WHERE WE SHOULD EXPECT 10 FIN


WHERE WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND HIM
David Lee Child, Esq, editor of the Anti Slavery
Standard, writing from Washington on the 10Th ult
says
Gen, Henderson, formerly Texan Minister to
France, is expected here daily, as special envoy from
Texas, TO complete the treaty of annexation, and
what is more important, to influence the Senate to
raty it,. A Roman Senate, when they were using
provinces and kingdoms, for 'scorners'' in the po,
cal game, was not more important than the American
Senate now. We shall see whether we are TO re-
hearse the same old drama Of usurpaton and blood
have seen to day, two letters from Texas, written
by person in the confidence of the Texan govern
ment. The writer that annexation is TO take
place forthwith, calls Texas Estate 4" and desg-
mates the individuals, who to be her Senators and
Representatives in the Congress of the United States
In The hrst letter, which was addressed TO IA TThig
he expresses entire confidence tibet the electoral vote
ofTexas will be given to Henry Clay In the Sec
ond he says that this is impossible that Mr.
Clay, during his visit to New Orleans declared him
sell OPPOSED to annexation, and that Mr. Van Bu.
rem would therefore receive the vote of Texas To
ohviate, however, the objection to annexation which
might arise with Wing Senators on this account. he
states that they have project Of giving their votes ST.
lentIy to person whom the writer does not name
but who is not candidate of either party thus main
tanning neutrality in the contest suspect that this
highly favored individual is no other than CAPTAIN
Tyler. .,.t.. ta.. ...
The Washington Correspondent Of the ~ Y. True
SUM- locofoco paper, writes follows, under date
of March 20:
The annexation of Texas still keeps the politicians
OF Washington in fever of excitement and MANY
plans are being laid on all sides to force thei, opno
nents into critical positions on it. The Democrats
have well nigh succeeded in fixing the impua,ion Of
antagonstlc upon the Wings, and point trumphanv
to the late Democratic victory in New Orleans under
the very eye of Nr Clay result occasioned sole.
y by the belief that the Wing party were opposed to
the annexation.
This feeling has been further increased by the le-
ter OF Mr. Clay to his friends in New England, decIor
ing against the annexation, and also by the course Of
The New York Courier and Enquirer, which maintains
The same grounds and passes in the South for lend
ing Wing print of the great Emporium; and even the
Wing votes of the House have all conspired to pro.
duce the same effect.

SUGGESTIONS TO POLITICAL ABOLITION
lists.
If the bill now before Congress, destroying the
present Tariff, becomes law, its passage will have
been effected by the votes Of Loco Foco members
who indebted FOR their elections to the action of
the Abolitonists in Connecticut, New York and Ohio.
Did the Abolition Farmers and Mechanics in throw
ing away their votes, contemplate such result
Is the abolition of Slavery in the District of Col
umbia, the first step be taken in the progress of
Emancipation? And If so, the Aboonists doing
their duty in contributing to the election of ''a North
ern man with Southern principles" who stands
pledged to VETO any bill Congress may pass carry
ing out this greatly desired object .
Are The Abvlilionists opposed to to the annexa-
ton Of Texas TO the United States And if SO will
they aid in the election of President and Congress
favorable to that object? Texas can only be annexed
or hope to be annexed TO the United Suites, through
the auspices Of Van Burenism. Abolition, promo
ting, as it does, by its political action, the success of
men in favor ofgiving fatal preponderance to the
South, must share in the responsibility Of bringing
Texas into the Union. ''" !
Will not intelligent, consderate men, weigh the
bearing Of these suggestions? viii enlightened, phil
anthropc citizens pursue COURSE tending directly to
extend and prolong the evils which they seek 10
abolish?
