All this is shipped to six ports alone-
Now, if Agricultural products which we
now send to these islands would no longer
be exported by us, the trade would go into
the hands of the British. For II Is not me-
cessary for the people of these six ports to
take any of these goods from US; but as we
bring back the prodr cts of their countries,
sugar, &c. in exchange for ours. they
trade with US in return because we are
their customers, and our market is conven
lent for them. But with a horizontal duty
in force, England would take those mar
kets from US. and leave US only markets
for part of our Cotton and Tobacco.
"The Secretary of the Treasury states
that we employ in the transportation of our
agricultu raj products of the six ports 49,
056 men, $40 boys, 1887 vessels, amoun-
ting to 2S2 $50 tons-Here is then 18th
of our whole maritime force engaged in
taking out our products, and bringing US
back wealth in return-equal to the en>
tire revenue of the United States Governs
ment. And this income is derived from
our timber. which cost US nothing as forest
production, employed in ship -building) and
in freights, and agricultural industy ex'
ported under the flag of the United States" /"

We have waived our claims too long already,

well IN war as in peace, has earned the gratitude Of

REPRESENTATIVES HALL, Dec. 81, I645.
DEAR SIR My attention has been called to res
oution published in the Union Of the 29h inst, in
reference TO my note on the joint resolutions for the
annexation of Texas. This resolution was adopted
at u convention assembled in the county of Albany,
for the purpose of recommending to the governor oi
the State of New York suitable persons to I'll GER
tain vacancies and by vote Of thirty out Of dele
CATION usually consisting Of seventy members. In
consequences Of the previous question: several Of my
colleagues, besides myself were debarred Of OPP
portunity of assigning our reasons for vote on
the Texas resolutions. Mine have been forwarded
Of those most concerned The annexation of Texas
was one thing, and its annexation with clause in
her constitution perpetuating slavery, quite another
Nor could sanction by my vote the form in which
it was accomplished. On this subject my views
were well known during the congressional canvass
in my district, concealed from no one who wished
to know them, land there were many such, and all
who knew me knew as well then, as now, what my
action would be on this question. Its annexation
in the manner it effected, never was presented
as democratic measure in my district, nor in any
other manner that am aware of. Unquestionably
many were in favor Of the annexation but neither
then nor now, as believe, do they constitute ma
jority.

81 fOr the Union
To the Postmaster General and Members Of Congress-
see by the Presidents message that the Post
Office Department has fallen considerably short of
its support, and an increase Of postage recon-
mended. Could not the post-ofice receipts be rem
dered very near, if not quite, sufficient for its own
support If the transportation of the mail let out
to the lowest bidder regardless Of whether the mail
was carried in four-horse coaches, mal-carts, or
horseback All the people care about is to have
their correspondence conveyed with as much speed
and safety possible, and as little expense,
Coaches are run, not because necessary to carry the
mail, but for profits TO the contractor passengers;
and is il fair that the corresponding public should
be taxed with heavy postage for the convenience of
travelling public and the profits Of a contractors
think this ought to be looked to, and not put upon
the people unnecessary increase of postage. With
railroads, it is Of course different No contractor
can compete with it in its speedy transportation OF
the mail.
A PLAIN FARMER.
We insert the foregoing, in compliance with the
wish of our correspondent He appears TO be en-
tirey unaware ofthe fact that the law now is pre-.
cisely as he desires it and that the Postmaster Gen.
eral is carrying it most fully and faithfully into exc
cution. or course, he has no right to interfere with
the existing contracts made under the former law,
but as fast as they expire, by their own limitation
or otherwise, the Postmaster General substitutes
new contract for the transportation Of the mail, al
the lowest terms received, without any regard to
the mode of conveyance whatever, further than
what is necessary (as in the of railroad and
steamboat routes, and on routes where the weight
and bulk Of the mail are too great for horseback
conveyance,) to give the requisite speed, and in
sure the despatch Of the whole mail. A reference
to the report Of the Postmaster General will show
with what frmness he has adhered to the law il
this respect against the remonstrances and protest.
Of contractors and others. The new law was passed

RESPONDENT OF THE UNION
NEW YoRK, Dec. 80, ls45.

Toths Editor Of The Union:
II is admitted all hands, that it would be OF
the highest possible importance every section OF
the United States, and especially to those States
whose soil and climate are peculiarly adapted to the
production Of WHEAT and maize, for Great Britain to
reduce her corn-laws to low fixed duty, or even
to admit maize at a mere nominal duty. Equally
advantageous to the people Of Great Britain except
ing an omnibus load of her and-ownng arstocracy
would be the same reduction of duty upon corn.
And or the other side of the question, it is admitted
that the reduction Of tariff to a revenue standard
upon all articles, with certain determinations below
it. would be mutually profitable to the people of this
country-with the exception of a corresponding ON
nibus load of northumberland equally advan-
tageous to the people of Great Britain.
NOW, then, We may never hope for more suspicious
period Of time to bring both these events to pass
They are events worthy of the age--worthy of the
nations that achieve themworthy of the enlighten-
ed progress Of civilized and Christianzed humanity
Heaven itself would seem even now to be rebuking
the landed arisocracy OF Great Britain for not dis.
charging palpable duty; and the people of this
country, in the issues presented before them at the
Baltimore convention, fully expressed their will at
the succeeding presidential election upon the point
IN question.
Clearly, a grca, duty rests somewhere-a heavy
responsibility rests upon somebody's shoulders.
Doubtless part of it resta upon cabinets admnistra-
tons, and negotiations, and part Of it upon legsla-
ton. Secretary Walker has most ably and admi-
rably discharged his duty. But not SO has Sir
Robert Peel hope his prospects of peerage do
not stand in the way. What are Messrs. Buchanan
and Aberdeen doingb What are Messrs. McLane
and Pakenham doing' And what are Parliament and
Congress likely to do' The people are deeply in.
teresed in these matters, and do expect something
to be done by somebody. As to the quo nodo, II
will hardly do to say, it was said of the Zoll-
Veren treaty, at cannot be ratfed"-"favored ma.
tons" are in the way, and all that. The people
apt to think that when there is will there is
way. For one, should be pleased to hear word
from the "Union" upon the subject cannot but
think the present is The time TO settle the Oregon TIA
riff, and corn questions solid and permanent
basis; and that they may be so grouped and COM
bined as to be mutually advantageous to both. ma
tons, and insure uninterrupted peace. These are
golden opportunities to accomplish mighty results,
and the people certainly do expect much from an
enlightened democratic administration and legisla-
ton. Yours truly,
The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-12-31
