ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

We commence to-day the publication of the
speech of Senator Dickinson, of New York, in
favor Of the Joint Resolution from the House of
Representatives. speech which will long re-
douHd to the honor Of its author, who, il will be
remembered, incurred the ire Of the New York
Evening Post, for certain imputed heretical doc
uines, when the result proved hs accusers 10 be
the heretcs.
In regard to the relative merits Of the Joint
Resolution and the amendment Of Mr.. Benton,
we believe that with the exception Of the Even
ing Post, and one or two other heterodox prints,
the journals Of the country with great unanim-
ity, take il for granted that the Amendment will
not be resorted 10 by the Executive unless the
Joint Resolution should fail. Out of Congress
there does not seem to be the sembance of OPP
position to the House measure, nor any parry
whatever in favor Of the amendment of the
Senate. Indeed the amendment amounted TO
nothing for the Executive can negotiate with
out asking the permission Of the Senate, and
the requisite appropriation for the expense of
negotiation could be made afterwards, as well as
beforehand. Therefore we regard the Amend
ment as a mere salvo, intended merely TO satisfy
the within Of two or three gentlemen, and to
enable them to retreat from false positions with
something like grace.

The Senator FROM Kentucky, (Mr Morehsad.l
with imposing eloquence and figure, grouped Ihs
happy sisters Of the Consdsrscy, and La

THE CABINET, &c.

The symptoms Of dissatisfaction In one or
two quarters at the composition of the Cabinet,
have entiiely subsidized and disappeared We
do not believe that other men would have given
greater satisfaction. They are all known 10 be
able and distinguished Republicans.
But the present was not the time, under any
circumstances, to object 10 the Cabiaet. They
should be tried frst-judged by their acts-and
then approved or condemned as justice might
dictate. And this il is no doubt the intention
Of the party and the country TO do.
In regard 10 the proscrptive policy which
was urged by few partisan journals, il is quite
apparent that the Presidents refusal 10 adopt
such advice, is very generally acquiesced in and
approved by those who voted for him. None,
OF the comparatively few who have been disap-
pointed in their expectations, and most Of whom
no doubt deserve to be disappointed, would be
able, if they were so disposed, TO induce any
considerable number Of their friends TO embark
in hostile enterprise against theAdminisuation.
The late election was a contest for principles,
aud not merely for spoils.
We doubt whether any leader of any note
could be induced to engage in a crusade against
the President for declining to make a required
number Of removals. Ii would be a strange
spectacle indeed, to see a Republican states
man, agreeing in principle with the President,
and yet warning against him because he will not
dsbbe 10 such lule matters as the opinions Of
the small incumbents of small Offices. Such a
statesman would hardly die for bis principles

THE KILKENNY CAT FIGHT.

Yesterday we published several extracts from
the New York Courier & Enquirer, denuncia-
tory of certain Whig-Aboliton movements, in
which the New York Tribune was roughly
handled. Below we give portion Of the Tri-
bune'sreply:
"But the Courier must Drag Mr.. Clay into this
controversy and accuse those Wings who oppose the
extension of slavery with combining TO defeat his cleo
zion To all Of this trash that is PERSONAL we have
very little to say. The public know whether our ex-
erons throughout the late Presidential struggle
calculated to aid or to defeat Mr.. Clays cleo ion =
From the day Of the nomination Of Mr. Clay at Bal
iimore 10 the close Of the contest gave scarcely
wakeful hour or thought to any thing ese than the
canvass. That we failed to promote the Wing cause
may be; but that we did not try to aid it, he must be
a foolish liar who would assert. That our efforts
less propitious to Mr.. CIay's success than Col
Webbs absence from the country, we do not deny
but when each did his best, why should either find
fault 2"
We think all the parties to this controversy
are right, and that all of the editors richly de-
serve the lashings they bestow upon each other
In the meantime the Wing party, as it has been
heretofore organized, stands dissolved

Mr.. CALHoUN.-We learn from the Charleston Is.
CO. Patriot Of Saturday last, that Mr.. Calhoun had
arrived in that city, in the Wilmington boat, and APP
pearcd in good health and spirits, and that on his
reaching the wharf he was welcomed to the city by
branch Of the general Committee of Fifty, who Of
fered him the hospalitles of the city He took lodg-
ngs at the Charleston Hotel where, in the course of
the forenoon, large number of his fellow citizens
paid their respects to him.
At I2 O'Clock he was waited on by the Committee
of Fifty together with the City Council, and was ad-
dressed by Henry Bailey, Esq, in an appropriate
manner offering him, in the name of the citizens at
large their congratulations and the public thanks for
the successful he had discharged his official
Duties since his elevation to the post of Secretary of
State under Mr.. Tyler's Administration. Mr.. Cal
houn replied with equal feeling and felicity, to this
deserved compliment but declined from the pressing
nature Of his domestic engagements, the honor of a
public dinner.
Mr.. Calhoun dned, by particular invitation, with
the City Council, and left on the ensuing morning for
his residence in Pendeton district.

Decentralization Washington eorrespon-
dent IN bis letter OF yesterday makes long notice of
the daguerreotype establishment Of Anthony, Ed
wards Co. We dissent, in great measure, from
'he encomums uttered by our correspondent those
artists. No doubt they are very good in their way,
but we believe that Mr.. Plumbe is without rival IN
this department Of art The talents and success Of
that gentleman in taking kenesses by this extraor
binary and interesting process, are well known to
us. We have been no inatlentive Observers Of the
progress OF this novel art and we are free say,
from what we have seen and personally examined
that Mr. Pumbe, who is now in Washington, and
has an establishment in this city has succeeded in this
art so as to surpass all others in the line in this coun-
try. We do not speak a, random. Our Washington
correspondent is unjust in his euIogiss Of Anthony
Edwards Il Co, at the expense Of Mr.. Plumbe and
we request him to step into Mr. Plumbes gallery al

the admirable lkenesses and successful hits which
are to be seen there.--N " Herald

he Rev. s. Tusros arose, and broke the profound
silence by reading ItheI nnetieth Psalm, commencing
" Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all gene.
ratons."
And he addressed the throne Of grace, humby im-
ploring "Him who empers the northern blast 10 the
sides Of the tender lamb newly shorn Of its fleece to
comfort and heal the hearts which His own hand has
lacerated."
The reverend gentleman then delivered short dis
course the text which he bad selected as appropr-
ate to the occasion, from the siIeih chapter of Isaiah
viz "Thy sun shall more go down neither shall
thy withdraw itself for the Lord shall be thine
everlasting light and the days of thy mourning shall
be ended"

strong contrast between this present and nconstant
life and the never-varying existence beyond the sky
