That the People may see what lfoten.lona bhgiand
sets up, we quote from the London Times OF the Sd
July Speaking of the Presidents Message to the
House Of Representatives on the subject of the
Treaty, the Times says
But here is one item among the Presidents rea-
sons heh carries more heroic aspect The terri
tory he says, is settled mostly by emigrants from
the United States, who will bring back with them,
IN the act Of recpfocaton, an unconqueraoe love OIL
freedom and an ardent attachment TO our free lnsti-
buttons. Z his startling version OF the fact deserves
TO be UNITY lerized.
" The plain statement of the Texan rebellion is
this A set of adventures, half iree-booters, hall
land jobbers and whole slave-owners got possess,on
by right or by wrong, of large portion of Mexicon
territory and finding il dstasteiul to submit 10 the
laws under which they bad placed themselves, and
especially TO obey the humane enactment by which
Mexico abolished slavery within her limits are en-
couraged by American intrigue, and aided by Amer
lean hands and heads, TO declare their Independence
The lawless population Of the United States, look up
on every thing their own which they can appro-
PIRATE. We have found IL SO on the Canadian bOun
dairy we are finding II so on the Oregon and the
Mexicans Ind II SO IN Texas. 10 see their own
blood in the possession OF coermnous territory, OF
unexampled fertility and immense resources, with
out the Diet rmiDation to appropriate 1t, involved an
amount of honesty not TO be expected from Pres-
dent 4 ylers sympathsing countrymen. The I'M
conquerable lovers Of freedom, who were determined
that, come what might, they would not relinquish
the right OF logging aud selling their own niggers
were quite OF the same mind, And by such AN UNI
Outstanding between Americans possessing, and
Americans not possessing Mexican and-betweeD
tyranny The side and cul dlty on the other OF
he frontier line, a successful rebellion was elected
as discredable to the Texans in It's origin as Mi
Tyler wishes II TO be IN lis cunsummaion TO the Uni
ted States. Annexation only IS nov waning 10 sci
the public seal on the whole proceeding-to convert
the irregular plots and violence of mob OF squat
tiers into consistent and uhambguous act OF plum
der
"Mexico has never acquieseed in this spoation.
The rest of the world has indeed treated with Texas
independent power, because de Jacto she Is So
But the question of right is still unsettled and 1t IS
merely dishonest after eight years of precarious
though actual independence for the United States to
claim right of throw ing their weight into the scale
and that, not from the high ground OF paclhc neu-
tralily, not by way OF impartial mediation, but by as
Stunning the position OF deeply Interested party. Ju
necessary that such questions as those oet,ceen Ieras
and Nerico must be decided by the scord so be- but
not by the aood Of President Tyler is impossible for
the as Of both nations to acqulesce in such settlement
ALL ARE INTERESTED, BUT ENGLAND
MOST OF ALL. We, at least, in virtue of our
Canadian and West Indian possessions, hold stake
in the fortunes of the Western Hemisphere. To us
at least the overbearng tone in which Mr.. Tyler
| warns of European powers fiom the Continent,
which he seems to consider his own proper manor,
has no Ineligible reference. To England at least
an AM rcan well an European power-he can
scarcely deny the right "io in public ques-
tons affecting the relations existing between the
States of the American Continent. And tins con-
sideraton nigh, open dangerous prospect; but ice
rejoice 10 hope that the difficulty in uhch he has sought
to inrope his and other countries UiH neil before
the courage and Of the Senate and the moderaon
Of more respectable candidates for the Presidency tha
Mr.. Tyler"
We call upon our countrymcn to read this ex-
tract and to reflect upon the consequences which
to follow in the train of the conspiracy 10 which
call their attention.
1t is impossible (says the Times for the allies Of
both nations to acquiescen in the Annexation OF
Texas. ALL ARE INTERESTED, BUT ENGLAND MOST
OF ALL" Who will hereafter dare to say that this
IS not an American aud an English question En-
boldened by the rejection Of the treaty, the Times,
the great organ of the Tories of England, openly
claims that it is English questionlha England
sirterested most Of al"-but we are told that The
hopes Of England rest the courage and Of
the Senate" and on the of the English cand
date for the Presidency :!
What say you, People of the United Statesi On
which side you' Are you on the side of Ameri
ca, or of England Are you for the American OF
the English candidatei
