The rock upon which the Texas scrip
holders will split, is Slavery. Texas will
not desire to come into the Union unless
her ten or twenty millions of debt are
paid. and unless slavery is to exist in all
the supposed to. be six new States OF Tex
as. The Calhoun men of the South will
not desire her annexation, unless 1t is
strongly TO increase the slaVeholdlng re-
presentation in Congress. Now, Nor
thern demagogues, who look home to
their constituents for support, and who do
not look to the White House for office,
will hardly dare to take twenty millions OF
debt, and territory for six new slave
holding States in its train. The question:
of slavery must be compromised before
Texas can get into the Union. We dou BIT
whether Texas will accept Of the comPro-
mise, or whether the Calhoun men of the
South will desire her with compromise.
But, we shall see.-E Y. Express.

The Texas ExcITEMENT.-A storm is
gathering over the heads of those North
ern men in Congress who are now prepar-
ing to sell out New York, New England,
and their interests and principles to Tex
as scriPholders in other parts ofthe Union.
they may prattle to their own satisfaction
about "enlarging the area of freedom" by
increasing the domain of slavery,-but
their insincerity and their reckiessness
are making an uneasy bed for them, when
they get home among their constituents.
Mr.. Calhoun has given new impetus and
a new interests to this Texas question
since the Presidential election He puts
it especially upon the ground of slavery,
urges that if is for, and in behalf of slavery
to extend, perpetuate, and to fortify sla-
very, and therefore it is, that without dis
tinetiOn of party, storm is gathering in
these parts of the Union that will burst
upon the heads of those who heed not, or
who defy the mandates of Public ODin.

OUR RAILROAD.

The grantees of the Cheshire Railroad
will meet in this town on Friday, to accept the
charter There can be no question as 10 the
result. 1t is believed by all parties, friends
of The road, that the charter will be satsfac-
tory. The only fear on the subject is the
preliminary steps-delay on the part Of the
Commissioners, or adverse opinions in the
Council Chamber. But on this subject we
have strong assurances from our Legislators
of both political parties, that there is the best
grounds for the belief, that the Commission
ers will promptly do what the law contem-
plates, report in favor of our surveyed road,
and that the Governor and Council will in
terpose no serious objections. In that case,
the stock books may be opened at once; and
we verify believe two-thirds, if not the whole
sum required $500, 000) 10 commence oper-
atoms, will be taken on the line between
Fitchburg and Burlington. That no obsta-
cles will be presented, it is argued that vast
majority of the people, as shown by the leg
islative votes, are now in favor of railroads
and as the grand difficulties are obyiate6 by
the General Act, making them State roads,
there is no possible motive for interposing
any unnecessary delay.
We understand il is now contemplated to
bring the Brattleboro road to Winchendon
village; if so, and it is decided to build the
Brattleboro road, we may expect this portion
OF the road will first be completed, leaving
only from 90 to % miles TO connect from
Keenc.-keene Sentinel.

FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT

The returns of tho third trial on Tues
day last show that Mr.. Dillingham; is cleo
ted, probably by majority OF the votes
We hoped for a different result
hoped for the $500 Wing votes which
were cast for Mr. Chandler in September,
and for the votes at least Of that portion
of the third party which formerly acted
with the Wings. These votes we be-
lieved would have elected Mr.. Chandler
now but alas, too many of them are miss
ing. On the other hand, Mr.. Dillingham;
received the support of nearly all of the
loco third party men in this section Of the
district-a consummation brought about,
we learn, by Roorback story that all the
wing abolitionists would vote for Mr..
Chandler. In one town, we are glad TO
say that the wing abolitionist, when they
discovered the trick which the loco foco
branch oftheir party playing them, voted
for Chandler. Generally, however,S we
suspect the wing abolitionists have been
duped by their loco brethren ; and they
may alUays ezpeet to be duped when oe-
casiOnS for it occur. Such lessons as this,
and that of Folks election by similar
means in New York, surely ought not to
pass unheeded- Wdtchmdn.

LATER FROM TEXAS.

