OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

We are not aware that we can do ANYTHING
better for the cause of Annexation, than TO
spread before our readers the opinions of the
Press, as they come to US in our numerous ex-
change papers, from all quarters of the Union
But we shall be under the necessity of ex-
tracing merely the gist of the articles as they
come before US, for the space Of no single news
paper would suffice to contain them in full.
The Burlington (Vt.) Sentinel and Democrat says
Most of the hostility the anne alton of Texas we
think may be traced to the influence of federal prin
ciples. Federalism abhors popular government Its
policy is TO concentrate power and wealth Il -four.
i,hes best in cities and in crowded population,
where poverty is sabservient to wealth. and where
the few control the many. Hence the federaists
have always been hostile to the admission OF n. "
States into the Union One Of the principal objects
of the Hartford Convention was to procure re,tric-
tons upon their admission. The fcderalists would
have excluded them altogether or imposed such
terms would have rendered them mere irbutar,
provinces. For as the abundance and cheapness of
land, and the fruitfulnes, OF the soil rendered the
people in great measure independent il was Judged
and Judged rightly, that federalism could not flourish
there, aud that their influence would be democratic
1t is well known, too, what clsmor was raised by
the same party against the purchase Of Louisiana by
jefferson The annexation Of Texas comes I'D un.
der the same aspect. BY annexing it, we should 81,
tend our free institutions valuable territory
and hardy, independent agricultural people, who
would naturally be opposed to federal sristocraoy,
and in favor Of democracy and political equality

FREE TRADE IN TEXAS.

BY the following extract from the Message
of President Jones TO the Congress OF Texas,
IL will be seen that our Northern Federslists, in
the event Of the failure OF Annexation, will not
gain much of triumph over the South. II
our cotton planters are TO be injured by rival
producers 10 Texas, also will our manuiac-
turers be injured by rival capitalists in England.
Our manufacturers must get the raw material
from our planters, while the planters will pur-
chase their goods from the vender who may
offer the best terms. IL will be impossible 10
prevent smuggling to an enormous extent
Extract from the Message
But cannot, al The time, refrain from direct
log your attention towards the severe hardship. to
which our planting interests are exposed by the in
ordinate dut e. imposed by foreign counties our
cotton, DOR only staple export Of present particular
importance and 10 suggest TO your special conidera-
ton, the passage of such laws shall mitigate the
operation of our tariff on imponalions from such
manufacturing countries shall agree 10 relieve our
cotton partially entirely from the duties now i'm
posed upon H.
No country on the face Of the earth possesses so
distinctly do the ability to enter upon that poll.
cy If mutual free trade, which should become more
end more every day the great object and aim Of al
eniiK htened government. Let us begin then by
inniting its operation TO such countries as may have
tis wisdom and the justice to extend To our own
great staples an exemption from that burden which
now bears with such severity upon our planting and
landed interests.

SANTA ANNA.

We SAID Yesterday that Santa Anna was the
skulking runaway of San Jacnto. We prove
il to-day, (to do which is almost superhuous, }
by the following extract from Blackwood's Mag
azine, for January, 1874. A British authority
would hardly make the case really worse for
Santa Anna Than it was:
We were interrupted at this moment by messen-
ger from General Houston, to whom we Immediate
ly FASTENED. All was uproar and confusion. Santa
Anna could not be found among the prisoners.
This was a terrible disappointment, for the cap
ture of the Mexican President had been our prnci-
pal object and the victory we had gained was com.
paratively unimporlant If he escaped Indeed, the
hope Of putting an end TO the war by his capture,
had, more than any thing, encouraged and stmula
ted US to the unequal conflict.
The moment a very critical one. Among our
mon thirty forty most desperate char
acters, who began handling their knives and casting
looks the prisoners, the meaning of which 1t was
impossible to mistake. Selecting some Of our trus-
test men, we stationed Them as guard over the
captves, and having thus assured the safety Of the
latter began questioning them as to what had become
of their general.
They had none of them seen Santa Anna since the
commencement of the fight, and it clear that he
must have made his escape while we were getting
over the breastwork. He could not now be very far
off and we at once took measures to find him. A
hundred men were sent off with the prisoners 10
Harrisburg, and hundred others, capitally mounted
on horses found in the Mexican camp, started TO
scour the country in search Of the fugitive chief.
accompanied the latter detachment .......
We had been twelve hours in the saddles, and had
ridden nearly hundred miles of ground. We be-
gan to despair of finding the game were in quest
of and were thinking of abandoning the chase, when
at distance Of about seven miles from the camp
one Of our most experienced hunters discovered the
print Of small and delicate boot upon some soft
ground leading to marsh. Following this trail, II
at last led us to man sunk up TO his aist in the
swamp, and covered with mud and filth to be
quite unacceptable. Wedrew him from his hiding
place half dead with cold and terror, and having
washed the dirt from his face, we found him to be
man of about forty years of age, with blue eyes, OF
a mild but crafty expression; narrow, high fore
head long thin nose, rather feshy at tip, projecting
upperIy and long chin These features tailed too
exactly with the description had had Of the Mex.
lean President for us to doubt that prisoner was
Santa Anna himself.
The only thing that at all tended to shake this
conviction, the extraordinary polroonery of our
captive. He threw himself on his knees and
begged US, in the Of God and all the Saints, to
spare his life. Our reiterated and prom
ises were insufficient to convince him of his being in
perfect safety, ty induce him to adopt demeanor
more consistent with his dignity and high station.
