ting Texas to this mighty republic, has aroused a
jealousy throughout Europe, OF which even you
are not aware The meeting OF the great sovr-
| reigns, which is 10 be held few weeks hence, Is
for The express purpose OF checking that increase
of territory which 50 many Of our representatives
are anxious T. promote; and will be followed by a
that the United States shall not either by ntgotla-
uon or force, approach one inch nearer To Mexico,
nor send her armed citizens beyond her southern
| frontier, or across the Rocky Mountains. Thus
has the il-timed ambition OF a few demag, CUES,
raised jealousy against our country which lutte
while ago would MOI have been thought possible |;
but France, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, are now
determined 10 JOIN the rest OF Europe in preventing
the vast population of the United States from hav-
ing that dictatorial power, which the gold of Mex-
/ co would certainly give il and the French and
British ambassadors will soon communicate this
determination 10 our president if thev have not al
| ready done Il. ONE IN THE SECRET
The idea that the sovereigns OF Europe intend 10
hold Congress, amongs. other measures tor the
prevention Of the annexation Of new territory TO
| the United States, is plausible enough. The recent
| Mexican documents published in this Countrywide
letters OF Santa Anna and Of the Secretary OF Stale
inviting the Intervention OF European powers TO
| prevent the United States from annexlng Texas,
| would certalHly seem to warrant the supposition
| that some such measure that alluded to by this
| correspondent in contemplation, and the ldea
| acquires greater pausibiliy when we consider the
conduct of the British and French newspaper press
and the leading members OF the government OF
| those countries. II is also not at all unlikely that
the late visit Of the Emperor of ussia 10 England
may have had some reference to this matter; it Is
certain, at all events, that Russia claims great
part of the northwestern territory OF this CONTINENT
which must OF COURSE In process OF time, be gra-
dually absorbed by the United States in their pro-
| gress to power and dominion.
But there is another reason to induce the belief,
that the powers of Europe would gladly avail them
selves of any pretext to create jealousy and oppos
ton to this country in Europe, and excite all sorts
| Of prejudces against our Institutions and policy
The United States, in consequence ofthe vastly in
creased facilities of communication between our
shores and the old world, exercise an influence
the desPotisms Of Europe, somewhat akin to thar
exercised by the French Republic before Napoleon
became Emperor. Our success-our increasing
wealth-our growing prosperity and power, are re
voutonZlng the opinions OF the great masses Of
| the old world Every Presidential message, which
is republished in England and France, and all over
Europe, Is revolutionary document, producing
| far more powerful effect than the revolution in
France. The sublime spectacle, which this coun-
/ try presents, OF twenty millions OF ffeemen, enjoy
ing, under the blessed influence of sef-government
| an unexamped degree Of national and individual
prosperity, without neutrality-suspicious. an arts
| tocracy-wlthout privileged classes-without an
established church-without any Of the feudal and
oppressive institutions of the dark ages-s, at this
moment, producing a tremendous revolution in
| he kingdoms of the old world And the
assemblage of Congress of the potentates OF Eu-
rope, under the preext of opposing the annexation
Of Texas, would be merely effort to create pre-
JUDGES against this country, and to prevent the
| spread of republican principles amongst their op-
pressed people. The idea of such Congress hav.
ing the slightest power to prevent the annexation is
| too aughable to be entertained for a moment. II
the United States and Texas are unanimously in
| favor of that act, it can be done in twenty-four
hours, and all the combined powers OF Europe
could not prevent 1t.
1t Is very evident, from all these matters con-
| nected with the Texas question in Europe, that
the civilized world is assuming new charac
ter the masses of intelligence and christianity are
| forming themselves into two great camps-the
| on this continent and the other the old. In less
than quarter of century, we will the old
governments OF Europe leagucd together as one
man against this country, its institutions, its gov
eminent, its PRINCIPLES, and every thing connected
with il. At the same time we are now slowly,
quietly but surely, effecting revolution amongst
| the masses in Europe which will eventually sweep
away such hypocritical reformers as O'Connell
and all the rotten monarchies and tyranncal dynss
ties which have weighed the people to the dust
| Posr OFFICE MlsMANAsEMgNr We had OF late
SO many complaints from subscribers in relation
to the mismanagement of the Post Office affairs,
that we could not attend to them Individually at all
and we perceive that we are not alone in this
matter, but that many of our contemporaries have
equal cause for grumbling Weifnd the following
in the Courier & Enquirer Of yesterday
To our WEEKLY suB,cRrsERs.-we have received al
most every day several weeks past from the eastern
and northern sections of the Unisn complaints from our
subscribers that week paper does not reach them

We have no doubt that all this is correct, for we
have abundant evidence in our possession Of its
accuracy. In fact we believe that the Post Office
Department during the last eighteen months or two
years, has deteriorated more than any other de.
partment of the government in ten times the time
whilst it has been under the mismanagement Of Mr..
Wickllfe. His laundering, careless, uncourteous,
uncompromising spirit has, it seems. been commu-
nicaed to all his immediate subordinates, and PAL
tcularly to all those who have been placed in Of.
