complete triumph of the wings. In cv-

democratic strength, so as 10 secure all
the other districts 10 themselves-in that
district they have elected their man.

The steam ship N. York arrived on
Wednesday last at New Orleans, from
Galveston, bringing dates to the 18th
Feb. From N. Orleans and Texas pa
pers we make the following summary
of news.
The story about the annexation Of
Texas to the United States turns out 10
be humbug, as we thought it would
The Houston Democrat of the 18th has
the following:
THAT E1tra.-Thc glorious news
promulgated through an extra of the
Telegraph, appears TO have produced
quite sensation throughout the country
Unfortunately, however, tho whole sto-
ry proves to be hoax. The Joyous
smiles Of Gen. Murphy, and the 'bur-
nlshed arms Of American troops, spark
ling in the waters Of the Neuces; were
too much for us; and we freely confess
that we ourselves came very nigh being
caught as we'll as others. Gen. Murphy
appears to enjoy the joke exceedingly,
as we learn from our Washington cor
respondent that his Joyous smiles have
expanded into regular horse laugh"
The Telegraph ofthe same date, how
ever, does not entertain that opinion
on the contrary, it has the following par
agraph:

confirmation Of Mr. Wise, has the fol-
lowing:
"This mission to Brazil has quite e

Emperor solicited few years since
that Mr. Hunter, a most faithful and ac
ceptable officer at Rio, in the capacity
Of Charge d'Afiairs, should be promot-
ed 10 a Minister PIenipo,entiary. The
Executive recommended, and Congress,
from respect to the high source whence
it emanated, complied with the recon-
mendation. Mr. Hunter keeps his place
under the present administration until
it is necessary TO give it TO one Of his

Our whig brethren throughout the
Union are girding on their political ar
NOR. Political Information is already
beginning to be widely disseminated
through the instrumcntaiiy of Clay
Clubs, established in every direction a
round US. Will the staunch whig coun-
~ ofPonola remain q lislless spectator
in the approaching canvass, which is
destined, like that OF 1910, to be q trc-
mendous struggle, and in all human
probability Waterloo 10 one party or
the other?--the county of Pamela, over
which, though the waves oflocofoco cor
rnplion with their slime of Re3udiation
have rolled mountain high around her,
they have not swept! The wings Of
Pamela can be spared, it is true, from the
triumphant legions, who will challenge
the admiration Of the world TO their gal
liant rally in defence Of the standard
under which they have obtained, no, 4
victory, bu, conquest! But, when the
battle RACES and is fcrces,, when the
array Of battle is displayed, when the
troops are gathering in their several
rendezvous, or even in the equipment
and the company drill, no good soldier
will stand idle, with arms unburnished-
no true Republican,, who has even a
rusty musket or broken pitch!ork,
will forget that he is a citizen, and
should be a patriot!
In the approaching campaign the peo-
pie want FACTS-light, light, light
Let a mirror be held up TO the craft Of
Lindenwold-to its 'spoils' doctrine and
its 'spoils' practice-let the use Of the
''coheslye power Of public plunder" for
/ all the term Of his Administration, be
laid bare to the public gaze, and brought
arresh to the recollection of the great
jury Of American People who pronounced
upon him their verdict Of GUILTY in
1910, and the result viii prove their
| Judgment unchanged and their patriotism
unninching.

sort to the most efficient means for the

ted and new one formed, subordinate

1t would seem by the annexed extract
also from the Democrat, that some per-
sons in Texas as wei! as in this coun-
try, think that annexation is far from
being desirable' The Democrat says:
"From Information also, which we
have derived from a source which leaves
no room TO doubt its correctness, rela-
tive to the pending negotiations with
Mexico, aud the very favorable des-
patches recently received by our gov
ernment, we are strengthened IN the
conviction, that under present circum-
stances at least, annexation is far from
being desirable"
The same paper also contains The
correspondence between the Texan
Charge d'Affairs in London, and Lord
Aberdeen, the Foreign Secretary, on
the subject OF slavery. The Texan
Minister speaks ofcerlain persons being
engaged in "endeovoring 10 produce the
abolition Of slavery in Texas" and who
have endcavored TO obtain the co-ope-
ration Of Her Majesty's Government,
and informs his Lordship that such par
ties ''are in no manner recognised bv

Mr. Smith is fully aware Of the contin-
ued anxiety Of Her Majes,y's govern

in Texas, bu; in all parts Of the world;
and it is matter Of no surprise to the un-
dersigned that private individuals, who

MIR. POLK'S FIRST PRESIDENTIAL

On the Both ult. Mr. Polk was received at Nash.
vile by his party with demonstrations Of great Joy
and on that occasion he made very short speech,
the gist of which we give. After exhorting his
party to remember in their reocings that the Wings
have also rights entitled to equal respect and re-
gard, he said:
"ln the position in which have been placed, by
the voluntary and unsought sufiragcs ormy fellow
citizens, it will become my duty, as it will be my
pleasure, faithfully and truly to represent, in the
Executive department of the government, the prin.
ciples and policy Of the great party of the country
who elevated me to it; but at the same time it is
proper that should declare, that shall not regard
myself as the representative of party only but Of
the whole people Of the United States; and trust
that the future policy of the government may be
such as to secure the happiness and prosperity OF
all without distinction of party"
This bears the appearance of patriotism and VIC
would gladly hope that Mr. Polk will really aim tc
be the President of the whole people, not of party
However, when Mr. Polk has unequvocaly pedg
ed himself " faithfully and truly to represent the
principles and policy of the great party" to which
he belongs, we do not how he is to be any thing
but party tool
