The news received last evening OF the reception
of Texas into the Union by the q wish could say
Unanimously vote Of the Senate gave great 10Y to al
most every class of our citizens, for even those who
originally opposed the measure of annexation hest

acknowledge that it must prove vastly beneficial to
all interests, but more especially to the commercial
and manufacturing interests of the country We
are to have hundred guns on the occasion, besides
balls, and bonfres, and squs Of powder, Ca barrel

The election for the democratic general and ward
committees took place yesterday, and they went off
peaceably and almost unanimously for Polk, Texas,
Oregon and California, and nothlg else" Calfor-
MA it does really appear, the high road to for
tune and to fame. This is glorious news to New
Workers., especially, for they have just had touch
of John Forney, and they are extremely DESTROYS of
embracing Cal. *
The "Express," perceive, is "roundly abusive"
of the writer of this for presumng to laugh at the
ups and downs Of Wall street stock-gamblers and
colored-shin gentlemen generally lie says wha,
affects Wall street affects the whole Union. In
whatever way the real money concerns of Wall
street are affected, it extends admit to every sec

The editor knows better; and when he attempts to
prove that the acts Of the administration have affect

cording to the express" doctrine, be attributed to
President Polk. The editor gives a column of such

of which shall be answered from its own paper; for
find in the same sheet, under the head of CONNER

"The news from England has had decided infu

else besides the course of the administration:
.'The effect Of the foreign news upon the stock
market has been very unfavorable and has caused
large decline in the whole list. Transactions il,
breadstuffs for export have been suspended In
deed the operations in most artices-such as cotton
grain, and provsions-havc been light. The news
will cause quite disappointment to those who have
anticipated an advance in breadstuffs on the other

crop and the rot and although the repealers Of the
corn laws have received large accession TO their
cause yet there to be fears to the stock
of breadstuils, and prices were lower than they
were quoted at by the previous arrival
The editor Of the Express should be extremely
cautious not TO forget to-day what he put into his
paper Of yesterday
