The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-06-12
From correspondent, in New York;

New YonK, June 7, l645.
Every day brings renewed evidence of the fact
that all interests, all parties, and all associations
cliques and combinations, are ready to unite rs one
man, and act together In harmonious brotherhood
for the common defence Of our country and her no
BILE institutions, against open OF secret foes,
from what quarter they will. The impairment in
reference of Messrs. Elliott and Sagny, the Eng
lish and French agents in Texas, Sanctioned
there is too much reason to suspect by the govern
ments of those two powerful European nations, with
the question of annexation has awakened such d
feeling of Indignation, may say resentment, against
both agents and principals, in the public mind, and
expressed through the press Of all parties that it
overcomes all other sentiments, and causes such a
blending Of the heretofore discordant materials as
has never yet been known in our country. Go
among any class of our citizens--the merchants
the mechanics-mingle with the wealthy operators
on change, enter the saloons of retired BUSH
ness men, and the same feelings are expressed, the
same sentiments ayowed, of naughty Indignation at
the interference of any nation on the face of the
globe with our own American affairs. A we'll writ
ten article appears in the Courier and Enquirer Of
this morning, the leading wing paper Of the State,
and the organ of the whig merchants of our city, full
Of patriotic sentiments in reference to foreign inter-
ference with affairs; and showing the effect such
interference has had of reconciling those who were
originally opposed to annexation, to that great meas
Such is the feeling here; and all Europe com.
blned could not now prevent the much desired union
of the two countries What then will be the feelings
of these English and French popnay agents, or
of their masters at home, when they read General
Houston's speech, delivered at New Orleans on the
28th ult. The old General, it would appear, finding
those two high functionaries little "so" (or as 1t
is usually expressed "verdant,n) actually went to
work, aided probably by President Jones, to stuff
them with ant-annex Ration notions, sending them up
and down the country fools errands, causing them
to write to their respective governments that "they
were about defeating annexation" and receiving
therefrom further Instructions the subject Now to
be told they were humbugged, played with, virtual
ly "stuedn and made game of, is cruel in the last
degree. Meddlers are always rewarded.
The school question in our city, referred 10 in
mine of the ID, resulted, as | prophesed, in the
complete success of the democratic ticket. The
hypocritical cant of wings and natives" about the
Bible being refused admission into the schools,
made little or no impression upon intelligent minds.
Ii appears that we are 10 have new collector at
this port. IfMr. Van Meas has resigned, as is in
timated, few men would give greater satisfaction to
our community than c. w. Lawrence, who is re-
ported as his successor.
An animated discussion is now going on in our
party prints in reference to the convention which is
to assemble TO amend our constitution. The wings
appear TO be Joining the abolltionsts IN advocating
the policy Of placing the negroes on par with the
whites IN regard to voting.
Gen Robert Armstrong, consul to Liverpool, is
at the Astor House, with hs family, and will en-
bark in the Great Western for Europe on the 18th
instant.
The places for summer amusements, such as Gas
tie Garden, "Niblos,n &C., have all been reftted in
luxurious splendor, and are nightly filled with the
fashion of the city. Castle Garden 10 now entirely
enclosed, forming one of the most magnificent ro-
fundas in the world Ii is most gorgeously decora-
ted and its size can be judged of when state that
sir thousand people can be comfortably seated with
in its walls.
Little or no improvements in stocks
