We shlll say but few words more on III

VIC SItt say Dul lcW WOIuS more on ne
subject of reckless legislation. That there
h s been reckless legislation we have never
denied, and that II has been detrimental II
the territory, is also flct. We contended
nothing more thln that both parties were
equally respons bic in the matter, and 50 con
tended OH the ground that in all those scs-
sons of the Legislature where reckless le-
g'sl ton was had, the wings were IN a majo-
rty in one or the other branch of the assem-
bly,. Such being the flcf, it WIS then plain
" in their power TO arrest reckless Icgisla-
ton if they chose, indeed the reckless legs
laion could not be perfected without their
assistance. We do not see how they can
escape respons billy. We stated also. that
The last two sessions of the Legislature were
the only ones III which the Democrats were
in IN .jorty in both branches, and these
sessions were the least detrimenIal-c
ted without any expense TO the territory and
with he least expense to the general govern
ment Tbs has no been and cannot be d 5
proved With what honesty then, can the
editor of the American call upon The people
10 relieve the territory from the bjghting /.
ftcts of loco-foco;sm. Bat he must say
something, and this is good to repeat rs any
thing else.
Those who arc honest can see without
difficulty the causes OF reckless legislation
L may evidently be attributed to the fact thai
the general government paid the expenses
of oar leg slaturc, which relieved the people
from that bur;hen, and destroyed the rcspon-
si5illiy usually felt on the part of the repre-
sentative towards his constituents. A few
years since when ii was believed The gcner-
al government would p1y all debts cohfrac-
tod of whatsoever character, there appeared
to be an ambition TO contract as many debts
as possible, IN ambition confined by no means
to any pariicularpIrty. Lite years have de-
monsrated that the government will not pay
these debts, and in view of ii. the people
have become interested in the matter. and
their representatives feel that it becomes
them TO exercise due prccauiion. When
we say that the last two sessions of the lcgs-
lature have contracted no new debts. we do
not mean to be understood as arrogating to
the democracy that it is because hey were
in The ascendant; we believe that whilst the
wings were equally reckless and cxtravagant
with the democracy in earlier times. so when
their eyes became opened TO the facts, were
they equally disposed to exercise a proper
economy.
We doubt the possibility Of any ono who
is not naturally So constituted, learning TO be
a gentleman, but we think most any one may
learn 10 practice common honesty. VIII

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS AND SLAVERY

ANNEXATION OF EXAS AND ISLANERN.-
The wings of the north are opposed 10 the
annexation of Texas, chiefly because it vii
tend to perPetuate slavery. In the south.
where the consequences of annexation are
probably much better understood than at the
north, the question is.regarded by many in a
different light. Cen Waddy Thompson, of
South Carolina, prominent wing, our late
Minister to Mexico, who has the means of
judging correctly as TO the effect of aanexa-
ton. having resided a number of years in
Mexico, has recently addressed letter to
the National Intelligencer, explaining the
ground of his decided opposition to the au-
nexation of Texas TO the United States.

for opposing annexation is that, TIC Ger.
