MAYOR HARPER AND THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE
Already we begin to see that the declarations Of
our new Mayor, in his message, unlike those made
by many of his predecessors, really meaat some.
thing. On last Sunday, very marked evidence
OF the reforming spirit which he has promised to
manifest, was exhibited in the closure of many OF
the low groggeries and rum-shops in various quar-
tiers Of the city. Every friend of good order and
morality must be gratified by this These vile
haunts of dissipation and Sabbath proclamation have
been sad disgrace to our city, and we trust that
before the year be terminated many, if not all, of
those low drinking shops will be closed for ever.
BY removing the means and incentives to drunk
enness amongst the low er classes, death-blow is
struck the root of vast amount of the vice. profit
gacy and crime of large cities. We have every conf
dence that under the administration of Mayor Harper
and his colleagues, much will be done to eradicate
the demoralizing vice of intemperance and to pro-
mote those habits of sobriety which are the only
foundation of individual and social order, prosper-
ty and happiness. Mr.. Harper's warm and ener-
getic attachment to the cause Of temperance was
not one of the least of his recommendations to the
suffrages of the enlightened and order-oving por-
ton of his fellow-ctizens and there is no fear that
his devotion to that cause will be less ardent and
active now that he occupies the honorable and re-
sponsbe Office Mayor Of this mighty metropolis.
We perceive that a new association called the ''Uni-
ted Brothers of Temperance" has been organized
under his auspicies. This society combines benevo-
lent and charitable purposes with the grand object
of the reformation Of the nebrate and the preven-
ton of intemperance 1t is composed of number
of highly respectable and influential men, and pro-
misses to be very popular and successful. Through
its agency and the influence of Mayor Harper, we
expect to see great impetus given to the tempe
rance cause in this city, and throughout the
try indeed, and which the mission of Father Mat
thew will increase to mighty and overwhelming
enthusiasm.

warm enough to forgive But refrain to-day from
entering on this subject. We cannot, however,
avoid directing attention TO the very remarkable
manner in which the view taken by us of the con-
duet of Bishop Hughes has been confirmed by the
subsequent progress OF events.
We shall also show, to the astonlshment of every
lover OF truth in this community, that that very re-
port which appeared in the Herald, and which the
Bishop has characterized 4" burlesque report"
as a false report-as /" studded with rbaldry"-as
fabrication Of the reporter-is the same report,
with the exception OF two words, as that ,ohich
pas made tor the Bishop by order of the Bishop, and
printed and published after having been approved by
The Bishop himseJ, in the Bishops ocm paper, the
"Freeman's Journal :" Both reports were made
by a gentleman connected with our journal, who
was requested by an agent of the Bishop to go to
Carroll Hall and report this speech, as he was the
only reporter in the city to whose skill and accuracy
Bishop Hughes willing to entrust the work ofre
porting his speech And it was owing to this cir
cumstance that we became Immediately acquainted
with the extraordinary conduct of the Bishop, and
were enabled to place his speech before readers
next morning. For reporter appreciating Of
course, the Importance Of the movement, took care
TO transfer to the columns of the Herald the impor
tant portions Of the report which he had been soil
cited TO make for the Bishops paper-the Freeman's
Jommat-and the two reports are verbatim ct Htera-
tim the same, with the exception of two words in
the description of the enthusiasm with which the
Bishops speech was received! And yet, in the
face of all this, the Bishop has the hardhood to
characterize our report "burlesque report"
But all this, too, shall more fully expose anon
Thus much for to-day. We shall rePublish to-
morrow, soon possible, this pastoral letter
of Bishop Hughes on the wickedness Of the age
and his own sufierings accompanying it, with full
and conclusive statement, based on the most ire
fragable evidence of the truth and accuracy of
every syllable we have published respecting
Bishop Hughes, and the propriety of every
position we have assumed. 1t will take some
time to do this completely, and we shall go
on from day to day till the work be finished, clear
and perfect, in workmanlike manner Before
we have done with Bishop Hughes-without in
tending any profanity in comparing right rever
end father in God to the dipomatist of
lovely danse,se-we hope to be able to place him,
so far respects truth and accuracy of statement,
in pretty much the same predicament that we placed
Chevalier Wikof. And this we pledge ourselves
tOldo. 1t will be very interesting discussion, be-
cause it will lead lis 10 the very root and fountain
of those deplorabe feelings and prejudices which
have led to such denouement of blood and confla-
grafton as we have recently witnessed in Phila
delphia.

