The Loco Foco members of Congress held their
caucus last evening at the Capitol, and i. was
very generally attended by The party. The resnl,
OF the meeting was no further agreement than 20
proceed at once to the debate upon the subject o:
annexation, and accordingly to-day We have had
two speeches upon the annexation of Texas. and
both from the friends Of the measure.
There was no agreement in caucus as to the
plan Tor annexation. Some Were for one form
and some for another, bu, decided maiority-
thlr'y-one, am told,--vosed for the immediate
annexation. -
The debate to-day gave no evidence of any
'hing like unity of opinion. There were three
new Bills, as you will see, introduced BY mem.
oers OF the dominant party. all looking to different
modes. What the end will be it is difficult to
know, but the best opinion think is that the an
nexaion scheme will pass the House in some
form. and 1t Is probable that simple plan to an
mex Texas will command most votes.
The debate to-day commanded great attention.
several Senators were present, and some of
the members of the Cabinet.

TExA,.--Thc Washington correspondent, Of the
Philadelphia U. s. Gazette writes
learn that the Caucus Committee of the
Rouse OF Representatives have agreed on a plan
OF annexation In order 10 get round the want of
authority TO annex territory 10 the United States.
they propose to admit Texas as State at once
Yea, the whole territory is to come in az single
State, with provisions for dividing it into MANY
hereafter! This is cutting the gordian knot of
constitutional obligation at once. There is no
authority, these statesmen admit, to annex any ad-
ditonai territory TO the u. s., yet as Congress
has the power to admit new STATES into the Union,
It ls only necessary to call the territory State,
and the constitutional obligation vanishes, and ali

rFor the American Republican,
LYCEUNS-A SUGGESTION.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-l desire to throw out,
through your valuable and widely circulated
sheet, a few hints, which, tlatter nyself, are
entitled to some consideration.
Baltimore has been Justly styled the City Of
Monuments; and if the excellent and praiscwor-
thy virtues of our ilustrlous ancestors are not
initiated by u.s. it will not be because
ono marble shaft is reared to tell
The story of their fame"
But it is not in monuments alone that our beaH-
ttul city can boast; she can point to her LycC-
ums, her Debating Institutions; those intelIec-
tual gymnasia, which hold out TO the youth
such mighty incentives to virtue and know
ledge; and may she not say with the Roman
matron, These are my Jewels" That the
Lyceum system is fast rising in point Of respec
liability and influence, is clearly seen in every
intelligent community. The old prejudices
that formerly existed among parents are disap-
pearing. They entertained the notions, that
the debating hall was but place of wranglng
and angry disputes, a place every way cal
culated to engender ill-feelings and quarrel
some spirit, and destroy the finer sensibllties of
the heart. But these notions are giving way,
and the real merits of these institutions, hither
to obscure, are now seen and appreciated.
1t is not expected that the Lyceum will an
swer as substitute for the University, or the
Academy, but it can do much for those deprived
of their advantages. The mental powers are
here tasked to their uttermost, every faculty of
the mind is awakened and called into action,
and the dormant, though immortal energies Of
the soul aroused by the clash and contact Of
mind with mind, will brighten and grow NIGH
ty; and thought once plumed for flight, will
soar like Ncwtons or a Franklin's, to unlock
the flood-gatcs of Heavens light and launch
the thunderbots of truth far into unexplored
depths beyond.
If this be the nature and effect of these insti-
tutions, there ought to be devised plan, by
which their existence can he render more gen
eral One way, and perhaps the best, by
which this can be brought about, is, let there
be organized parent society (you may call it
the Congress of Lyceums if yon please) consist
ing Of delegates from every respectable Lyceum
in the city. And let this parent society meet
at stated periods (say once in two weeks or
monthly to transact such business as shall be
deemed necessary for the promotion of the de-
sired object. And you may, by means Of sub
sclptlon, create prize fund, out of which to
award premiums for excellence in composition,
Sc; and indeed, with very little trouble, this
might be made one of the most useful instltu-
tons in the city. We hope that the members
and friends of the different Lyceums, will take
this matter into consideration, and give it their
hearty cooperation. }. W. NJ.

