air, and gave three loud and exuIting

truth Of the matter. Mr. Davis in his
reply says. 81 answer, in the most un.
qualified sense, that, FROM BOTTOM TO TOP
IN ITS LENGTH AND BREADTH, IT Is

Of his latest was q story that Mr., CLAW
had Joined the Aboilionisls and was 90

Mr.. Giddngs had read on the stumpR
letter from Mr.. Clay approving his
course, and the general views OF tho Ah.

frightened the venerable Neslor Of Van

called aloud for tho publication of Mr.

reached Mr. Glddings in an Ohio States
man, and Mr. G., promptly wrote a let
ter to Father Richie, which must have
exorlcd a highly soothing effect on his
nerves Mr. Giddlags had received no
icHer al all from Henry Clay, and never
pretended to have any. But he did re-.
celye and read letter from CasSias M.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN TEXAS.

A number OF Texas papers, received within
the last few weeks show that the People have
been thrown into considerable commotion by the
recent revelation OF the intentions Of the BRUSH
Government, made by Lord Brougham and the
Earl Of Aberdeen in Parliament. The remarks
of the " noble lords" are copied by all the pa
pers in Texas and if The press may be regard
ed rs the exponent of the popular sentiment,
the designs of the British Government have
filled the People with alarm and Indignation.
Ii is apprehended that the fear Of being sub
jected TO British domination will check-if not
extingush-the emigration from the Southern
States Of the Union, whence Texas derives its
wealth and population.
On the other hand, several presses, which are
regarded as the organs Of the Government, are
teeming with articles going to show tina, how
ever much the Executive Department Of the
Government Of the United States may be dis
posed 10 nterpose between the Texans and their
implacabe enemies in the South, yet its inten-
lions have ever been, and will probably continue
to be, frustrated by the Legislative branch of the
Government, and the constant Efforts of the
Abolition fanatics 10 counteract any measure
proposed for their relief; while, at the same
time, these writers 1--WE cannot believe they are
our brothers-na'ive Americans strive insidi-
ousIy to produce parliaIity for Great Britain,
whose Government, they state, has {" both the
uiH and the ability" TO relieve them g. of all
their embarrassments, and promptly inter
pose between lhtm AID their enemies"
We hope and trust no precipilate step will be
taken by the Texan Government. II is true that
our Government has not hher.o practically
evinced the deep interest which we know the
People f 81, and have always felt, in The W, flare
and future destiny of The young Republic: but
1t cannot be disguised that the designs of Eng.
land recently avowed, have reused the People
# the United States from their letharpy. and
we doubt not that all the branches of our Govern
ment viii now move promptly and harmonou, ).
ly in the matter.
The People Of Texas are bone Of our bone
and flesh OF our Desh.' American valor and
American arms achieved their independence
and surely uur brothers and our sons, after hay-
ing won The boon of ire, dom for themselves and
their children in another land will not now in
