We have more than once insisted upon the fact,
that, however much we may differ among ourselves
in regard to the expediency of measures proposed
by the government, the people, almost with one ac.
cord, acquiesce in such measures when consumme-
ted, and are prepared to defend the rights of their
country, if necessary, even by an appeal to arms,
This is leading characteristic Of the American
citizen. We engage in the hottest political strife;
we entertain opinions Numerically opposite, and
enforce them with the utmost vehemence of Ian
guage and earnesness Of manner we quarrel with
the executive, il he happen to be political oppo-
nent for carrying out the doctrine of his party but
vet we willingly consent to share the responsibility
of his acts, whenever the country is menaced with
collision with foreign powers. In our domestic
broils, we are heated politicans in our policy to-
wards other nations, we are American citizens. In
the one case, we indulge in the utmost latitude OF
controversy; in the other, we band together with
an invncible determination to sustain the honor and
dignity of the counry,at every sacrifice of person.
al opinion.
Rarely have we met with more striking reaza-
ton of this undoubted truth, than is now to be
in the general tone of the public press in regard
to the annexation of Texas. No candid observer
will deny that, twelve months since, the country
was very nearly equally divided on this subject.
Even taking the presidential election test, the
combined vote Of the wings and abotionsts would
show slight preponderance in opposition to an
nexation. The project was adopted about five
months ago, by the majority of single vote in the
United States Senate. IL then passed the House by
decisive vote. Having thus received the sanction
of the constituted authorities, at least half Of
the journals which had previously opposed annexa-
ton, at once abandoned further hostility and pre-
pared to recognise the will Of the peoples represen
tatives. Now that Texas in her turn has accepted
the propositions Of the United States, nearly every
vestige of opposition has disappeared.
It's worthy of remark, as bearing upon the sub
iect, that the real supposed Intervention OF for
cgn powers--Great Britain particularly-for the
purpose of defeating annexation, has greatly con-
tributed TO render public sentiment unanimous. We
tolerate no onfcious interference in our domestic
concerns. Our right to bcker among ourselves in
an ndefeasble one; but when other nations seek TO
profit by our family quarrels, and nlermeddle i'm
pertlnently In matters solely relating to our own
country, the people Of the United States bury in
oblivion all memory Of their political dissensions
and recoec alone that they bound to foster and
maintain the rights of the republic.

FREScH rLEEr--A report reached town yes
terday, from the Baze, that a French fleet Of four
teen sail had been spoken in the gulf standing down
towards the Mexican coast. The recent difficulty
between the Mexican government and the French
minister furnishes some sort OF reason for move
ment Of thio kind. In the absence Of any informa-
ton Of direct and positive nature regarding this
rumor, however, we inclined to believe that
there is some mistake about it.

faithful, competent and exemplary IN the discharge
of his duties the mayor would soon think of go
ing, and thinks he would have just much right to
90, into his house and take the bread from his
hearth, as to take away his ofice;' and then submit
to us the indirect interrogatory, "pheher this be demo-
cratic doctrine, you can best e?' This seems to US
rather taunt and sneer, which demands some little
RETURN at least by way Of compliment II appears TO
us in the form of an "0ver," which demanded
"Roland;" and hence il is that we thought II right
to administer little retaliation. Hence it was that
minated that, if this be the true democratic doc
irine, it certainly not the true ichg doctrine in
l94l. Il wasn not the rule of Messrs Clay Ewing, and
Granger We doubted the ant-proscriptive charac-
ter which Mr. Seaton had taken to himself. We
denied that his doctrine was tohig-whether 1t was
democratic or not; and we took the liberty of quo
ting his own declaraonsin April 1e4l whilst his own
party was in the hey-day of its power, and to show
that this was not his wing doctrine in by-gone
days. These remarks we thought ourselves called
upon to oinerpose mot to "cover the retreat" Of

to s'change the ISSUE but TO meet the nsinuatlon
which the mayor had thought proper to aim at our

dent in the strength Of notorious facts, even against
such odds, should not complain, it, in taking sides
against me, you had not changed the issue. This

your correspondent you must stick to the true ques-
ton.

officially prescribed and excluded from office one
class of citizens, and selecting corporation officers

NAL, by telling the public what Mr.. Clay and Mr..
Ewing said and did some years ago, and by gar
bled quotation from the National lntelligencer of
