FROM TEXAS.

From the New orleans cayune OF the 29h.
By the arrival Of the steam packet New
York, we have Texas news up to the 25th
inst, the day on which she lett Galveston.
The news is important mainly on account
of its being the first received from Texas
since the intelligence Of the passage of the
annexation resolutions reached our friends
across the Sabine. AS yet we have heard
only Of the manner in which the Information
was received by the people of Galveston and
Houston. The glad tidings of the certain
contamination Of the act by the American
government reached the former city on the
18th inst. by the New York. Immediately
upon the fact being known, the vessels in
the harbor displayed the Star,Spengled Ban
ner and Loan Star in unison from their
mass; one hundred guns were fired in
honor of the event, and an illumination Of
the city was agreed upon with the greatest
unanimty. A public meeting was conven-
ed, at which gen. Memucan Hunt presided.
preamble and resolutions, expressive OF
the JOY OF the people at the prospect OF
becoming once more citizens of The United
States, were drawn up and passed without
dissent from any persoa present. The
meeting was Of the largest and most enthu-
sastIc description.
A committee was appointed TO address
the inhabitants Of Texas upon the great E.
vent, snd every thing indicated unanimty
and iervor OF popular sentiment in favor OF
annexation, which we had scarcely antici
pated from the rumors that have reached
US from that country.
We learn from the Houston Star that,
when the news OF the passage of the annex
alton resolutions reached that city, it was
hailed with burst of enthusiasm by the
citizens that has never been exceeded. The
news of the victorious battle Of San Jacinto
scarcely excited such general and enthusi.
astic rejoicing. The sound of the drum and
other musical instruments, the roar OF can
non, the lound shouts OF the multitude, re,
sounding long after midnight, indicated the
ardent longing of the people to return once
more under the glorious Egis OF the Amer
lean union.
Amid the sound of JOY, there are heard
the mutterlngs OF discontent-not so loud,
but sufficiently distinct to lead US to infer
that there will he considerable opposition
to the measure. We do not, however, ap.
prehend the defeat of annexation from the
other side of the Sabine.
In respect to the disposition OF President
Jones upon the question, 1t is thought Ia
vorabe indication that he should have aP
pointed the hon. David S. kaufman Charge
d'Affairs to the United States.

estimates Of the annual products, BY Professor Tuck,
of Virginia, on the basis Of the census of 1910.

The argument deduced from this table is, that the
tariff is wise, and should be continued, because the
relative prosperity of New England is greater than
that of Virginia. that the natural resources of Vr-
ginia are greater that her territory is equal to New
England, and that, nevertheless, Virginia is poor,
while New England is rlch because New England
has employed her labor and capital in manufactures.
This is the argument Of the landlords Of England.
The planter here, and the manufacturer in England,
are for free trade, because they both produce
more than can be consumed in the home market
But the landlord in England and the manufacturer
here are for high duties because they cannot sup
ply the domestic demand. The principle is the
same, although the parties are different.
would invite the attention of your readers to
the facts presented by this table. The number of
persons EMPLOYED in manufactures, in New Eng
land ia said TO he 1877 1885, the product of their la
Dor is said to be $50, 784, 1885, If we average the
duty at 335 per cent. follows that the bonus Civ
en- by the tariff to New England labor is S27, $685.
1913 per annum and that it operates gift, to each
person employed in manufactures, of Sl47 per an
mum. Now ask what would have been the rela-
tive condition of New England and Virginia, if
like bonus had been paid to the labor Of Virginia;
and it, instead Of receiving that bonus, the labor Of
New England had been taxed for the benefit of Vir-
gnia' The whole population Of the United States
was in 1910, say seventeen millions, Of which the
population Of New England was 2, 2l5, l65, one
eighth part. Now, what would have been the rela-
tive condition of New England, if, instead of re-
ceving bonus of S27 593, 726, her labor had been
taxed at the rate of g. 449 2l6 per annumi II this
sum be added to the actual bonus, il would give the
sum of S3l ,042, 944 per annum, the relative ope
ration Of the system in its bearing on New England

With the exception of the imputation Of improp.

