Our neighbor ntimates that he was frightened out of his hopes for the passage of the annexation meas ure through the Senate, by the efforts of ihe New York politicians and press to defeat it. How much more terrible two or three ddmocrats him than whole army of wings! Why every northern whig ed by Adams, and supported by such papers as the Tribune, the lnielligencer and even the Richmond Whig, they are deuouncing annexation as dissolu- ton of the Union, and declaring that they will split the government if any such measure for the support of the South and slavery is consummated. Our neighbor stands all tbis-sees his southern whig Congressmen quietly following in the wake and sanc- tioning all their violent fanalicism in opposition to the measure-and finds nothing among his ,Dhig brethren to complain of. But let few democrats of New-Y ork desert the South, as all these wings have done in body, and he immediately loses hope ef the of the measure, which he like the leader of his party, "as an individua,' is in favor off, [Vicksburg Sentinel.

The Post Office bill of the Senate, which it .vas feared might be lost for want of time in the House was taken up Monday, (24th) in committee of the whole. and all efforts to lay it the table or to post pone ii, were defeated by large majorites. reso- lutIon to close be debate in hours, was adopted and all the signs tbst the bill would pass the next morning. as it came from l,e Senate.
 The opposition is violent and little unreason able. A great stress s laid upon the cant phrsse, which sounds more like the spleen of discontented politicians than sedaie legislators, that it is a "New-York" measure. Some men seem to think that every thing winch crosses their wishes must come from Nsw-York, because there are men in New-York whom they are very eager to cross.

The Senate of Ohio has lately passed bill remo- wing every disability which has heretofore existed to debar free negroes the privileges and immunties of white persons. As will be observed from the follow ing from the Cincinnati Enquirer every vote in favor of the measure like the members of the late dsunon abolition meeting in Boston, was d Whig vote.
 Now, then, the inquiry will arise, by what infuen- ces, and to what end has this measure been carried through the Senate How is it, and why is it, that and privilege of swearing away the property, the lib why is that this ignorant degraded ani VICIOUS pop uation are 10 be invited and induced to toray upon and inlest the State :! And the first fact that pre- sens itself in reply, is of tremendous force and consequence. Epery vote n fapor of the measure IS the sote of q Wing Senator It was, in effect, a party pote for but two three Wings stood up in opposition 10 the bi while like number were cas- ualy or by collision, absent from hcir places of du- ty and responsibility Here IS law that has been upen our statue book since lS07-the party that have now gone to work to repeal it, have frequently been in power before, but have lett il untouched - Was it, then, condition of the support they derived from the Abolition faction in hoistng them into pow CT now or is the first fruits of coalition with that faction, to ihe end of securing continued power through the addition of it's strength
 We feel certain that there are thousands of Wings in Ohio who are not prepared for ths reversal of a long settled policy, making the State iavorie relu gee haunt for colored person, and completely over running and niesting the citizens To them, in all candor, we commend the subject-let them see to il. -tNatchez Free Trader.

 VIII -Memors of Aaron Bur.-Hon B. F. Por- ter, Tuscalo labama
 Two of these articles are from the pens of citizens our State, and one, the third in order, from one of our townsmen It we'll sustans his reputation for in- telectuai ability.
 The other, by MT. Porter, of Tusca oosa, is an ef ort to clear away some of the prejudces which hang over the name of Burr, and associate it in the mind. of this generation with political and moral turpitude. There can be no doubt that much injustice was done to Burr in his day, by exaggeratng his real defects and attributng tp him designs and vices of which he was innocent. He a political leader at one time dividing with Jefferson the confidence of inc re- publican party; and whether for sufficient cause or not, that party discarded and prescribed him. A man in that position has little chance to have his motives his acts appreciated in spirit of kind ness. Too many who had been suddenly converted from friends into enemies, interested in pro- tecting themselves by making his faults conspicuous, and proving him to be incapable of do,ng well. His temper, too, so delying he treated his enemies with much scorn, and his of lie was such, to give eo1nenance to the imputaions of his want of social morals, and to deprive him of the adyan- tage of the support of public confidence in his person. al virtues. Hence, It is unquestionabIy true, that he has been judged harshly and sterny condemned beyond even his demers. It IS easy therefore, with prudent brevity m sketchng the facts of his life and career, to make out for Burr plausible case of per- secuton and wrong, and much of it will be true.--~ But purged most carefully of every thing unjust or doubtful in evidence, enough will remain to show that bs character radically defective in the high- moral attributes and that though a great, bril- liant and brave man, he was essentially bad man. Judge Porter has made fair case for Burr, but it would not be difficult to shew that something of its favorable aspect is owing to partial cooring which his brief narrative gives to the events of Burr's life Some of his facts not dowB jn history with. out dispute.
