But there was no danger ot any sucn al- tempt. One sister of the tWentY-siX might occasionally get liule out of hunor, and attempt 10 cut capers and 1aise storm about something that did not quite suit her, and her people might for while be convul&ed and talk in threatening tones, but Ill . circle of surrounding States, all linked by d common feeling and u common interest, how soon could she be put down. i'hg. remaining twenty-iiye looked on with interest, but with out sharing her excitement.

And he again said, that, being all of the same Anglo Saxon race, the extension ol the Con- lederacY to tae limits he had iadcated would slfeangthen instead Of weakening our Union, and would greatly promote the security and prosperity oi the Republic.
 Another great advantage flowing from the admission of TeXas would be that Il would relieve us from the painful position of having rival Republic IL our doors. So situated, q rival must become all enemy. Her great staples were our great staples: we should he natural rivals II the same markets ol the world What an opportunity would this not present for foreign influence to fomenl dissen sions and national leuds.

 now come zsaid 1Ir. B. to the last topic. The only objection 10 the admission o 1'c%ds deserving serious consideration is, liiat ii will eXtead the area ol slavery. |! 1t were not for this consideration the country would be as unanimous on this subject as t efer had been on any great question. The aboIlon- lsts and the WdGn a,lvorates of negro eman- cipatloa oppose the admission o. Yexas lor this aad for He other reason. Bul are there not considerations Whiea entirely aahly this objection, and cast the weight of the afgu- meat on the other side l. may spread slavery over large snlaee, but will 1t n- crease the number of slaves To man in hls senses believes laal Texas, independent, will abolish sIavefE England has strained every nerve to induce her 10 adopt this measure; but aiI in vain. E lglaud has od,rcd to gua- raaty her independence, lo obtain the recor- nl.ioa oI her independence by Mexico on this condition; bnt all her efforts have proved uHavaling. Then slavery is destined 10 exist ln Texas, whether we admit her into our Union or not.
 The admission of ffexas will forever pre- vent c foreign slave lraIe from reaching her shores.
