grants will If Texas remains independent; bring
with them European feelings and European opin-
ions. If this observation means any thing, it is
that if Texas becomes part of the United States,
and emigration from Europe is admitted, the ems
grants will then leave their European feelings
and opinions behind theml But these European
emigrants WILL as soon as they have sufficient
strength, destroy that great domestic institution
upon which so much of the prosperity of our
Southern country depends" Now, upon this
point only few words are necessary. So long
it is the interest of the inhabitants of Texas to
retain slavery as part of their institutions they
will retain it, aud no longer; and as an indepen
dent nation, she has right to act as she feels
best for her interests. All these things are to
lead to war between Texas and the United
States. England will be party to it from ne
cessity" (query, what necessityD y The other
great powers of the world will not be idle spec
tators. The peace of the civilized world the sta
blty of long established institutions, and the des
tinies of millions, both in Europe and America,
hang upon the decision which Texas shall now
pronounce" All this is to be impressed by Mr.
Murphy upon President Houston; he (Mr. Hous-
ton) is told that great responsibility rests upon
him; that the accomplishing the point at issue
"would do more for the happiness of mankind
than has been effected by any political movement
within the last half century" How can the Pre-
sdent of Texas hesitate about agreeing to the
plan of annexation, particularly when, as Mr..
Upshur states,she, 'Presidem Houston, himself
has receued the Information that a clear consti-
tutional majority IF hoo-thirds of The Senate are
in faror Of annexation, from sources which will
command his respect" A few days will deter
mine what respect this information was entitled
to; true or false, however, it has, this had it's
operation upon the minds of the President and
Government of Texas. MARSHALL.

A WORD TO THE WHIGS.

1t is now apparent that the Locofocos have
made up their minds to unite upon Mr.. Polk, and
make desperate effort to recover the power they
have lost, and we therefore take occasion to warn
the Wings of the Union against being lulled into
security or supineness by the suppostion that
MIR. Polk is mere man of straw.
Mr.. Calhoun truly characterized the party to
which he afterwards reattached himself, when he
said that it was held toge her by the cohesive
power of punder" Such is the bond that ever
has and ever will unite it. The intensity of their
love OF power and :" the spoils," is such, that,
qnarrel as they may among themselves for these,
when the contest comes on between them and
the Wings, no matter who their leader NAV be-,
or what eminent men may have been sacrificed
by him and his immediate friends to clear his
way to the post of leadership, once there, they
unite as cordially as if he were the rjghlfu heir,
and there had been no division or diversity of
opinion in regard to the succession. In monarch
lcal countries, it matters not whether wise man
or fool, military chieftain or man devoid of
military knowledge, fills the throne, the people
are equally loyal and submissive and thus it is
with the Locofocos, or, if they prefer to be SO
styled, the Democracy, of this country. Let any
man be nomnated-statesman honest man, knave,
or fool-whether by fair means or foul, is all one
to them, and he is, for the time being, the embo
dment of their party; the King or Queen is,
in monarchcal Government, the embodiment of
the sovereignty, and the object of the love and
devotion of good and loyal subjects.
The nomination of James X. Polk as candi-
date for President of the United States, was re-
ceiVed with laugh of dersion throughout the
united States, even by the party by whom he
was nominated. So ncredulous indeed, were
the sensible men of the party in the interior, that
upon hrst hearing its annuncia,ion, they declared
it hoax-"a Wing lie )" they did not believe it
possible the Convention could have been so re.
gardess of the great interests Of the country and
of the dignity Of the station, as to nominate SO

LATER FROM LAGUAYRA AND PoRTo CABELLo.
The brig Selim, Capt. Dunham, arrived last night,
from Laguayra 18th ult., and Porto Cabello 22d
We receive by her the following intelligence -
The rainy season had set in, and it had rained
lncessantly for three months. The roads through
the mountains were consequently rendered i'm
passabe, and no produce could be brought to
market. Coffee was scarce as none had been
brought to Laguayra. Business was dull, and
the markets glutted with American produce.
The export duties were taken off of coffee. Flour
would not pay freight.
A military guard had been stationed at Carac-
cas- on account of the coming elections, as some
lnsurrectlonary movements we're anticipated.
The Roads from Porto Cabello to Valencia
and from Laguayra tie Caracas, were entirely
stopped by the rains. The rainy season had COM
menced six weeks sooner than it had been known
before for many years Coffee and hides were
very much damaged by the rains The Quaran-
tine which had been on for eight months at La
guayra was taken off just before the S. sailed

his Indignation at the insult offered him by the

Locos in Boston was too great for concealment.

