Jn nc Proud Ways Of Virginia,


The following are among The Resolutions re-
ported TO The House of Representatives of Mas
sachusells on Friday last by the Special Commit
lee on the subject of Texas
"Rc@lrcd, That the power never having been
granted by The people Of Massachusetts, 10 ad-
nit into the Union States and Territories not
within the same when the Constitution was
adopted, remains with the peope-and can only
be exercised in such way and manner as the peo-
pie shall hereafter designate and appoint.
'Remlred, That the people of Massachusetts
will never consent TO use The powers reserved TO
themselves 10 admit Texas, or any other State or
Territory now without the Union, on any other
basis than the perfect equality OF ireemen-ani
that while slavery or Stale representation form
any part of the claims or conditions OF admission
Texas, with their consent, can never be admit
led"
The first resolution would strike from our
blessed Union the territory Of Louisiana, en-
bracing already three States, missouri, Arkan-
sas and Lousiana,) and threatens 10 slam The
door in the face of Florida.
And what say We, also, Soulhrons, and especial
" the Wings of Virginia, TO this exclusive doc
irine, that We must be cut off, though parties in the
Contederacy, from any participation in any ac-
ouired Territory, whilst the whole benefit must
enure 10 the Northern non-slayeholder?

ATR Ann IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO

We are indebted TO Captain Kingsbury, OF the
ttig Ramon dc Zaldo, arrived yesterday from
Vera Cruz, which port he left on the 18th OF
January, for intelligence to that date. General
Santa Anna, after having made five different al
tacks on the city Of Puebla, had been repulsed on
each attack with some considerable loss, had been
obliged TO decamp with all his troops, amounting
to abou, lour thousand men, and, according to the
latest news from Jalapa, he is on his way 10 Vera
Cruz, but must first pass defle, fifteen miles from
Jalapa, which is we'll fortified, and commanded
by General Jose Rimeon in person.
If Santa Anna should be successful here, he
will meet with Obstacles from troops stationed at
Puebla, after passing which place, there will be
nothing 10 prevent his coming 10 within three
miles OF Vera Cruz Here the Notifications, al
though not complete, are sufficient 10 prevent his
taking The city, but probably he may be able to
effect his escape on board Of an English friga.e
stationed at Sacriiicios with orders, as report
says TO receive him and project his person.
Should he, however, determine TO besiege the
place, Generals Bravo and Paroles, who left
Puebla on the 10Th instant, with 10000 cavalry
and infantry, will soon be on his rear, and deter
mine his fate. If taken prisoner, as he is enor-
mously rich, having more than twelve millions Of
dollars in England it is more than probable that,
by using this money, he may be able TO purchase
his own more than brutal conduct in Puebla, he
has forfeited all claim to the indulgence Of either
Mexicans or foreigners.
The officers commanding the city are Gems
Morea and Hernandez. The Castle Is under the
command OF Gen. Juan Lotto brave and able
officer, and an inveterale enemy of Santa Anna
In the course ofthe night previous TO sailing the
Captain says news was received by an express
from Jalapa, that Santa Anna had commenced
besieging Perote, and that neither Bravo nor
Parades, had lefl Pueba on the 18th; and that
even among the most sanguine of the friends OF
the movement against Santa Anna belief had
arisen that there was an intrigue going on TO save
him and his officers; ftrue ii is thought this will
be the iorerunner, Of fresh outbreak, that will
cost an immense deal of bloodshed
We are indebted TO Mr.. Zaldo, the owner OF
the brig, for some additional information Of high
importance to wit: that Santa Anna had sent in
his submission TO the new government, and had
placed himseltand his'troops at their disposal
This was The report at Vera Cruz, and if it shall
prove true, the war may be considered at an end
The Diario announces it as fact.

WOMAN'S LOVE.


When gloomy Winters icy breath
Has sear'd each gaudy leaf and flower.
When vanquish'd Nature bows beneath
sdark, cold, paralyzing power,
The evergreen more brightly blooms
Than when The Summers soft wind siyhs
Through groves, which sunset gold illumc,
Nor fades till with its trunk il dies.
IT'S thus with Woman's loy
When Day is rob'd in gorgeous light,
And all beneath her arch OF blue
Seem animated with delight,
The modest moon reiires from view:
But when dark, silent Night has spread
Der earth and sea her gloomy sway.
When light and splenior-all have ned,
She lights the poor lone travellers way.
'Tis thus with Womah's low
When wintry sorrows dreary nigh,
Der all our joys assumes IFS sway,
When friendship, tortune-all take flight,
What is ii then survives decay
Forever OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
And selt-devoted- pure-divine-
The cheering star which lights it through
When all our earthly hopes decline
IT'S Woman's ever constant loy
