ports Of Texas to foreign commerce. She lhwarts
that mighty policy Of Great Britain which Is even
now medi,ating our destruction, by surrounding us
with her tremendous engines Of fraud and violence
II is TO these advantages that we should look-i Is
upon these heads that MIR. w. enorges, aud, with an
eoquence peculiarly his own that he brings home to
the Understandings Of the People Of the United States
the madness Of voluntarily yielding up such inest'-
mable benefits upon the paltry aimsy objections oil
their being attended with collateral ia urous effects
objections grounded only in ignorance, sectional pre-
judce, or fanaiical utraism. Mr.. Walker regards
the slavery question involving the principal obec
ton urged against the admission Of Texas into the
Union, and takes The ground that if slavery is a sore
up the body polite il would be infinitely aggrava-
ted by attempt to heal up suddenly, and that
cure can only be effected by gradual process. In
support Of this view, he goes into statistical anay
sis Of population, which, while il displays the usual
acuteLess which characterzes Mr.. w. az a writer,
furnishes US with a mass Of facts which the abo-
ltonist will no doubt find it difficult to reconcile TO
his theory Of universal emancipation. Mr.. Walker
regards Texas the natural outlet OF the slave pop
ulation of the United States, and that by gradually
drawing it of from the middle portions Off the Union,
room will thus be made for that great tide Of public
sentiment wh, starting in the North in the days of
the Revolution, has ever since steadily advanced to-
wards the South, and which will ultimately sweep
the colored race from the United States into those
natural reservoirs of amalgamaton, Mexico and the
South American Republics.
In conclusion, We earnestly recommend MIR. WIS
letter to the perusal of every DESTROYS Of becon
ing acquainted with this most interesting subject
His argument resembles great wave, gradually
gaining strength and carrying conviction along with
1t, as il rolls on towards its consummation We have
no he, itation in asserting confident belief that
the accomplishment of this much to be desired event,
the annexation of Texas, which we have always re.
garded inevitable, will be fastened in no measured
degree by this powerful effort Of the Senator from
Mississippi
