WASHINGTON, July n, lS44
Apostolte Letter to the Neto York Democracy-Er
PLANTATION Of Anneratiow- the Democrafs-th,
Dia,icf, and the Listriet Banks, &c.
The New York outbreak upon the Texas ques
ton is now the absorbing topic among the polit
clans Of Washington. We suggest. from CON
versation held this morning with an old and judi
eious democrat, the following brothery items Of adj
vice to our New York democracy
lst To harmonic upon the Democratic Presi
Dental Electoral Ticket, by giving to every dis.
sentent his oaveat on the question of annexation.
I'd. To concede the same reservation to every
democrat disposed to adopt il, upon the Congress
sonal Ticket
3D.. To surrender no man to Clay and Freling-
huysen on the mere tickling straw of Texas and
immediate annexation.
But we cannot imagine why Mr. Bryant should
oppose the Baltimore resolution upon the admis.
sion of Texas. That resolution involves the ex-
press condition Of the annexation of Texas when
i shall be practicable. Birney himself, or John
q Adams, might vote consistently for that resolu-
ton. We think this the legitimate and the only
legitimate Interpretation, that in sustaining the re-
solution OF the Baltimore Convention every man is
unrestricted upon the qualification OF practicabill-
~. Polk and Dallas first, and Texas afterwards,
il the people satisfied that it is practicable to
admit her.
The people Of Washington and the District Of
Columbia, are suffering from the absence OF COM
plete and regularly appointed, and coDgressonally
sustained democratic administration but like the
poor unrepentlng head-strong people OF Jerusalem,
they don't know what l. for their own good. Gen.
J Jackson did more for the city Of Washington than
any other President, and Mr.. Van Buren, more
han any other saving his lilustrlous predecessor"
While IN Congress, Senator Allen has always been
alive to the true interests OF the people OF the tede-
raj city Yet the first is still pursued IN their po-
riaf NJ do ncraf in nrln nle he
second ls denounced as an arant iniriguer; while
the third Is held IN uncompromlsng haired and APP
prehension. To him, lndte ed, may be traced the
death of the District Banks-insttuti0ns whose
history is synonymous with suspension of specie
ayments"-"s pe culatiOn in foreign paper" and
unexpected and grinding discounts upon their own
and all other notes thrown into the local clrcula-
ton. The destruction of these banks will be the
redemption of the district, if the act Of the last
session be sustained. Six banks to population OF
40 900 pc ople are sufficient 70 exnguish the inde-
pendence, the spirit the vitality OF the most enter,
Uncle Sam they would have extinguished the bust.
ness OF the district ten years ago. The thanks Of
this community are, therefore, especially due to
therefore, if they would secure the prosperity Of
their business, and the hard currency as it comes
from the treasury, tear down their board shanty
and their "claypole," "a name colnciding with the
miserable " claypole" Of Oliver Twst) and
"And come out from among the coon party,
And vote to 7yp-upthei,.canoe."
The conservation, dedication, and formal appro-
priation Of the board shany to coonery was frus-
trated last night by the blessed rain. Another
omen Of supernatural opposition to the worship
ping of idols in q tree country. Bon.
P.S.-Excuse politics. Our next shall be more
Of literary cast. The Express writer says that
Duff Green has gone after the President. Another
rumor says this morning that he has gone up TO bis
Cumberland coal mines. We shall try and look
alter the administration next week, and shall also
enquire whether the District Banks, any OF them
have evaded the late law of Congress in new issue
of notes upon the authority Of the stockholders, and
in their name, conformity or separately.
