isieres.
We aid what VIC sincerely believed was true,
that the absurd results Of the late Convention at
Abingdon-results which have put the u. States
North of Mason and Dixon's line in litter, and
sstonished the whole Union-were brought about
in q great degree, by the combined and iorm'da.
BILE, If no, in Little Tennessee, rrcsisfibie infiu-
ence OF Tavern keepers, who wish to retain their
cu.tom-of rdgon drivers, who wish TO retain
their mouopolies-and Of Stallion keepers, who
wish uiIl to exhibit the prowess Of their steeds
On their accustomed stands
We hear that a large portion Of the upper part
oGvirginia is exceedingly struck with the truth
and force Of the statement, rs well as amused al
the new economical and political influence alluded
% - the third and most powerful But was
sny secret to them that there was and is, such an
influence known to the political history OF this
Commonwealth, and that il has before now, achie''
cd vast Jacksonian and Democratic results!
A friend and occasional correspondent from Lit
fle Tennessee, writes us:
"Your ridicule and your arguments are all right
upon this subject, and hope you will continue TO
pour hot shot upon this miserable wagon stand
scheme, until you have broken it down etfectual-
ly."
Our influence we arc well aware. and we would
not have the presumption to imagine differently
would tell most Intellectually against the oVersha-
downing combination alluded to, in the particular
country where it has just won so marked v'cto-
~: But, we are much inclined TO think that the
&. West Turnpike will find no favor in the Legs-
iature, save only from that country itself that it is
already numbered among the wishes that the Gods
will not allow to be granted, in commiseration to
those who make them-and that it needs none of
our objurgatiou to consignit to the tomb already
dug for it.
Another correspondent has furnished us with
some striking instances Of the potency of the m
fuence we have alluded to, over men Of talents
but we refrain from publishing them.

UNANIMITY OF THE TExrAN CoxvEN.
TIoN.-lt will be perceived that there was
but one dissenting voice to the final con.
summation of annexalion on The part ofTex-
as. This shows the deph of feeling and
petvading earnesness among the people of
that Republic. The in,rigues of EnnIap Il
and France and the over,ures of Mexi,o
were nobly spuned, for the sake of upi,ino
with our confede,acy. This is the hes, ey,

LATER FROM MExICo.-Daes from th,
city ofMcxico up TO the 2Slh June havebceI
received at New O.leans. The Pcayun,
says
Verbally I'VE learn that the Mexican Gov
eminent was to send 10000 men immedi-
ately to the frontier Of Texas. Where
these men were to be raised is poser of H.
self, but where the means to procure mon
ely enough cven-to start them on such q
fools errand is even a greater mystery, IN
less British gold is ut the bottom.
Not word is said in the pnpers Of til,
capital about a war with the United Safes.
Some ofihe secret sessions of The Senate
may have been occupied with the subject,
but nothing is divulged.
On the ooh of June a decree of Gen.
Herrera was promulgated, but dated the
10Th, in which he formally calls an extra
session OF Congress, 10 convene on the-th
inst, for the purpose of taking into consd-
eration-lsi. Constitutional Reforms: ID, a
revision Of the acts of ihe Provisional Gov
eminent ; and, 81, subjects now pending
the action ofthe Chambers, especially those
Of the United States and Texas.
This indicates clearly enough that Mex
leo has not yet determined what line ofpol
icy TO pursue towards us. The country is
so distracted by divisions amongs, its lead
ing politicians and military men, that the
Government is unable TO concentrate pub
lie opinion upon any fixed plan of opera
tons. The people clamor FOR war and the
integrity of the sol! of the republic; whilst
the leaders, or most ofthem, are looking af-
Ter their personal ACCOMPLISHMENT.

We don't know the extent OF hardihood
