promptly inter
pose between them aud their enemies"
We hope and trust no precipilale step will b,
taken by the Texan Government Its true tina
our Government has not bilhero practically
eyinced the deep interest which we k,,oc IN,
People feel, and have always felt. in the welfar
and future destiny of The young Republic: bu
/ il cannot be disguised that the designs Of Eng
land recently avowed, have reused the Peopl
# the Uniied States from their lethargy, an
we doubt not that all the branches Of our Govern
menl will now move promptly aud harmonioui
/ ly in The matter.
The People Of Texas are bone Of our bon
and flesh Of our assb." American valor an
American arms achieved their independence
and surely our brothers and our sons, after hay
ing won the boon Of freedom for themselves 10
their children 10 another land, will not now in
gloriousy submit to have rveted upon them tn
chains Of British oppression which our commo
ioreiathers rent asunder in 1776.
