The Whig members Of the New York
Legislature have united in a patriotic
Address 10 their constituents, in which,
after reviewing the late session, they ex-
press their entire concurrence in the Bal
timore nominal ions, and thus conclude :;
OF the triumphant election of these
candidates, there remains now no un-
certainty, but whether the people of
New York shall be among those who
will contribute to that result, is the ques-
ton submitted to you, fellow citizens
We confess deep solcitude concerning
their decision. The interests of New
York demand change of Rulers. The
interest Of the American People demand
1t. If any thing perfect in policy or sta
ble IN our institutions is to be secured-il
we would avoid injustice to Other States,
The humiliation of confessions of wrongs,
or war consequent on persisting in in
Justlce-ifwe would pursue course con-
duciye to our own happiness, worthy of
the memory OF our ancestors, and auspi-
oious to the cause of humanity, we mus,
discard those who have been anlaithlul
TO both, and must confne the RESPONSE
blites Of Government to those who
amid all the vicissitudes of public life
have been found honest, faithful and
capable. We beg leave solemnly to
speak to our Wing brethren of the right
iulness and expediency Of conidlng in
the Wings Of the United States for the
accomplishment Of all important objects
affecting the public welfare. A isolated,
all Incorporate action, all secessions from
the Wing party to secure new or remote
ends, always eventually fail. The Wing
party derives its principles from the Rev
olution. i is deeply imbucd with the
spirit Of the age. 1t promotes public
wealth and happiness by protecting per-
sonal industry and by developing those
resources with which God has blessed
the American States. II seeks improve
ment, but breads innovation 1t works
out reforms, but adheres to existing in
sttutions and submits to existing laws
until they can be peacefully and con-
sllutionally changed. 1t is devoted to-
progress, but it does not destroy. 1t,
seeks to establish perfect equality Of
political rights but it levels upwards,
not downwards, by education and be-
nignant legislation, not by subyer,ing es-
tablished laws or institutions. IL is the
party Of Law, Of Order, Of Enterprise,
Of !mprovement,o of Benefcenco, of Hope,
and Humanity. Through the action of
this great and generous party, every at
tainable national good may be ultimately
secured, and through its action we can
best promote the more comprehensive
interests Of Freedom and Humanity
throughout the World.

The NATIONAL OBsERvAroRY.- A
vessel is shortly expected from Bremen,
with an immense telescope, which has
been manufactured in that country for
The National Observatory at Washington.
Some idea of its magnitude may be form
ed, when ii is known that it is contained
in fifteen boxes, three of which are six
teen feet in length. The telescope that
is now in use at the observatory was
manufactured by the same opticians,
aud though not half the size of the one
on lis way to this country, is Of great
power. The Baltimore Sun says at a
recent trial of lis powers, the hands of ii
watch could be distinguished at the dis
tance OF mile from tho observatory, and
the name on small door sign, at the
same distance, could be distinctly read.

The United States and Texas.

The National In,elligenccr of Wednesday
of last week published the deficient docu-
ments in the series Of those from which the
Injunction Of secrecy has lately been remov-
ed by the Senate, aud says the most material
points disclosed by the papers are,
First. That there is no written evidence
IN the Department Of State Of the important
fact stated In Mr.. Upshur's letter Of January
10Th, 1914. that the proposition Of this Gov
erument for the annexation Of Texas had
been for The present declined by the Govern
ment OF Texas. We thus learn that one, at
least of the most important communications
between this Government aud Texas was not
made in writing. There are other comm.
nicalions, no doubt, Of equal Importance. OF
which no record has been preserved. We
have seen among the documents, for exam
pie, no written or printed account of the
agreement or understanding between the
two Presidents as TO the employment of our
land and naval forces, the commander Of the
former of which is instructed to put hi nseIl
as promptly Us practicable, in commune alioD
with the President of Texas. There must
hare been some such agreement or understand
ing /; or how would the President or Texas
know for what purpose The commander of
the forces of the United States had pu, him
self in communication with him?
Secondly, That our Government was well
aware, when it volunteered its proposition to
Texas to be annexed to the United States,
that the Government Of Mexico "did not re-.
gard Texas as an independent Power, but as
a rebellious province" and would acl accord
ingly in its relations with Texas.
There IS yet another document on this
subject, in answer to call of the Senate,
which was on Saturday last ordered to be
printed, but which has not yet been brought
within our reach.
