From the New Orleans picayune, April a.


NOW, by 81. Paul the work goes bravely on.p
How infinitely dmnutiye do the English charge
and his French bottle-holder appear-admitting
them to be visible at allin the storm of public feel
ing that now wakes as prairie FIRE from the Rio
Grande to the Sabine. Ten DAYS ago Mr. Salignv
asserted that 'Texas shall not be annexed. 3
Stronger words never came off weaker stomach: but
had giant spoken them, they would have sounded
like penny Whistles squeak amid the sublime fury
of volcano in eruption. The people of Texas are
thoroughly aroused; the spirit of liberty is complete
ly awakened; and Capt. Elliott and his man Friday
mightas well try to chain the minds as subdue the
resolution of free people, acting under the inn
pulses of a noble enthusiasm excited i'm the accom-
plishment Of lofty purpose
There are indications of opposition to the national
will yet manifest in the official proceedings Of the
Texian government The day appointed for the
meeting of Congress to consider of tho resolutions
passed by our national legislature, is remote enough
to give Ashbel Smith time reach England and re-
turn with the ulttmaum of the British government
We might here also mention that Mr. Salignv has
been heard to say that President Jones would not
sanction annexation; that he would throw himself
upon his constitutional prerogative and veto any
such measure; and in case a revolution should fol-
low, call upon the governments n amty with Texas
to uphold his dynasty, just as the elder Bourbons
engaged the Legitimacy Of Europe TO defend then,
against the people of France. But what n6pitesitnal
potatoes-or, as Mr.. Saligny would more classcalIy
call them pOmmts de ierre-are the Vaccinations OF
cabinets or the intrgues Of diplomatists, when
brought in contact with an avalanche of the popular
mind II is just possible that the hattery of foreign
representatives may have inflated the Texian exec,i-
tive to the pinnacle Of imagining himself capable of
defying the surges of public emotion which, should
he attemptit, will as assuredly overwhem him and
his satellites the deluge swallowed up them that
the Lord repented that he had made

Getting Rid of the Ofiicc-Seskers.

A good story of Mr. Bancroft'S manner of
getting rid Of fotlicc-appicants is told. He did
not enter upon the duties of his Department
until day or two after the other Secreta-
ries had "sct in Consequently he was cor
rect in his conjecture that he would be over
run with the horde Of applicants whom the
Heads OF the other Departments Ind turned off
1t is said that he tod his messenger to tell each
applicant as he came into the ante.roon that
the Secretary was busy. but would soon be dis
engaged, until the ante-room should be filled.
and then to let him know the fact, which he ac-
coriingy done. Mr.. Bancroft thereupon in
stead Of sending for the applicants to come into
his room. one by onc, repaired himself to the
nnte-ronm, md informed the crowd altogether
that he could do nothing in the way of making
removals and aDOointments--,ha, it was a very
delicate bu-iness-,hat politics constituted an
exceedingly unplea>ant and improbable pur-
suit-and he would most afectionatelv beg
leave to advise ali Of his Democratic friends
there assembled to 20 TO their respective homes,
and follow their own proper pursuits, calIings
and professions, thank their stars that they had
something better to do than to Gil poor clerk
ships This is the best advise that could be
given them. A man, if he has any enterprise
or industry, had better seek to secure himself
in some permanent business than run the risk
and uncertainties attending holding public of.

The Montour Iron Company at this place,
have just completed large foundry, adjoining

Messrs. Haywood & Snyder are enlarging the

CO News FROM TExAs.--The bill ofannexa.
tion as it passed the House, and Mr.. Bentons
Serate bill, is warn ly discussed in the Texan pa.
pers. Several of the leading Journals are very
indignant at the idea OF Texas accepting the terms
offered, Neither of the bills, separately consi.
dered, were deemed satisfactory. Whether they
will be any better satisfied, when they hear of
the passage of the two bills united, time alone
will slow. They do not like the idea OF merg.
ing their national existence, giving up all their
revenues of wealth and paying their own debts
These we presume, however, are only the opin.
ions of political leaders The people, it is said
are anxious for annexation upon almost any
terms. The following is from the Galveston
Weekly News, paper favorable 10 annexation ::
