men frankly admit that they expect nothing
from Polk, Their leader. instead OF solicit
ing office under he new administration
holds himself aloof. and in all probability
will decline anv office that is tenderd him In

times; and will not consent to hold seat in

THE PARTING LOOK.

We parted-cold and worldly eyes
Upon that parting fell,
And bravely we kept back our sighz.
And calmly said Farewell"
But there are looks we learned OF Love,
That none bat Love can read;
And, like the flash from cloud TO cloud,
From heart TO heart they speed.
Calm, as it ne'er had breathed vow,
Thy rich voice falIered n OF;
Serene as heaven thy princely brow,
As Love were all forgotl
Yet, in one eager glance, thy soul,
On wings of light TO niue,
In wild and passionate sorrow, stole,
And whispered words divine
Heavens blessings on that royal heart,
That thus can lavish feelingl
Twas almost sweet, tho pain TO part,
Our silent love revealing.-New Mirror.

THE NEWS FROM TEXAS.

The Texan papers devoted to the interests
of the Texan Executive, seem to hint pretty
boldly that the House resolutions adopted by
our Government, will not be accepted by Tex
as. If this should turn out TO be correct, we
have no expectation that any thing can be &C
complished by Mr.. Benton's amendment, unless
the commissioners appointed TO negotiate the
matter should be willing to embrace the terms
of the "Tyler and Calhoun Treaty" We
knoao that the terms of that treaty would be &C
ceded to--and beyond this nobody knows any
thing of the purposes of the Government OF
Texas.
Nor is it at all certain, in the event OF the re-
vival Of the Texas treaty. that it could pass our
Senate. We cannot but feel great dread and
apprehension in reference to the next move
ments in Texas. We have expressed our de-
sire, and done what else besides we could, 10
see Texas annexed in any possible manner
that might be Deutschland we shall continue
to do so. But we must say that the dictatorlal
Jacobin clique, which are now claiming all the
credit of securing Annexation, 10y affecting
to oppose it, will be held responsible for having
voted against the treaty, should all other plans
fail.

SANDWICH IsLANps-The difficulties which have
arisen between the Sandwich Island Government and
our Commercial Agent there Mr. Brown and the
fact that said government has solicited his recall sug-
gest the propriety of the appointment of special
agent proceed to those Islands and negotiate trea-
ty securing to American residents within the domin-
ions of His Hawaiian Majesty, all the privileges en-.
joyed by British and French residents. OF course
Americans will not consent to any other basis of ar
rangement- IL any nation in the world has right to
demand peculiar privileges from the Sand wich island
Government, that nation is the United States. For
not only do those Islands owe to the United States
their moral and religious elevation; but the number
Of American residents and American ships at the
Islands far exceeds those of all other nations We
however, DO not ask nor desire exclusive privileges
Equal privileges we demand and doubtless il per.
fectly accords with the views of the Sandwich Island
Government 10 grant them. That Government car
have no possible motive for seeking to place Amer.
can residents upon a dishonorable footing. But il
seems there are certain forms TO be gone
through with; the privileges to be enjoyed
by our citizens must be defined by Treaty. And
as it would be ungeDerous, after what has occurred
to require the S. /. Government to negotiate with
Mr. Brown, IT follows that Special Agent should bs
| appointed for the purpose of negotiating Treaty
unless it is intended to recall Mr.. Brown in compli
ance with the solicitation of that Government ir
which the trust might be devolved upon his sue
cessor. Our opinion is, tIat the Sandwich Islands
should be treated with much forbearance, even il
wrong in the position they have taken in the contro
versy with Mr.. Brown, (Which we neither affirm moi
deny,) a. they are inexperienced in matters of gov
eminent, and their admitted weakness removes any
danger of our generosity being attributed to an un-
worthy cause.

When we reflect the number of these fish, the
