nc1mion. HE power Of which cnnnol
we'll he eslmnlcd. Let but the HOOD
Of argument Tor aud ngoind ndills'
sion once reach tie confines 0l our
ncigibon--and II Is now setting ~
that direction with great lorcc--hnd
llo results will utterly overwhclm The
opes OF The British party IN Texas.
Ehere is not u doubt upon my mind
hat u hare maj 1rity1of the people OF
r,x,s would, NJ this moment, hail ad'
mission into our Union ns deliver
nce from IN evil far greater than
hat from which the battle OF San Ja'
into freed them. They will see IN it
an escape from British thraldom,
which every Anglo-Saxon know> how
to estimate. Let but the word g.
forth from this government to'that OF
Texas that we are ready to treat Tor
| ,nnexation, and the work is done.
The lone star Sghs even now TO be
lamong its fellows east Of the Sabine
and il longs for place in the galaxy
of freedom, whose light shall pierce
the darkness that now broods over
north ahd west Texas.
Its the only sin that | can charge
agains Gen. JAG kson, that he did not
Ilcnd the whole force of his admInlstra-
ton to insure the admission OF Tex
AS into the Union, after The final bat
lie that burst forever the manacles
which had bound h"T to Mexico.
But influences prevailed which, II
they could prevail now, would SIT by
land see British policy achieve all that
lis wished in relation to Texas. IL was
Ian error which Gen. Jackson himself
cannot fail TO regret, wien he sees the
danger TO which we are exposed Al
this moment. He put, he no doubt
; thought, the danger afar off; but il
has come back upon as with hun
bred fold strength and threatning
and that danger must now be met
and forever removed by doing what
Gen. jackson should have done after
the battle OF San Misunderstanding
; Texas into the Union.
| have never been able TO find an
excuse for The council Of the dlstln
T, guishcd success or Of Gen. Jat kson, II
: lTelation 10 the admission ol Texas, a
! The time we were asked to open tht
: door 10 let her in. 1t was an untor
! tunate adviscment, TO say the least o
= it: and il did not believe that Inc
] American people will rise in theil
! majesty, and demand the annexation
! of Texas to the Union, ! should trea'
Q Mr.. Van Buren's course, on that oc
! casion, with the haIshness that al
: evasion of duty should ever merit a
the hands of tru b.
Ii becomes every man, therefore
I who values the Union, to lend hi
c services to the achievement OF the an
nexation Of Texas, as the only mean
+ of preserving the confederacy. III
$ should exert himself to write and tall
J in its favor; TO discuss it; to examln'
it in all its bearings, pro and con; u
{ enlightcn the judgment and arous'
{. the feelings; TO call on the admins
u tration to avoid the errors OF Zen
, Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren, on TIN
= question; to rouse the government Z
G a true sense of the danger which nov
l. bescts the Union; to demand OF Pres
, TYLER that he shall interpose the ma
\ tional power to prevent British ne
q erosion on the soil Of Texas; I
II unite heart and hand with his neigh
IS Dor, in insisting upon the admission 9
% the new republic into the fraternIt
of our States, and in instructlng Cor
'e gress to go for the measure with all y
y might and main, as the only on
le which can insure the peace and pro-
s perity of the Republic. SABINE.