ten to the proceedings of the annual session of
the Synod of Virginia. The Rev'd. Stephen
Taylor, of Petersburg, delivered the opening
sermon, from the 18th and 18th verses Of the
Sd chapter of Genesis. The discourse was
solid, practical, and interesting, and doubtless
made deep impression on the minds Of all
who heard it,
After the conclusion of religious service, the
Synod was constituted by prayer, and the roll
of the different Prosbyteries called. The Rev.
Stephen Taylor, of Petersburg, was elected
Moderator for the session. The Rev. Thomas

OUR CoUN TnY

Our COuntry-'ls glorious land,
With wide arms stretched from shore to sh
The proud Pacific chafes Acr strand,
She hears the dark Atlantic roar;
Aud nurtured in her ample breast,
How many gondy prospect lies,
In natures widest grandeur drest,
Ename,led with her lovelie st dies.
Rich prairies deck'd with flowers of gold,
Like sun-lit oceans roll afar;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold,
Rejecting clear each trembling star:
And mighty rivers, mountain born,
Go sweeping onward dark and deep,
Through forests where the bounding fawn,
Beneath their sheltering branches leap.
And Graded midst her clustering hills,
sweet Wales in dream like beauty hide,
Where love the air with music file,
Aud calm content and peace abide.
For plenty here her fulness pou's
la rich profusiOn 0er the land,
And, sent 10 seize her generous stores,
There prows no tyrant's hireling band.
Great God! we thank thee for this home
This bocnteous birth land of the free;
Where wanderers from atar may come,
And breathe the air of liberty!
Still may her flowers untrammt led spring,
Her harvest wave, her cities rise,
And yet till Time shall fold his wing,
Remain carth's loveliest paradise.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. A letter from Port

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. A letter from Porto
Grande, ED August, says;
One of our squadron, the ship PEBBLE, is go
ing home in few days, with several sick Off
GERS of the squadron, fsur of whom are from
this ship. None of them, however, are sick of
any disease of the climate, but generally from
dyspepsia or consumption. There has not been
a single case of the coast fever in the squadron
since we have been out here, nor do think
there will be, after the salutary precautions
taken by our Commander.
One of tie officers of the frigate Macedo-
Man is engaged to very pretty native girl of
Palmos.
There are now four vessels of the squadron
here, the ships Preble, Yorktown, Southamp-
ton, and thisship. The report is that we go
again to Madeira and the Canaries. The COM
mander always lives on shore at both these
places, as his health is far from good, and per-
mlts the officers Of his staff to live there also.
The health d every officer in the squadron is
perfectly god, except those who were sick be-
fore they lot home, and are now returning
there.

LATER FROM MEXICO Threatened Reuols-
ton. The N. Orleans Bee contains advicei
from Vera Cruz to the Goth ult. There is very
little of what is, strictly speaking, news, blu
disorder, INSTRUMENTATION and anarchy are max
ing Perceptible progress in this unhappy coun
try. Another revolution appears ready to breal
out. 1t is yet in its germ, but pervades thu
whole country though ii has not as yet actually
taken place any where.
As an evidence of the disaflected spirit
which prevails, Paroles, Gaona and Felsola
vindcate themselves from the charge of hav-
ing neglected or violated their trust, by ascrb-
ing their conduct of the troops at San Luis
Their statements are, however, dscreditcd,
and little confidence seems ever TO have been
reposed in them.
An amazing number of false rumors appear
to be circulating respecting the movements of
the army Of observation. Thus a letter from
Monterey states that five thousand Americans
were advancing upon Matamoras. At Mexico
1t was reported that our troops were only TWEEN
ty-iOnr leagues distant from Matamoras
Tampico paper-La Esparanza-says that
Gen. Arista is only waiting the arrival of
100000, which lie is daily expecting, before
fixing his head quarters on the Rio Grande!
On the 10th September, Gen. Herrera, on
the occasion Of his Inauguration as President of
the Republic, pronounced discourse, in which
he adverted to the general condition of the
country: but with so much reserve that his
views present little that is tangible. He speaks
of the necessity of peace and order-of public
economy-of the preservation of the national
resources in case of unexpected exigencies-of
the discipline and correct moral demeanor of
the army, which are Improvements ndispensa-
Bile to the defence of the territory. He likewise
alludes to the recovery Of the province wrested
fiom Mexico, and of the vengeance to be in
ficted for the ou.rages which Mexican hon or
has sustained
