sire for speculation in scrip aud land.' The Cen

Tended his country against British invasion wan ms

But in the rejection Of the Treaty Of Annexation,
the policy Of Great Britain was strikingy and pecu-
larly subseIved. The newspaper press OF England
took precisely The same ground ON the question that
the National Intelligencer had taken, ur that MIR.
Webster had taken for it; in both Houses OF Parlia-
ment The pension ed tools Of the Government nve Oh
ed against the alton Of Texas, and called upon
the American Senate TO reject the treaty, just as If
they addressing the legislature of colonial de-
tendency Nor was this ali Special agents OF the
British Government were dispatched to Mexico,
Texas and the Uni ed States. These agents were and

But when the Treaty OF Annexation was rejected
by the Wing majority in the Senate, the congratula-

sxcelled BY the taunts and Civilizations of the British
Lords Having succeeded in procuring the REJECTION
Of two of the most important measures to our
welfare and prosperity, "snce the formation oil The
Federal Constitution" with so little exeruon and ca
pense the British have actually become emboldened
to take parental and controlling part in the DISPOSE
ton of all vital questions which arise within the
walls of the Capitol of the United States. Not only
has the British Government been defended in our
Senate, 10y one whose whole life, until subdued by
the magic influence surrounding the annexation ques-
tiou, has been devoted TO iDdisciimn4te denuncia-
tons of that Government but praised and lauded TO
the skies, as a proud example for the world even
while the executoners OF the Republic were in the
act of raising The axe which severed bright star
perhaps forever, from our glorious galaxy
This, as we have said, has embodened the British
Government 10 ply further the cupdi,y Of our dis
honest and Jshonored political leaders" who have
been induced to oppose the best Interests of their owr
country The politicians and the presses Of Great
Britain are now actively working TO secure the tr
umph Of the Federal Bank party in the impending
Presidential election The British papers, brought to
our shores by thousands in every packet, are now
filled with infamma DRY articles in favor Of Mr. Clay
and should the Wing party succeed, general ILLUM'
sArIos WILL GLARI THROUGHOUT THE mosAR.
