There are an immense number of great and wise
politicians in this country, if you take them at their
own estimation. Just at this moment, five hundred
or more IN various quarters, claiming the honor
of having within year or two, given the first i'm
petus to the question of annexation of Texas while
at the same time our Mexican Minister Shannon az
firms to Senior Cuevas that our Government has had
the subject in serious contemplation for tceny gears
whereat the Senior is exceeding wroth. Among 9TH
ers, the Rowdy Politician. Mike Walsh of New
York, is of the most conspicuous claimants for
Texan honors. The Philadelphia Ledger says
''Mike Walsh claims the credit of having given the
first impetus to the annexation movement in New
York. At the meeting in the Park last week lie ap-
piled the lash of his Indignation those eleventh
hour men who bawl so loudly for annexation.
Mike says:
You may find men loudly declaiming about Texas
and going the old stale arguments in favor of
nexation when the discussion has been ended and the
voice of the people has settled it forever. Let
however, caution public men who have the dispersal
ton of Office how they attach too much Importance to
those oyssrbox cliques who get up the public meet
ings for US to attend, and then drop into the best off,
they obtain. As for the miserable cyster-box
politicians, who shouting loudly about 1t,
they only striving to turn to their own profit and
the enjoyment of their own heartless rapacity, a
movement which they had neither the intelligence,
the honesty nor the courage Ocreate Loud cheers.
Such pretensions these from person who owes
what little notOriety he has principally to his riPrO-
rious habits, are ludcrous enough. They are worth
about much as the trifing blast of foul wind L
would take TO blow them away and no more. Dean
Swift would have estimated their value in palmer
terms. This, however, is the age of refinement, as
well as humbug

When the Journal few weeks ago took occasion
to assa Mr.. Ovens in relation to the Inter-
nal Improvement system Of Indiana, We thought 1t
was hardly worth while 10 expose Its injustice. The
ability of the Journal to nict either evil good Is
very circumscribed; and since exposition of the
Legislative history Of the system, made two years
since, the Wings papers generally, as well as the
Journal have been profoundly silent up to this time
But we perceive that writer in the Madison Banner,

TI,e next Campaign.


Some persou. dating from Evansville, Is writing a
series of articles addressed to the people OF Indiana,
through the Louisville Journal. 1t strikes us as a
little laugbable in the first place, that the writer
should suppose as be evidently does, that there Is no
Wing paper in Indiana of sufficient notoriety or
character to be worthy of the original publication OF
bis elaborate essays Perhaps he has not yet learned,
being in such out-of-the-way place as Evansville,
that Senator Defrees is now the Editor Of the Indiana
Journal. Be this as it may, we should not suppose
that any Of our Wing contemporaries ought to feel
very bad at this depreciation of their responsibility
for they consequently escape the decided bore /" oil

The Galveston Civilian, an opponent Of Annexa-
ton speaking of the arrival Of the British ship Elect
IA at Galveston says:
''Should this vessel not have brought definite and
complete propositions for the settlement of affairs
with Mexico, we shall regard annexation settled.
For ourselves ask nothing better than the present
condition of things in Texas and the advantages which
she, of herself is capable of deriving from them.
This, however, is net the general feeling, and, unless
clear and unconditional acknowledgement Of in
dependence is extended to the country, we believe
that it will be useless to contend with the popular de-
sire for annexation. We have thus far opposed this
measure because we believed that the country and
more particularly Galveston would be much better off,
in the end, without it,
The Planter published at Columbia, Texas, boldly
asserts and denounces the intrigues of the British
and says

pared to become willing contributors British power

We perceive that the indomitable Democracy of
Indiana in active preparation for their election in
August Having done so well before, we trust that
she will be able at the next trial to give US an entire
delegation of the true faith We should rejoice to
the next Representatives from that State without
even single Wing amongst their number. And
though several of the former able and faithful members
will not be candidates at the next election, yet we
hope that she will find others of the right stamp to be
associated with her OWEN, DAVIS, KENNEDY, PETIT,
HENLT, and SMITH, in building up her proud name,
and carrying out the great principles of the Demo-
cratic party. The delegations from Illinois and
Indiana in the last Congress were comparatively
young men, and empbacally belonged to the working
Democracy; and more able, faithful, and energetic
men were not on the floor of Congress, than those
who came from these already powerful and rapidly
growing States Washington Constitution.

0TThe Philadelphia Ledger is one of the best pa
pers- receive. We like it especially because it
does not fear to tell the truth frequently, though the
truth may be supposed to be unpopular. Here is an
example:
DIRECT PAYMENT.-An honest man has no obiec-
tions to pay for value received He requires round
about way to make the payment, but prefers the d.
rect mode. He has no objection to pay his butcher
directly, and therefore does not require the landlord
to put twelve per cent rent in order that the
landlord may pay the butcher for the tenant and so
on. Government is valuable if free. Our own IS
Free or passes for it. Its administration is valuable
to us. We enjoy it, and we should pay for it. How
The sooner learn to pay for it directly, tie more
economical will it be- This however, is prospective
argument, and may in the Of another genera
ton or two be recognized as true.
