"The resolution for the annexation OF
Texas received the united voles of the

they will receive the united voice of all
Louisanians, as their safety and happi-
ness depend upon il.

From the NeD Orleans Coarier.
GENERAL JACKSON.

Every thing that relates to this old hero
and patriot, is interesting to the American
people. We cannot refrain, therefore,
indeed we think it our duty-lolay before
the readers of the Courier, an extract from
letter written 10 his friend aud ancient
associate in arms, General PLAucnE, from
which il will oe perceived that he is as
n uch animated hy love Of country as ne
was thirty years ago. when he expelled The
British invaders from The soil of Louisiana.
We are happy and proud TO hear The
sentiments Of the General on The subject
of the Presidential election. aud his pre-.
dictons Of the result. No nau in the Union
has fuller or more accurate Information
on tina, subject: and none is capable of
drawing more correct conclusion from
facts. But here is the extract:
Hermitage, June Ia, 1874.
"My Dear GeneraI-Texas in posses
sion of England. or under her influence,
and where would be the safety Of our from
tier from Indian depreciation, and of the
South aud West from servie war q
Great Britain would organize an army on
the west bank ofthe Sabine, then declare
war, and in six days, with light troops,
seize Baton Rouge. Having turned all
our Notifications. New Orleans would fall;
and having command Of the ocean, it
would cause loss TO US Of fifty thousand
lives, and millions of money to regain it.
"Texas is the key to our safety from
British influence and British invasion /
say accep, her hand while she holds it out
to US, and shut the door against all future
danger, regardless Of consequences.
nNo one could regret more than l did,
the position in which my friend MIR. Van
Buren placed himself by his letter on The
annexation of Texas. Had he come out
for immediate annexation, he would have
received the unanimous vote Of The con-
vention as candidate for the Presidency,
and would have been elected by the South
and West by acclamation. Although |
regret losing Mr.. V.B. and The cause. yet
/ rejoice that the convention have made
choice of those worthy Democrats, Polk
and Dallas. They arc the strongest and
best selection that could have been made;
true in all their political principles open
iniheir opinions frank and firm in their
desires for the immediate annexation oil

AN Un-PLEASANT. AFFAIR.


Our readers will, probably, expect from
us an account of The "afair" between Mr..
John Tyler, Jnn.. and Hugh S. Plea
SAINTS, said 10 be an associate editor of the
Richmond Wing. The cause of quarrel.
as will be recolIected. was a rep " to
most infamous attack OF The Whig upon
the President, in which reply Mr.. Tyler
spoke in severe, but, merited terms of the
attacks which had been made upon his
father, and his family, and denounced The
author of those attacks, and especially the
last, in terms not to he misundersl ood.
This note of Mr.. Tyler's was dated the
23d Of May, Two days after the offensive
article appeared in the Wing. A month
was suffered TO elapse bofore any notice Of
the note was taken, as published in the
Enquirer, when Hugh r. PIeasants be-
came The putalive father, of The offensive
article, and sent challenge to Mr.. Tyler,
s,ipulating, as we under stand, that North
Carolina should he The battle ground, al
though Bladensburg, the Fort Woods, and
Old Point was suggested by the challenged
party.
On Sunday morning, the 30tb ul,imo.
Mr.. Tyler arrived in Norfolk, and took
The boal to Old Point, coming up in The
evening, no suspicion ofthe object Of his
visit being excited in The bosom of any
one. On Tuesday, following. however,
Pleasants arrived, and by his conduct a,
the Car Office. and the Crawford House.
soon aroused suspicion. He was permit
ted TO depart without an arrest, however.
and while in the Cars he requested the
Conductor to introduce him by the name
Of Hughes, which the Conductor did, but
which was almost Immediately contra.
dicted by Peasanrs. himself, avowing that
he was one Of the Editors of the Wing.
The meeting was fixed 10 take place on
the afternoon of the 4th instant. and at ihe
appointed time, Mr.. Tyler was on the
ground, but Mr.. Peasan,s had gone 10
parts unknown. We forbear making any
comments, being simply desirous that the
truth should be known. We understand
that the Second Of Mr.. Pleasanis offered
to take the place Of his absconded Princi-
pal, and render that satisfaction which lhe
"laws of honor" always require in such
case, but Mr.. Tyler declined such meet
ing, having no cause Of quarrel with the
gentleman, he having done all in his power
to bring his Principal TO the Iground, aud
as 10 blame could be attached 10 the Sc.
cond. Those presen, separated in friend.
