TEXAS AND THE DEMOCRACY. :.
The New York Evening Post, after the election

in New York, had the following paragraph:
elf the effect of the nomination Of MIR. Polk. ap-
parently under the auspices Of those who desired
the immediate annexation of Texas, instead OF Mr..
Van Buren,, who was prescribed because ne disap-
proved of the measure had not been eltralized by
the nomination Of Governor openly entertaining
and acting upon the same opinions WITH Mr.. Van
Buren,, the State would inevitably have been lost.
This is a very frank confession; but as It comes
after the election the Post does not deserve much
credit for IT, What commentary it is upon the
party! Mr.. Van Buren, is elected from the Ralti-
more Convention BY the adroit man9uvring Of the
minority because he is averse to annexation. and
Mr. Polk nominated because he is in favor Of it
The party in New York, opposed to annexation,
act, nevertheless with the southern party in sup
port Of the Baltimore nominee; yet,to secure New
York. fad It necessary to nominate man for Cow
ernor who, upon the main issue made by the Demo-
Gratis themselves, is opposed to the views Of this
Presidential nominee This is now confessed by
the organ of the party. Combining with such wide
ly different professions is one thing acting upon
them now they have the power, 10 another.
