A child beginning to read becomes de

of names and things which are very fami

Weeks) is worth quarters schooling to q

his advancement. The mother Of the

"All communications intended for the
central committee may be addressed to the
Hon. W. w. Payne, at Washington city,"
This circular is signed "Many Friends
of Texas"
The idea that Congress will authorize
military bands to be formed in the United
States Tor the avowed purpose Of taking
part in war between Mexico and Texas is
perfectly ridiculous. There is nothing
more to justify it now than in 1885, when
President Jackson ordered all such iudiyi-
duals to be arrested and punished for a
violation Of law. These "Frends Of Tex
as seek 10 do that in the face Of authority
for which Aaron Burr was charged on
suspicion merely--.he employment Of
troops in u foreign country. If the mere
intent 10 invade Mexico in the event Of a
war between the United States and Spain
in 1866 constituted misdcmcaRor on the
para Of Burr, punishable by law, we see .
reason why the same penalty should rot
be incurred by the actors in this cxpedi-
ton, who proclaim that Their object is 10
war against Mexico, country with VIII 'ch
we are at peace under solemn treaty stipu-
lations.
The fact that Mr.. Tyler, instead Of Gem
eral Jackson, is President, may let it pass
with inpunity. We are inclined to think
that if the Old Hero were in the White
House, friend as he is to annexation, he
would have the whole Texas squad put
under bonds for good behavior. We sup
pose Mr.. Tyler would rot move an inch,
except to approve, ifthe recruiting officers
Of Texas Or any other person were to beat
up oryolunteers, with the flag Of the Love
Star moving under his eyes. Te is so in.
iatuated on the suljCct tlat the Ccnual
committee Of Washington know hat 70 o.
struction will proceed from that quarter
Wesce through the whole movement.-
1t is the dying effort of the Texas fiction
to excite the pubic mind ard to make cap
ital for Mr.. Polk To this end the country
is to be flooded with tracts, speeches, let
ters, and all sorts Of publications., in order
to raise wind sufficient to bow Mr.. Paync's
Tennessee "oad" to the size Of an COX"
Eut, like the frog in the fable, the thing
will burst, and there will be an end ofit.

The FramJ1rt Commonwealth of the I7th
instant, whose Editor has seen this vaunt-
ed letter to Blair after giving history Of
the Eargain investigation in the Kentucky
Senate in 1927, proceeds
"Ddven iiOm every other ground Of evil
dence, the desperate panders Of party then
Appealed TO the imaginations Of the zeal
otis Of party for proof They said Mr. Gay
had written Blair a letter which would
prove the bargain; aud the COMMITTEE Of
the Senate Of Kentucky that tried Mr.. Clay
made sha'n compulsory movement on
Blair TO force him 70 disclose the letter, he
having set himself up as gentleman too
honorable 10 violate private conGlence.-
Eut the honor OF Blair is correctly certified
il the fact thu! an rXt.ac! Of hat very Ict-
ter, containing all that could possibly be
construed 10 apply to the bargain charge,
was published hy Kendall and Of coarse
with Hairs privty; and this very extract
was read ty tia! lrs.dious and cowar lly
sllldrrerJ. w. TiDhatts, in late speech,
in prOofof the iargain, although the same
l.tln honest gentleman did not charge the
Ia-guin o. ~ Cag. There were s0me
expressions in Mr.. Claws letter not out Of
placcin a correspondence with an intimate
friend, but altogether unfit for the public
eye; and Mr.. Clay therefore refused to give
his consent 10 its publication, but he gave
authority for the exhibition ofthr let.e., and
it has been seen by many gentlemen Of
both parties. So IA, from c)llaiaily any
proof Of bargain against Mr.. Cay, /. goes
TO the very revcrsci and no candid man
can read il without rising from the perusal
with more exalted ideas OF Mr. Clay's pure
and incorruptibe integrj.y. Such is not
Only our own, but the judgment Of all
whose opinion Oft we have consulted -
Such is the history Of the Bargain ca umny
than, which a more wicked invention TO
deiame felow-bcing never was put
forth.
This very Blair, once the warm friend
Of Mr.. Clay who now affects to wish to BE-
relieved fromh his oJligationin regard 10 this
private letter, has committed thousand
greater violations OF honor than the publ
cation of private or confidential letter.
He would have published the whole Of it,
long ego, ifit would have served his party
as he has already permitted Kendall to pub
lish the only part Of it which admits OIL
a~y constructive application TO the Bargain
SANDER. And this same Blair, we have
reason TO believe, was himself in favor of
Adams for President next to Clay; and so,
we believe, was Amos Kendall"
