besides 257 scattering. This places Woodbury. in

of a Washington scribber We beg leave to ex-
plain the true point in the question. Here is a

States, circulated with avidty by the wing press
II is conradcted in the "Union." Its author then i'm
pudentiy addresses the editor Of the "Unon," under
his own name, and repeats his assertion, under the
alleged authority Of Mr.. Rcverdy Johnson, sena-
tor of the United States As to the author himself,
nobody cares for him. He is only the fly in amber:
body cares for the fly. The only wonder is, that
he should have been found in communion with the
senator Of the United States whose own character,
and still more the high character Of his Office, entitle
him to the consideration OF the world. II was the
name and position, and the alleged testimony of
Mr.. Johnson which called for the notice Of the dis

al rejoice that we have such man as James X.
Polk as President of the United States.
The whole country in this region, begin to realize
the happy effects of making Mr.. Polk President.
Confidence has been again restored, money is be-
coming plenty, and business Of all kinds brisk.
People have all gone to work again. In my whole
life have never such change for the better,
in the brief space of Twelve months"
Such comes TO us from various quarters, as the
general voice Of the people. We have never seen
such idle clamor-such puny opposition on the
part of the whigs-such warm and decided senti.
ment of appreciation on the part Of the people.
In despite, therefore, Of the remarks of this morn

which (it says) we have in defending ourselves and
the administration generally, see great reason
to dread the power Of the wings II will be pleased
to rccolect that the paragraph which it quotes from

tains the antidote. We must ''purify the public
morals from the poisonous atmosphere of the
banks" This was the suggestion which we re-
spectfuly made to our republican friends in Ohio,
and to which adhere more firmly than ever.
We beg the Baltimore American, therefore, to
place itself at ease about the 'hard time'' we have
before u.s. the Iabors we have to encounter. Not
withstandng the virulence of some of the wing
presses, we not at all alarmed by the force Of
their arguments, or the violence Of their abuse.
Two or three Of the yclept republican presses are
giving US much annoyance as the wings them
selves. II they are honest they will soon see their
error If inclined to desert to the enemy, they will
be deprived of the power to injure us. Upon the
whole, whilst we thank the Baltimore American for
the sympathy which it would extend to us, we have
no "hard time Of it, as it is pleased to imagine.
The wing presses do not put US to a great deal Of
trouble; and we shall, in the course of few DAYS
be able to introduce greater variety of mscella.

great political subject which we propose to discuss
the tariff, of course. We shall commence regular
series of articles upon this important question in the
course Of the next week.

our new constitution did not require all elections to
be held In this way. So far as have been able TO

by the peoples there will be little or no opposition

from Europe who have not as yet acquired citizen

be comparatively few. think there 10 very large
majority even of hsse foreigners who in favor Of
the measure Of annexation. There were many per-
sons in Texas, who were in favor Of annexation,
but who did not think the terms offered by the UNI
ted States such as we ought in justice TO ourselves
to accept and who believed that the Congress Of the
United States at the next session would have offer
ed better terms. This class of persons--most of
them--will vote for annexation, believing that its
failure now would be most disastrous, not only to
Texas but to the whole slave-holdng portion of the
