ANNEXATION.

Foreign nations. England. ance, Russa &C., may
monstrae &c. against the annexation of Texas to the Uni
ted states"-H CLAY
Who does not know enough of English history
to understand the grounds on which she would re-
monstratei
Did not Ireland, Wales, and Scotland force them
selves into the British emprei Historians have re-
corded many long and bloody wars which those ma
tons brayed before they were able unite with the
empire Of Britain, What power could now sunder
the precious union which was so clearly bought
all her armies, could not dripe the Irish from her
stoeei embrace. Daniel O'Connell well knows that,
in of the dissolution he himself would sink into
comparative nsignfcance, and perhaps pass to prs-
on and to DEATH through the nrigues of the honest
Jesuiis 1t is the power of Sir Robert Peel which
pours the gold into OConnell's purse. The conduct
of England towards India, too, puts keenness upon
the point of her remonstrance which will pierce
Americans conscience to the quick. For, was it
not in spite of the millions of her brave soldiers,
and in spite of her deadly opposition to annexation
that the Indies were annexed poor, cocardy Afghan
istan alone excepted,
Remonstrance from France also would come with
awful dignity and force. France, who has so re-
Gently annexed Algeria to her empire, and would SO
gladly annex the Sandwich islands to her power
France would indeed bring the Queen Of the South
from the uttermost parts Of the earth into judgment
against us. The Car Of Russia too, in the midst
Of his eternal adherence Of annexation leads $780,

as LETTER-BALANcEs.--In the course of the
examination Of these balances, by the committee
appointed by the Postmaster General, a loose label
card, belonging to Livingston, Rogers Co, (who
presented two samples Of iron pscaies) was at
tached through accident, by one Of the committee,
to sample of iron trp-scales presented by Arthurs
g. Nicholson. The committee had no reference to
the names Of the manufacturers; but considered the
three samples here adverted to as having been Of
fered by the persons; and in reporting No 46,
as the second best Of the Fpscales presented, had
reference the principle of construction and merits
of these three samples. 1t is now stated, in answer
10 a complaint of Messrs. Arthurs & Nicholson, OF
Pittsburgh Pa as due to them and to TRUTH that the
sample No 46, was presented by them.

NEW APPOINTMENTS

The New Orleans Tropic (whig) speaks very fa-
vorably of the recent federal appointments in the
Crescent city. Mr.. Macmurdo is native of Rich
mond and is well known for his intelligence and
business habits. He has been, for many years, a
merchant in New Orleans, and we know him to be
very popular. 1t cannot be denied that, thus far,
the officers selected by the President have been very
acceptable to the people. Now and then we hear
cnrpings from the federal press at the victims Of
prescription; but they should recoectthe .'regn OF
terror" in 1S4l, when Francis Granger, the great
mover Of the guilotne, cut off the heads Of many
democrats and boosted OF his cruelty. The number
of changes effected by Mr.. Polk is not comparable
to the sweeping removals under wing admInlstra-
tion.--Rich. Eng
THE foregoing appointments WILL believe. give very
general satisfaction Messrs. Macmurdo and Duncan are
highly respectable gentlemen very much esteemed Tor
their good qualities and excellent business capacities and
we doubt they will discharge the duties OF their respect
i've stations with ability and fidelity. MIR Wagner, who
succeeds old friend Sidney Robertson as United states
marshal quite young man son OF our neghhor o. inc
Courier and very modest deserving young gentleman
We hear his business qualifications spoken OF In very high
terms BY those who know him OF Mr. Landry, the new
surveyor general we know nothing.
IAs our whg friends had to walk plank, we rejoice
that Mr. Polk appointed upright business and not
filled their places with party hacks and pohouse politf

strongly liked ON newly -liberatcd slaves. They
have lived under protectors and masters and cannot
be expected TO possess the power of at once step
ping safely into successful independence. For these
reasons, think they should not place themselves be-
yond the reception ofthatyery necessary aid extended
to them by the society at home. hope our country
will protect them from foreign oppression, and
show TO the world, that il We are saveholders, we
can also protect the negro in his efforts TO establish
himself as one among the nations of the earth. ]
have much feeling for these people, and wish to see
them prosper. ] send you copy of the laws OF
Liberia, presented to me by Governor Roberts
You may see from them something OF the cond
ton and character of the country. When shall
have seen more of the African coast, l will endea-
vor TO give you some idea Of its geography. We
are now in the neighborhood of elephants, tigers,
and Demonstrators. The ant hills are not yet
levelled, and the huts of the natives correspond
very well to the pictures of them in the little geog-
raphy of my school boy days. The natives live in
state of the rudest barbarity, being Naked filthy
perstous, worshippers Of sticks and bones, and be-
levers in the most absurd nonsense. They are
wi ling to sell each other and, by-the-by, when
asked them why they sold each other they have
answered, by question in return, "Why white man
buy negroi" am in hopes we shall 60 through the
West Indies on our return to the United States; for
this climate units one to bear that of the United
States coast The whole of this coast is sckly, and
Porto Praya is but little, If any better. But here
we know no comfort, can get no stores for our
messes, no clothes for our backs, and never know
the security Of a good harbor. A month on the
coast is year anywhere else. Yet every one gets
fat out here! | expect TO weigh $50 before | get
home. The quarters on board the Truxton are
small, but comfortable, and our mess pleasant, but
faring wretchedy. Ginger beer is great luxury,
and pork and peas formed my dinner to-day.
