TEXAS AND SLAVERY.

The Richmond Wing is one of the most
Independent, clear-sighted, frank-speaking
journals in the Union-not prudent, but ev.
err manly and National, above all local pre-
JUDGES and groveling appeals. In a late
number ofthat paper, the Editor thus speaks
of the questions agitated in this country with
regard to Texas and her Institutions:
"We give place Willingly to long, ami
mated article on the subject of Texas and
Slavery, subject destined to occupy much
of the public mind, and to awaken possibly
the most excited passions.
{" But the reasoning of the author, spe-
cious as it is, does not reach our convi .tions.
We care not who, whether British Philau
ihropists or American Fanatics, or both, are
operating in Texas and procuring the result
of the eradication of Slavery, which we be :
lieve about to ensue. We care not whether
she is to continue slave-holding, or to be
made by British Abolition influence non-slaye
holding. In either case we are opposed to
her annexation to this country on Consttu-
tional grounds, and grounds of safety and
selfdefence to those who now form the u
Mon.
ave lay down this proposition in the ut
most confidence that it is confirming to hu-
man nature, and that the event will verify it:
IF Slavery is papetuated in Texas. the North
,ciU disoiue The Union, before it ,riu consent
to The annexation If Slavery is abolished
there, as ice feel confident it riH be, then the
South will Dissolve the Union rather than to
submit to such an overwhelming acquisition
of Strength to the non-slave-holding interest
in the Federal Government!
ssTha horns of rhe dilemma are pnuallv fa
tai. There is only one way to escape this
most menacing danger, and that is to leave
Texas to herself: and if we could have any
influence with our countrymen it should be
devoted to beseech themto dismiss them now
aud forever the thought of Incorporating hei
with this Union She is an empire in terri
tory-as large as Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
New-York united-with most delicious eli
mate and gloriously fertile-able to support
population of 80 millions, and to defend
her liberties against world of arms,

GEN. WASHINGTON'S LAST VOTI

Every incident in the life of Washing
ton is full of interest. That plan heroic
magnitude of mind which distinguished him
above all other men was evident in all his
actions. Patriotism, chastened by sound
judgement and careful thought, prompted
all his public acts, and made them exam
piles for the study and guidance Of mankind.
1t has been said that no one can have the
shortest interview with truly great man..
without being made sensible of his superi-
or;tv. Of too many, who have some way
earned the title of great. this is by no means
true. Its applicability to the character of
Washington, is verified in the following in.
teresting circumstances related by cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier.
Il was present." says the correspondent,
"when General Washington gave his last
vote. 1t was in the spring of 1899, in the
town of Alexandria. He died the l4th De-
cember following. The Court House of
Fairfax county was then over the market
house, and Immediately fronting Gadsby's
tavern. The entrance into 1t was by a
slight flight or crazy steps on the outside.
The election was progressing thou
sands of persons in the Court House yard
and immediate neighboring streets; and |
was standing on Gadsby's steps when the
father of his country drove up, and lmme.
diately approached the Court House steps,
and when within yard or two of them |
saw eight or ten good looking men, from
different directions, certainly without the
least concert, spring simultaneously. and
place themselves in positions TO uphold and
support the steps should they fall in the
Generals ascent of them. l was immedi.
ately at mis- back, and in that position enter.
ed the Court House with him-folIowed in
his wake through dense crowd to the polls
heard him vote-returned with him to the
outward crowd-heard him cheered by more
than two thousand persons as he entered
his carriage-and saw his departure.
There were five or six candidates on the
bench sitting, and as the General approach
ed them, they arose in body and bowed
smilingly, and the salutation having been
returned very gracefully, the General i'm
mediately cast his eyes towards the regis
try of the polls, when Colonel Eenea'e.
think it was, said, swell, General. how do
you vote?" The General looked at the
candidates, and said, "Gentlemen, l vote
for measures not for men," and turning to
the reco ding table, audibly pronounced his
vote saw it entered-made graceful bow
and retired"
