on the Texas question, says: Il have hoped better
things, but it is all over. We are lost pur,y-True

slavery than heaven has with hell. Our good angel

THE CURSE OF FEEDER gAIJsM.

Nothing could be more disastrous to this country than the success of the Federal party, with Henry Clay at their head The meas ures of that thoughtless and reckless man are dangerous. They are calculated to excite ill-leeling between the North and the South,' which tends to weaken the bonds of the Union, and seriously affect buisness tralis- actions between the two sections. The Fed eral party shows no evidence of promoting with their measures the interests of the whole country. An American statesman, who is an American at heart, can think nothing less
 Clay is an inconsalerate and rash man. His schemes have proved to be bad ones, and that quite recently. Passion, rather than coef reason, controls the mans actions. He has better opinion of himself than of others indeed. he is a selfish man. He is sshead- strong" caring nothing for the opinions of the people, when they conflict with his own When he voted forJ. Q. Adams, he not only showed himself to be corrupt, but regardless of the sentiments of bis constituents. When he voted for the Bankrupt law, he. also 'evinced scorn and contempt for public opi- nion. He is the man that should be Pre- sident of the United States. Let the country forever be free from the curse of Federalism, and its narrow-mindedness.

From he Ne,o Orleans Picayune. LATEST FROM TEXAS.


 There has been along hiatus in our Texan news. Our latest Galveston dates were to the 24th of August. The sloop Cutter, Cap tain Amos, arrived from Galveston yesterday with papers to the Eth ut. She had long and arduos passage, being twenty-seven days out but that she fell in with other yessles which supplied her with water, her crew would have suffered severely for the loss of that indispensable article of physical use. The steamship Republic, four days from Gal weston, is, we understand, in the river. She will bring the Texas news to as late date as due. In that of the Cutter there is little. We learn verbally that Anson Jones. the Huston candidate, is elected President of the Republic and that the Court Martial on Commodore Moore had terminated it's proceedings, it's judgment we did not here. The Commodore himselfis coming passengermth the steamship Republic.
 The Galveston Civilian of the 7th ut. con tains the reply of Gen. Huston to the mani- festo which appeared from Gen. Woll, an- nouncing the commencement of hostlitles. It is dated Washington Texas,l July 29th, 1844, and is cuttngly caustic, After rebuk- ing the soi-d;sam hero of San Jacinto for his want of diplomatic courtesy in not making his address or communication through the proper channel, the Secretary oi State, he re- fers to the indignation expressed by Santa Anna at what he1calls the perfidy of the Texan government in disappearing of the acts of the Texan commissioners, and says
 q regret much that you have given this complexion to the affairs of the two countries. When men, by chance or Providence, have been elevated to the rule of nations, and en- trusted with the protection of the best inte- rests of the people, 1t must be considered a misfortune when they entail upon them ca lamities which their duties as philanthropists saould teach them to avert.
 sWhen belligerents, evenm the most angry excitement of feelings, are arrayed against each other, 1t Is but proper that their chief tains shonld preserve towards each other that comity which might render each other ap- proachable, and hereby avert human suffering and the ehuson of human blood.-Whe war rages, all ranks and conditions are sub feet to it's agitations and calamitles. Texas has already endured the extrcmest agony, and will endeavor to profit by her experience Against her you have again denounced war We await the event.

- ---~ ---- -------- RUSSIAN DESPOTISM


 or all the unhanged scoundrcls that are permitted, for inscrutiblc purposes to go at large upon the face of this cath, Nicholas of Russia, is certainly tbe most distinguished. He issued an ordinance, or arbitrary edict, about six weeks ago, imposing new and al- most insurmountable restrictions upon egress from the Russian Empire. Heretofore, such of his subjects us wished to pass the from tier, were compelled to pay for the privilege about thirty eight dollars each. The recent ukase has quadlupled the tax it applies in- discriminatory 10 all classes, servants as we'll as masters. But this is not the worst No man can leave Russia, by paying any sum, without gracious permission from the minis ter of the interior; and to this functionary, application must be made, however distant the applicant may be. In other words, if a Russian wishes to go from Lspland into Fin mark to see friend, he must send of to St.. Petersburg for passport; and, without this passport, he dares not cross the boundary on pain of death. Nor does the ulsase stop even here, It forbids any subject of the Emperor to leave the Russian territory, till after he shall have completed his twenty-Gfth year. And yet, this same iron-hearted Nich- olas, is the handsome Emperor, who was welcomed so cordially by the Queen of Eng land and her minister, few weeks ago. We are not particularly ill-natured; but 1t would certainly give us much pleasure, nay, pure and unmingled satisfaction, to see this crown ed villain under the fists of half-a-dozen of our western buckeyes and as many iioosiers just for one quiet half hour in a pine forest.

here to reft, his present visit to Whampo4 will be short one. Nothing has yet trans pired officially of the probable success of Mir. Cushing's mission. If his excclfency insists upon going north, with the Brandywine, and the other vessels on their way from tie Uni ted States, he will be stoutly opposed, So far asmere passive hostility goes, and e9ery ob- stacle short of actual warfare thrown in his way. The report of Keeying having been appointed to negotiate with the American and French missions is a very probable one.
 From the Gazette of a later date. ssThc Imperial commissioner Keeying has arrived rom the north, empowered to treat with the American and French Ministers. Mr. Davis and Sir Henry Pottinger have both had inter- views with keeying at the Bogue, where they proceeded with the Castor frigate, and the Spltetul and Driver steamships.

During the day Consulate General has been re-establish- ed, and it's flag saluted by the town. Orders to cease all hostility, and to leave the island of Mogador, will be despatched this after noon."
 ENGLAND AND FRANeE.--lt IS gratifying to announce that all apprehension of colli- sion between us and our neighbors Is at an end The Tahiti question has been settled after fashion; the wounded feelings of the Missionary Consul, Mr. Pritchard, is to be healed by present offrancs, and the French officer who maltreated him is eensured, but hardly disgraced This mode of settling the quarrel is not palatable to many fiery persons on either side the stfaits of Dover; but sen- sibe men of both countries will regard it as practical mode of getting rid of trumpery quarrel. Louis Philippe, it is now definitely fixed, is to pay visit to his Royal Sister of England in the beginning of the ensuing month, in company with Guizot, and it is even said, Marshal Bugeaud---European Times.
