INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.
Il is due to the country that the opinions of all
her distinguished citizens should be heard, espe-

and therefore, we cannot refuse the publication

the inspection of all the Senators. The work of
Humboldt being in French, he offered to those
who knew that language.
Mr. b. resumed He said ! draw broad line
OF distinction between the Province of Texas and
The Republic of Texas. The Province laid be-
tween the Sabine and the lower Rio del Norte,
and between the Gulf of Mexico and the Red
river It was wholly southern Province-the
land OF verdure and of fiowers--forever warm
with balmv sunshine, and fresh with perpetual
spring. The Republic of Texas stretches to the
whole extent of the left bank of the Rio del Norte
-penetrates the region of eternal snow--has a
northern limit in the hyperborean latitude of Mar
biehead and Cape Cod-and embraces the terri
tory between the Red river and the Arkansas, so
wantony and impiously thrown away by the
treaty of 1919. Of these two Texases, 90 for
the recovery of the old one, and all the dismem-
bered part of the valley of the Mississippi be-
tween the Red river and the Arkansas. 1 90 for
this recovery whenever it can be made without
the crime and infamy Of unjust war; 1.-THE first
denouncer of the treaty of lSl9-the first advo-
cate for the recovery of Texas-the consistent,
uniform, and disinterested advocate for this re-
covery; go for it when it can be accomplished
without crime and infamy, as declared in the
third resolution which have submitted; and
wash my hands of all attempts to dsmember the
Mexican republic by seizing her dominions in
New Mexico, Chihuahua, Coahula, and Tamau-
lipas.

Sub-Treasury scheme, into the supporter which
he came with tears of penitence in his eyes, and
the words of apology and submission upon his
lips.
Mr.. r. is evidently alarmed at the symptoms
of characterization manifested by the party, and
exhorts his friends imploringly to unite. He cares
not upon whom they unite so that they will pre-
sent an undivided front against Mr.. Clay:
"We CO." he says against Henry Clay. We
want man, and system Of action, that can best
defeat him. We have the strength to accomplish
this object--if we will exert it properly. The
only thing is to see what is best TO be done, and
to do it "without fear, favor, or affection"
"We wait, therefore, upon the movements OF
the Baltimore Convention. A heavy RESPONSE
bility rests upon them. May they prove them
selves worthy of the confidence, which the De-
mocracy Of the Union repose in them. These
remarks are sufficient to show the deep and ear
nest and solemn conviction with which we are
penetrated-the profound anxiety with which we
now contemplate the destiny of the Republican
party-upon whom our glorious institutions and
our very liberties essentially depend"
What pity it would be if the party should
split in two! what ,oouH Mr.. Richie do!

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The New York Republic expresses the OPT
Mon that France and Mexico are about coming
to loggerheads, in consequence of the arbitrary
conduct of Santa Anna, in forbidding Frenchmen,
among other foreigners, to exercise the calling
Of merchants. "The subject of the annexation
of Texas to the United States has been acrimo-
niousy discussed in the Chamber of Deputies,
and something like interference demanded
The editor of the Republic draws the strange
conclusion from the fact that England and France
will be disposed to prevent annexation, that we
should therefore be more s6lictous to effect it.
We are interested in preventing European pow
ers from getting further foothold upon this CONT
nent, but we have no more right TO trespass up
on Mexico than England or France; and in
maintaining the independence of the American
continent, we should keep clean hands ourselves.

