opinion that Texas would be annexed to the U.
Statrs2 / answer, yes; and this opinion has
moi been adopted without reflection, or with
out careful observation OF causes, which,
believe, are rapidly bringing about this result.
do moi know how lar these causes have made
the same impression on others, but am per-
suaded that the time is not distant when they
will be felt in all their force. The eTcitement
which you apprehend may aIise; but it will be
temporary, and in the end saiuiary."
He lodges the constitutional objections as
follows:
81 am, as you know, strict constructions
Of the powers Of our Federal Governments and
do not admit the force OF mere precedent to
establish authority under written constitutions.
The power conferred by the constitution over
our foreign relations, and the repeated acqusi-
tons Of territory under it, seems TO me to leave
this question open, as one of cxpediency.
"But YOU anticipate objections with regard
TO the subject of slavery This is indeed sub
ject of ertrcme delicacy, but IL is one on Which

am of different opinion. believe ii will
bring about better understanding of our rela-
tive rights and obligations"
In conclusion, he says:
"Having acquired Louisiana and Florida, we
have an interest and frontier on the Gulf Of
Mexico, and along our interior to the Pacific,
which will not permit us to close our eyes or
fold our arms with Indifference to the events
which few years may disclose in that quarter.
We have already had one question Of boundary
with Texas; other questions must soon arise,
under our revenue laws, and on other points OF
necessary intercourse, which il will be difficult
to adjust. The Institutions of Teras, and
her relations tciih other GorerRments, are yet

not al all. There nrc numerous tribes of In

come the cause or the instrument of border
wars. Our own population is pressing onward
to the Pacific. No power can restrain il. The
pioneer from our Atlantic seaboard will soon

The MIsERIEs OF MILLERIsM.--Mrs Chase,
the wife OF Captain Chase, of this city, once
very worthy, amiabe and intelligent person,
fond mother and an af1ecionate wife, is now
victim to the Miller delusion-a raving maniac.
She had been attending the second advent
meetings in this place for several months;
when the errors of that one idea, the end of the
world, took possession of her mind, and reason
iorsook its throne, perhaps forever.
The first indication of her alteration was in
dressing up her little ones, five in number Che
youngest but three months old,) and sitting
them in row, side by side, telling them that
Christ would soon appear TO take them up TO
The skies. 1t was the last act approaching
kindness which the little sufferers have received
from their strange but once kind mother. She
has since attempted 10 take their lives, and in
stead of kisses and careSses which they were
wont to share, they are now obliged TO flee
her fiendish grasp. The misery and suffering
OF this once happy family, can only be aPpTe,,
ciated by those who are compelled day and
night to witness it, Cleveland, co., Plain
dealer.
