snow that have sheep and COW, every bids me
good morrow Fyanklin.
How true is this ancient maxim Of the philos-
opherl When prosperity and success crowns an
enterprise, how many, who before were either luke
warm opposed, fall in, and unite with the crowd
See the toast of the Hon. r. C. Winthrop, and his
speech at Faneuil Hall, Boston, on the 4th of July,
who, after opposing the measure, now s'cannot re-
frain from welcoming home another sister in the
sonfederacy."
Read the toast of distinguished wing in Vir-
ginia, at Martinsburg, on the 4th Of July:
by Charles j. Fauikn.TExas: the light Of her extin
guished star will reappear with increased stre within the
circle oour eugent constellation and henceforth the
glories OF Yorktown and San Jacnto will be the
Inheritance Of one free and united people"
We may soon expect to nee the rejocings of the
embodiment of whgery" from every quarter, and
many will be ashamed that they ever opposed it. Our
friend Col. Barrnger, after voting with John Quin-
cy Adams and others against Texas, in Congress,
Barringer! Could his vote have prevented, Texas
would be allowed to inscribe her lone star on
the star-spanged banner of the Union. Let the peo-
pie see and know this, and then they will know who
are their true friends.
To no one in the whole republic Is greater credit
for this great measure due, than to the prcsrn, 500
rotary Of the Treasury, the Hon. Robert ]. Walker.
As soon az the clouds Of war from the bloody fields
Of San Jacnto had cleared the horizon for the lone
STAR" under his protecting wing it took shelter;
ny HIS uCtVitys IL Increased,
until il now shines star Of the first magnitude in
our political armament. Seldom has any effort,
however strongly commenced, been crowned with
such brilliant success With all the irmness and
tact Of the "Keystone State" Mr.. Walker unites
the fire and talent of the South. And is not the sue
cess Of his favorite project type Of his own future
career From young man unknown to fame, he
enters Congress. We see him rising daily in pub.
lie estimation; in debate, contending with the mas
ter spirits Of the opposition and defeating them by
his reason and his eloquence, until he leaves them
far behind in his career Of honor and usefulness
No part of the Union appreciates more than North
Carolina the merits of such a man. The happy
hand Of faction would dim the laurels of this distn-
guished citizen, by incorporating his conduct in
relation to the commission sent to him by the gov
ernor of Mississippi, in relation to his in
the Senate. His letter is published in this paper
which completely overthrows the caumny, and
shows that Mr. Walker acted as he should. The
commission was only to take effect on a certain
contingency, election Of printer and by certain
day, Doth Of March.) The contingency never
happened; and the Senate, but for the act of Prov
dence, death Of Senator,) would have adjourned
before the day arrived; and before it arrived, Mr.
Thompson had left Washington. Those who be-
fore blamed Mr.. Walker have since honorably re
tracted their opinions; and he will gain laurels
in an Office filled once by Hamilton, a Gallatin,
Crawford, McLane, and Woodbury..
