Such is the manly tone and unequvocal language
OF the leading journal Of State II is indeed the
language Of patriotism and truth and proceeds from

Union itself in imminent danger, that The press n,,,

CONNECTICUT.

We apprehend no candid man can fail to adj
NIT that Mr.. Tyler is as firmly devoted to the
principles Of our Republican fathers, and has
made as many sacrifices, and encountered as
much persecution in their support, as any man
living. 1t Is not becoming in us to speak of
ourself, as an humble supporter Of the Pre-
sident, but we confidently appeal to the columns
Of the Madisonian in evidence Of the fact that
we have labored diligently in the cause Of
Republicanism--for success Of the Democratic
party, ifyou please. These things being conce-
ded, we are prepared 10 inquire, in the spirit of
capdor and truth, for the path Of duty in this
important crisis. 1t will be borne in mind by
our friends in Connecticut that for eighteen
months subsequent to the vEToEs, the Democra-
tic party were loud in their praise of President
Tyler, and that his friends every where united
with the Democratic party, and by their co-ope-
ration, pu, down the Wings in almost every

State of the Union. The leaders Of the party
thus restored to power, regardless of the obliga-
lions Of duty and patriotism, with the view Of
securing the restoration of MIR. Van BuMn,
cemmenceda bitter war upon Mr.. Tyler andeis
friends. That wal, it will be remembered,
was kept up by the leading Democratic organs
until the State Conventions had met, and ap-
pointed their delegates with instructions 10 vote
for Mr.. Van Buren,. During this period OF fu-
rious warfare on their part. the friends
of Mr.. Tyler demonstrated, and suppl
Gated the leaders to pause in their unjust course,
and save the Democratic party from certain de-
feat circumstances were disregarded, and
our applications treated with contempt. The
objects Of the leaders once secured-the
Convention packed-the leaders forbear 10 at
tack the Administration, and seek, o. the eve of
the elections in Connecticut and Virginia, 70
concilia,e the friends Of Mr.. Tyler, so far as is
compatible with their party objects; proclaining
in advance, that success in Connecticut and
Virginia will be conclusive evidence Of Mr.. Van
Buren's availability, and consequently conclu-
sive of his nomination al Baltimore on the 18th
Monday Of May.
II is evident, therefore, that the friends Of
Mr.. Tyler in Connecticut have nothing to ex-
pect or hope for, in the success of the leaders in
the approaching State elections. The position
assumed by the friends of Mr.. Tyler is not one
of choice, but forced upon them as measure
Of safety and duty. by the injustice perpetrated
by those who seek to control the Democratic
party. If the cooperation Of the friends of
Mr.. Tyler in Connecticut, as is conceded on all
hands, be necessary to success, then it is obvi-
ously the duty of those friends, as we'll to
themselves as 10 friends in other States, with
whom they have heretofore co-operated with SO
much zeal, to demand, as the basis Of that CO.
operation, that "JvsTiOE TO JOHN TYLER" be
done. The obligation of Van Buren, men to defeat
the Wings, is as great as can rightfully attach
to the friends of the Administration. We
know no valid reason for requiring the friends
of Mr.. Tyler TO make sacrifices that the leaders
of the Democratic party are unwilling them
selves 10 make. Let them at once withdraw
their instructions TO the delegates, and endorse
the democracy Of John Tyler, and acknowledge
his rights as Democrat, and then the friends
of Mr.. Tyler can, in justice to him, to them
selves and friends 10 other STATES, cooperate in
securing the triumph Of the Democratic party
in Connecticut. If justice be withheld, no
man can rshfully hold them responsible for
defeat.

CONGRESS-SATURpAY.

In the House, after the reading Of the Jour.
nal, Mr.. CHAPMAN, of Alabama, rose and said
he was absent when the vote was taken on the
resolutions of Mr.. DRoMoooLE, in consequence
of asick family, and that he was anxious to re-
cord his vote in the affirmative. Mr.. WELLER
said such course was unusual, and that he
was absent at the time the vote was taken on
business, and was anxious 10 record his vote al
so in the Affirmative; but he was opposed to
the precedent. Mr. REED, of North Carolina
moved to suspend the rules to allow members,
who were absent, TO record their votes. Upon
this motion there was desire TO debate, and il
was withdrawn. Tie orders Of the day were
then called for, and the Speaker ann ounced tina,

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

The discussion Of tho annex alton Of Texas To IN.
United Ststes is exciting fcvsr throughout The
length and breadth Of the land, which i fast swal
lowing up all the minor subjects of publie peloy. nd
Is even subdung in some measure the RANGER Of party
warfare. The settL ment Of tho loDs-dfputed ripht
to the possession Of Oregon, which i now II mir
way being brought to an issue, has also dwindled
INTO lnslgnincanoe IN comparison with this nev-born
ProPosltiop and the frisnds Of National Bans Sub
Treasures, Tariff and Free Trade, have groun1sd
their arms and rallied under the banners which have
been raised for or against annexation. =
Inc Now York American, in alading 70 the rssaor
which mas recently gone abroad, that the Presidapt
was preparing treaty to be presented to the Senate
Tor rati6cation, soemnly and with great appersnt
earnestness exclaims that sehe ysi6eSei,a 81 ~
treaty IS the dissolution Of The Unio,s" This declara
ton has also been repeated and endorsed by various
other papers in the Northern States, Of equally hikh
stanoing with the American. During the. TsriG d1-
cussion Of 1882, when this same threat Of a. sols
was used by members Of Congress from the South
agensra hue and cry" Of Indignation WAS r,ised at
the North against those who uttered it. They were
even denounced as traitors to their country and
their expulsion from Congress recommended a. :
punishment for impious an assertion But Il seems
that circumstances alter cases, and now. with far
Tess real cause for the of the argument il is ap-
pied and held up as threat against measure that
can never De consummated without the cons ont Of
a large portion Of those who now oppose it.
The question whether Texas shall or shall not be
annexed to the Union, is that should be settled
as speedily possible and if the President has pro
pared treaty to be presented to the Senate for their
consideration as has been asserted he should receive
the thanks OF the enemies as well as the friends Of
the measure therefor, instead of the violent denun-
citation which has been hurled against him. II the
mere presentation of treaty was tantamount
to its ratification, the matter would be different;
but so long as the Senate has control of the sub
)ect and constitutional majority Of two-third. is
required for its ratification, which cannot be had
without the support of at least the Senators from
tho Northern States the people have nothing to fear
on the subject. The present Senate is composed Of
as minded, honorable, patriotic and enlightened
statesmen as the world can produce, and n il il
question on which political feeling party bias cam
not operate, We are satisfied that the country gene
rally are perfectly willing to leave the question en-
tirely to their disposal Whether they adopt OF re-
Jct the treaty. therefore, there be doubt but that

The EARL OF ABERDEEN, Minister Of Foreign .aC

The Earl of Aberdeen, in reply, said that he could
state that not only had this country acknow lodged
the independence Of Texas, but also that had q

there was any importation Of slaves into Texas by

ties, and ne was unable to say that there was an i'm
mediate prospect of obtaining the recognition of the
independence of Texas the part of Mexico; but it
was with great pleasure that tie was able to say that
probably the first step to this had been obtained
namely, that an armistce had been established be-

lead to the absolute acknowledgment of the indepen

important step to obtain and he need hardly say that
every effort on the part Of Her yuajrsy's Government

noble friend.
He was sure that he need hardly say that no one
was more anxious than himself to see the abolition of
