Some of tho Northern Journals are abusing our
gallant state for the part it took in expressing its
disapprobaton Of the conduct Of Massachusetts,
tow ards South Carolina, and which it expressed in
a series Of resolutions despatched TO the former
state, wherein was declared that any agent com.

recognition Of Texan independents" provided Texns
would reject the Annexation Resolutions, and il
,ha, should fail, Gen. Mercer understood from re.
por. which was current at Galveston, that the
British Government would offer to Texas a douceur
of $5OO.O0O to be paid in Is years. if the Texans
would maintain separate Independence and form
irg an alliance Of commerce with England. should
reject the Resolutions Of the United States

can be called such, the Texans give no heed. -
