II must be source OF the highest qualification to
the country at laige, and more especially to the
friends and supporters Of the President TO see most
of the distinguished Of the country coming up
to the support of his Administration the great and
leading measure Of his policy--the annexation of
Texas. We had Commodore Stewards letter to Mr.
}. Thompson, Of Mississippi, published a few days
ago in the Globe and il is expected soon 10 be fol-
lowed by letter from General Cass. Although the
million had got he star, Of them in their open advo
cacy of the measure, yet il never be too late for
disnterestod patriots 10 rally in support of great
measure Of an honest Administration. We cannot
regard this course taken by these distinguished
gentlemen as other Than disinterested. They desire
only to be regarded units among the hosts that
rushing to the blended standard Of the United States
and Texas. They surely do not, and cannot, desire
to snatch that standard Of the hands of the man
who elevated it when they were asleep, and who,
whatever may be the result, ,ciH bear the attacks he
is reeering en Of The adrersarss 10 annexation.
Under the lead Of either of them, will any one
be asssi!ed but Mr.. Tyler 1t is his great mea-
sure-none other has had any thing 10 do with
its orgination, aud the embated hosts of ultra
can only reach any other through his sides. All
the Saladins of the camp will make their assault
upon him, and him only. We cannot, then, for
moment suppose that these gentlemen can harbor for
an instant the idea of attempting to him and his
measures as instruments to obtain the Presidency
Sooner than act censurable should be likely to
happen, we would appeal to just community to ar
rest proceeding which would disgrace the very age
in which we 1--we. An indignant People will frown
down the attempt. Mo- leave TO the gallant Commo
dore the honest pride of Boosting of his naval Victories
leave him to show his sears aud tell of the noble ex
PLOTS he has performed, and let him, if he can
reach the Presidency upon them, if the People so
will it, and let General Cass point also to his serv-
ces in the field, and at the council board All ,hi.
