TEXAs-THE WAYS AND MEANS TO SECURE
II,

That tho Administration is now straining every
nerve TO its nth ost tension to bring Texas into the u
Mon there j. no reason to doubt That means of
almost any character will be rcsorcd in order TO
obtain an object so dear to the Administration is G.
qually clear To effect this, is its darling purpose
Its head the President, is political pupil Of man
who wanted only the power TO accomplish an object
whether it would be right ,awlu,or benehcent 10 the
country, WINS with him secondary consideration
when he willcd a thing 81 viii do it"-u"d iE the
power TO do it were not wanting II was done, Mr.
Polk learned in IL school like this, and from the scho-
ar we may expect tho teachings Of the MASTER though,
doubtless in some degree lacking in the boldness and
arrogance which slrikngy character zed the conduct
of Andrew Jackson
Texas-or at least tho leading and officials
nre not quite ready to acccdo, to the terms proposed
thus far by the U. States. There is holding bncl,
a reluctance close bargain- though there are
many orthc citizens Of Texas who Otherwise
disposed ready accude nj TO tho stipulated
terms. Texas is divided on The question. Important
considerations lacking in the minds OF certain
leading men viii these DO yieded7 Most probably.
1t is to be expected that the Administration will
make such proposnls-indeed, any proposals which
the circumstances render necessary overcome the
obstacles to an agreement the pnIt of Texas TO
Annexation. 1t would be presumption 10 srppose
for n moment that pupil Of Andrew Jdchson's would
not do this; especially when his ia still open TO
| his instructions. New messengers have been dis
| patched TO Texas-one, two, three, and even four
as reports say aid Major Donaldson, the resident
! Charge d9Iai,e'to persuade the Texan authorities
to accept the terms Of the annexation resolutions
1t ia to he feared they will succeed But should they
succeed Congress will have act upon the terms Of
| Annexation. We expect the Wings will hive more
members in the next than they had in the last Con-
gross, and ii is to be hoped the people will instruct
even sone Of the other party in a manner that they
will not dare to vote for this miquitous scheme Of the
slave power with the unanmity they manifested in
the las, Congress The people may aver, the con-
summation Of this project if they will bestr them
selves They are doing it in N. Y.-at least, out Of
those cities where foreign do not control the
polls Connection, has done her part; and so he's
Rhode Island, by rcpudating every man who had
shown any favor to this project If this work goes
on thus well tie Congress will not venture to
ratfy any of President Folks proposals for taking in
to the Union tho slave territory of Texas.
''t-JsThe subscriptions TO the stock of the Boston,
Concord and Montreal Railroad progressing stead
ily but with every indication that they will reach
much larger amount in the country than has been an
| ticputed. There seems TO be no doubt in any quar-
ter to the certainty that the stock will be above
par before the road is completed.
The survey orthe Railroad is progre sing. 1t is
completed nearly to Cniun Bridge about twenty miles
from Concord. The route, so far, is found Iemarkn
bly, good quite favorable nntcipated."-

We can hardly doubt but large share the soct
of this road through N. Hampshire will be taken by
the people on the line OF the road and shoulC
the people Of Boston eventually think best TO opeT
first n communication to Montreal by way Of keen'
and Burlington there will he capital there yet to at
in the construction of the above named road even Il
the Canada line. The stock Of the Concord road, a
, FIRST was taken very reluctantly. The farmers ii
the vicinity put in their 5000, $500, and $1,000 n
3 they could spare, but they would soon par
e | with their wives with this stock. Semi-annua
o they take their per cent dividends upon il. Thi

@ dollars TO invest in the continuation of the roadan
g without large amount Of foreign aid it be bull
It If the low fare and light bills Of freight tho Con
e cord road pay per cent. who can for moment
: pose that road opened from Concord to Derb
would not pay per cent the FIRST year. Demon
d strate this and the means will be found to build tn
road without looking far beyond its immediate ycir
d ity for them.
