MIR. poLKS SUCCESSOR.


The subjoned paragraph from the Washington
Globe has its own significance:
1--WE know that the people of Texas understand
their interests well, and will take the surest meas
ures fox the permanent establishment of their free
don Independence, happiness, greatness, and glory
The State will manifest her sovereignty, lndepen-
dcnce, and equality with the States Of the Union
and the nations of the earth, by her Senators and
Representatives in Congress, and by her particpa-
ton in Erecutire trusts, IN DUE TIME CROWNED BY
HOLDING THE MOST EXALTED OF ALL-THE CHEF
MAGrsTRACY OF THE UNION"
Among the results having their origin in the
councils of Generals Jackson and Houston was it
agreed upon that one should be the elevation Of
Houston to the Presidency Of the United States !?
Ge@eral Juckson's power TO make Presidents has
been demonstrated and very signay. lie has
made some out Of less available materials than the
hero of San Jacinio
# wo; Ia cause no surprise if the fact were o.
penly acknowledged that the promise of the Pres
dency of the Union had been held ont to Houston,
to induce him to favor the project Of annexation
Perhaps he now finds that glorious career
opens before him, the leader Of the young and
growing Republic of Texas, than he could anci-
pate in the contingent remalndership Of prospec-
tive Presidency of the United State' To realize
the latter he would have to encounter the jealous
les Of rival competitors more formidable Oppo-
ncnts to success than the MeXicans would be likely
to prove in his march to power in the Southwest
lnasmuch, however, as one lays himself liable to
inputatous of being under British influence, il not
actually bought with British gold, by expressing
any doubts of the speedy completion of the annex
alton enterprise we shall not venture to gainsay
the assurances held out in the above quoted para
graph. We are quite willing to take it for granted
that Texas is determined to establish her indepcnd-
ence by losing 1t Immediately; that she is aware
her sovereignty can be secured only by parting
with II and that Sam Houston would be unwise to

Cause of Death. DR.. p, d. Badger of Peterbo-
rough, N. IL. has published some statements of
facts which in his judgment go to show that to
lodge in a newly painted house is hazardous to
life. lie mentions the death of his wife and the
certainly approaching death of his child; also, The
death of one of his children two years old; and al
so several other cases of death-which he says
might be greatly multplied-all occurring appa-
rently, in consequence OF living in houses immed-
ately after being painted. The disease engender-

Almontes protest against annexation was strong
yet digniied and respectful, as the annexed shows
"Thc undersigned has the honor to address him
self to the Hon. Secretary of State, in order to
manifest the deep concern with which he has seen
that the President of the United States has given
his signature to a law, admitting into this conicd-
eracy the Mexican province Of Texas.

of the most distinguished citizens &C.. would have

a considerable part of It's territory
For these reasons, in obedience to his instruc-
tons he must pretest, and does protest, in the most
solemn manner in the name OF his Government,
against the law, &c. He protests also, that the act
in no measure nvalitates the rights of Mexico TO
recover her province, Of which she is so unustly
disposscssed, and that she will maintain AMI gi,c

power
He also begs that the Secretary will let the
President know that, in view of all these facts, his
mission near this Government terminates from to

ry will forward to him his passports, because it is
his purpose TO leave this city as soon possible
for New York.

A Tract for the Day: How TO conquer Texas be-
fore Texas conquers us. Boston, Redding &
Co. State Street. Price three cents
We hope Texas is never to be admitted TO the
Union: there are some signs that Texas herself
will not consent TO annexation; but if she prefers n
different course, and resistance in this country is
not successful the object OF the Tract before us is
to show how the North may prevent most of the
evils Of annexation, and restore the balance of
power to the free States 1t is briefly, by coloni-
zing Texas with Northern emigrants, devoted to
Freedom, TO settle upon her territory, and control
her political destiny. Can it be done: The author
estimates the emigration from the free states from
1910 to 1850 to be 100000 persons: one tenth of
tbs number, if diverted to Northern Texas, would
give 10000 in ten drs-cnough for Que State at
least, and equal to half Of the present popGia-
ton of Texas. At any rate, this number Of anti
slavery men would be enough to try contest, side
by side, of free aud slave labor-a contest in which
the victory will be sure to freedom The political
and moral inducements, however, are not the only
ones to such emigration; the climate is described
as milder the soil richer, and the timber better and
more generally dispersed IMAM IN either MlChlgan
Wisconsin, Iowa, or Illinois. We think there is
another class of men who would be benefited by
this enigraton--the land holders of Texas, g
somewhat numerous body, scattered all over the
world, of which the author of this pamphlet may
be one. However, if the plan itself is feasible
the fact that the prime movers in the Texan REBEL
ion and Texan annexation would fill their pockets
by it, is not all insurmountabc objection On the
wholc,we advise Nermontcra to stay at home awhile
longer: ia bird in the hand is worth two in the
| bush"

THE HEROINE OF ANDES.


