OUR DUTY TO TEXAS AND TO OUR
SELVES.

We could scarcely anticipate that there would be
kne American who would hesitate to arrest, by our
hvp arms, the invasion and devastation of Texas,
b. advancing Mexican troops. Never were wiser
4 more moderate and considerate instructions given
h our government, than in the case discussed in
M. Donelson's excellent correspondence. We

to.ed by the Congress as well as by the conven-
on-tbat is, both by her government and her people;

omplains of our Executive pledging himself to
isis, Texas in such an emergency. We know not
,hether we are more astonished or indignant, upon
uch an OCCASION We must not, we suppose, draw
GORDON around any Mexican post which may be
asst Of the Rio Grande! We must not prevent them
preading over the territory of Texas-or, rather,

A meeting Of the stockholders of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad was held on Saturday morning
last, agreeaby to call from the president and d.
rectors, to take into consideration the question Of
accepting the law Of the Legislature Of Virginia, au-
thorizing the construction Of the railroad through
that State to the city Of Wheeling, on the Ohio
river. There was very large number of stock
holders present, and decided majority Of the stock
was represented
The meeting was organized by calling John Mel.
son, esq, to the chair, and appointing J.J Atkin-
son secretary.
Mr.. T. s. Alexander appeared as the representa-
tive Of the stock subscribed by the city Of Wheeling;
butt on examination, it was ascertaned that the sub
scription of that city made conditional and that
the conditions not having been fulfilled the sub
scription was vacated some time since, provided
by law. Wheeling, it was therefore decided, is not
stockholder in the company.
communication was received from Mr.. Nc
Lane, the president, which was read. II reviewed
at length the law of the legislature Of Virginia. and
earnestly recommended that it should not be ac-
cepted.
A motion was made to postpone action on the
subject at this time, but the motion was lost by a
large majority.
Mr.. ]. p. Kennedy then offered preamble, set
ting forth at length why the law should NOT be ac-
cepted, and concluding by resolution respectfully
declining to accept the law Of Virginia. which
was unanimously adopted. The meeting then ad-
joumed.--,Aat, INT,

The Princeton steamer stopped at Norfolk on
Wednesday; and, after exchanging salutes with the
Pennsylvania, started for Philadelphia The Ports
mouth Era says;
I'VE learn that orders have been received by Commodore
Wilkinson to place the Constellation under the command
Captain sockton and that she be
into steam vessel on the principle Of the Princeton and
driven by the Lopez propeller
THE Constellation will be Immediately docked, and
some thirty feet added to her lengh her upper deck taken
out.p
The impression is that the Constellation can no
longer sail as frigate, her guns being too small.
She would be no match for frigates built according
to recent models To make her serviceable, it has
been recommended by the most experienced officers
to make corvette of her, to which propellers
could be attached. Captain Stockton has recon-
mended frightening her thirty feet but no order to
that effect has, as yet, been given.--UNoN.l

We respectfully submit it to the "Chareston
Mercury" whether such 'bald, disjointed chat"
as its Washington correspondent of the 7th July
furnishes, is worthy Of its columns Why, for in
stance, state that Messrs. Hunter and Seldom visit
ed this city on Sunday, "the day on which it is
well known the President will not receive any
panym "Messrs. Hunter and Seldom are both
well known and ardent friends and supporters of
Mr.. Calhoun; and this fact appears very significant.
Does it indicate 'stand-of' policy" Why not
add the fact, that these gentlemen the President
as friends, conversed with him freely as friends,
and, we undertake to assert, left him as warm, if
not warmer, friends than ever. Why does the cor
respondent add Ilearn, also, that few days ago,
Mr. Sims, member of Congress from South Carroll
ma, who succeeded the lamented Campbell, was also
in this city; and he called neither upon the Presi
dent nor Mr.. Richie Ominous!n Omnous, in
deed! Whether Mr.. Sims did us the honor to call
upon us, we know not for many gentlemen call at
our little box whom we do not see. o. whether
he visited the President, we do not think il worth
while to inquire; but Mr.. Sims did us the favor to
call at the "Union" Office, and subscribe for the pa

There is another consequence which i would be
well for all inconsiderate partisans 70 look to. II
the partisans of other gentlemen will consider for
moment, they will clearly that no good can ac-
crue TO their favoriies by the which they are
now pursuing; and that in every point Of view, il is
most likely TO be fatal to them. The people will, at
the proper time, take the subject into their own
hands; but in no event, am satisfied, will they NOM
mate any man whose friends have disturbed the
harmony Of the party, or impaired its strength;
which the President is wisely striving to CONSOLE
date.
These sir, are my views of the effects Of the mis-
advised conduct Of some of the friends of gentlemen
deemed fit to be elected 10 the presidency, and Of

have said is the result Of my own reflections upon
the dangers which threaten US, and for them am
alone accountable Time will prove their truth and
value. Let every man take heed Of them

sEIzEp.--John Bull has taken possession of Pata-
gonia, as appears by the following:
Capt. Deming, Of the ship Mexico, arrived yes
terday in 80 days from Valparaiso, reports that
Capt Rogers, from London, arrived there LIST April,
and informed him that he had landed Capt Gard
ner, of III. B. M navy, and Mr.. Hunt, in Cape Greg
DRY Bay, Straits Of Magellan, the Goth February.
They have gone to this desolnte region for the pur
pose of civilizing the Patagonian Indians Capt.
Rogers also stated that he remained in Cape Greg
DRY bay five days, and built them comfortable
home for the winter.
Patagonia is fine country, though occupied by
fierce and savage tribes of Indians. Il is twice as
large as Canada. The climate is somewhat similar
to that Of England. II fronts on the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, and commands the entrance to both,
at the Straits of Magellan. 1t is supposed Great
Britain has thus put her foot down upon American
territory as conqueror and how far she intends to
go, it is impossible to say.--N Y Sun.

this sdeof the Aantc and this strengthens the view
took my last that Mr. Me Lane to do all the cores

the treaty was to be signed in Washington. MIR Webster
made boundary treaty in Washington and why should
Mr. Buchanan do the thing But what folly is
to talk about conducting negotiation in two places far
apart London and Washington at the time Is the
Union blind, dull, that II cannot compre
bend the ridculousness Of such proposition~
We expressly said that Mr.. McLane was not to
be intrusted with the Oregon question: but that the
main negotiation was to be kept on this side Of the
Atlantic Is this correspondent $50 blind, or so
dull as not to see or comprehend that incidental or
collateral questions might come up on which it may
be competent for our minister in London to, give
some explanations The British government desires
to save the time which might be necessary to send
the point to this side of the water They state their
doubt to Mr.. McLane; and he gives what he under
stands to be the intention or position of his govern
ment. The negotiation then goes on at Washing
ton. All this is clear. 1t is likely to happen every
day, although the negotiation itself is conducted at
Washington. Can any man, who pretends to UNI
derstand anything Of diplomacy, be so dull as not
to comprehend this We repeat that the negotiation
is to be conducted here; and that Mr.. McLane
knows it, and approves it.

NAvAL.--The United States ship Portsmouth was
at Valparaiso April 9Th. She made a passage from
Norfolk TO Valparaiso in seyenty-one days. ten OF
which she lay in Rio Janeiro.
Letters received in New York, dated on board the
United States ship Raritan, May 90, say that the
officers and crew had enjoyed excellent health since
their arrival on the Brazil station There was not
death on board, with complement of FIVE hundred
men, for more than year.
THE Raritan accounts are to the 22d, but the
commodore writes nothing at that date-simply en-
closing papers of formal character.-UNIoN.l
