about getting up the meeting In favor OF the annex
alton OF Texas in this city. A committee OF Tyle
men, forming the appendix to the Tyler Conven
tion, have been very busy in the matter, but seen
10 labor under much doubt as to the best mode o.
procedure. AT first the meeting was called forThurs
day of this week. bu, in order to give it broader
and deeper foundation, II was postponed till Mon
day next ltnow appears, however, that the wings
have been called together, in the name oil the Clay
cluts S, for great assemblage in the Park on Mon
day afternoon, and, of course, the Tyler and Texas
men must seek some other day TO make their grand
display. Accordingly we find, that after backing
and filling several times, the meeting has been un
alterably fixed for Saturday Tomorrow at O'Clock
in the afternoon. in the Park, when the prodislous
demonstration is to be made In favor OF anhexihe
Texas Immediately to this country.
We need not repeat what our opinion IS on tins
matter We are in favor of the annexation OF Texas
at all risks and at any hazard. We are in favor OF
its annexation to-day, tomorrow, or next day, Of
as soen as possible We are in favor not only OF
the annexation of Texas, but of the whole of this
continent, including the Canadas and Mexico
Oregon, and all down to the North Pole, and up to
The Isthmus of Darien When We look upon the
principle of annexaton-there is no use IN mincins
matters about tive at once see that we may al
well annex the whole continental once in imagina
ton or in prospective as be quarreling about mere
boundaries which exist only in charts. We wan
Mexico and the whole of this continent, because
the Anglo-Saxon race of this country, want TO
show the world the model of republic, the
like of which has never before entered into
the Imagination of man to conceive Within
the boundaries of such republic, from the
Isthmus of Darien down to the North Pole,
all climates, and all productions would be en-
braced-they would embrace all sources and de-
scriptions of agricultural, commercial and mineral
wealth. We want to possess the gold and silver
mines of Mexico, in order to have basis for oui
currency and we want the whole country, from
the two great oceans-the Atlantic and the Pa
cific-in order to provide for the millions and mil
lions of that population which is destined to grow
up within our borders.
We perceive that this grand, magnificent, and
very natural idea has excited the attention even
of the philosophers OF the National lnteligencer at
Washington but they have taken notice OF 1t
only to cast rdcule upon it, and to reason men
ont of yielding to its influence. Now, let US tell
these philosophic statesmen at Washington, and
all the people also in that little capital, that they
want the capacious mind, and the opportunities OF
accurate observation possessed by the editors who
are stationed in the great intellectual observa.
tories of this mighty metropolis, from which they
can survey the whole land and see, in the future,
the political capital of this new republic, some
where in the Mississippi valley.
This much for the general question. On the I'M
mediate question, which brings forth the public
meeting tomorrow, our sentiments are likewise
well known. But we doubt much whether great
popular demonstration can be drawn forth in con.
sequence of its being connected with Captain John
Tyler, and John Jones, who happen to be not ex
actly the most popular of personages in this city
We have done all we could to make Captain Tyler
great man here. We have made efforts on effort
to convince the people that he is an intellectual
Colossus. But all the return we have got for our
disinterested efforts has been broad cha ha
hal" We succeeded, as it will be seen, IN con
vncing the country that Fanny Elssler was TIT
greatest danseuss that ever appeared here. But OF
the subject of Captain Tyler, we admit that ou
efforts have resulted in total failure.
In consequence, therefore, of the connection Of
Tyler with Texas, it is very probable that the meet
ing OH Saturday will assume a two-fold, curiou.
and original character. There will be the rea
friends of Texas, and we have no doubt that TIL
bulk of this community, disconnected with stock
lobbing operations, and possessing the bold spiri
of the young democracy Of this great continent
| are all in favor of the annexation of Texas, an
not only of that but the whole of the contnen
not yet embraced within the arms of the Union
We are prepared, therefore, to see some interest
| ing work on Saturday afternoon, and so shall tax
care TO give full account of il in our paper mex
morning.
