Whip party should be hereafter made; and he asks,
"would this be prescriptions: This Is the language of
one whose unfalterIng patriotism, whose incorup,be
and lofty pride of character has been the theme OF every
topgue And It has been reserved for him TO exhibit,
under the purifying influences of the zone term prn-
cipe," the disgusting and dsgracefu spectacle, Of a
candidate for The Presidency promising in advance
divide the spols among his followers; thus appealing
for support not TO the the of justice in
the popular mind, but TO its basest passions lis selfish
ness and cupidity. Whatever may have been the po.

Bile, the immaculate head of the great reform party
The pledged adherent of the tone term system'-to
overlap publicly, in the face Of the world all the bar
rers oil prlnciple OF justice, and OF decency,
and to enter the Presidential canvass, pawnng and
selling IN advance the Offices and patronage of the go
vernment, 10 those whose active zeal should be full
consideration for the purchase. We hand him over to
the unqualified condemnation pronounced by the Wing
Address upon those, "who have used all the Offices OF
government but es brides and rewards for partizan
ship, and who "bestow the patronage of government
upon party grounds. That censure is aiming enough
This being the first fruit Of the one term system, il
can hardly be supposed the people will readily adoptt
1t is certainly wiser to adhere that custom, which
experience has sanctioned, than to adopt any now the
ory, which questionable form as does the
zone term principle" We have confined the answer
to the evils which said result from the present
SYSTEM without pointing out its many advantages.
These will occur TO all.
The "Address closes with warm eulogum upon
The character of Mr., Clay and avows the preference
of the Wing party Of Virginia for him, all other
men, as candidate for The Presidency. TO the Demo
crazy OF Virginia, the name of Clay has been long
most obnoxious, and there has been nothing IN his
cent conduct to soften the enmty his former misdeeds
had provoked and justified The imperious and INTO
erant temper he displayed during the late Extra SEES
sion, gives fearful appreend that his eff

his power. Gifted with almost uneqmaed talent, but
possessing boundless ambition, arbitrary temper, and
but little sense Of conscenliousness, he is the most
dangerous opponent The Democratic party have

viii be waged between Republicansm on the one side,
Henry Clay and Federalism the other. None can
doubt the issue Of such contest The virtue and pa

FROM TEyAS

FROM JENAS.
From the New Orleans Bee, OF April -, we extract
the following information, concerning the affairs OF
Texas and her relations to Mexico, TO the United
States, France, and Great Britain
BY the late arrival from Texas, we have been fur.
nished through our private correspondents, with in
forma ION of an interesting character 1t is now GER
tain that lie Governments of the United States, oil
England and Of France, have joined IN demonstrating
against the predatory war carried on by Mexico,
against Texas The instructions OF the United States
Secretary Of State, to General Thonpson Jour Minis
ter at Mexico) quite explicit in declaring the war,
as conducted by Mexico, to be contrary TO the laws OF
nations Mr. Webster asserts the undoubed right oil
Mexico to subjugate Texas, if she can, by the COM
mon and lawful means oil wnrbut that other nations
are interested, more particularly the United States, in
the manner in which the war shall be conducted.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Webster has also adj
dressed letters 10 the u 5. Charge III Texas, offer
inp to mediate between the two Powers, and TO dscou
ra ge rctaliatory Eruption into Mexico.
We understand, that the instructions oil me french
Cabinet 10 their Minister Mexico ore more peremp-
,orv and decided than those Of the u. >. or British
Goyeruments; and from the position assumed by those
powers the impression IS gaming gfoundin le1as thal
The contest is drawing 10 u close
We learn from our private Correspondence that the
Commissioners Of Texas, who arrived in New Orleans
60 ~ davs before the sailing Of the Texan fleet, had
nstruc,ions from President Houston TO demand the
vessels of war from Commodore Moore, and to apply
TO the United States authorities Tor a'd IN taxing pos
session of them case Inc IoWHiouoie feiussu u
surrender them They had likewise proclamation
from President Houston, denouncng the expedition
as pisatical and unauthorized by government IN the
event the vessels could not be taken Commodore
Moore we are informed, in;imatcd 10 The Commission
ers that he would proceed TO Galveston and have
talk with the President upon the matter, which IN
duced them TO keep quiet until he got ready to go to
sea.
One of the Commissioners went on board the Austin
with the Commodore, thinking TO have pleasant trip
to Galveston, in Government vessel; but We learn
hrouoh gentleman who also sci sail in the Austin for
Ts,,son matter ofbusiness, that the Commodore IN
formed him nj the Baze, that if he was anxious 10 get
TO Texas soon he had better get on shore, as he d'a
not expect TO be there in hurry The gentleman TOOK
the hint and left the shp-tbe Commissioner IS IN all
probability. at this time, in Campeachy The Com
modore apoogized TO the gentleman for not having IN
formed him at New Orleans, that he did not purpose
sailing for Texas, saying that it would not be prudent
70, him to have disclosed his destination at an earlier
We learn, also, that the last packet carried out an
official notification 10 Judge Eve Jour Charge IN iexaD
of his recall, and the appointment, Of VIM ) Murphy
in his place.

THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.


THE BOUNDARY QUESTION
The deep interest winch has been excited on both
sides of the Atlantic, the subject of our Northern
Boundary, since the ratification Of The late Treaty, has
given 10 enquiries and discoveries, WHICH could not
have failed 10 have been important, had they occurred
anterior TO its formation. | inclined TO think, in
deed that the result must have been different and far
more favorable to America, il we had had proper
view of the whole ground and collected the various
evidences IN behalf OF the line claimed by the United
States. The map Of Dr. Franklin, rs 1t was called,
mas bu led TO the production of other mpor'an! docp

ii'e room TO doubt tina. the line con'ended Tor by the
United States, is the true Southern Boundary OF the
BRITISH possessions. But it is not only clear that
