 Ertract of Hon. Nathan Appiefon's Letter.
 BosTor, I0h November, lS46. | l cannot take part in this Texas movement. For all practical purposes, far as ihe people are con- cerned, l consider the question as settled.
 l l observe amongst ile parties in this movement, great numier, fl not majority o those who have distinguished tlemselves members of the Aboli- ton party. Now believe ourfatIers did wisely in establishing the Union of the States under the ex- is,ng constitution It is at least questionable weth | er the abolition movement s reconciiable with duty under that const,iulion Al any rate that move inent, as conducted, was calculated m my opinion, to produce and has produced nothing but evil. It has banded the South into solid phalanx in resist ancc Co what they consider m impertnent and un- just ifable interference with their own peculiar rights and ls ness. IL has thus exaspcraed lher feelings and by it's operations their fears, has increased inc severity of the slave laws. It has postponed the period O emanc patton in the more northern slave States, which were fast rpenng for that e'ent.--- Finally, by it's political aclion it has secured tho election of fMr. Polk. and the admission of Texas l into the Union. 1 l cannot sympathise with their cry of"Accaraed be the Unon,' and cannot but regret some of the | sentiments contained in the documents inclosed to me- I cannot furnish funds to aid n their dissemi i nation. With much respect I am,
