THE WHIGPARTY.

From al parts of the country, North, South,
Fast, and West, the watchword is heard from
the Sentinels of the Wing pariy-"Staud to
your colors." There is no symptom Of de-
lection any ;wherc. The only thing that
threatened the disbandment Of the Wing par
", was the lure held out to them by the Ma
tive American party. Indignant as the Wings
had Just right to be. at being, defeated by
frauds upon the naturalization laws, the lure
was held out tempting.y az peculiar mo-
ment; hut never on earth did any party
manifest frnness and integrity in a more sig
niican; manner than the Wings did in rciec-
ting such overtures in their defeat. The
Wing warty islands fast upon its old princi-
pies, maintaining its perfect organization
glorying in It's ever glorious name. The
Wing party is an organization upon well
known prineipIes-principles the establish
ment of hich in the administrative measures
OF the country, they deem as essential 10 The
interests as preservative Of the institutions of
the country. Founded as those principles
are on the immutable basis Of ruth and JUS
ice, the wings cannot, without gross derel-
lotion and dishonor, abandon them; and the
duty TO stand by them is made more impcr-
alive by the allegiance to which TO which they
have been subjected in the defeat of Mr..
Clay. To the rejecting patriot, then, the
spectacle of the harmony and answering
: .irmness now displayed by the Wing party. is
most consolatory and encouraging. We are
not conquered; we cannot be conquered ;
! We have only ustained temporary reverse.
As TO the frauds on the naturalization laws,
! they should undoubtedly be prevented il
possible; but to prevent them, there is not
: the slightest necessity or even propriety in
d:sbanding the Wing party. The necessity
! if necessity there be, cfamendins those laws,
so far from disturbing the organization Of the
Wing party should only tighten and strength
emit. We are not sure that the extension oil
| nc term of probation 10 aliens would render
| frauds less numerous: for the violator Of eX-
istin5 laws would find means 10 evade 9th
crs. Sill honestly requires that every thing
proper should be done to prevent frauds, eav-
ing them solely responsible The spirit and
essence of Whigism is conservative; and il
ought rot 10 be doubted-lor its principles
and history are { sure guaraniee-that there
nc anything practical in the measures o! the
Native party, so much of than as may be
lust, moral, proper, and practical, will lie alb
.orbcd and incorporated into tho Wing creed
We are glad to hnd that this practical and
rational view of the subject is generally taker
hy the Wings, as we felt sure it would be af-
Ter the first transports of indignation at the
means of oui defeat had subsidized. Oul
watchword, then, along the whole Wing line
! Is STAND TO YOUR CoLoRs.

From the Emancipation.
TEXAS NOT ANNEXED.

The resolution Just passed ty Congress
does not admit Texas either as State oil
| territory, into the Union.
Two distinct plans are proposed. The
first consents that Texas may form State
constitution by c7nvention called for the
purpose, ..in orGer that the some may be Qd,
miitcd as one ofhe !Sictcs Of The Union; y
which constitution is 10 be transmitted to the
Gong for its fRGl action on or before tie
first dag Of JanuuTy, 1886"
This provision clearly does not admit Tex
as as Territory or as State; and after the
State constitution is formed. it still remains
IN independent government Until Cor Icss
has ratified it constitution.
The last plan is to give the President the
power to negotiate with Texas. The re-
suit Of the negotiation in this case, must be
again acted upon by the Senate as treaty, or
by articles 10 be submitted 20 the two houses
of Congress for ratification.
Cunder this last plan no one supposes Tex
as to be nOlc annexed.
But under either it is still in the power
OF the Northern States TO preveDtannexation,
by Congress steadily refusing to admit the
Stale of Texas, except on the fundamental
conditions of abolishing slavery. and not in
volvius us in a war with Mexico.
The complexion the next House Of Rep
resertatives will be more against annexation
than the present. But the Northern States
mast now arise in their strength. Let every
congressional district at the North, whose
representative is at all opposed to annexation
or doubtful, instruct its representative never
TO consent TO the admission of Texas rs n

MEXICo-LATE AND IMPORTANT

We learn from uuquestionable authority
that Gen. Almonte, the Mexican Minister al
Washington, sent in his protest on Friday,
and demanded his pass ports, and that he will
/ leave for this city, to embark in a few days,
or as soon as the health of his family will
,, permit. On Saturday, he had received no
reply from the Secretary of State.
Dispatches were received here from the
Mexican Government by the barque Anahuac
which arrived OH Friday from Vera Cruz.
| They were instantly sent on to Gcn.Almonte.
Ii seems by the following intelligence which
came by the same conveyance, but which
escaped the Press at that lime, that news Of
| the Annexation by the House of Represcn-
tatives had reached Mexico, but probably
not in time to receive the attention Of the
Government prior TO the sailing of the YES
sci.
We have received The Government Disrio
Of Mexico Of Feb. l4th.
The news of the passage Of the Annexa-
ton Bill though the House had Just arrived,
as appears from the following paragraphs
which we translate:
MEXICO. FEB. 14rH.-A private letter
from tho United States contains the follow
ing paragraphs, which we hasten TO publish,
on account Of the great interest Of their con-
tents.
The Washington mai! which has just ar

cial journal,) of that evening says, that, at
half-past three o'clock. on that day, the bill
of Sir. Brown, for the Annexation of Texas
was passed by the House of Representatives.
and immediately sent TO TIE Senate.
The Madisonian says that the bill passed
by small majority; and private letter from
well informed writer, states that it was car
ried by 81 votes. and that he fears it will be
rejected By the Senate.

with that patriotic zeal which distinguishes
the present administration. to the department
of Texas, The proceeding news does not
surprise US, for all were apprized Of the res
oution Of the President of the United States
to effect the annexation, aiterthe Senate had
refused it. The circumstance, that the Gov
eminent has obtained a very small majority
in the Honse of Representatives, and tina.
the Senate consists OF the same members
who have once rejected it, leads us to hope
that the hostile plans Of the American gov
eminent may yet prove Intellectual, whichthe

public opinion, will oppose with all her pow
err, and with all the resources Of her COM
mand.
