Will the official Journalist be good enough TO in

ject Annexation of Texas he regards the Liberty
vote, as given in New York, Ohio, and other States
Phil. Inquirer.
We never regarded the vote alluded to as in
any "manner connected with the subject."-
We were always satisfied that large majority
of the People, with or without the Abolition
lists, were in favor Of the measure. We never
meddled with the Abo,ionists further than TO
prepare an article some weeks ago Gin time to
reach all the leading " Liberty men" before the
eleclion,) declaring that the Democratic candi-
date, and the Democratic party, were candid in
expressing their opposition 20 the principles of
the Abolition party, and that so far from sending
missionaries among them to entice them TO vote
for COL Polk, we did not desire or expect their
support, but advised them to stick to their own
candidate, and to have nothing to do with either
Of the slave-holding candidates. We were deter
mined not to be "betrayed" by them, as the
Wings say they have been.
1t appears that in Ohio the Aboltionists voted
for Mr.. Clay. and that in New York and Penn
sylvania they didn't We will not puzzle our
brains TO find out how this conflicting course is

PORTRAIT OF PRESIDENT TYLER

The portraits which have been taken of Pas
sIDFNT TYLER have for the most part been fai-
lures, and the consequence is that the smaller
resemblances Of him taken from such defective
portraits furnish but an indifferent representa-
ton of the original.
We were invited this morning to see a por-
trait recently painted by MR. HART, for a gen
tlemsn in Virginia, and cannot withhold the
expression of our admiration. 1t is designed sf-
ter the artists own fancy, and associates the
President with an incident of his Administra-
ton of the most trying character. We wish all
the success TO the young artist to which his ia
Tents would seem worthy TO entirle him.

AN APT QUOTATION.
a correspondent furnishes the following note on
Mr. Webster's speech:
The arch-angeI Of whiggery, Daniel Webster, at
rally of his routed and discounted partisans in
Faneuil Hall on Friday, made speech full Of dog
ged Tesoluton-which he commenced with the fol-
lowing quotation from the first book of Millions Para
disc Lost
What though the feldibe lost,
All is not lost, the unconquerable will"
"This is part of Satan's speech after his rebellion
against the majesty of Heaven had been defeated
and himself and his host whemed in the suIphurous
pool of Tartarus The orator did not like to quote
any more of the original so dropping the quotation,
he goes on in plain prose, weaving into his speech
if original, the ideas and many of the words of his
Satanic model.
"And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never TO submit or yield,'
says the Devil.
"The courage TO resist, the firm purpose, the de-
voted adherence to our principles" says Black Dan.
Now We call this plagiarism. With excellent
judgment the god-lke man compared the coalition OF
the fallen wings 10 that Of the Satanic With
equally excellent taste he likened himself unto the
Devil, and adopted the speech which Milton had pre-
pared for him. But he should have given the Devil
his due, and continued the quotations. Would not
an action lie for violation Of copyright We wish
some printer or lawyer would advise us.
