Lord .qberdecn's despatch to Mc. Pachenham.

This paper is as explicit as it could well be,
and totally annihiates the argument in favor of
Annexation, derived from apprehensions OF Great
Britain. 1t declares in substance,
LIST. That the British Government feels lively
interest in the recognition, by Mexico, of Texan
Independence, because it is of opinion that such
recognition would be of advantage to both.
I'd. That though ii is well known TO the Uni
ted States and to the world, that Great Britain
takes a lively interest in the abolition Of slavery
throughout the earth, ii has not, and will not, take
any secret or dScredItabe means to effect that
object. With regard to Texas the British Govern
men, would rejoice TO see Slavery abolished there,
and to have it made a condition in the Treaty be-
tween that country and Mexico. Yet he expressly
discIaims any intention to interfere directly, in
directly, TO compel or control either party.
Sd. That Great Britain does not desire TO estab-
lish any dominant influence in Texas, but only
wishes TO share its favors the same footing
with other nations. Her objects entirely com
merclal and she does not wish TO operate through
Texas upon the United la,es.
4th. The British Government has never sought
and will never seek to stir up disaIection, or any
kind ofexcement in the slaveholdine States Of the
Union She has never made any difference be-
tween the slave and free State, in her intercourse
with the Union, but has always treated them as
members of the same body. How much so ever
she might desire to see Slavery abolished i'm this
country she has never taken any means to produce
I such result.
We cannot imagine how any declaration could
possibly be more satisfactory.
The National Inteligencer Of Tuesday morning
says:
ii is understood that the Members of the Senate
are justly indignant at the violation of the privilege
es Of that BODY by the disclosure of the particulars
Of the Texas Treaty and the papers accompanying
it and, if common report is to be trusted, that
they had the subject under consideration yester.
day in secret session, and are determined to probe
the matter 10 the bottom, and to punish the de-
lirquent if discovered.
The Washington Spectator says
1t is probable the Editors Of the Evening Post
will be invited to impart what knowledge they
possess upon the subject to the Senate in pro-
prio persona.
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1844-05-09

But 1t now wears different aspect, and pre-
SCENTS Itself IN much more formidable attitude.
There are many and strong reasons or believing
'hat the abolition of domestic slavery throughout
the continent and islands of America is the lead
ing objectin the present policy of England If
that policy was confined TO her own domnons
we should have no right to complain.
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1844-05-09

But II 1t be her purpose 20 extend her policy 10
other countries, and 10 use her influence TO bring
about a state of things calculated seriously to al
feet the institutions of nearly half the States of
our Union, the duty which we owe, not only to
our interests, but to our independence and dgni-
ty, demands prompt and decided confederation
on our part.
The remarks of Lord Brougham and Lord
Aberdeen. in the House of Lords, on the 18Th of
August, as reported in the London Morning Chron-
icie OF the succeeding day, have attracted the
Presidents attention.
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1844-05-09

The President would be reluctant TO believe
that any design unlriendly to this country, or
aiming at the institutions of any of the States Of
our Union, enters into the policy of England
lie cannot, however, look with indifference upon
such declarations as these, made by her leading
statesmen, and with tho FOL! authority Of her Co
veTnment. He attaches the more importance 10
these declarations, because they perfectly con-
slsent with information received from other
sources, all tending TO the conclusion that the po-
licy of England, in regard TO the abolition of ne
gro slavery, is not limited to Texas alone
Hence it is of great importance that this gov-
eminent should be fully and accurately informed
in regard to the intentions and measures of the
British Government with reference to African
slavery on this side the Atlantic. Our own po-
licy Will necessarily be affected by hers.
The object of this government is 10 discover
whether IT is or is not the design of England 10
procure the abolition of negro slavery in Texas !;
whether it is or is not contemplated in her policy
to destroy affect that institution as il exists in
some Of the Slates Of our Union; what measures
she has pursued and is pursuing for the accom-
plishment of those objects, or either of them.
cannot Of course point out TO you the channels
through which this information may be best ac-
CURED. Its probable that much may be learned
by free communication with the Texan charge d.
aiiaires in London.
Much information may doubtless be obtained
from private individuals and from the published
proceedings Of abolition societies. All these
sources Of information, however, are only Of
secondary and auxiliary character The circum-
stances of the case justify and require direct
to Lord Aberdeen himself.

And why Because the people would never

defeated-he was a candidate for seat in the

hind his ticket, and was always badly beaten IN
his own township, among his immediate neigh

having "tasted Of the corruptions of office"
from the fact that his neighbors never would
elect him, although he has been running nearly
all his life time. The people OF Westmore-

We stated in our last paper, that the
Ladies of the "SEwING SOCIETY" intended
to open their FAIR on Wednesday, the 25th
inst; in this, we were mistaken, the Fair
will commence on TUESDAY EVENING
neat, the Gath, Christmas Eve.
Its almost useless for us TO say any thing
in praise Of this laudabe and arduous enter.
prise OF urge upon the community the i'm.
portance Of sustaining and encouraging the
ladies Of this place in so great and glorious
an undertaking. No one can imagine the
toll, labor and anxiety they have undergone
10 get up something worthy Of their skill
and Imagination, whereby they might assist
in freeing from debt the House Of God.
We have been informed by some of the
members of the Society, that it is their in
tention to have the approaching Fair to far
surpass the previous Fairs in point ofquan
tity and variety Of articles; should they dc
so, we may anticipate splendid affair.
As it will be "Christmas tines, we hope
TO see a good turn Of our Benton and coun.
try friends.
