which hasb moved this subject, os ~ lsast thSy
are the cauoe X pauch Of the zeal manlfosted IN
favor Of the SnQAxatIon by the few who espodse
that cause. W. mean not to charge all with be-
ing actuatsd u spvcrdid and unworthy motive,
by no means M we believe, and therefore say,
that there are rsany and those most active in en-
deavoring to bring about the annexation who are
deeply interested, and who will realize more than
thousand per cent. upon their OUTLAWS shonld
that scheme be accomplished. Are the people OF
the United States prepared to assume the debt OF
Texas for the benefit Of the spectators who have
I" been kept advissd the progress OF The negot'a-
lions for anneration?" We humbly think not
But one of the terms is, that Texas shall have
hoo representatives in the House OF Represent
atves. Why does the matchmaking power I'M
dertake to say how many representatives any
integral part ofathe Union shall have! Why
con6ne her representatives TO two? Why not
say twenty, fifty, or one hundred? AS the num-
Der is an arbitrary one, the Executive has just
as much right to fix the number of her repre-
sentatives at one, or even two hundred, as al
two.
We do not believe Mr.. Calhoun will ever as
sent to any such terms as those above stated ];
that he will ever assen: to the assumption OF the
Texan debt, or to stipulation that she shall
have any given tamber of representatives. If
the treaty-making power can annex Texas to the
United States upon the above terms, they can
annex Mexico to it also, if she would agree to
the terms, upon condition that the United States
should assume her immense public debt, and
that she should have FIVE hundred representatives
in the House of Representatives. Nay, they
need not stop at the southern bounds Of Mexico
but include every foot of the South American
continent, provided the various republics Of that
continent, and the empire Of Brazil, would agree
to form treaty Of annexation.

forty millions pounds Of lsad. worth ane million
OF dollars, Ii likewise abounds In copper II II
to be sol down as q drawback upon the advant-
ages of this most desirable region, that the up
per Mississippi is closed by ice four months in
the year.
The Ohio is represented as subject to great
auctuation in its volume of water. In the sum-
mer and fall it is impossible to all but the small
lest boats, while in the spring the sudden melt
ing of the ice ard snow upon the mountains,
which disgorge themselves through its channel,
cause il to rise to great height-in one instance
to sixty-three feet above low water. These
freshets cause an annual renewal of the impedi-
ments TO navigation by deposites of sand, logs,
&c. The efforts of Government to alleviate the
evil, have been OF great service, as is evinced by
the following facts:
In the year ending September, 1888, 1860
snags were taken out of the Mississippi and 10000
trees removed from its banks, where they must
necessarily have tumbled into the current. From
1922 to 1897, the loss of property on the Ohio
and Mississippi by snags alone, including steam
boats, fat boats, and their cargoes, amounted to
81 1862 900. The losses from 1927 to 1882 were
only 1881 900, owing to the valuable service rem
dered by the snag-boats. The memorialists re-
greet the discontinuance of the use of these snag
boats, which had proven so salutary. The snags,
it seems, have again accumulated in the river,
and occasion much hazard and loss of life and
property. 1t is ascertaned that in 1889, there
were forty steamboats, lost; forty-one in 1910 /;
twenty-nine in 1871 ; and twenty-eight IN 1912:
making total in four years of one hundred and
thirty eight steamboats, 1t is estimated that the
insurance Offices pay 100000 per annum for los
SEES by steamboats, in this way and that further
losses are sustained to the amount of 100000
more without insurance-all in consequence OF
distractions in the rivers.
We have thus plVen condensed statement ut
the principal facts and objects of the memorial
which we would recommend to the perusal en-
tire, of all who desire information upon this i'm
portant subject. The memorial is drawn up with
great ability, and even elegance of style and
manner.

THE DISMAL SWAMP WING MEETING
THE GLOBE.

The Globe few days since contained an ami
mated account of a Wing meeting in the Dismal
Swamp on the first of April, at which were pres
ent Bulls and Bullfrogs, Raccoons, Opossoms, &c,
&c. We are authorised to say that the speech
attributed to Mr.. Opossom is a buresque affair
and that in no part of his remarks upon that
sion, did he use the disrespectful language attrib
uted to him in reference to the Coons on the
contrary, he spoke in the highest terms Of them
We are further warranted in saying that the as
semblagc of four-footed and feathered tribes al
Drummond's Pond on that day, was, with single
exception, respectable. The exception alluded
to is the buzzard editor of the Globe, who perch
ed himself upon the dead limb of tree which
overhung the assembly, for the purpose of report
ing its proceedings, and by occasionally emitting
the foul contents of his stomach, occasioned no
small Inconvenience to all present The Eagle
felt strongly inclined to hur him from his lofty
seat but he of the Globe, being thrice mailed in
the foetid atmosphere which he had created, gave
himself no uneasness.
We are authorized to contradict the assertion
Of the Globe that the Weasel was present. and to
deny that he belongs to the Wing party-neither
was the Fox Of Undertook there, or any of the
fox family, who are all Locofocos, and dare not
show themselves in respectable company.

DESPERATE AssAULT.-We learn from the
from the Annapolis Republican that about half
past one o'clock on Wednesday, as John Fl. +.
Magruder, Esq. State Librarian, was returning
from the Post office, and when at the avenue lead
ing to the City Hotel, perusing letter, Townley
c. Lockerman walkedup behind him, and very de-
lberately struck him violent blow on the back
IF the head, with huge hickory walking stick,
thereby Frustrating him to the earth. He was
picked up in cold lifeless condition, and it was
several minutes before life was perceptible
We are very happy to state, that the wound
inflicted is not considered dangerous. No cause.
can be assigned for the rash act 1t will be re-
membered that this same person attacked Hon.
John G. LIE Grand last summer in a somewhat
similar manner. Lockerman was Immediately
taken into custody by the High Sheriff, and after
and after an examination before Justice Hunter,
was held to bail in the sum of $500, for his APP
pearance before Anne Arundel County Court,
which meets on Monday next