The GENERAL CONFERENCE of the Methodist
Episcopal Church is still in session in New
York. The following complimentary proceed
ings respecting one of our much esteemed fellow
citizens, were had on Monday:
Bishop Soule took the opportunity, during the
absence Of the Secretary (Rev. T. B. Sergeant, of
the Baltimore Conference,) and his companion in
his travels in Europe, to make some remarks on
that subject. Mr.. Sergeant had attended him in
all his travels, rendering him every possible SER
vice, and never leaving him under any consider
atoms. He spoke in the warmest terms OF the
kind attentions Mr.. S. had shown him, and also
Of the high estimation in which Mr.. Sargeant's
character held by the Methodist Church
across the Atlantic. This was abnndantly shown
in the official documents Of the Irish Conference,
and of the London Conference, as well as in the
address Of the British Conference TO the General
Conference. He (Mr. Sargeant) had done great
credit to the Conference 10 which he belonged,
to the General Conference, and to the Methodist
Episcopal Church generally, by his visit to Eu-.
rope. During the time thus occupied he believed
Mr.. Sergeant had received no salary in any form,
in consequence of having no appointment from
his own Conference, and he suggested that the
Conference make some provision for the same.
On motion of Mr.. Early, the subject was re-
ferred to the delegation from the Baltimore Con-
ference, with instructions to report to the Gene
raj Conference.
The subject Of Slavery was again brought up
on Monday. The Rev. John A. Collins, of Bal
timore, offered the following preamble and reso-
luton:
Whereas, it is currently reported and gene
rally understood that one of the Bishops Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, has become con-
nected with slavery and whereas it is due to the
General Conference to have proper understand
ing of the matter; therefore, S4>84 /.
Resolued, That the committee on the Episco-
pacy be instructed to ascertain the facts in the
case, and report the result of their investigation
to this body tomorrow morning
Bishop Hedding, who was in the Chair, called
the attention of the Conference to rule in their
discipline, requiring them 10 remember in all
their discussions that the eye of God was upon
them; he hoped at present especially that they
would remember this
Mr.. Collins said that at present he simply Of
fered the resolution, for this was a matter which
met them at every turn, and interfered with the
whole of their business. He approved, and so
far as in him lay, would act upon the observa-
tons of the Chair, but would urge the immediate
report of the committee. The resolution was
then agreed to Baltimore American.

THE WOMEN ALL FOR CLAY.

DR.. Francis Bacon, in his eloquent Grafton, be-
fore the Wings Of New York, thus beautifully
alludes to the predictions of the American Fair.
1t is almost universally conceded that for some
| reason the vast majority of American women are
Wings. The reason may never have been given !;
but it is worth seeking and easily found. 1t is
in the very nature of women. They act from
feeling, impulse, and sentiment, where men at
tempt to act from calculation, reason, and argu.
ment, and on all moral subjects-all questions of
principle, their feelings and perceptions of what
is true and pure and noble and beautiful are more
Just and certain, as they are more prompt than
the ambitious reasonngs of men. The God of
Nature has thus endowed them above us, for the
heest of purposes. The mother waits not to
reason Of her duties. Her high instinct is divine
wisdom, most wisely given. Women, too, have
strong natural taste for the heroic in principle,
for the noble, the bold and gallant, and equally
strong distaste for the mean, the crafty, the cold
and calculating. We owe much of that female
influence, no doubt, to the personal qualities Of
our leader His high-toned feeling, his fervor,
frankness and courage are the traits they most
seek and admire in men. Still, it is 10 our prin-
ciples and action also that their preferences are
rendered. So was it with the mothers and wives
and daughters of the Revolution. So must it be
with those Of our time. We welcome them then
with all our hearts. We honor their high per-
ceptioa of the moral sublime in our cause. We
give them praise. Our enterprise would not be
complete in its beauty and success without their
| aid their gentle winning influences here, and in
| the dominion of the home and the freside-just
as our proud choral anthems would lack perfect
harmony without the softening melody of their
voices.
AND, therefore, wives, and mothers and daugh-
ters of enlightened freeinen! we rejoice in your
presence as an evidence of your appreciation of
whatsoever things are honest, pure, and Of good
report" touching manifestation Of that moral
sense divner than cold reason, by which you look
to the hopes and joys Of that coming age which is
committed to your care That holy maternal
love which bears that object of its creation in
| such a continual anxious watchfulness, and will
| not leave il when it's infancy ceases, but clngs
| to it unchanging through life and to death and
| beyond death follows it over the Earth and up
| to Heaven, and bears it near to God-that same
| love nstinctiyely abhors the public evils of the
age and instinctively promotes the influences
which will avert those evils from that offspring.
Although the father may forget this duty, the
mother will not; and she may make the father
remember it.
Therefore, lovely and true and faithful! we
are glad in the light of your countenances; and
from full hearts we send you our shouts OF well
come.