Anti-rentsm which figures so disgraceuly I'M
der the very nose of Executive power upon the
populous plains of Rensselaer,, assumes more
interesting character among the wild hills of Della
ware. Hhe latest news from this quarter will be
found in another column. for the subject of this
paragraph noby deserves an exclusive notice
/ Owen Steele and Charles Parker two young men
who are Sherf's Officers, were suddenly set upon
by the Indians" near Fish Lake, IA remarkable
sheet of water by the way, nearly on the summit
Of one of the Katybrag mountains) The road
crossing the outlet of the Lake, plunges at once,
after passing the clearings, into deep and wood
ed defile, the very ground where real Indians
would have lurked, and which was left unguarded
by the few mock heroes of the blanket Steele and
Parker actually succeeded in keeping their assa-
ants at bay, with couple of Colts pistols, until
they had gained their forest covert when, putting
spurs to their horses, they were soon out of the
reach of rifle, and gained the Inn in the little vii
loge of Andes. The country around swarmed with
anti. renters, and they dared not advance further
towards Delhi, still fifteen miles off. Scarcely had
a messenger been dispatched thither for succor,
when the House was surrounded with the nfuriat-
ed Indians These last, however, pausing be.
/ fore they made their attack, organized themselves
into a regular public meeting, and passed formal
resolution to sieze the two belcaguered men and
erecuis them on the spot
They proceeded to enforce their determination,
and there no man to interfere.
| In this eXigency MIS- Hunting, the spirited and
handsome wife of the lnnkeeper, seized a large
carving knife from the Harder, rushed up to the
attic, whittier the intended victims had retired
planted herself on the narrow stairway, and swore
that no Indian" should pass up, except over her
corpse and then, as We are informed by adVlces
direct from this scene, there, thus armed, and thus
determined, stood this heroic woman to Sir hours,
Drawing the whole force of Indian miscreauts The
expected succor at last came from Delhi The an
l-rentors retired, and Mrs. Hunting was relieved
from the post she had so nobly maintained.

away the Beauty from the youth, implauts the
seed of distress and desolation, and finally lays
her low in the dust. The learned Faculty have
spent years of study in attempting to discover a

0%7- We were disappointed in receiving the
Presidents and Governors Messages, by last
Wednesday evenings mail. They did not reach
until Friday. Owing to this fact, and our princi-
pal hand being absent for the last two weeks,
we were compelled to put the outside to press,
filled with advertisements, so as TO set apart the
entire inside for the Messages. But alter all,
twelve columns of our paper are too small
space to contain the Presidents message entire!
The conclusion, about four columns, with the
water cruel Message ofGovernor BARLEY, will
be published in our next. We regret exceeding
ly that we have been under the necessity of d-
vlding SO important state paper, but situated
as we are it could not be helped.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

OF We never read document that pleased
US more than the first annual message of Pres
ldent Polk, the greater part of which will be
found in the preceding columns. In tone it is
emphatically American and Democratic-in
style it is exceedingly beautiful and forcble.--
Our good whig friends, we presume, will no
longer exhibit their lamentable ignorance, by
inquiring, " Who is James r. PoM2" No
American President, since the organization of
our government, has ever put forth message,
which was more popular with the great mass of
the people, than will be the present message of
our worthy Chief Magistrate. 1t is high-toned,
patriotic, decided, and statesman like throughout.
1t is rather longer than our Presidents MESA.
ges have usually been; but when the variety
and Importance of the subjects are taken into
consideration, the verbosty Of the message will
readily be excused by the reader. We feel as
sured that every paragraph of President Polk's
message will be read with unbounded interest
by the American people; and the citizens of 9TH
er countries, who who take an interest in the
perpetuIty of our Republican Institutions, will
also pcruse the message with peculiar pleasure.
The warm-hearted and honest yeomary of the
mighty west will respond to the Presidents sen.
timents on Texas, the Tariff, the Constitutional
Treasury, the Oregon, &C., &C., most enthusi-
astically. Now let Congress go to work in the
right spirit-the spirit of bold and independent
representatives Of a free people, and carry into
operation the wise suggestions of the President,
and our beloved country will once more be placed
in a position, ofwhich every true patriot may
boast and feel proud.
