THOMAS w. Dom. The Southern
Traveller, published at Lafayette, in
Louisiana, abiding to the bold and
manly language used by this persecu-
ted man to his unjust Judges, when
the suaIlnterrogatory was put, ''have
you nothing TO say why sentence
should not be passed upon you," re-
marks that it is worthy OF The days
of &c. Like an honest man who
feels that he is suffering in Il just cause,
he boldly faces his enemy. and in Ian
guage such us none Tut the innocent
and patriotic can command, and with
carriage erect and spirit ~undaunted--
like Paul before FeStusand Agrippa-
he nobly hurled from him all charges
Of reasonable nature, and threw
himsell upon the aII-potent tribunal Of
public opinion. His prosecutors are
even now, many of them. reaping the
welI.merited reward of their laborS
in the Kisses and scorn of a free and
enlightened people; and the name of
their victim will live and be honored
when theirs shall be a byeword and
a reproach.
The spirit ofrepubliranism will ne
yer brook such outrages in this STAND
of the free and the home of the brave"

The Great Anti-Annexation OF Texas Meet
lag at the Tabernacle List Evening.

An immense assemblage of tho most respectable
citizens of New York, without distinction of party,
took place at the Tabernacle, in consequence of
the call for meeting of all opposed to the annexa-
ton OF Texas. The large building was completely
thronged in all parts, and it was with the utmost
difficulty that could be had to the Reporters
table, long before the proceedings commenced. A
strong body of marshals were in attendance, as
disturbance from some quarter or other was antic-
patcd.
The organization Of the meeting, however, was
effected amid the utmost quiet, the following gen.
tlemen being unanimously appointed officers