PUBLIC SEN NIIHENE-ANNEAAI ~.
The annexation epidemic has been less conta-
gious even at the South than was expected, and
most of the numerous ceases which occurred
when the malady first broke out have recovered.
The only instances in which the disease has
proved fatal, have been those in which there ex-
listed bad state of the system, caused by the
possession of Texas lands or scrip-or what
amounts to the same thing, wish to retain or

In all other cases, where the symptoms of Tex
as fever have been exhibited, little difficulty has
been experienced in their removal. few grains
OF reason and reflection, have in general been
sufficient to restore the patient to health.
| Dropping the metaphor, we merely stake pen
in hand" on the present occasion to say, that

gratifying indications given of aversion to the
reasonable plot of John Tyler and John G. Cal
houn. The groveng motives, and the disgrace
ful means, as they have been step by step devel-
oped, have excited universal sentiment Of dis
gust and adherence among the patriotic and re-
fiecting part of the people.
We hear repeated and continual accounts from
Alabama Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana
States, it would be thought, which would go for
the measure, if any would, from their position
we hear daily from those parts of the country,
that the people cannot be dragged into the sup
port OF a measure, subversive of the honor and
peace of the country. The most amusing ac-
counts are given of the deplorable failure of the
demagogues and land jobbers who have attempted
to move the people upon the subject. They have
IN general been suffered to meet and resolve to
their hearts content, without the intrusion OF any
body upon their deliberations or else they have
been grinned out of countenance by the boys.
The Wings universally oppose immediate annex
alton; and we gratified to be able to add that
the more respectable and conservative portion of
the Locofocos unite with them.

nation for It.
But notwithstanding the manner In which the
nomination was received, and the very low esti-
nation 10 which Mr.. Polk was held by the great
mass Of the party, the word has gone forth, that
i is a most glorious nomination that Mr., Polk
is very great man, and very eminent man, the
greatest in the ranks of the Democracy-that he
has claims superior to those of Mr.. Van Buren,
Mr.. Calhoun, Mr.. Cass, Mr.. Buchanan, Colonel
Johnson, Commodore Stewart or, last and least,
General Iowson-though never before thought
of; that Providence itself guided and directed the
choice, and that upon him the party must unite as
man. This order of the leaders to the rank
and file will be obeyed, except by those who have
sufficient independence to think and act for them
selves, and who see in this union upon Mr., Polk,
two objects; namely, TO WIN THE SPOILS,
AND 70 BREAK DOWN THE PROTECT
I'VE POLICY. We, therefore, repeat to the
Wings of the Union the language used to US a
few days ago by prominent free trade man
{" 1t is not Mr. Polk that you have to beat, but
the Locofoco party"
AT the South Mr.. Polk will be urged upon the
people as the anti-tariff candidate, while at the
North his free trade doctrines, and his hostility
to that policy which fosters and protects Ameri-
can industry and enterprise, will be kept out of
view as much as possible, and plastered over by
the assertion that he is in favor of the compro-
mise act. If put to the test, however, it will be
found that he is not in favor of the compromise
act even, because he is not in favor of home udl-
uation and cash duties provided for by that act,
and which make it protective act.
| The real issue presented to the American peo-
pie in the approaching Presidential election is,
whether The tariff of 49, mhich has restored pros
psrity 10 The country, shall be PRESCRIBED, or aohe-
Mer 1t shall be repealed The Texas question
has been thrown in to divert the minds and at
think they have too much sagacity in regard to
their own interests to be drawn off from the great
questions they have to decide.
If any evidence were wanting toi prove that
the Whig party are in favor of fostering and en-
couraging American labor, and that the Locofocos
are opposed to the policy which does that the
votes in the House of Representatives upon Mr..
>McKay's bill to repeal Cor, which is the same
thing, alter and amend) the tariff act of 1912, is
sufficient to set the matter at rest. Not a Wing,
Northern or Southern, voted for that bill, while
almost the entire Locofoco party-all except
twenty-eight-voted for it.