TEXAS.

OF the many reasons which recommend ihe
.doprion of Texas as part OF this Union, not
,monp the least is, the kindly and eleva'ing In
fluence which would flow in upon that land from
The labors of the ministry, and the literary in-
sttutions of this country. These benign innu-
ences would be powerfully exerled immediately
upvn the contamination Of The union. YIN
characteristic zeal our religious and literary
institutions would instantly enter upon their be-
Inefficient labors. Mullitudes of educated, enter
prising youth would pour in upon thar country
when they could do so without expalrialing
themselves, and the progress OF improvement
would prove them worthy the parenlage LETT be-
hind. If Texas be left to herself, her progress
must be slow the dissemination of religious IN
structon and literature would be scan.y and
feeble. She would remain an ignorant aud
dangerous neighbor; she might be open TO the
introduction Of slaves not only INTO her own ter
ritory, but into ours also. refusal to annex
might augment the evils aud dangers Of slavery,
while a union would draw ihiherward the en-
tire black population. Every consideration OF
philanthropy the extension OF religious and lit
erary instruction, equally with commercial ad-
vantagrs and national defence, conspire TO urge
annexation. The proverbial zeal of the minis
try of this country, and the great flood of indus
trious population which would s,tte in that
land, would soon render it as honorable TO itself
as profitable 10 US.
IL experience be Of any value, we might have
hoped il would have taught lesson of modesiy
and wisdom to those who so furousIy opposed
the annexation OF Louisiana. The fearful pre-
dictions Of evil, ofdssouion, of war, OF civil dis
cord, and servile rebellion, of TOO large terItorry,
&c, alarmed many II these croaking prophets
had succeeded in deprivng US Of Louisiana,
san magnify the evils which in that event would
have afflicted our land2 The marvellous advan
tages which we have reaped exceed all calcula-
tons. Audyel, strange to say, the parties now
Texas, are the very same whose wisdom dis
covered such monstrous dangers in the annexa-
ton Of Louisiana. Time has robbed them of
those fears, and we can promise them an equal
ly agreeable disappointment Of their fears upon
the annexation Of Texas. Who are the more
worthy Of confidence, those whose sagacty
foIesaw the vial importance and Astounding ad-
vantsges which the nation would reap from the
acquisition Of Louisiana, or those who could
foresee only terrible calamites2 The same
parties now offer Texas, the same parties now
fancy mischief 10 the scheme.

EXTRACTS FROM OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.

In compliance with promise made yester-
day to our correspondent, "a. b." we publish
the letters of Mr. Clay and Mr.. Van Buren, TO
our Ministers 10 Mexico.
Every reader will be struck with the very
earnest desire manifested by both parties for the
annexation of Texas and most assuredIy the
reasons which they give were well calculated
to impress upon our Ministers The necessity Of
securing Texas 10 this country. Those reasons
are not of a transient character, but have, every
day from that time, augmented in importaIce,
until at last they have become imperative, TO
obtain the territory whenever il can be done.
Both Mr.. Adams and General Jackson were will
ling to purchase this uncultivated territory -
Now il is under extensive cultivation, is vastly
more important 10 US, and the dangers feared
from Mexican proximity are much enhacced by
neighbor still more dangerous. The activity
and enterprise Of Texas being much more likely
to occas on collision, Than would sluggish Mex
ico Texas would have cost the United States
much money then; it is worth twenty times
the amount now.
