Having got me aside. he stated his

a certain young woman in his neigh.

on her part, for she was willing 10 love
him II she could; and in or Ter 10 over

him, would consent to any feasible
means. A love powder was that
which most naturally suggested itself
20 his mind; and he had called to pro-
cure one.

FROM TEXAS.

The u. S. Gutter Woodbury., which arrived
yesterday, brought later advices from Galveston.
The papers contain President Houston's Message.
Some OF them treat that document with consider
able harshness, as the remarks made by the Pre-
sident upon the subject of Annexation are regard
ed as having san awful squirting towards oppo-
siton TO that project"
Captain Elliott, the British Charge d'Affaires
to Texas. had arrived at Galveston on board the
Spartan, and was on his way TO the Seat of Coz
vernnent. The Spartan had left Galveston for
Vera Cruz. with, it is said, important dispatches
for the Mexican Government.
The papers contain little Of interest. save the
message in question. The President states that
since the adjournment Of Congress, treaty of
amity, navigation, and commerce, has been nego-
tIated with some Of the German States, which
has proved convenient and profitable.
VI Annexation it speaks obliquely as follows:
."Ihere is no ground to suspect that the late
agitation OF International questions between this
Republic and that of the United States has, in
any degree, abateG their desire for our continued
prosperity and independence, or caused them to
relax their good Offices to bring about the speedy
and honorable adjustment of our difficulties with
Mexico. That they should eyince anxiety for our
separate existence and permanent Independence
as nation, is not only natural but comrnendable.
They will never require of U.S. / am fully assured,
any sacrifice OF honor or interest and il they
did, we should be quite free, as ain certain we
would be ready, TO resent it. They are too well
acquainted with The history Of our origin and pro-
gress to suppose, for an Instant that we would
under any circumstances surrender one jot or tit
tie OF that liberty and right to self-government
which we achieved in the saDguinary conflicts Of
the Revolution, give up single privilege SCI
cured 10 US by our laws and constitution. They
will not ask it-~ihey do not expect tive will
not yield it.
"Our relations with the United States remain
in the same condition as at the time Of my last
annual communication. We are still without any

HARD fusiIED,,

j The darlington Globe and the Richmond En-
quiver afetfying their art to make little capital,
to operate upon our election Of United States'
Senator. out Of the following paragraph, which is
extracted from some speculations Of the London
Times, in regard to The results Of the late Presi-
Dental election:
'ln order 10 maintain majority in the Senate,
(says the Times,) they ( tho Whigs9 must elect
the Senator from Virginia and the Senator from
Delaware. Unless they get the Virginia and De-
laware Senators, the Slave and Texas party will
have the practical majority. through the casting
vote of the Vice President of the United States"
The words "Musr ELIOT" which are used a,
bove. as will be seen, merely to denote state of
facts, are seized upon by these veri,abie prints
and tortured into an edies of the Times TO the
Wing party.-fhus, says the Globe, wThe Old
Dominion has its orders now from Quarter
which it would not obey a century o"!-And
the Richmond Enquirer, as if rolling up its eyes
in wild establishment, exclaims-"Can it be pos.
sibie that Republican Virginia will tamely sub
nit to the election OF Wing Senator at The bid
ding of London Journal"
Verify Locofocoism, in the opinion Of these
great organs Of the party, must be as simple and
as senseless unfedged bird-which opes its
mouth as readily TO receive pebble as worm-
or they would not attempt to delude it with mis-
representation so gross and palpable. Much ne
has been said about illiberal remarks of Wings,
in regard to Locofoco intelligence, We doubt whe.
Their either of the presses in question can show a
grosser insult offered to their party than they
themselves here perpe,rate. But, that is ..all in
the family" we suppose, and therefore it makes
no difference.
There is one Thing, however, OF some practical
consequence which we derive from tho foregoing
and that is, that the Wings have The po,oer t.
elect q Senator and that they will do SO, unles.
the Senate can be brought to disregard its consli
tutional duty, and refuse TO go into an election
Hence, no doubt, arises this poor and pitifu effor
to get up popular excitement on the subject
But it will be Of no avail. Neither the Senate
nor the party whose object it would be to serve,
can escape the responsibility of course SO fac
tious and unwarranlable. This they knew, and
we do not believe they will venture upon it.

HoRRID MURDER.-A murder of the most ag-
eravated and horrld character was committed in
the village of Madison, on the Amherst side of
the river from this place, on Wednesday, the 25th
OF December. A father imbruing his hands in
his own sons blood. The circumstances, as
we could learn, were these: The son, Edmund
Malone, between 23 and 25 years of ago, with
the remainder of the family, were sitting at the
dinner table, when some very trivial dispute "a
rose between him and his father, Blanks Malone.
The old man then stepped up behind his son
with large knife, (perhaps prepared for the pur-
pose as we understand he had often before threat
ened to commit the deed,) and stabbed his son
through his breast-bone to the heart. large
stream OF blood Immediately flowed out, and the
unfortunate victim soon died. We forbear fur

MRxIco-Ihe Indemnity. Mexico, by her fail.
ing to pay the two last instruments due under the
Indemnity treaty, has placed herself in position
the most embarrassing which weak power can
occupy In relation to stronger power. The
tage of the occasion which This failure presents.
and says:
Let Congress, by Joint Resolution, authorize
the Executive to employ portion of our Navy in
instiiutHg rigid blockade of the Ports of Vera
Cruz and Tampico, and we venture the prediction
that. in sixty days, the whole balance of the in
demDity, whether due or not, will be forthcoming.
Bu, we consider that the whole is due; Mexico
having failed to pay as stipulated in the treaty.
Perhaps if Mexico would agree to give up her
claim upon Texas the Administration would be
willing 10 assume the amount due TO our citizens
from the Mexican Government Under such an
arrangement new interest might be added to
those which are already enlisted in behalf of an
nexation.---BdH. 3merican.

FisH.-A friend who has just returned from
the sea shore of New Jersey, informs us that the
whole shore, for thirty or forty miles, is covered
with dead fish, cast up by the sea. They are of
sturgeon, some rock fish, weighing forty or frtv
pounds. and rich sea bass. Many of the fish are
washed up before they are dead. So great is the
number that gentleman computed that on Lea
ming's Beach alone there must be ten thousand
bushels. What has happened among the fish,
we cannot tell, as we do not know to what un-
wholesome influences they are liable in the deeps
