EXECU TIVE SESSION.
SPEECH OF MR.. WOODBURY..
OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In SENATE, june 4, lsH-In secret session on the
treaty TOR the annexation OF Texas to tie United
States.
The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-06-26

Will not Aboliiionists GO for the annexation 10
accomplish SO desirable result!
And now let us look at the matter In another
point of view.
The nresent laws of Texas prohibit the impor
tation of slaves from any country except the U.
States. Such laws are against the pecunlary IN
terest of Texas, because slaves can be purchased
cheaper el ephere than they can be in the United
States In Cuba, for example, slaves are cheaper,
because Cuba IS constantly supplied by new i'm
portaons from Africa.
Ii Texas remains an independent power, how
long will its people maintain laws which are
AGAINST THEIR INTEREST; laws which compel
them to buy the slaves they want, in the dearest
market; laws which cut them off from the Cuba
slave market, aohich is close by thems
Or, if these laws are nominally maintained,
how long will they be enforced? Is it not well
known that they are not enforced eren noao
On the other hand, if Texas is admitted into
Union, we shall have substantial and certain
guaranty that no addition will be made to the
number of slaves on this continent by Importation
from Cuba, or any other foreign slave mart The
United States laws forbid such importations, and
the United States laws are, and Wiu be enforced,
because large majority of the people of the Uni
ted States are now, and always will be, opposed
10 slavery.
Will not Abolitionists, then, go for the annexa-
ton, SO as certainly 70 prevent any addition to the
number Of slaves in North America, and SO to rem
der impossible, so far North America is con-
cerned, revival of the horrors and denominations

George NJ Dallas, Loco!oco candidate for Vice
President was one of the counsel of the noto-
rious Monroe Ed'oards. 1t appears that the
counsel of Edwards, after bis conviction, ertorted
from Messrs. Brown and Corre, the owners of
the stolen money found in his (Edwards') posses.
sion, a fee of one thousand fve hundred dollars,
before they would give it up, for services rem
dered by Dallas and his associate counse, in en-
deavorng to prevent the owners of the money
recovering possession of their own property. On
the conviction of Edwards this money, if he ever
had any claim to it before, was certainly not his
then; and Dallas and his associates had no right
either in law or equity to touch one cent of the
money. 1t was regular Locofoco operation.

MR.. DALLAS's B1OGRApHER.

We find the following, (says the Kennebec
Journa,) in a long and fusome biographical
sketch Of George NJ Dallas, taken from the De-
mocratic Review:
"On the Sd of March, 1898, the term expired
for which he had been elected to the Senate. At
his own request, his name was withheld from the
Legislature as candidate for reelection"
If all the assertions of the writer of this sketch
of Mr.. Dallas are as wlfully false as the above,
no dependence can be placed on the honesty of
the deineaton Of Mr.. Dallas's character, or the
accuracy of his statements. At the expiration of
his term Of service, Mr.. Dallas aoas a candidate
for reelection, but such had been his treacher-
GUS course, and servty to Gen. Jackson, that he
was unceremoniousy cast aside, after large
number of ballotings and Mr.. Mexican chosen.
The falsity of the above quotation will appear from
the following records of the first Legislature upon
whom devoIved the filling of the vacancy, which
we find inserted in the Boston Atlas:
On the 18th of March, 1888, the two Houses
Of the Pennsylvania Legislature met in Conven-
ton, for the purpose Of electing United States
Senator Tor SIX years from the preceding 18th.

Mr.. DoRR.-The Supreme Court meet again,
according to adjournment, to give the opinion of
the court on the motion in arrest of judgment for
want of Jurisdiction There can be no question
as to the decision of the judges on this point 1t
was brought up in the commencement of the trial,
and the prisoner waved all objections to the uris-
diction.
1t is principle of English common law, as old
as Magma Charta, that for sufficient cause per-
son may be removed from one county to another
for trial in the impossblity or improbabity of
procuring an impartial jury in the county where
the offence is committed.
The court will decide against postponing the
sentence, and it will probably be pronounced on
Monday and Immediately put into execution

A SIGN IN THE NoRTHWEsT.-Mr. Shnn the
Senator from the Harrison ID strict, and for many
years leading Democrat in that region, has in
All address TO the public avowed his opposition to
Polk and Dallas, and his determination to vote
for Clay. Mr.. Van Buren, was his first choice !;
but that gentleman having been cheated out Of
his nomination by Intrigue and management, and
by delegates dIsobeying the instructions of their
constituents, Mr. Shinn takes the second best,
Henry Clay.
We note this as sign of the tendency Of popu-
lar feeling in the northwest part of the State-a
region deeply interested in stable system of
protection to domestic industry. We shall not
be surprised to see the great body of the people of
that region follow the lead of Mr. Shnn.-B.
