 To THE FRIENDS OF THE UNIoN!-We should be blind 10 the signs in the Heavens, if we did not foresee 'he storm which is rising. The opponents of Louisiana once declared that she must be excluded from the Union, "peaceably if we can, forcbIy if we must" The aboliiiousis decia, ing that they must exclude Texas ''pea"eably C they can, for cby Il they musl." The quasi friends of anuexa. ton exclam, she shall come in unless her Lands south oi 36t degrees positively divided between | the North and the South. Is there no danger, that m this struggle of con,endiug interests. Texas may entirely slip through fngers-lhat if these terms were adopted, she would not assent to them and that the South would Say in her turn, Texas must be ours, peaceably Il we can, lurciby if we musl!' II the Senate should reJeci the resolutions of the House ot Representatives, let them not hug Ile hope 10 their bosoms, that tine question is puI We tell them al once to yleld 10 no such Illusion. The breeze IS only rising and from that mOment il ili increase into tempest. The South will rise ,n he majesty of her strength. IL will sweep off the ami ienas wings, and every Souihetn and Western State will stand together Nothing can subdue their indomltabe spirit. They will feel themselves wrong. ed by the opposition and attacks of the loniss They will see once. if they yield to the abolition ists on this ground and with their threats boldly ut. tered against us, we shall be driven from post pi- lar, from one enrenchmen to another uni we shall oe dri,eh to the wall, our domestic institutions uoed by their ianaiica spirit and our very heal h. | stones invaded by their fury. We will not abandon | Texas then, until Texas abantons Us.
 | But 10 our friends in the North who have hitherto stood by us, and are yet now throwing stumbling blocks m our way, who say "you may have her, Lut you must divide the spOils with us-afie, too we own north of 36t, aud away of to the Pacific b- cean' we must respectfully say, in turn .'Look at the signs of the tiMes-see whether ,ou will not deieat the object which you have proessed have heart. Reject these resolutions; insist upon 34 te- grees instead of 36A; claim peremplorily DOT ton o the territory below 36a, without allowing US share o the immense territory north of the Mis- sour line, and do you not that Ibe South will re- ject Il!" Have you any doubts of il! Then read the Charleston Me,c cury
 w-foRK AND TExAs.--We insert, for the information oi our readers the New-York plan intro duced by Mr. Robinson of that State, into the House oi Representatives, for annexing Texas to the Union. II proposes to admit one State with slavery, but gem erouslv leaves il 10 the State so admitted ftto detev- mine whether slavery shall shall not exist in said Stdtes! And as 10 the rest of Texns, comprising II Is estimated at least 'our States more it shall be surrendered 10 the jurisdiction of Congress, sin which slavery shall not exist unless Congress shall hereafter so determine by law" The majority in Congress being from the free States of course it is permanent allotment of four free tates and ne slave State. We are reatly al a loss to know how treat bfio ptopochiOh' Bs 10 tne representatives 1rum the Norh they cannot have the least expectation of anneximg Texas to the Union, on such terms, we cannot believe, consistently with the least respect for their understandings. Ifa traitor from the South could be found to vote Tor in Congress there man in Texas who woud reject it with indigna- tion and scorn. We can only view it in one of two lights; Il Is either designed as a flat insult to the Soutn or as method o announcing eternal hostili ty to Texas annexation. In either event. its intend ed effect must be to cut of the South from every par. hon Der own course of self protection and self vind There Is hut one course for every Southern man stand on the Missouri compromise line to which the faith of the North, well as of the South is bound, and II again as before, Northern iaIth is ln be proved synonimUus with treachery, fasehood and oppression-meet t,e CT isis like men and freemen Yield not one hairs breadth be,o,d this lIne. but maintain il at every hazard. The Southern Repre- sentaiives that shall yield more, in our opinion, will deserve inamy.'
 This is substantially becoming the rising sentj. men in Virginia-and we understand is the firm de. termination oi all the indomitable sons of the South and West in Congress.
 But we have word for the ear of the Charleston Mercury, and of all the ciiizens of the South. The Mercury quotes this Mr. Robinson. and his oura geous resolutions Now, what do you say fo the statement winch he softened in our yesterdays pa per. Il which comes to us with additional confirma ton and aggravated details. by yes'erda, s mai from Washingon2 We give the extract of a corresron
 
 precisely as II comes To Us:
 "There is great trouble in the New York wigwam IL seems that Robinson of the House from New. York Ga DemocraD wrote sort of cit cular to Albany, and put lt in the hands of all the Democrats, urging them by all means to reject Dick inson and Foster. and to send two anti-Texas Senator's protesting against d compromise of sending either sde, and urg. ing therefore, that anneraton ,soud glue Caihosn th ascsndancy orer WnsM; that h ,Oouid prepent Caihom from haping the control Polk aud the G0peTnmea ha7 fo fhe sIScfio f-c We some one sent the te Senator Foster copy of the letter. and he 'makes bones of showing it to every one. Mr. - promises me to secure a copy, and if so. you shal have it It will doubt worm It's way into newspaper shortly The Tenesseeana are very indignant, and threatened 10 place copy in Folks hands the momdni he gets here. Was there ever such piece of inamy To sacrifice te best good of the countryi'
 We clear Mr. Wright and Mr. Dix, the pure and patriotic Republicans of New York, from every picion of participating in such vile intrigue-but what must think of it's author and abettors? Must tbis great Republic eterna, be the victim of Presi. dental struggles? The country belongs 10 the peo- pie. IL is their Government-nnd they are b ouhd 10 watch over 1t, and to put down any man who pre- su'nes 10 rule her destlnp for his advancement. Robinson speaks it would seem, of Virgin and Cal houn We have scarcely patience to pour forth the indignant commentary which inc mere suggestion is calculated to inspire into every honorable bosom.- Wright and Calhoun!-who the,, that we must look to them, or any man, the lord of our desi- uiesa They nothing in compar on with the glory and the prosperity of our country. Able men they boIb are-enled to the gratitude of the people but neither o them, nor is any man worthy of sup- planting the cause Of Texas-or worthy at this time ofbeing put in the line of succession by any ntrgue or indeed by any premature struggle. We tell these and all other political friends t0 bide their time, and wait till the people cal upon them to them in their public councils. They may be called upon here after. Two or three years hence, their names may be presented for public consideration. But it de- pends upon themselves and their iriends--how they behave-and let the friends of every great would be great man be assured that too much eagerness will only counteract lher own wishes. Try to pluck the pear before II is ripe, and they lose il forever, We say again and again, that we have no idea Mir. Wright or Mr. Calhoun can be so infatuated eas to countenance any scheme, any intrigue, much less to jeoEardise Ihe aie of such great measure the annexation of Texas. We do not suspect them of such design. As for us, cannot refrain the in- dignation which the very snppostion conveys. As for Mir Polk, he is not ihe man we take him for, if he does mol scout every idea of the succession Robnsons folly ought not to affect in the slightest degree. Mir. Folks feelings and respect for New ork, or any of her distinguished sons.
