AND BALTIMORE CLIPPER.
FRIDAY MORNING, Der. 81, Ia45.

LlE SOhlcc. 81 an artlCle WHEN mas Oeen CAtcn-
sivoly circulated, in which ii is said, that Mr.
Clay attributes the loss of the electoral vote of
New York 10 the Native American party
We donb: whether MIR. Clay ever expressed
any such opinion; but even if he did, our cor
respondent demonstrates that il is erroneous. 1t
is Il mistaken idea that none hut members Of
tho old Wing party have become attached to
the Native American palty; for it is notorious,
tha. Democrats were the originators Of the par
ty, ard that they still adhere to its principles.
Gu: correspondent rightly attributes the defeat
% M Clay in New York TO the Abolition
party.
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. The successful eI-
pcrmcnls made by Professor Morse in cross
ing rivers with the Magnetic Telegraph with
on. tho extension of wirca through the water,
we supposed, would have rendered it unneces-
sary 10 resor! TO the expedicnt adopted in cross
ins tho Eas: River in New York, viz: passing
tho wires If the Telegraph through the lcaden
piye5 sunk at the bottom Of the river. This
cxpedien. would answer where there was no
danger Of having the pipes dcstroyed-but it
il seen, that the pipes have been broken by the
anchor Of a vessel in the East River, and
hence, that the experiment mast fail We be-
hCyc that i: would DC possible 10 pass that and
all ohor rivers with the Telegraph in the mode
adopted by Professor Morse, viz: by placing
the ends of the wires in the water on each
side Of the river, taking care to have them a
sufi;ien! distance apart If the communica-
ton between Baltimore and Washington can
DO made through the earth, we can see no rea-
son why il cannot be done from shore to shore
of a river.
CuGAP LANDS. Charles Fenton Mercer, esq,
publishes in tho National Intelhgencer, an in
v.asioD Oh behalf of the Texas Association, to
all persons who may be disposed to become set
tiers in Texas. The offers to such settlers are
exceedingly liberal, being three hundred and
twenty acres of land for eight dollars, to any
family who may settle thereon, from any part
of the United States or Europe, by the first day
of July, 1876; after which time but two hun
bred acres will be given to each family. The
notice Says
~ title to the land may be obtained at any
time alter settlement from the Texan Govern
meai, on condition of building on it comfort
able cabin, and enclosing and cultivating not
less than fifteen acres for three years. A fall
orc TO comply with these conditions will occa-
sior, forfeiture of the title of the emigrant to
the government. A family is required to con-
sssi of not less than man and his wife; Wi
dover OF widow with two children, or of two
single men, each above seventeen years ofage. "
Here Is fine chance for new beginners As
Texas may now be considered as part of the
United States, we have no doubt that many
persons, both from this country and Europe,
will seize the opportunity of securing good
farm for SO small price. Emigration to Tex
as will be conducted on large scale from Ger
many, if the following information contained in
the Bremsn Gazette be correct
"rhe Government of Hesse Cassel has been
requested to favor emigration to that part Of
Texas which belongs by purchase to the Rhe-
nish company, which includes several German
sovereisns, especially the Dukes of Nassau and
Saxo hlenengsn. 1t was proposed TO the pro.
per authority to recommend the settlement OF
Texas, and tho recommendation has not been
witbou, success. In the present month (July)
a gYoa. number Of Hessians commenced their
toInoy from the city of Cassel and its vicinity.
Various persons skilled in the arts, and not
wi.hou. property, have joined them; and, since
the annexation of Texas to the United States,
the number Of those who desire to emigrato has
increased.
I'D ba Vyieipity pf A To-
Fourd, more than 400, and in the neighborhood
of Paino more than 200 Hanoverians are pre-
pairing to 90, in the months of August and Sep
tember"
The rapid increase of population in Texas
muss render the public lands more valuable,
and it Ne therefore probable, that the quantity
now allotted to emgrants is larger than will
be oelalned in a few years.
IN probably less than twenty years Texas
will no densely porulated-provided, that our
government shall so long foTbear to annex Mex
leo, which we doubt. A messenger, it is said,
is about to be sent to that country with per-
emp.ory demand for the payment of the in
demDitics due to this country. This demand
IL very proper, as our government has assumed
10 pay these indemnties to our citizens. But
we doubt whether Mexico will or can, under
present circumstances, comply with the de-
nand-and what may be the result of her re-
fseal i. is difficult to decide. In the present
tone of pu3lic feeling in the United States, it
seens evident, that it will be dangerous for
Mexico to tilie with our government. There
is an evident increase OF war feeling in the
United States; and, although France has init
mated that We must respect existing govern
nen.s on this continent, and England swatch
ing our movements with jealously-it is not
likely that our government will gary its pur-
