The Annexation Excitement.
We are in the midst of great excitement in
New York What it will produce no one can yet
exactly tell but that it will have most important
bearing on the various political movements through
out the country no can doubt. The simulta-
neous publication OF the Texas Treaty and docu-
ments, also Mr.. Clays letter and Mr.. Van Buren's,
with the recent movements of political parties, and
the position of Clay, Van Buren,, and other can
didates, begin to make the caudron in this great
capital "bubble-bubbe-te and trouble"
At this early period Of the new excitement, it is
difficult somewhat to "get the hang of it," as a
long-shore man would express it, Certain small
interests, however, have taken their position, some
In favor OF and some violently opposed to annexa-
ton But the great mass Of the people are very
calmly and quietly awaiting the movement of the
waters, before they make up their minds, wha
II IS best TO do about 1t. Wall street, and the
newspapers OF Wall street are very violent against
the Treaty-against the documents, and favorable,
OF course, to the supposed opposition presented by
Mr. Clay. A great many of the wings, however,
the friends of Mr. Clay, regard his letter in diff
ferent light, and think it is much in favor of the
measure as it is against it, and also very nationally
consider that the ausion to Canadian Republic
is very pregnant one and will tend to irritate the
British Government more than anything that has
been yet said or done.
In the meantime, the excitement goes on, and
we perceive that, originating with the late Ty-
Ter Convention, meeting Of all in favor Of annex
alton, without distinction Of party has been called
for Thursday evening next in the Park. If this be
a distinct Tyler movement, it, of course, wont
amount to much; but it it should turn ont to be
a movement of all those belonging to all parties
who in favor of the enlargement of our present
boundaries, there may be very large meeting, and
1t may express very enthusiastic feeling in favor of
annexation. At all events, we will watch the
movement Of the waters, and report their rise and
fall as accurately in our power. We are GER
tanly on the verge OF most important changes IN
relation to public opinion and public men. This
Texas question is going to play the devil with the
politicians of he two old parties. Mr.. Clay evil
IDENTIFY shows his dread and alarm, and Mr.. Van
Buren, will discover that he also feels himself to be
in a somewhat perplexing predicament No one
can tell what six months may bring forh--no one
can tell how this may play tricks with all the hack
politicians, and ii will be impossible for them to
prevent the action of the people on this or any other
question.

TO THE HON. WILLIE p. MANGUM

Mr. Benton aud the Globe object to the Treaty be-
cause Of Mr.. Cslhoun's letter to Mr.. Packenham.--
They assume that Northern Senators will vote against
IT, because MIR. Calhoun protests against the attempt
of the British Government to abolish slavery in
Texas Tie words are
aMr. Calhoun hunts up an obsolete letter written
by Lord Aberdeen to Mr. Paekenham, the British
Minister at Washington, denying that England de-
signed to interfere with slavery in Texas and Mr..
Calhoun, in an oblique reply to this letter, not ad
dressed to him. puts the remuneration Of Texas upon
ground. which would certainly repel every Northern
vote from the support Of the measure"
Now, sir, important as | conceive the Annexation
OF Texas to be, the feature presented by this OBJ
,oe,e letter. Of Lord Aberdeen is, as believe, the
most important in the case That was written
a, In. open declaration that the purpose Of the Bri
tab Government Is TO abolish slavery wherever II
exists. and that she Is now exer,ing her in
docpce with Mexico TO make il one Of the
conditions. Of acknowledging the Independence Of
Tcra, II was written TO be delivered to this
Government When MIR Calhoun reached Wash

to reply to II, else by his silence, admit that Eng

The old man came to his grave to die,
White was his hair, and dim his eye
Lord Of the crook d and sapless limb,
Distance and toll were naughl 10 him.
Over the bill and through the vale,
Onward he marched so weak and pale
Banners OF innocence round him waved,
Beautiful ones his blessing craved
Blessing nor answering word he gave,
lie held communion with the grave
Room fol- the dying veteran, room,
Glory's field shall be vaior's tomb.
Again be stands on the dsa,hess height,
Well does his dim eye mark the fight
Onward the brstlng legions come,
Trumpet and bugle hail the drum
Prescott, the dauntIess, meets the van
Who's like the old militiaman
Comrades around him fall in gore,
Over him breaks the battles roar
Billows of quivernY flame arise,
Over the battle sacrifice.
Howe advances and Warren falls,
Slowly the patriots leave their walls
Night, with her dark and starless wing,
Sits on the battling hills King.
The old man safe on the hill alone,
Over him lowered the sPEAKINu stone.
Ages had passed since he had seen
The lovely bay and its hills of green,
Mystical words from bis thin lips fell
Words TINT a uportaI f~a IN oil
Long he gazed, and memory, true,
Brought the forgotten ad to view,
Tears fell thick and ears fell fast,
What was THE PRESENT to the past7
he looked to evening sky, and said
While the stars shone out on his silver head
"My soul ascends on noiseess wings,
And, like the bird Of the morning, sings
hear, as pass the nights pale noon,
The Growing cocks in the morning moon,
And see thy banners, eternal day,
Advance on the Frightening milky way
And mark the tents Of the heavenly host,
On lawns of light in the deep blue lost.
But stay-what means that muttering drum
It's revelIie-I come, come
Skeleton death, in vain yc ffown,
Dear 10 me is your iron crown;
You bid me enter the deathless band,
To guard the FLAG Of the spirit land"
The old man turned to the silent hill
And his eye was fixed, and his heart was still
Morn came, and they found the old man there,
And his hands were claspcd as one in prayer.