"An old Jackson Democrat writing in the
New Orleans Courier, charges the annexation
meetings of Charleston and that city, as the re-
suit of conspiracy between some Wings, mo-
ney brokers, and few Democrats, "to create
confusion in the Democracy :" He implores the
true Democracy to keep away from the meetings,
and leave them to the "oWne-s of Texas land
and the holders Of Texas money" He declares
that Mr.. Van Buren, will be unanimously chosen
by the Baltimore Convention that If the Demo-
Gratis are true to themselves, he will be elected
"and then the annexation of Texas will be no
longer doubtful" The Courier says veil done!

NAvAL.-By letters received by last evenings
mail, we learn that the U. s. ship Vincennes,
Captain Buchanan, arrived at Pensacola, on the
10Th inst, from Havana, which place she left on
the 10Th ut. The Vincennes returned to Pensa-
cola in consequence of orders received by the U.
S. brig Somers, especially despatched for the
purpose. She sailed from Pensacola on the l1th
instant after being in that port bat a few hours
destinations unknown, supposed to be Vera Cruz.

The LocoFoco national CONVENTION is to
meet in this city on. Monday next. At the same
time the Great Tyler. Convention is to meet.
Who will be nominated by the Locofocos is un-
certain, but the belief gains ground here that
Mr. Van Buren, will yet out manage the discon-
tents. Gen. Cass has number of friends, and
other candidates are spoken of but the wand of
the magician is not broker, though the NEGRO
mancer of Undertook" has become the Sage
of Underworld" The ingredients which have
been gathered to place in the great polite chaul
dron on Monday next, will no doubt "boil and
bubble" yet the incarnation will be sufficiently
powerful TO work ont charm for Mr.. Van Buren,.
Benton, Wright, and Blair-who are to perform
on THIS occasion the parts of the Three Witches
| IN Macbeth-have taken care that whatever is
put into the chaul1ron against Van Buren,, shall
be neutralIzed by some more powerful agent
As for the "Tyler National Convention" Il
will be the farce to the Locofoco tragedy. Those
who got it up judged perhaps wisely, that the
taste OF some who have been invited to act in the
tragedy may lead them to prefer to take part in
the burlesque; and, as skiIful managers, thew
have endeavored to meet this contingency by an.
nouncing their farce to come off on the same
day-Bah Patriot

A RESPONSE FROM OH1o.-The Wings of the
Western Reserve of Ohio, held great meeting
in Cleveland, on the 18th instant, to respond to
and ratify the nominations made in Baltimore OF
Henry Clay and Theodore Frelinghuysen. The
Cleveland Herald says there were fully fifteen
thousand persons present. The delegations car
ried banners, flags, and notices, and the process
sion which was formed was a beautiful and ami
mating spectacle. Elisha Whittlesey was the
President of the Convention, who made, on TAX
ing the chair, an excellent speech. Letters were
received from Mr. Clay, Mr.. Webster, and 9TH
ers. The Herald adds, /" The ratification of the
nomination of the Wing National Standard-bear-
ers in the coming contest was cordial and enthu-
siastic, and the Wings of the Reserve will put
their broad seal to that ratification in October
next, with the impress of triumphant majority
at the ballot boxes"

THEODORE FRELINGHUYsEN.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune in
noticing charge against Mr.. Frelinghuysen, of
being Federalist, and opposed to the war, says,
that Mr. F. at that time was very young man,
and whatever his opinions might have been in re-
gard TO the expediency of the war, his conduct
evinced the same patriotic spirit which was shown
by his father during the Revolution. Mr. F. at

to defend the country at a moments warning !;
and although never called into active service, the
company under his command were thoroughly
drilled and disciplined. On two occasions he
mustered his forces for the purpose of meeting
the enemy, but subsequent events rendered his
services unnecessary.
