Presidency, in The event of his being the choice
Of he People. But they claimed the ame right
for Mr.. Tyler 10 the support Of The party, pro

alphabetically stated by the Madisonisn, more
than year ago, and al the time the GLOBE com
menced its assaults on the Administration.
But the Globe aud It's followers decided that Mr..
Tyler's name should not be introduced IN the
Convention These facts are known to The
whole country, and we can produce papers and

The italicized lines are designed as an appeal
10 the sympalhies Of the Democratic members

| The British Minister of Foreign Affairs de-
clared on the floor OF Parliament that mt gotta
4 lions were ON foot between the Governments Of
abolition Of slavery in the latter country; IN Ie-
ply to an anxious inquiry to the progress OF
The negotiation, he declined, frosn prudential mo-
lives, as he said, TO make any disclosures, but
minated TO the friends Of abolition that he en-
terlained great hopes Of success, and that the
matter should be pressed g by urging the nego-
tia,ions, as lfeN as by eue,y other means IN
their po,oer." He could have had no motive
for publicly making declarations Of this kind,
which were false, and ii is not the custom foi
the Ministers of the British Government TO com
nit themselves unnecessarily in Parliament, OF
to the country. They generally mean great
deal more than they say
The Texas papers, even those which admit
that there is no evidence offreasonnble conduct
on The part Of their administration, still complain
of an unwonted and suspicious degree of secre-
cy and mystery in the negotiations which
are ON foot. Ii there be any such negotiations,
having the alleged objec, in view, is it al all
likely that tn would BE- fully revealed, in con-
tidencc, TO the diplomatic representative of the
very country whose interests and welfare We're
to be compounded, or indirectly assailed, by
the contracting parties? Even Texas diploma
cy, without the aid of British experience and
caution, or Mexican subllety, would hardly be
guilty Of an act of such childish imbecilty.-
Texas is IN lis infancy as nation, buI
its Government is Composed ri bearded men,
possessing, we imagine, not more than an
average share of unsophstcated ingenious
ness. The idea that the British Govern
ment is carrying on negotiations with Govern
ment which would violate even decent reserve,
by exhibiting It's diplomatic correspondence 10
the American Charge, is preposterols. If any
such correspondence was exhibited, unless foi
the purpose Of more effectualIy lulling suspicion
as to something which was withheld, it renders
Lord Aberdeen's prudential silence in Parla
ment mere farce, and is an affront TO the Brit
ish Government which that Of Texas could have
no motive for offering, at least unless perfectly
sure of annexation to this country.
II must be rare state of things, indeed, il
Texas, according to this patched-up summary
Of the Intelligencer. Its diplomatic correspond
ence With one Government is exhibited TO the
Charge Of another, like specimen of manufac
lures, or choice agricultural product, and pub
licly pronounced 10 be highly creditabe TO SC
young country. Whatever President Hous
toms policy may be, we have no reason to be-
lieve that he is simpleton. If he is trifing with
the British Government he would hardly let j,
be known through the newspaI ers of Texas: il
he is not trihng with it, he would hardly sub
nit his diplomatic correspondence with il to oul
Charge, to be publicly commented on.