We have received dates from Galveston to
the 2lst ult. Four vessels had arrived from
Bremen within few weeks, bringing 376
emigrauts. The papers contain the vailed
ctory address Of Gen. Houston, and the in
augural of the newly chosen President, Jones.
Gen. Houston speaks of the brilliant success
Of the government, and holds the following
language concerning Annexation -
1.-The attitude of Texas now, to my ap-
prehension, is one ofpeculiar interest. The
United States have spurned her twice al
ready. Let her, therefore maintain her po-
sition firmly, as it is, and work out her own
political salvation. Let her legislation pro-
coed upon the supposition that we are to be
and remain an independent people. lfTex-
as goes begging again for admission into the
United States, she will only degrade hci-
seH;-they will spurn her again from her
threshold and other nations will look on her
with unmingled pity; let Texas, therefore
maintain her position. If the United States
shall open the door, and csk her to come in
to her great family of States, you will then
have other conductors, better than myself, to
lead you into union with the beloved land
from which we have sprung-the land ofthe
broad stripes and bright stars. But lei US
be where we are until the opportunity is
presented, and let US go on, if at all, united
in one phalanI and sustained by the opinion
of the world.
If we remain an independent nation, our
territory will be extensive, unlimited. The
Pacific alone will bound the mighty march Of
our race and our empire. From Europe and
America her soil is 10 be peopled. In re-
gions where the savage and buffalo now
roam uncontrolled, the enterprise and in
dustry of the Anglo American are vet to find
an extensive field of Development. With
union, industry, and virtue, we have nothing
TO apprehend. Ii left alone, we have our
destiny in our own hands, and may become
a nation distinguished for its wealth and
power"
President Jones makes no alusion TO this
subject in bis inaugural, but recommends the
establishment of public schools, and the abo-
ltion of all paper money, whether issued by
banks, the government or individuals.
The Galveston Civilian of the 18th inst
says the question will soon be laid before the
people Of Texas in tangible and authentic
shape, whether they will take an acknOwl-
edgment of their independence from, Mexico,
coupled with the condition of declining an
nexation to the United States, or await the
chances of Union with this country.
The Picayune of the oath says that Hon.
A. J. Donelson, U. $. Charge in Texas, and
J. g. Meyer, bearer of dispatches to the
United States, had arrived in that city.

and argued that as the principles ,ber
avowed were different in different quar-.
tiers Of the country, no important ques-
ton, he contended, had been decided bv
that election.
He then took a review of the practices
by which that party had succeeded in
electing Mr.. Polk.-He exposed many Of
their frauds, and gave minute and en-
tertaining history of the Empire Clubn
in New York This body, he said was
an efficient association i'll the election and
some officers were notorious gam blers, bur
glers, sc.
He devoted nearly the whole Of his
speech to such topics, and whilst he af-
forded much amusement to the Wings he
caused the dominant parts uneasiness.
JANUARY 7.
In the Senate Mr.. Niles introduced res
olutions to annex Texas as State.
In the House the Texas question was
again up. Mr.. Yancey, of Ala, spoke in
favor of annexation. Some sharp words
from him called Mr.. Clingman of N. C. to
his feet, but MIR. Y. refused to listen to
any explanation there 1t is said that
note passed from Mr.. c. to Mr.. Y. by the
hands OF a Virginian.
Mr. Bayley, of Va, followed, and Mr.
Stetson of N. Y. concluded the debate
for the day, in opposition to the mode Of
annexation as proposed by the Resolu.
tions.
Mr.. Dromgoole mentioned that he had
framed the Bill in conformity with the act,for
the admission of the State Of Vermont into
the Union, in the year 1871.
This plan contemplated the settlement Of
all questions relative to the Territory Of Tex
as by treaty.
MIR. Burke moved to suspend the rals, TO
enable him 10 offer the resolutions Of New
Hampshire. synlpathising with Dorr snd ap-
proving his course, hut the motion was LOST,
The debate was resumed on the Annexa-
ton question, and Mr.. Smith, of Indiana,
made good speech against the project,
There is very htile 10 be said that is new
on the subject.
Some ol the friends of Annexation are de-
cidedly of opinion that nothing can be domain

Others have estimated that there are one
hundred and nineteen Democratic members
who are willing TO vote for Law admitting
Texas as State.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. Ist.
The new year opened upon US with a
bright sun and warm south wind, indica-
ting, probably, that the South is, as here
tofore, to control matters here during the
year 1916.
The Presidents leave was thronged to-
day by people of all parties. The stearn.
est and most uncomprising ofthe Wings
were there, and there, too, were the rad
icals, barn-burners, and all, and the mill
ion beside.
Mr.. Adams house was also crowded
with visitors during the hour, and the old
gentleman never appeared more cheerful
and happy.
Ilearn that Gen. Cass has agreed to
accept the Senatorship from Michigan,
which has been rendered to him. He
would have preferred, doubtless, place
in the Cabinet, and thathe may yet have.
As this is New-Year's it is proper
time for predictions.
Ipredict that President Tyler will have
a foreign mission,-probably to London,
under Mr. Pelk's administration
Ipredict that Mr.. Calhoun, and Mr..
Clay, as we'll as Mr.. Webster, will come
back to the Senate.
Ipredict that Andrew Stevenson, OF
Va, will be the Secretary of State after
the Sd of NJ arch next
Ipredict that the House, at the session,
will pass some bill or joint resolution for
the annexation of Texas, and that the
Senate will reject it.
l predict that thercupon, Mr.. Polk
will Immediately after his inauguration,
issue proclamation for an extra session
of Congress to Garry the annexation pro-
ject into effect.
l predict that, if Texas be not annexed
in 1915, she never will be.

THE FANATICISM OF SLAVERY.

becou, our turn 10 meet like effort to tam
per with the slave interest. With all their

may visit Alabama on the same business, that

GEHrLEMEN:-Your esteemed favor OF the
10Th inst, enclosing copy Of the resolutions
sdo pied at meeting of the Wings OF New

perienced. Right is not always triumphant,
and disaster is often profitable school for
its advocates. And while your ardent efforts
to render deserved tribute of national graf
itude to MIR. Clay have failed Of success, yet
there remains to him the rich testimonials OF
the warm esteem admiration and gratitude
