These documents have recently undergone an ex-
animation, by some gentlemen of Massachusetts,,
and the most glarng errors have been detected in
them, in many of their departments. A a,emori-
al has been addressed to the House of Represen-
,atives on the subject. These errors are many of
them of character which can be readily detected
from the contradictions evident the tables With
regard 10 the insane, deaf and dumb and blind
blacks, we notice that in almost every instance
the number thus afflicted is set DOZEN as greater
than the same table set down the solote number
of the black population. How such errors occurr-
ed dees not appear. With regard to Massachu-
setts the committee state: 'sThe undersigned have
tanned from other more reliable sources, and have
found them widely varying rem the truth; and,
more than all, they have compared the statements
in one part Of the with those another part
and have found most extraordinary discrepancies
They have also examined the original manuscript
copy of the censcs, deposited by the Msrshall oil
she District Of Massachusetts in the Clicks Office
IN Bostoa, and have compared this wrh the printed
editions OF both Blair 4 Riycs aud Thomas Allen,
and found here, too, variance Of statements. -
They also state in conclusion: ain view d these

II is now said that there is no arm;stice
existing between Mexico aud Texas. One
was concluded between the commissioners
of the two powers, but it was never ratified
by the President and Congress of Texas.
The question then, of the claim of Mexico
to Texas, must be decided on other grounds,
those grounds TO be estimated by the Senate.
We are in favor of annexation, when it can
be made consistently with our whole duty
towards other nations, but in considering the
subject, we trust the Senate will not be in
hucnccd by unfoundcd prctcns:ons which
Mexico may set up, nor by herthreats. The
Senate will doubtless so straight forward in
the path of jusiice, for we may never fear to
do an act which we know TO be right, nor
shall we ever wan: for ample power TO sus-
tain ourselves in Just cause.

John Tyler, John Calhoun, and John
Zones, are wonderful Johns aboutthese days.
5ohn Tyler has got aR idea'of the annexation
of Texas in his brain, and such is its magni-
tude, compared with o her ideas ffom the
same source, that he seems ts have gone
stark mad. John Calhoun, taking advantage
of his pitiable condition, is working him to
his own advantage, like puppct on wire,
and John Jones, without understanding a
particle of what is going forward, stands by
exclaiming " wonderfully" ''admirable!7 aud

An attempt to sinuggle on an extensive

Nine barrels, purpurting to be rosin, were ex-
amincd and found to contain inside thin
iayer OF rosln, tobacco offne quality; the du-
ty OH which was GOO The tobacco, of
course, was seized and confiscated. This
smuggling is the natural result of the high
tariff policy: 1t is "a contest between ind vi
duals and The government, and in the matter
OF the morals involved, the smuggler has the
right of the question, in our opinion. To
put money into the purses of people already
full of wealth; and 10 build up nabobs and
princes, those who get their living by their
labor instead of capital, arc taxed. by the
government ON every thing they put on their
backs and into their mouths; they must pay
double price for every thing, and the pro-
ducts of their toll, by partial and unjust laws
are absolutely flched from them. Laws
which are manifestly unjust, cannot be ex-
pec'ed to have good results in their opera
ton. They will be violated, and respect for
laws generally weakened.

We see that Captain Stockton is busily employed
in making another big gun, What a consummate-
y ridiculous thing it is: species of Boosting and
braggadoca a standing invitation for nations to try
their strength with US in war. If the government
instead of constructing these internal machines
should spend its means in diiiusing knowledge
throughout the land, lasting peace and prospe-
rity would be secured. We have no faith in the
maxim. sin time of peace prepare for war We
say rather, in time ofpeace, prepare for peace, We
are satisfied there is policy for all nations by which
uninterrupted peace may be secured, but it is not
by assuming the attitude of brawng bully on the
street corner, Wanting his strength and inviting
to try it, that it can be done but by such
policy as distinguished Penn in his intercourse with
the Indians the main feature of which is strict JUS
tice.

The holders Of the receipts given by the
late Secretary of the territory for bonds and
scrip deposited with him, are becoming
somev hat alarmed as TO the value of these
receipts. The possession Of the scrip and
bonds doubtless enabled the Secretary TO
settle his accounts with the department., and
the question is whether the Secretary has
FILLED 10 disburse, or misapplied the funds
in bis hands. We incline to the op;n Oh that
the matter is between the receipt holders
and the Secretary. The last we heard OF
this gentleman he was stumping il for Clay,
where he is now, we are not aware. Of the
chances of his nc urn 10 the territory anl
the payment of these rece p's, our readers
are IS we'll info ID cd as ourselves.
With our private op;n on OF this function
airy, we say, is it not lamentable state OF
affairs when such men are appointed 10 high
places among Us. Shall we over learn to
keep corrupt men; men of immoral habits
from stations of important public trust. We
have got to DO it, or be content TO see the
sun of our liberty go down in night Of an
archy and revolution.
There is another moral can be drawn from
this. The people hive lost enough by cor
rupt government officers annually, TO have
paid the expenses of an economical state go
yerpment.

Speaking of Association; we recently con-

could be embraced by all, the effect is high
ly beneficial. They are beyond the reach
of want of the necessities of life, and the
tone of morals is being rapidly elevated and
improved, We have also heard, that one
of the Associations i'll New York state has
got into diff uliy, the members disagrceing
among themselves. Whether the difficulty
is so great as to break up the Association
we are not aware.
We have no doubt that many associations
will be established which will meet with much
d fficulty, Indeed, we suppose there will be

kind of d fliculty, which will argue against

their infancy--ther day of doubt and strug-

ion, by day ofsuccessa and prosperity. Hea
ven-born though Genius may beard as beau

cal embellishments must of necessity be par

cleaving the waters at the rate of twelve and
fourteen miles per hour, are the indications
of growing art gradually reaching up and as

raise it TO the standard of the genius which

1t will be seen by reference to the extrac
at the head of this article, that there rs vas
