have cunningly devised, why don't these professed

OPINION OF THE LEADING VAN buren,
JOURNAL IN MASSACHUSETTS, UPON
THE TREATY

The Bay State Democrat, published in Boston, in
d.coursing upon the Treaty for Annexat on, takes
bold ground for its confirmation 1t says, very
justly:
No who bears in mind the cautious and
steathy policy OF the British Government in ex
tending its power and influence, WILL however, be
deceived b. the hypocritical professions of hostility
TO slavery which il rarades with much osentation
bu, will look deeper for the motives which actuste
British interference with the all rs Of Texas. Ii is
not slavery at which Great Britain would strike a
blow in Texas, but at the United States. To the
peace and welfare OF this Country, its growth, pros
perty aud power, she is inmical and to undermine
these is the whole scope Of her policy. IT is vain for
her to pirate Of her friendship for human rights aud
her adherence of slavery. No rational person is
deceived thereby, and commend the sagaoity and
prom ,tness Of action Of upshur aud Calhoun, who
have looked through these idle professions and per-
ceying the true purpose of the English policy to-
w~rd5 Texas have promptly interposed the power
Of th, government to thwsrt her designs. Had
these gentlemen been deceived by the pypo-
critical expressions of sympathy for the blacks
put forth by the British Government, or deferred
from the purpose of checking British aggression up
on the rights aud interests Of this country through
Texas, by those professions, they would have been
undeserving the name of American statesmen, and
have proved themselves the weak dupes OF English
artifice.
We do not think the Administration is liable 10
censnre because II has Tot awaited The development
of public opinion upon the question: hut has take
, the responsibility OF acting promptly asA decisivey
upon knowledge Of the existing circumstances, and
when, as It believed, the emergency mperatiyeIy re.
quired such course of proceeding.
The opinion 70 rheh hare arired is, that rpou
he best 10 confirm the Treaty, and thus effect The ", amer
alton Of Ieros 10 the United States.
| In the same number, the Democrat thus speaks OF
Mr.. Van Burens late Briiish.Nerican letter 10 the
following freezing strain:
Upon the question Of eXpediency Of such q
movement at the present time, he declares that the
opinions prsc,i,sd upou by him when President are
,tll en- ertained by him. Without knowing any cir
oumssnce- that have recently transpired to alter kis
views, he states that change has since taken place
IN the relations between Texas and Mexico that
would make the objections heretofore advanced by
him inapplicable HIS chief ground Of objection IL
that The proposed annexation light involve US in a
var with Mexico, and would nt rfere with our trea.

with hacks and vehicles of every discrip-

returning from the Funeral. When we
saw the carriage, as with the utmost 'ra-

carriages seemed imminent; but the
horses, although galloping at the top Of

their speed, fortunately were kept in a
pretty straight forward course along our
broad ayanue, where there was room e.
nough for other horses and carrisges tc
get out Of the way. The horses in the
Presidents carriage continued theiI
course at full speed, notwithstanding ev'

JOHN TYLER, jr., to stop them, When
the carriage reached a point opposite
Gallabrun's European Hotel, a coloret

most seasonably and happily rescued from

reliance on our own resources, and t
strengthen our independence.
