the Eastern States, to be worked on in the manner i'll which they have attempted; and that, however wealthy and intellectual few of their secret friends may be, their number IS but small Tn comparison with the rest of their lellow-citzens, to whom they are well known, and who scan all their actions with jealous and cautious eye. It is, however, melancholy suppositon to indulge in; yet, nevertheless, true-that, blessed as we are by Providence as the especial nation of His al-wise care, there should be found among us men ready and willing to take part with our enemies, and only requiring the moral courage to assist them openly. We do not wonder at the British press coming out thus boldly, and eulogising men of this character, when 1t IS a matter of daily occurrence to see the '' National Intelligcneer," printed at the seat of the government of the United States, and a few other papers of kindred spirit throughout the country, containing ar ticle after article, calculated (and intended, no doubt) to do injury to the republican cause, which as freemen they should espouse, and, as publishers ol a press at least avow- edly republican, advocate. The question of the annexation of Texas Is no longer party one. Congress on the one hand, and the people ol Texas on the other, have settled 1t. She is now portion of the United States, and must be defended as such ,; and whether the policy of our government Is attacked by Mexico, England, or any other power, Il must be repelled. We lament, therefore, that the secret enemies of our country, so elo- quentv eulogized abroad by the London Times," and so energetcally represented at home by thejr organ, lhe "National lntelli- gencer," should continue to make attempts, so unworthy, to thwart the measures of the present administration, so successfully carry ing into effect the intentions of Congress- From every portion of our widely extended territory, the people are proclalming that the course of the President is approved Of. The sanction of large majority Is given to his policy; and it is too late for these carpng cavllers to effect their object. The mark is already upon them, and they have for their reward the contempt and execration of all true patriots.
 The secret enemies of their country should take warning from the example of deserlers, who have ever been the scoa of their fellow men. The affinity with a foreign foe is strictly scrntinized. They are known and viewed in their true light. The apple ol discord cannot be thrown with effect into the ranks of the democratic republican party Every attempt will only rivet more closely the chains which bind the friends of the ad- minstration together. Nay, more if they persist in treachery to their country, they will detach from all other parties the worthy and deserving, and add them to the friends of the government. "Our country, right or wrong,' is the true sentiment of every republ- can; and never was the feeling more general. A '.hirelngo press in our midst, encouraging enemies abroad, will only rally the people at home more closely together A foreign press, aiding and abetting traitors, will only cause us to be more watchful. The we'll being of our land demands it; and that birth right of freedom, for which our forelathers fought and bled, is not the less to be valued, when those possessing it are attacked by foreign foes or domestic traitors.
