The foregoing extract is from n
speech recently made IN the United
States Senate by Mr.. Foster, of Ten

fession, coming from such Il quarter,
and should be daily weighed by the

hostility to annexation, and the iar'll

extorled bitter complaints even from

POPULATION OF ST. LOUIS.

1t appears from a census Of the popu-
lation of ST. Louis, taken by order OF
The city authorities, that it numbers 3d.

In 1890, the population of St. Louis,
then confined within much narrower
limits than it how is, was 6,252. In
1897, including The territory now en-
brared in the city, the population was

corporutcd limits il was 1868. In
March, 1913, the population within the
present limits was 1887. In October
last, when the census was taken by au-
thorily Of the State, the total number

Tie gloom that hung owe the coun-
Try as 20 The fate of 'hc joint resolution
Of the House Of Representatives, for tie
annexation of TeNas, hpt a few weeks
since, is fast disappearing, and strong
hopes are now entertained that it will
PASS that body-and is now the law Of
Tie Land. Senator Mcrrick Of Mary
land, has given in his adhesion 10 the
measure, much 10 the establishment OF
his whig friends; and Messrs. Foster Of
Tenn, Henderson of Miss, and john
sen of La, all wings, will also support
the resolution. OF the democrats, 1t is
how thought that Tappan and Col. Ben
ION will alone oppose il; and some doubts
are entertained as TO the opposition Of
the latter, notwithstanding he express
ed himself strongly opposed to 1t, a few
weeks since, on the introduction Of his
last bill. This gives q for il, and enc
of the Maryland Senators being absent,
will be sufficient to carry the measure,
even without the votes Of Col. Beaton
or Senator Tappan.
We sincerely hope that the question
may be settled at this session. Delay
inay prove to be equivalent so defeat,
not only for the present, ba! forever.
Texas may not be willing to wait any
longer, and she will Of necessity bedriy-
Ell 10 seek other alliances, This is pot
the only objection arising from Procras-
tinalion. The question y I'll assume be-
lore the people Of this country a far
more unhappy aspect. It viii be the
hinge upon which all political questions
will turn, until il is settled, and all ether
questions viii be merged in il. Old
party lines will be broken up, and new
associations formed with reference to
this all absorbing subject. The whole
country will lie thrown ihAo a~nparalicll-
ed excitement, and We shall witness tie
throes Of a worse than Missouri contfo-
versy. Such must be the resut-the
inevitable result TO the e~oantry at large.
But 10 the Democratic party, lis effects
if possible would lie more disastrous.
Ia The North, the seeds Of disunion are
already sown. President Polk would
be thrown in 4 position in all probabiti-
", which would render his administra-
ton wholly inefficient, and he would
fail to satisfy the just expectations CT the
country. Tie democratic party must
remain united, if we expect the coun-
try to reap any fruit from the victory Of
last November; and TO ensure this, and
to avoid disunion, the Texas question
should be settled NOW AND FOR
EVER.

ment, the London Morning Herald remarks In
the absence of active exertions by other non-pay-
ing States to regain their lost credit the continu-
: ance Of steady payment by Pennsylvania becomes
subject of vital importance for the restoration Of
American credit in Europe" The whole Ameri-
can debt to Europe must be discharged before we
can obtain the consideration and assume the port
and language which our real condition, noraIs re-
sources, and prospects would justify. Most of the
Paris journals of this day advert TO the Mexican
quasi declaration Of war. La Presse thinks that
the Mexican rulers will proceed to extremities in

their authority and places are threatened: it is a
desperate but necessary alternative" /" The Anne

seize California without delay, and make it enter
into the Oregon negotiation with England quid
pro quo. The Journal DIES Debats deems it evil
dent that Mexico will resort TO force TO resist the
measures of the United States for preserving the
limits claimed by Texas" The National pro-
nounces war on the part Of Mexico as the consum-
NATION Of folly, but believes it nearly certain. La
France, the Legitimis organ has long article con-
corning the relative weakness of Mexico in every
particular; no war unless Mexico count on the aid
of England and France; and England would make
her pay dearly in the end for the money and the
privateers she might furnish. The French Govern
ment would eagerly cooperate again with England,
but may not dare to do so, in consequence OF the
unequivocal sentiments of the nation against the al
lance. La France argues further that every SOUND
consideration throws the French on the American
side, and that better tariff for French PRODUCES
might be comprised by decided friendship or ALSO
