The furry" seems to be subsiding. Probably
the two objects sought by the report have been
gained-so far as they can be ganed--the agta-
ton Of the money market and the agitation of the
public mind-the first, for the purpose of enabling
somebody to buy stocks little lower, and the
other, to save Mr. Clay from the necessity of de-
fning his position on the subject. 1t was doubt
less hoped that an extra show Of zeal, and even
desperation, against Texas, by his most unscrupu-
lous and devoted paltizans at the north would
answer the purpose Off telnt, and prevent the too
searching application ofthe screws to the living
epbodment.p
The New York American of Friday, has advi-
ces from Washington to the Goth, "that sort of
pass has been given to the question for the pres
ent, and hopes are entertained that it may be rut
aside" he does not say abandoned, but M,
aside" for convenient season.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser says that soon after
Gen. Henderson arrives, the treaty will he laid
most positive manner, and from certain intorma-
ton, that the treaty will not be ratified.
That is good, so far as it goes. Perhaps it will
prove so. The writer for the Journal of Com
merce says" learn from the best authority, that
all the Senators from slave holding states ,oM not
vote for annexation. So that bugbear is got rid Of
1t is, nevertheless, to be serious question before
add, until slavery is abolished in both countries.
The New York ExprcSA~says there is now no
immediate danger of the ratification Of the treaty
by the senate--that nothing but agitation will be
attemped-that many of the senators are amazed
at the currency given to reports, SC.
1t also speaks of "the provdenhaI discovery of
the plot'' for the annexation made it the inter
est OF all parties" to--what? Forswear Texas?
NO, but" to put by the discussion of it till af-
ter the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS when
either Mr. Clay or Mr. Van Buren, would be presi-
dent. DO our readers need to be informed what
motives-what Piled GES-wll be required by
the shareholders from both these men and their
friends before they viii CONSENT to put it off until
after election.
Another mystery we should like to have solved
by the Boston Atlas and Salem Gazette How
comes 1t to pass that there was occasion for such
a tremendous alarm as they manifested last week,
when the wing party has so strong majority in
the Senate, and it takes two thirds vote in that
body to ratlty the treaty? The only solution is.
that there is so little confidence reposed bv the
Wing party in each other. that they are in contn-
ual fear OF some such deadly treachery from one
another.
Observe-the Wing party has its picked men in
the Senate, in the proportion of about four to
three, and yet the Wings, all through the North
have been in panic all the week, for fear the
treaty OF annexation should be carried by vote of
two to three. And yet these papers have been
GENEROUSLY demanding our votes to put more
power into their hands, to keep out Texas. Out
upon such trickish efrontery-such barefaced
knavery.
letter of General Jackson appears in the Globe,
going strongly for annexation, and avowing ali
that has been charged upon him with regard to
his efforts to secure it, This, of course, binds the
consciences of all the faithful of that party, in his
case, except those who dependant for voiers at
home. And as Mr.. Van Buren, seeks no " glory, -
and has no guide, but to " follow in the Footsteps
of General jackson, we4now where to find him
and his admnstra.on--shoutsi he GET it.
Our own opinion is that SIX THOUSAND
LIBERTY VOTES, given last week in New
Hampshire, will have more effect than as manv
tons of paragraphs in Wing and Democratic news
papers, who recognize the most INSCRIPTIONS an
neXationlsts as being just as good and worthy "a
wing or democrat, as the most strenuous opDo-
hent who clamors for votes at the North.
And we will venture to say that if Connecticut
VIII do as well next week as New Hampshire has
done the last it will Ito more to deter the abettors
OF the scheme than all other means now in opera
ton. For it is now clear, by the admission or
implication of both Wings aud Democrats that
the Senate is not to be trusted an inch on their
own integrity and that, except for the strength of
the Liberty Party, the slave holders can carry the
measure noW if they dare to press it-Emanc,pa-
