nFGen. SAM. HUsToN addressed large
audience at New Orleans on the 2Sth ult. on
the past history and present position of
Texas. He declared that he had always been
in favor Of Annexation, but that after the prof
ers which Texas made to the United States
and the treatment she received from our Gov
eminent, policy dictated reserved course,
and he thought little innocent trickery would
benefit the cause and help oD the measure to
final settlement. He had often heard that
when lover had been kept in obeyancc by
his mistress for some time, unable to obtain a
Yes or No, some sudden holding Of or vio-
lent praise of a neig hbor beauty would scarce
ly fail to elicit an answer. Prompted by this
idea, its efficacy was Immediately put to the
test. Friendly intercourse was couried with
other powers, and, aware of the mutual jeal-
ousy existing between our country and that
of Eng land, her hand was first solicited as Il
partner in the dance, which she readily grant
ed ; but familiarity were never such in the
eallopade as to unglove with her. The bait
was taken: and she who always dearly loved
us, sinking affected reserve, made direct
proposal.
Ii TO have voted for Annexation-to have
negotiated for ito have courted it-and TO
have even coqueued for it be opposition, then
he supposed he was what he has sometimes
been termed on that head.
President Jones was IN FAVOR ofthe meas
ure and would do every thing in his power to
satisfy the wishes Of the people.
In conclusion, he assured the assembly that
if Uncle Sam did take Texas it would be
marrying into good family.

PROSPECTS OF ANNEXATION.
The citizens of American origin, who are
interested in lands and slaves. are unanimous
" in favor of annexation. And the present
Congress, in which every county has at leave
one member, and in which some counties
having not more than 10 or 20, and other
40 or 30 votes, are represented, and where,
consequently, the interior counties and land
cd interest have preponderating influence
over the commercial towns and counties, and
has large majority in favor of annexation.
And if the resolution Of Mr.. Brown be pro-
posed by our government and honestly sub
United BY the Texan Executive TO their Con
gress, that body would Immediately accede
TO the measure or call convention, in which
the members would be appointed in the same
ratio as they are in Congress, which conven-
lion would adopt the measure.
On the contrary, every citizen pi European
origin appears to be opposed to annexation,
particularly the more recent emlsrantS this
is the class of citizens now flowing into the
country, while the American population IS
diminishing. The European emigrants, with
the aid Of the towns and the paIiisans OF the
Executive, form party which very nearly
equals in the number OF voters, though they
cannot elect as many representatives under
the rotten borough system, as the advocates
of annexation. This will explain TO yon the
difference in the views of the Executive and
Congress on the subject; the President is E.
lected by majority of all the voters Of The
couutry;-CongreSS is chosen by the counties.
the measure of annexation cannot be de-
layed or starved of for one or two years, the
influx OF European emigrants will change
the votes ofseveral of The Western counties
now controlled by the American party, and a
majority will be secure in Congress against
the measure 1.-THE subject be submitted 10
negotiation by commissioners, the Texan Ex-
ecutlve will procrastinate and evade, TILL they
have secured majority OF the European par
ty. and then their Congress will reject any
terms Enumeration that may be offered them
by the United States. The consequence will
be that the AngIo-American population will
abandon the country, and it will become an
European Province, or an independent nation
ofGermans aud Frenchmen;- in which sla-
very will be abolished, and it will fall under
the rule of Prince de SOmms, or some other
OF the srrigs Of German nobility, who are
now so busily engaged in introducing their
countrymen.
The success of the measure therefore now
depends onthe choice made by our Executive
IN the mode oil eiiectng it. The present
Texan Executive would not dare delay sinh.
hitting the resolutions to Congress which ac-
cede to the overture. But if negotiation bv
commission be proposed, the Texan Exec
ntive will have the game in his own hands
and will be sure to defeat the measure.

MODERN DEMocRAcY-We have told the
people, again and again, that Loco Foco
measures were in direct opposition to the
rights of LABOR. and the great interest of the
country. II they were carried out, the nation
would be beggared, and the people would cry
for bread.
Mr.. GEO. McDUFFIE, distinguished Loco
Foco Senator from South Carolina, wrote a
letter to the British Free Traders, which has,
at the least the merit of candvr. fla Wing
had uttered such a sentiment, in favor of for
egn, rather Than an American city. the De-
mocracy would have been indignant. and
roared thunder from the ST. John 10 the Sa-
bine. Here it is.
"As representative Of the great exporting
interest ofthese States, habitually look upon
the prosperity of Manchester lCith as much
interest and qualification as do upon that Of
Charleston or Neo0 York. and MUCH MORE
than do upon that Of Boston, ,rhich lam con-
strained to regard as the fruits Of on unjust
and oppressive system of iegdiized plumber,
,cllich cOnEScates at least one th Of lte annual
income of the cotton planters to sustain a mer-
ccnary, moneyed aristccracy ofPamPered and

The Salem Gazette well says The Locos
used to have great deal to say about British
Wings, British Gold and all that sort Of non
sense, which had just about as much mean

which occurs this beautiful illustration Of
Democratic patriotism aud brolherly kind
ness, as manifested by the Southern wing of
Loco Focoism.

The DRoUTH.-The dry weather cOnlin-

unparalleled severity at this season of the
year. Corps are badly injured, and the farm

the Lake to the River the soil is parched, and
the Portsmouth Tribune of the 22d inst. says
the prospectfor crops in that region is decided
ly gloomy. The frost and Dire have con-
bined TO destroy the wheat. The grass fares
equally bad. The corn cannot reach half the
usual crop, unless frequent showers should
prevail the remainder Of the season."

THE PLACE TO DIE.
The loveliest place of foreign lands
Is not the spot to die,
For can its gales e'er wait the soul
Safe upward TO the sky?
Although its scenes be fair and bright
With every radiant hue,
And every beauty fingers there
To tempt me TO the view;
Yet all those charms TO me were vain,
For friends were far away,
The air, the light, yea all were strange
Near which to blend with clay.
So lonely there the wanderers way,
And sad his dying bed,
'Twere agony and deepest woe
To mingle with the dead.
For glowing thoughts of cherished ones
Across my breast would steal,
And early childhood's peaceful home
Its joys afresh reveal.
Nor would the deserts boundless sands
Fer safe receive the dead:
Oh, who on that lone spot would wish
To-Day his aching headl
Nor would it be the place to die
On Oceans restless wave,
'Twould rack the brain and faint the heart
To find cen there grave.
But, OH it would be sweet to die
Within our own bright glen,
Within the sound of Sabbath bell,
And spring to life again.
And none but friends should gather near
To close my fading eyes,
And view my conquest over death,
Ny passage TO the skies.