whole article from the Nashville Wing. 1t signally
rebukes the factious course Of such partsans as
81. who not only grossly assault their own gov
eminent, but justify the "arrogant, insulting, and
insolent tone" of Great Britain and, substantially,
| invite her to prosecution OF hostile measures
| against government whose schemes were conceiy-
ed in 'fraud" and carried out with s'imbecility."
But we have spun out this article to an uncom-
mon length. We could not otherwise have pre-
scented the views of some of the leading wing papers
on the critical condition Of affairs. Our readers will
be struck by their antagonistic sentiments. While,
however, we warmly denounce those actious spirits,
who can nothing but party ends to be gained by
the agitation of question Of national moment, we
take pleasure in doing justice to the patriotic senti.
ments of ALL who, forgetting party, rally to the sup
port of the constitutional authorities in their desire
TO aiiay the present storm, having due regard to
the national rights and honor. Let the ''truth be
ftly and firmly spoken" let every man defy the
menaccs of England, and declare his determination
to sustain the government, if peace should unhapply
be broken, and, our word for it, war will never en-.
| sue. The contrary course will but encourage tina,
ambitious power in her design to plant her heavy
foot upon the American continent and subjugate us

OREGON MEETING.

On Tuesday night there was large meeting Of
gentlemen present at the seat of government from
various parts of the State and great number Of our
own citizens, at the Statehouse, called TO consider
the Oregon question as now pending before the
country The meeting was organized ny the cleo
ton Of Gov. Ford as president; Gov Reynolds,
Gen. Wilcox, Gen. Hardin, and ID. J. Baker, esq,
vice-presdents and Gen. Ewing, w. Walters,
and s. Francis, as secretaries. Mr. J. Calhoun then
presented series of resolutions for the considers
ton Of the meeting, in which our right to the Ore
gon territory was asserted, against submitting the
matter to the arbitration of foreign power--all Of
whom interested in preventing the dissemination
of republican principles, and the success and per-
petuity of republican governments-and pledging
the meeting to the support Of our government in de-
Tending our just rights in the premises.
Gov. Reynolds and Judge Douglass responded to
the calls Of the meeting, and addressed the meeting
in very satisfactory manner in support of the prn-
ciples laid down in the resolutions. After which,
the meeting adjourned until Wednesday night.
The meeting was without distinction Of party

introducing here European interference and infu-

these vessels 10 enable the work Of opposition and

ly and surely contaminated. Such use and such

visions among us, and how incapable probably the
American government is of reconciling those divs-

of the British government-its interference IN the
affairs ofTexas, and its efforts, now open and above
board, to thwart American policy and interests,
conducted, too, partly soil and In our oicn
understanding and insulting to the last degree, and
calculated to excite the indignation of every true
American, who estimates rightly the national secu-

which has already extended to three articles is very
suggestive, but we shall endeavor to bring it to q

and Virginia. If we multiply this sum by twenty
gives $500 $50 the result Of this system for
twenty years, The system of high duties may be
said 10 have commenced in 1916, the consequence
of the war, and to have been adopted a measure
Of protection and of political agitation in 1924. This
exhibit, therefore, proves that New England has
been enriched by bounties, and Virginia impover-
ished by taxation.
Again: the product of the fisheries in New Eng
land is estimated at S9,424,55 while that Of Vir
GINA is but S95,l7 | find, by reference to the
returns, that the allowances to vessels employed in
the fisheries, for ten years. was $37T3,04S %, and
that the drawback on picked fish was S73, 1877 o.
the greater part of which has gone to enrich New
England labor. Is it surprising that New England
prospers under such circumstancesi Is it strange
that the South should exert themselves to repeal
such SYSTEM Or is it strange that the New Eng
land recipients Of these bounties should them
selves, and seize upon every expedien to defeat the
South in their efforts to repeal i'll
One means Of doing this is to create sectional
prejudice against the South--to denounce southern
men and southern institutions, and especially the
institution of slavery. The object of the work be-
fore is create belief that the relative condition
of New England and Virginia is the consequence Of
slave labor. 1t is important to put this matter right
How we to judgei Isi by comparing the protect
ed labor ofth New England manufactures with the
taxed labor of the southern platter is it by
pairing the slave labor of the South with the free labor
of the British colonies' II was the fashion of the
abotionists of England to argue that the master
would derive more profit from the labor of the black
as a free man, than as slaves but experience has
tested that experiment. The ruin of the West India
planter has proved this to be a faacy; and hence,
