I7It is reported that the New York Plebian
Editor, published grea: number of political
tracts. and sent them into Connecticut to pre-
JUDGE the Wing cause, in the election which
has just off; but to the utter astonish-
ment of the Locos, they converted their voters
into Wings, as their tracts proved to the good
men of that State, that the Locos were going
for English labor against American SO they
would not stand that kind of policy. The poor
Locos finding that these foul missiles were pro-
duciug a vast change in the public mind. and
their cause was greatly weakened by them, or
dcred them to be collected and burnt. This
will be the fate of Amos Kendall's Tracts, with
which the country is threatened 10 be deluged.

NATURAL FOUNTAIN OF HYDROGEN Gas
AT FoRr CRATIC T.-Dr. Smith, OF the Med
cal and Surgical Journal is Indebted to Lieut.
Marrow, of the u. S. Army, for the following
account of natural curiosity in the Westel u
country.
have Just returned from visit to place
a short distance rom here, where discovery
has recently been made. which appears 10 me
TO he very Curious. A farmer about SIX miles
from here, was boring for water, and had PEN
etrated the earth one hundred and fifteen feet,
whep, upon drawing out his auger. he heard
deep gureling noise at the bottom of the hole
he had made, and immediately column of gas
burst from it with the most terrific violence,
rising 10 the height of seventy feet, carrying
with it stones and pieces Of clay the size OF a
pigeons egg, and attended with noise very
similar to that ofetting offstcam from large
steamboat. This coatinued, with undated
violence, for thirty-six hours, when it moder
ated a little. and pipe was inserted into the
hole with AAsop cock. The proprietor has
attached tBsths smallar pipes. which convey
the gas into his house, and light it in the most
brilliant manner imaginable. 1t appears to be
hydrogen gas, almost pure it burns with
lambent blue flame, without odor. eXtnguish-
es flame when immersed in il. and possesses
the properties of hydrogen, according to all the
tests that it was in my power to apply at the
time.

LAMENTATIONS OF TEXAS.

Tbe h;ph excitement which las prevailed for
the last few weeks, upon the subject of the an
nexation of Texas TO the United States is Begin
ming to subside-
The two great leading parties of the natloP'
finding il impossible to make it party question
seem willing for the time, TO avoid its agitation'
There can be but little doubt, however, that the
Senate will be forced TO act on the subject. Mr..
Tyler, with his recently appointed Secretary
Mr. Caihoun, will, if the President, has not al,
ready done SO, in all pr, b tbiity c'nsum-
mate the treaty of annexation, Sd far as the sig
nature ofthc President can effect IT, The Seha.e'
then, will be compelled to assumea definite po-
sition upon this measure. IS there are many
Democrats and Wings. that are opposed to am
nexatlon, and mary of both parties who are IN
favor of It, there is possibility of destroying
the present party lines, and organizing third
party Oh the lone question of annexation. 1t
this should he effected, Mr.. Tyler and Mr.. Cali
houn hope to head the newly organized Texas
party. How far they succeed in their
project, cannot yet, be definitely known, as the
present parties are not at all disposed to intro
duco any other points of policy upon which they
differ, until after the coming Presidential elec-
ton In what minner they can act, if called
on by the president to ratiiy the treaty with
Texas, without committing them selves, either in
favor or against annexation, cannot be conceive
ed; yet it is possible, they may, parties, agree,
that the present time is inauspicious, and that
the subject should be presented to the people,
before the treaty making power, should act def
nitey, and finally, upon the measure, and as
such, they may vete TO lay the whole matter on
he table for the present. If The action of the
Senate should render it necessary, for the two
prominent candidates for the Presidency, TO cx~
press their views on the annexation, then it viii
become subject Of popular interest. Every
paper in the Union will be engaged in its discus
sion. 1t will become the lone principle upon
which the next Presidency is to be determined
In this event, we slall cheerfu.ly enlist, during
the war, but for the present, we think ii unneces
sary so say more.
