In that case increase Of territory often does BRING
danger. Not 80 with republic, which receives IN
its fraternal embrace new territories only 10 make
them free-not TO wiring from them tribute to sup
port an oppressive monarchcal government-but
to raise up new, free, and independent States, each
giving added strength to the whole confederacy.
Thus. then, we argue that the annexation Of
Texas is certain; and whether Mr. Clay or Mr..
Polk be elected that will have little effect on the
oostponement OF its accomplishment. If Mr.. Clay
be elected, the country will see very material
change in his sentiments with respect to Texas be-
fore two years have passed over our heads. No
longer cautiously cropping his way, and afraid to
speak out, he will assume a different tone. One
thing, at all events, is certain-he must-always
provided he sits at the helm of Statego for Texas
or give up the wheel.
FRELINeHuYsEN AND THE +" NATIVES AGAIN.
Some people appear to work very hard to con-
vince the public that Mr.. Frelinghuysen is great
admirer OF the "Natives," and staunch supporter
Of their peculiarly American republican creed
rumor has been in circulation that the worthy
Chancellor Of the University, and President Of the
Bible Society, had declared that the Bible must
prevail in spite Of Bishop Hughes and the Pope.
This, Mr.. Frelinghuysen contradicts in the follow
ing letter -

A SUGAR PLUM FOR THE "NATIvEs. I've have
always most cheerfuly rendered all due praise to
the new party for every iota Of reform which they
have effected However small the instalnent, it
thankfully received and placed to their credit
We have now two items of reform for which to
thank them. The temper Of the "organ" has been
decidedly improved by the affectonate and timely
discipline we administered the other day; and the
Mayor has had Mr. Pinteux, the proprietor of
tavern in Broadway, much frequented by loafers,
up before him, and has threatened to deprive him
of his licence in case of another complaint of dis
orderly conduct against his establishment
We are indeed exceedingly gratifed at this decided
movement on the part of the Mayorto abolish one
of the most abominable and disgusting nusances in
Broadway-the taverns in Broadway, which remain
open till midnight, and are always surrounded by
crowds Of rowdies, native and foreign, who OBJ
struct the sidewalks and violate public decency
with their blasphemies and obscenites. We trust
that the reform will be vigorously carried out. II
the corporation even now begin to prosecute the
work Of city reform in all its departments with en-
ergy and effect, they will at once regain every
inch they have lost in public favor, and make
permanent their tenure Of the reins of government
And as, we have repeatedly said, they will always
find in an active and jealous ally when they are
discharging their duty But we will suffer no
unfaithfulness and forgetulness of their solemn
pledges to go unexpesed and unrebuked
SILAs WRIGHT AND TnURLow WEEp.-Mr.
Weed is trying very hard TO convict Silas Wright
of fbbing, because he has said that he hailed the
nomination Of Polk with delight, and is prepared
to give that gentleman his earnest support. Thur
low Weed is almost the last man In the world that
we would have suspected of being SO verdant as
seriously to entertain the opinion that politician
should be consistent IN all his statements We have
no more reason to expect uniform consistency in a
politician, than we have to expect manliness and
honor in Thurlow Weed
hKPEALERs NOT ALL DEAD YET.-1here are still
few ofthe repealers alive and kicking in this city
They have issued call for great, mighty, null
titudinous meeting next Monday evening. The
last subscriptions were only bite to the hungry
hangers-on, and, as Of them said the other day
the "patrotic loafers will stand another bleeding
at any rate"
THE FASHIONABLE WATERING PLAcEs.-At these
delightful spots "the cry is still they come" AT
Saratoga, Port Richmond, Clifton House, Long
Branch Ocean House, and Coney Island, hundreds
are daily arriving, and yet there is room and well
come for more.sa
As an instance of the enjoyment which these
places afford, we need only refer to a most de-
lightful pic mic party got up at Port Richmond on
Thursday last. At an early hour in the morning,
