American slaventerests have been successful
sorry to say with the French press The King of
French and M Guizo who both pretend to principles Of
defenders Constitutional King and Liberal Minister
to be surrounded and protected by troop
Mr.. Calhouns letter to Mr. King fail to attract
particular attention in the French capital 1t cannot be
considered diplomatic despatch for the instruction Of
Mr. King The latter personsge could have as well ap-
Mr. Calhoun But the fact is, the Secretary Of the
United States had written sequel to General Casss
phle to the Parsans and he gives this to the
world in the shape of diplomatic letter his envoy
Paris.
A meaner or more disgracefui document never came
from the pen of statesmen But at least has the merit
Of being frank and it puts the question OF Texas the
one plain, avowed ground Of slavery slavery The
provocaton sympathy for American emgrants the utl
ty or glory OF territorial aggrandizement No. The
gument Of Mr. Calhoun that region, without sleeves
or forhddng slavery, on the southern frontier = le
United States cannot exist for either it must
and Danish slavery even from the States be
just good 10; conauerng Mexico as for snnssins Tex
as declares, Loudly and boldly that slavery must
nue and must pervade the whole south Of North Ameri
ca and why not the whole Of South America too There
s end to Mr.. Cahouns annexation lit must embrace
the world and dictate to it,
We not sorry to have this lease of prosavery,
broadly stated and drawn up by leading American
statesman, laid before the French public certainly
up But let the FRENCH udse We mot think
that they would consent combat England by
vile the extension Of slavery The French do not
want other arms, the manliness to them If the
two nations to continue rivalry and dispute fields are
not wanting independent Of the great questions OF
dom and humanity These ought be held sacred even
by beligerents.

In spite of the prolixty Of the message Of the President
Of the United States that document conveys very i'm.

Mr. shannon, at Mexico directing him to remonstrste
against the renewal Of hostilities in stronger language
than had been used before.
There can be bat one object (sad he In renewing the
