MY DEAR SIR The glorious news has Just
reached us of the final triumph of anne Ration. 1t
has lit up the face of many Democrat, and their
faces are an indication that their hearts feel glad
No question: venture to say since the foundation of
our Government has more deeply engaged the public
attention than the Texas question: and none since the
formation Of parties in this country has been better
test Of Democracy. Wherever you found a real
Federal or one who tinctured with Federal
principles, but who was ashamed or afraid to own
them, in such an you were sure to find an enemy
to the reacquisition of Texas. So when you found
real genuine Democrat, even if by mistake he had
got into the Wing party-one whose sympathy was
with the and with liberty, in such an one you
were sure to find friend to Texas. 'Let that lone
star come in, will not shine the less bright for
the addition; but the twenty seven will give great
er light than the twenty-six. Let others enjoy the
blessings of liberty security and prosperity which we
enjoy" Thus spoke out the honest Democrats all
over the land-North as well as South, East alike
with the West. From these men, honorable excep-
tons to the general rule, some men, have no doubt
who are true to Democratic principles were honestly
opposed to the admission Of Texas because they SUD-
posed it would strengthen and perpetuate slavery
but such instances were and formed exceptions
to the general feeling of the Democracy. Well the
work IS consummated, or, in my judgment, as good
as consummated, and America and American inter-
ests have triumphed, and British policy and English
interference have been rebuked and defeated. On
ward is the pathway of Young America. Let the
out and lettering moDarches of Europe look on
T..t M
up the limbs of the young giant of the West Lib
cry is new element of strength and durability,
which will preserve her amid every conflict and give
her the victory in every strife with despotism Texas
is now ours, the stars and stripes will soon wave
fromlher Capitol But this is not enough the far
of Oregon must know no other flag than those same
stars and stripes. The people, the same insti-
buttons, and the same freedom must extend from
to ocean, and the mouth of the Hudson ON the
one and the mouth of the Columbia on the other he
alike subject TO the same free government. The De-
mocracy Of the land will never be satisfied with sny
thing short Of this.
The new Administration will now begin under
most favorable auspices and the old one will retire
with halo Of glory and, doubt not, with entire .,
tisfaction.
MIR. Polk has the confidence of the People in a re-
msrkable degree; his position is sound one he is
smphstically the President Of the People; to no
clique did he owe his nomination. to none wa, he in
debted for his elections strong conviction of his
honesty, integrity, and patriotism rallied the masses
the real Democracy, to his support, and they bore
down all opposition in their impetuous course and
now, with the exciting and troublesome question of
annexation off bis hands, and with the public conf
dence, we may anticipate for his Administration
prosperity and success hope so, and, in common
with the great mass Of the Democracy, will labor for
,h, result BY giving to his Administration firm and
honest support We laborsd bard to elect President
