THEADoRE FR-ELINGHUYsEN.

The nomination of this distinguished son
cfNew Jersey (though now a citizen ofNew
York; for Vice President on the Wing ticket
is every where hailed with appreciation. He
was the last proposed of all the candidates
for that high Office, and very naturally not
the first choice of great number OF the
active politicians; but on a comparison of
notes he appeared to be the second choice OF
almost every body, and the first of many
thousands who usually stand aloof from po-
litical contests, and would hardly have been
drawn out to vote by the presentation o any
other name. AS an eminently just and true
man, intimately connected with and ardent
in many of the Literary, Religious and Phi.
lanthropic enterprises of our time, Mr.. Ere.
linghuysen enjoys the esteem and admiration
of thousands who have first resolved TO vote
since they heard of his nomination, and who
will be most active and effective support
ers after our opponents have fairly openet
upon him, as it is evident they will. There
are elements of great strength in his nomina
ton.
But Mr.. Fre~linghuysen is not merely
wise, phlanthropic, good mamie is a firm
decided, devoted Wing. He is of an honor
ed Revolutionary Wing stock and has neve
been any thing else but a Wing. He was
Wing u. S. Senator from New Jersey dunn
nearly all Gen. Jackson's Administration
and fought the battle of true liberty again'
all his mad encroachments and tyranny sid
by side with Clay, Webster, and Ewing, {
ardentIy and fearfessly as any of them. II
resisted the destruction of the Bank, the RI

ures which bro't down general paralysis al

IMPORTANT FROM MExICo.-An arrival at
Savannah on the 18th inst. has put the edi-
of the Republican in possession of Hav-
ana papers one day later than those noticed
in our last. Among them is the Diario de la
Marine, of the Sth inst, containing dates
from the city of mexico to the 25th and
from Vera Cruz to the Both ultimo, which
were brought 20 Havana by the British
mail steamer Teviot. From an article, says
the National Intelligencer, in the Diario, it
appears that at just about the same time the
treaty OF annexation was signed in Washing
ton city, the Diario del Gobierno de Meiico
remarked as follows:
"What the Hesperia and the Corroe
Frances OF to-day say in regard to the annex
alton ofTexas to the United States cannoi
be true, and we have reason for believing
its official correspondence from Washington
the contents of which are just the contrary
of what these papers say. But be it as i
may, our Government is determined not tt
lose the usurped territory, and to that emf
she will use her best efforts TO recover ii
that the honor the dignity and good name 0
the nation shall not suffer-"
In addition to the above the Republican
learns from a passager, who left the city c
Mexico on the 26th of April, and Vera Cru
on the End of May, "that the question of an
nexation was somewhat talked ofin both c
those cities. No definite information on til
subjectofthe treaty seemed to have beenhad
but there was a very general indignation fe
and expressed against any movement on til
part ofthe United States tending TO depri,
the Mexican Government of her suppose
rights in regard to the territory of Texas
The most determined hostility TO the NOV
ment evidently existed, and it was appa
ent, that it would be resisted to the last e
tremity."-Lou. Jour.

The TREATY.-The Washington cores
pondent of the Baltimore American writes
under date of the 2Ist:
"Mr. Benton closed his remarks on Exec
utive session last evening, having spoken for
three days against the Texas treaty.
"The injunction of secrecy is removed
from all the speeches which have been OF
which may be made upon the Texas treaty,
as well as preliminary speeches.
"Mr. Walker commenced a speech yester.
day, which he continues to-day, for n exa-
ton. and in reply to Mr.. Bentan. There
are a great many speeches prepared, and the
discussion will probably continue through
the present and next week, and perhaps lon
ger. There are errors, l believe, in the cal
culations which have been submitted as tc
the detailed votes of the Senators, but none
as to the result. No one here doubts tina
the treaty will be rejected by a vote ofnear
ly t~wo-thirds."
