TEXAS IN MAINE.

The Maine House Of Representatives have indie
iniieiy postponed the joint resolutions introduced
into the Legislature, instructing their Senator'S and
requesting their Representatives to vote in favor Of
the admission of Texas. The resolutions were
called up on Tuesday, and after various attempts
to amend, they were indefinitely postponed. The
vote was reconsidered and after some debate they
were again postponed, o. to 81. Mr. Fessenden
then said that, in order to test whether the House
was DESTROYS Of getting rid Of the subject he moved
reconsideration Of the vote indefinitely Postponing
the resolves. This motion to reconsider was lost !;
and so the matter ended.

| A REMINIscENcE.-There is still very convinc-
ing proof that the public interest does demand the
completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to
Cumberland. This proof is contained in the ex-
animation of the President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, before committee Of the
Maryland House of Delegates in 1897, in which the
following passage occurs
sIn proportion the increase of trade in Baltimore
greater of capital will be attracted to that city and
by the advantages arising from augmented demand and
arged price, every part Of the State must be benefited but
none more than the de-acr counties For the accomplish
ment of these Objects have always considered the Chesa
peake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
chiefly necessary, and in rivals Their real interest
appears to me 10 be one and the same eineny deserving
The aid of the State and requiring Of both union and hnr-
mony of purpose" While the Canal is des7 70 be (and
is desirable should bel the carrier of the coz and
other articles of heavy burden, the Rail n hs( ~ to
passengers, articles Of lighter built r&asft 70
which time is a material element, So teif - tses
in the winter season, when the ca aetes = m
active" ~ 49, H
The above which is extracfe8 ftrn the evidence
Of the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company, before committee of the House Of
Delegates at December session, 1887, pretty con-
clusiyely proves that there ,oas time, at least,
when the railroad did doubt their capacity to engage
in the transportation of coal to Baltimore without
danger of serious competition with any other rival
although they now find it convenient TO assert the
contrary.--4ieraidria Gazette.

There is one thing in which the ardent advocates
of the Oregon bill are entirely correct; we mean
their anticpations of war with England as con-
sequence Of the passage Of the bill. II is scarcely
more certain, If there may be degrees OF certainty,
that the sun is present in the heavens than that war
will follow the enforcement of this contemplated act.
How, then, is the matter to be regarded! II IT is
determined that the bill shall pass, in the terms pro-
posed, and with the inevitable alternative in view,
let the country know it, Why are not some ade-
quate measures of preparation on foot! What abb
surdty is ths-that men in power should talk big,
and utter threats, and urge precipitatc measures TO
bring on hostilites, without stirring hand TO pro-
vide for the war which they are so bold in provo
king! These heroes of verbiage, do they suppose
that their inyectives will suffice to beat back an IN
vading foe Or are they the BoBADns who are to
stand us instead of armies and ornaments
Simultaneously with the passage Of the bill to
take exclusive possession of the Oregon, there should
be adopted war-bill to provide men and munitions
of war; to strengthen defences, to put our for
tresses in order, and to construct new ones. Cot
ton bags would prove no protection TO New Orleans
against fleet of war steamers /; nor would Fort
McHenry again 90 free under the mild ordeal OF a
distant bombardment. In the course OF the next
summer British ships, direct from Plymouth docks,
may visit Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo. Where
is the city on our Atlantic coast that is prepared for
defence against sudden assault of armed steam
ships If we become involved in hostilities with
Great Britain our legislators should keep it in mind
that there will be no child's play after the war is
begun, however much there may be before.

As this is question that seems likely to engender
troubles and even absolute hostilities, between kin
dred and friendly nations, whose entire interest it
is to remain at peace with each other, unless some
mode of bringing the matter to issue in spirit of
Cancellation surrendering no established right be
adopted then why not, should negotiation fail di-
rechy, submit il to, the arbitrament Of some indie
pendent friendly Power who has no interest in the
result No greater difficulties probably exist,

was resored TO and it is believed that England
would even submit the matter to her old enemy,
France, sooner than 60 to war. Let this, then, be

the public morals, have remained priyate but it is
now on sale in all the bookstores, and cheap edi-
tons are hawked from door to door for the edica-
ton Of all who can buy or borrow it. The Balti-

But have heard, too, with still greater surprise,
as coming time from men bearing leading part
in the Administration, and as coming at another
time, we are sorry to say, from our own friends,
another kindred theory of war, viz. that we need
war, to re-unite the country, to give employment to
the idle and the miscellaneous, and TO dissipate as
tornadoes sweep away plaques, the wide corruption,
the rule Of abandoned and incompetent men, that
have settled over every part Of public affairs.
To those of our opponents who we know will
turn deaf to any warnings Of ours, il is need
less for us to address any argument against the fol-
ly Of desiring war for the sake Of its excitement or
Of the patronage and the emoluments which 1t will
place at the command Of the party in power. II

cause, to get up war with some foreign Power,

forthwith and without moments delay, to provide
for the raising of an army of forty or fifty thousand
men, and appropriating as many millions OF dollars
for building seam-frigates and floating batteries.
Even this outlay Of money, to begin with, would be
but drop in the bucket compared with the vast ex-
penditure in which war thus courted would inev-
tably involve the United States. ~ ,.s,
AS to those others, friends of ours, whom despon-
dency over the triumphant i'll around us, the sight
on all sides Of public virtue and ability detected and
forlorn, has driven to place their thoughts upon
such desperate remedies, we can only bid them re-
member what has been already said of the sure ten
dency Of war to strengthen what is already TO us far
too strong--the Executive power. Besides, il a re-
vival Of patriotism, re-ascendency of worth and
talent might be expected on one part on the other
we have to fear wide and well-founded dissension
and disafecton. In word, if there might be some
thing medicinal in an honest war, there can be no
healing virtue in one of injustice and folly.
