consequence. The Union will not be dis rupted, and Texas, if the friends of annexa- ton pursue the point with steadiness and perseverance, milt be incorporated into it.-- At all events the Union is too deeply and broadly planted in the popular affections, to be unprooted by a sudden gust
 Turning from this ebnllition in the N. Y. American, of spleen, malice, and hatred of the South, we find the following paragraph Tn the Baltimore .4merican, paper of far different stamp, and which discusses all ques- tlons of public concern with fearlessness, impartiality and intelligence, that entities it 10 respect, whether its opinion be i'll or we'll founded. Our Baltimore cotemparary est- mates arlght the alternative which Is offered to the United States, VIZ. to accept of Texas as an integral part of the Republic, or to con sent that that magnificent territory shall fall in the hands of a transatlantic state.
 "TExAs.-The reported dissensions in Mir. Tyler's cabinet in reference to Texas may be truly reported or not-but there is every reason to fear that the subject of our future relations with that country will be the source of many and serious difficulties
 ''lf the question ofannexation were submit ted as simple question to be considered by itself on its own merits, it would be very different from the question which in all like lihood will come up before long. We can not dismiss the apprehension that the issue on this subject will turn upon the point whether Texas shall be dependency of Great Britain or a State of this Union-the colony of our frontier foe and present rival, or an integral portion of the Republic.
 ''it Is plain that such an issue as this n- wolves considerations of a very complex and intricate nature. We do not purpose to go into the discussion of 1t at this tme We hope to discuss 1t at no time under the in- fluence of any other feelings than such as pertains to a due regard for the national wei fare and glory. But it is proper that the public mind should be kept advised of con- tingency which may happen, so as to be in some sort prepared for it when it comcs."

as something endowed by God with the right to comfort to happiness equal to that of the capitalist, but as an eapease incidental to capital, which the capitalist cannot avoid en- tuely, but should reduce as much as possi- ble. The land owner, ill calculating the profits of the crops which he has aot pro- duced, deducts the expense of laborers, cat- tie, and implements, regarding all as chattels. The manufactures, in calculating the profit upon thousand bales of cloths, deducts the expense of his operatires and machinery, regarding both as mere instruments.
 And this condition of society, we are told by these political economists, promotes na- tional strength and glory. How? It fur nishes soldiers for armies, and sailors for fleets; 1t promotes concentration of power in the hands of politicians, and sends them to seek new quarrels, and subdue distant com munitles, i'll search of means to sustain the system. Through injustice, blood, and de- vastation, the market of China is opened. For whose benefit? For that of the capitalist, the manufacturer, the hemerchant, the politician, who kindly condescends to govern the world. But where is the reward to labor: It drudges and starves for wages, just as it did before

From tbe Nen O,leons BuIIesin.

We have said good deal at different times, but not nearly all that we intend to say, in favor of the annexation of Texas to the United States. The subject rises far above any other question of the day, and is evidently, when 1t comes fairly before the country, to be discussed with a vehemence proportionate to it's magnitude. We hear as yet but the distant mutterings of the thunder with which the opponents of the measure (enemies in many instances to the Unson, in nearly all to the South, stand ready to stun the nation when the subject shall be broach- ed in Congress. But if we may judge of what is behind by the angry sound of what we already hear, we may expect some peals of no ordinary volume and strength. The following from the .Nem Fork American, is a specimen of the suitability with which the project is met by portion of the press:
 ssThe meanest, and to the extent of his capacity and opportunities, most mischievous of public functonaries, John Tyler, medi- tates, 1t is said, recommendation to Con- gress of this project. Because such re- commendation would be both foolish and malignant, we think 1t extremely probable, for such is the character of that persons mind But that the annexation will ever be consented to by the UNITED STATES, we dc not at all believe-and certainly to the extent of our humble means and influence, it shall be resisted to the uttermost.
 As to the threat implied by the last sen- tence of the quotation. it IS of very small

As the above title sets forth, the Democra- tic party of Arkansas, acting through the Central Committee appointed for the purpose, have established 'sTHE BANNER" which IS designed to be, and will be, the organ of the party; and, by explaining, advocating, and defending the fundamental principles, and consequent policy, of the Democratic party, will contribute to the establishment and maintenance of good government.
 CHE BANNERn was commenced on the 16th of September last, and has now reached it's 18th number The services of an Edi- tor, whose name stands at the head of its columns, have been secured; and the publ- cation now stands on permanent and favo- rable foundation, and comments itself to the confidence and support of all who desire the welfare of the Democratic party, and that its principles may be disseminated 'ough the country, and faithfully sustained All admit the necessity of newspapers, to any party, for the purpose of placing their prin- ciples and policy fairly and extensively be- fore the public, of defending them against misconception and misrepresentation,- for the purpose of keeping bright and strong those bonds of harmony and good under standing, by which alone proper union and efficient organization can be secured.
 Impressed with these considerations, and to attain these desirable and necessary ends, for the Democratic party, "The Ban nero has been established Will not the Democrats sustain it The Wings have tco organs at the seat of government. Will the Democrats not have one Itis believed that they will and that they will sustain 1t llbe- rally. The following is brief summary oi what the Editor of the Banner understands. and will maintain, as the creed of the Demo- cratic party:
 The people the oaly source of legitimate power.
 The freedom sovereignty, and independence oi the respective States
 The Constitution of the Union, special grant ol powers, limited and definite.
 The Representative to obey the instructions o the constituents.
 | Elections free, and suffrage universal.
 No taxation beyond the necessary wants of an oco nomical administration of the government. | No favored classes, and no monopolies.

How Slares are liberated by England- The following Is an extract from an article in the Sierra Leone Watchman, giving an ac count of matters and things in that African colony:
 .'The manner of recruiting for this regi- ment, the third West Indian, as 1t is called, is sometimes very summary. In July, 1S42, there arrived in the harbor of Sierra Leone, a vessel with one hundred and eighty-four re-captives. They had been obtained, not from slave ships, but from slave factories on the land. They were much pleased, and ex- hibited enthusiastic joy when the ship came to anchor. They deemed their deliverance at hand. visited them immediately as they anchored; this was at Il o'clock, A. M At ? P. M. of the same day, the Governor sent an officer oil board, selected seventy-fve or eighty of the most portly and well condi- toned, and had them landed and marched directly to the barracks, where they were enlisted ill the regiment to be trained, and in due time will be sent to take their turn in the West lndies.o

STIMULATES OF GREAT MEN.

F It Is interesting to notice the different ar ticles which have been taken by the eminent men, as stimulants to the mental faculties.- It is interesting, as showing how diametri- cally opposite means may produce the same effect in various systems; and it is interest," ing as showing how much the mind sympa- thises with the body. Haller drank plenti- fully of water when he wished for great ac- tiyitv of of the the hbfsin Fox fer~ the-s nTnr= pose used brandy. The stimulants of New ton and Hobbs were the fumes of tobacco. Those of Pope and Fontanelle, strong coffee
 Dr. Johnson at one period of his life was a great wine-drnker; but in the latter part of it, found tea good substitute. Don Juan is said to have been written under the inl1u- ence of gin and water; and it is reported that certain legal lord, of great learning and talents, plies himself hard with port wine when he wishes to shine Pitt was a great drinker of wine. Sheridan was also fond of the bottle. Dr. Paris tells us that when Mir. Dunning wished to make an ex-
 raordinary display of eloquence, he always put blister on his chest a few hours before he was to speak, in order that it might ir- ritate the brain by sympathy during his speech. Boston Bee.
