ed and obtained leave to withdraw his bill for
the annexation Of Texas, reported back yester-
day, with the other propositions for that object,

Relations, and now on the table, awaiting the ac-
tion of the Senate. The bill having been with
drawn, Mr.. Benton, on leave granted, presented
a substitute, which was read twice. MIR. Ben

attracted great attention; and a motion by Mr.
Berrien to refer the bill TO the Committee on Fo
reign Relations elected a debate, (the synopsis
of which will be found in our congressional re-
port, more favorable than that Of any other dis
cussion on the subject, in the Senate, during The
present session of Congress. The bill provides
that a State, to be formed out Of the present re

relations with Mexico. The Union Of The.

by Gen. Gaines upon the Governor, of Lou

"Phis call has been made By General
Gaines upon his own views (from the infor-
nation in his possession) of what he deemed
to be his duty. 1t would seem that Gen.

The editor of the Union has no intelligence
from Mexico later than that of the Water

In regard TO the propriety of calling an
extra session of Congress the Union holds the
following language
Undoubtedly, should an emergency arise,
making such a step necessary, the President
would be prompt to do his duty. But, in
the present state of things; and with the
present information in possession of the Gov,

the President is clothed, would seem to be
sufficient"
Tho Union reiterates the determination Of
the President to defend and protect Texas

States Government has acted "~strictly on
The defensive" but it is prepared at any

MExrcn-Up to this time no hostile de-
monstration has been made by this nation
openly, beyond some gaSconading proclama-
tions calling upon her citizens 10 arm them
selve for the defense Of their rights. Though
the adyices from Mexico are as late as the
18th of August, they indicate little more
than the harmless gascGnade which appears
TO be one of the peculiar characteristics Of
that nation. The ten thousand soldiers who
were within eight days march of General
Taylor have vanished into thin air. Instead
of so Formidable an array Of troops, accurate
information has reduced the number TO about
1000 under the command of ARTsrA, and al
tie last accounts, snngly ensconced in Mata.
mOros, instead Of breastiug the battle and the.
breeze on the plains OF Texas. With all The
ire and fury of Mexico, with all her vaunting
and vaporing, we cannot yet discover wheth-
er war has been declared; and there is.every
reason 10 believe, than unless she succeeds
in obtaining the Sl5,OO0.000 loan, her beIi-
cose demonstration. will be confined to
meaningless proclamations and bombastic
bulletins. In the meanwhile, it is n~ecessa.

PARISH PR1NTTNG.-It is strange how some
men, in good circumstances themselves, en-
joying ease and comfort at home, show their
incapacity of Judging ofthe value of labor per
formed by those of their fellow.beings who
arc obliged to earn their living BY the sweat
Of their brow. The price of printing for one
year was fixed at the paltry sun Of $50, 10 he
taken cut in deprecated parish paper at the
end ofthc year. We are very grateful to
those Of our friends who evinced more liberal
ity and were willing 10 grant us the reasona-
bic sum Of 500. Our duties. are three. times
as onerous as those ofthe Clerkof the Police
Jury and the Assessor, aud yet those gentle
men receive year. after year the sum Of 800.
There is over Is columns to be published and
translated, in the course Of the year. They
must be printed in English and French. In
Iberville $500 is paid for much less work, and
other parishes in the same proportion, Had
we net been kept at home through the Sc.
we're iudisposition of some Of our family, we
would have positively declined the unfair ap-
preparation made in our behalf. The state
ment that on a previous occasion we bad Of
fpred to do it for that price, is totally incor-
rect. Last year, we @ere elected printer, and
expected to receive 500 as usual-But some
of the members stated that a letter from The
editor Of the Democratic Aatocap was on Inc
table offering to do the work for $50, some of
our political friends then told Us if we did not
do itlor tie same price they would vote a.
gainst us-on the principle that s'half a loaf is
better than no Bread" we accepted it-but
we, as well as the editor e9the ADVOCATE
have since been convinced that il is a losing
business o do it at thatprice. There is just
about as much made at it as cotton planters
can make by selling cotton at . cents. Hsuch.
is the love andinterest~ demonstrated by some
Of our planters towards the hard working
mechanic, we are happy to see that there
are many noble exceptions.

Coon N BAL wTvEs.-A good wife exhi-
bits her love for her husband by trying to pro.
mote his welfare, and by administering to his
comfort.
A poor wife "dears" and "my loves" her
husband, and wouldn't sew a button on his
coat to keep him from freezing.
A sensible wife looks for her enjoyment at
home, a silly one abroad.
A wise girl would win a lover by p~ractis-
ing those virtues which secure admiration,
when personal charms have failed.
A simple girl endeayors to recommend her
self by the exhibition of frivolous accom-
plishments and a mawkish sentiment, which
are as shallow as her mind.
A good girl always respects herself and
therefore always possesses the respect of
others.

Yours very truly,
WIN, ID. BOYLE
10 the Editor Of the pIantorg' Gazette.

We confess that the above correspondence
not a little surprises us and an the matter
has assumed rather a serious aspect, we
feel bound in justice TO those concerned TO
treat it in that light. The editor Of the Ga.
zette plainly denies the fact that Mr.. Boyle
has expressed opposition to mr.; Harmanson's
election, and gives the above correspondence
az proof of the falsehood" he says, was
started by the Wing delegates from the con-
vention at st, Francisvilie.
Now in exposing this matter, VIC are
actuated by no mere personal motivea We
esChew the deceits Of party slang (; and
shall say nothing that is not strictly true, and
will bear the eeyerest scrutiny of investiga-
ton. First then, We directly Ch1rge that
Mr.. Boyle OH several occasions and in the
presence of numbers of our most respccta-
bic citizens, both Wings and Democrats,
declared unequivocally and without reserve
that he was opposed TO Harmanson's election,
that he considered him DEAD WEIGHT upon
the party, and that the part he (H.) took in.
the Copeland matter, was infamous and al
together condemnatory. Secondly, that on
one particular occasion, other leading Demo-
Gratis Of our parish also declared in his (B's)
presence, that il that matter was not cleared
up tlby Wuulu nOL NOtG lOI 1IdlibtiEOh dAhl
il was proposed that a convention be called
10 nominate UNDERGRADUATE.
Now these are the facts Of the cases. and
we are prepared to sustain them by indis-
purabIe evidence. II is no secrot here, and
there has been no effort to make it such,
These complaints have hcei quite general
in the Democrat ranks.
AS to the letter of Mr.. Boyle, VIC make
no comment but leave il with the public
to reconsile it with his former Statements,
in conclusion we would only say, that the
matter would not have been noticed by us.
but for the barefacod attempted the editor of
the Gazette to implicate certain very res
pectable gentlemen in what he@terms that
faIsehood." Here, where the facts are
known, ,the only effect which his brazen
can have will be, TO ofTepd the truth
loving portion even of his own party. i
