NEWSPAPER ENTERpRIzE.-T highly interesting
correspondence of the State Department, relative
to Texas and Mexico,-the most important docu.
ment laid before the public Tor some time past
was published ercisasivuy in this journal on Satur-
day morning last. II was really amusing to b.
serve the manner in which the evening papers OF
that day ayailed themselves Of this early pubca
tion. Only one--the Ameitan-had the mainline .,
to acknowledge the source from whence the inle-
resting and important document was obtained!
But this was not all. We also gave exclusively
on Saturday, in our money article. statement OF
the state of trade between China and the nations
of Europe and probably no other newspaper, or
any other effice In this country, could furnish the
same facts. But we happened to have procured
from Paris, to the latest dates, all the documents
which are furnished by all the consuls OF the French
government, and published under its patronage.
Such statements as are found in these documents
cannot be obtained from any British or American
sources, and we had to ransack the whole OF our
valuable French documents in order to obtain the
intelligence which we gave on Saturday, and which
is Of such great interest and value, now that the
United States are about TO enter into a new COM
mercal intercourse with China.

IapoarANr ABOLITION MOVEMENTS. We give in
this days paper interesting rspor, Of the say
ings and doings' Of the Abolition Convention held
at Albany last week. II is taken from the Albany
Evening Journal, and 10 quite amusing, at least.
The important feature Of the Convention is the
bold ground the aboIitionists take against the ma
tive party. The abolitionists declare themselves
in favor Of political freedom TO all colo, all races,
white, black native, or foreign There is every sp-
pesrsncs Of pretty war coming of between The

1t will be seen from these returns, which canno,
vary much from the official statements, that Mr.
Polk is indeed majority President although the
majority is small one in the popular vote and
that the influence which necessarily belongs to
such an election ought not to be withheld from it.
The extraordinary extent OF the v,te taken Is very
nearly--within few hundreds-lhat which we
stated il would be, and the absolute result Of the
whole, has come out precisely as we predicted sc.
veral weeks before the election, and for the an
nouncement Of which we were SO fufiously de.
nounced by the wings as having been purchased by
the locofocos. The truth is, q clear-headed man,
without any party bias can almost in every instance
in the elections OF this country, predict the actual
result or very nearly SO. Political philosophy ID
growing into an exact science and hereafter no
person need be in doubt about what the absolute
result of elections will be, il they read the CO.
lumns Of this or any other independent journal.
In this election, the principal issue before the
people undoubtedly was the Texas question and
the Oregon. The old issues Of bank, Distribution,
and tariff, had been decided years before, and
the new issues have defeated not only Mr.. Van
Buren and his own party, but also MIR. Clay. /,
would be well, therefore, for ali those Senators
who represent States that have given popular ma.
jorities for Mr.. Polk and who believe in the doc.
trne OF instruction, TO take warning from the re-
cent result, and act accordingly. How can Messrs
Archer and Rives, Of Virginia, with the popular
majority Of five thousand in favor OF the annexa-
ton Of Texas, dare to- vote against that me asure
before the Senate now1 How can any other Senator
from a. State voting in that way oppose this mea-
sure How dare Mr. Benton vote against II Has
not Missouri given a large popular vote for Mr..
Polk Let those questions be pondered upon and
examined.
