and most direct mode OF saving Texas from the
butcheries Of the savage Mexicans, was TO tell
the Mexican Government the whole truth on
this subject This is just what Mr.. Calhoun
directed Mr.. shannon To do-to tell Mr.. ReJon
that cur Government had seen General Wops
barbGrous proclamation, and that we, having
invited Texas into the negotiation could not be
expected 10 stand by, and see her citizens butch
cred for asserting TO measure proposed by us.
BY way Of letting the Mexieans know that this
negotiation was not intended 10 keep alive a
mere haHlbug, Mr.. Calhoun instructs MIR. Shan
non TO take the ground that our Government
has long cherished deep sense Of the import
ance OF Texas to our safety, and that nearly
erery Administration for tteeRty years has
sought by negotiation 10 amer Tsras 10 Me
United STATES. What objection can be taken
to these instructions They were known TO
be true in Mexico, and therefore repetition Of
them by Mr.. Calhoun could give no Just offence
TO her. We confess that we are pleased with
that open, bold, and undisguised mode Of doing
business, which shows that what we do is done
with eandor aud in earnest. Mr.. Calhoun's di-
plomacy is Of that kind which would satisfy
Mexico at once that the annexation Of Texas
was not huHlbug, as declared by MIR. Clay
He determined not to mince his words, or to
conceal his yiews-snd we cannot understand
why he has not pursued the proper course to Sc
cure The honor Of the country.
In these remarks we have expressed our own
feelings and sentiments, and we alone are re-
sponsible for them. We know nothing [of

these matters; but one thing we do know. that
his foreign policy will be open, straightforward,

MR.. CALHOUN'S DIPLOMACY.

We cannot believe that the Morning News
is actuated, in its censure of Mr.. Calhoun's d-
plomacy, by the unworthy purpose attributed to
it by some--a uoish TO prevent Mr. Calhoun
from continuing IN The Cabinet. We discard
utterly the insinuation that Mr.. Van Buren, or
MIR Wright is procuring or countenancing these
assaults on Mr.. Calhoun. They are wholly in
capable of any such attempt to injure so dislin-
guished patriot and statesman.
We have already expressed our regret at the
course of the News towards Mr.. Shannon
The responsibility, however, is supposed to at
tacb properly TO Mr.. Calhoun, under whose in.
suuctions Mr.. Shannon acted This does not
change our view of the diplomacy-we cannot
see the good sense in the objections raised to
the instructions of Mr.. Calhoun to Mr.. Shan
non. Let it be remembered that our Govern
ment inUited Texas to negotiate with US for
annexation. Mexico made this negotiation the
pretext for renewing hostties against Texas.
General VOL in his proclamation, announced
his determination to prosecute the war against
the Texans in a manner 10 which Indian
barbarty scarcely furnishes parallel" 10 this
condition Of things, our Government was bound
by every principle Of honor, of humanity, Of
god faith, to see that the threatened bsrbar- |

EXPERIMENTATION.

This is becoming the most exciting subject Of the
day. and the publication OF the recent diplomatic cor
respondence with Mexico, has given increased inter
est to the question. In the election of Mr. Polk the
country has decided in favor of annexation as soon
as practicable" Such the naked question pre-
sented 10 our people, and argued before them The
precise terms and condition which this was to be
effected, MT distinctly presented other than il
should be fairly and honorably accomplished. The
settlement Of these terms, though seemingly Of minor
Importance still presents difficulties and many
questions are started which require consideration.
Shall Mexico be consulted and her assent obtained
as prerequisite TO annexstion' What shall be the
boundary OF the territory on the West2 These and
many similar questions have been started and produce
hesIancy on the part OF Congress. As to the question
of the assent Of Mexico think there can now be lit
tie occasi to hesitate. BY what authority can she
now claim to interiere' Texas thar eight wears
ago in open war drove the Mexicans from her ter
rory and achieved her independence and has main
tanned il undsiurbed, in peace and quiet to the pre-
sent time In the mean time, her Independence has
been acknowledged by the principal civilized govern
ments of the world, who have formed commercial
treaties with her. The government has from the time
OF It's establishment to the present. exhibited greater
degree OF stability and harmony even, than has that of
Mexico. Mexico has, it is true, never acknowledged
her independence, but has shown told inability to
conquer her. If doubt remained on the mind of any
person OF the want of power on the part of Mexico
to subjupate Texas, that doubt must have vanished
since the abrogation of the armistice and the windy
proclamation of Mexico of a renewal Of hostilities
which has ended in empty gasconade, The truth i,
Texas is a nation more independent than Mexico,
and whatever reason there might have been hereto

now exist, and therefore there should be no embar
