The Official government paper, remarking upon
a synopsis, copied into this paper from the New
York Express, of the revelations which it has made
of the Presidents purposes in regard to Texas,
says that it msstates the propositions that were
made 10 Texas. There is nothing in them like
the irst-that is to say, Major Doneson never did
propose to Texas to assume her debts and take
her lands;' but his proposition was to pay her so
much money for her lands as should be agreed
upon, and for her to pay her debts, if she pleased
: to appropriate it in that way" We give the Ad-
ministration the benefit of this explanation, though
do not that it changes the aspect Of the sin
gle proposition to which the government paper re-
fers except that, if we are really to let the new
State of Texas do whai she pleases with the money
she gets for the land, it is by certain that
with the examples Of some other States before her,
she will pay her debts with it, and the United States
may be placed in the predicament, after paying
Texas for her unappropriaed lands, to pay her debt
in addition. tf

POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

Whetner II VIII be In the power OF tne E4ecuuFc
to command, in both Houses of Congress, majorties
to enable it to break up the Protective System, is
problem to be solved at the next Session. We be-
lieve that it will fail in the effort if for no other
reason than that direct taxation must be the inevi-
table consequence of its success. That the effort
will be made, however, daily indications leave us no
reason to doubt A day or two ago only, was pub
lished in the official paper in this city the formal
account of the proceedings Of democratic Dis
trict Convention held in Alabama, whose leading
resolution the basis of the whole Of all the rest,
was in the following words:
RESOLVED, That zoe look upon the Tariff issue
as the main and aA-important question Of all Of
our domestic policy pending before the people:
That we look to the 29th Congress 1.-THE first that
will assemble under the new ADMINISTRATOR for
8 an early adjustment of this much vexed question,
upon fair principles: That the resolutions
: OF the Baltimore Convention Of 1910 and 1914,
and the messages and speeches of our Chief Ma
gistrate, JAMES X. Polk, while Governor and a
+ candidate for Governor in Tennessee contain clear
and mequivocal revenue standards, by which that
adjustment can be effected: That the Tariff issue
UaS made prominent the tte PRESIDENTIAL can
Uass and that, whatevermay be the peculiar views
of small section of the Democracy of the Union,
n zoe arc PteuScus 10 u PUJty, 20 PfHtCPsco cfecD
I are al aoar aoith the Tariff Of 1872"
This surely is plain enough But our attention
has been recalled to it, and we have been INDUCED
to copy it for the information Of readers, by the
appearance at this moment of significant endorse
ment Of its declarations by the Richmond Enqui-.
rer. In that paper we find copied from the Knox
vile STANDARD y brief editorial article the pith
Of which is contained in the following paragraph:
"The protection giDen to the manufacturing IN
feresf which has resulted in seriously injuring the
I Southern planters, MUST BE ABANDONED. The
revenue standard, and to no man more than JAMES
r. Polk will the opponents of the present Tariff
+ be more indebted for the successful accomplish
ment Of an object so desirable"
Upon this article the Editors of the Enquirer re-
mark as follows:
We doubt not that it exactly represents the
character Of Mr.. Polk, and that time ViH demon
strate the accuracy Of the sketch In justice to
/. his own consistency, to his long-avowed prnci-
i pies, and to his solemn pledges, Mr.. Polk can do
nothing else than propose reduction Of the Tariff
to more reasonable standard
After these explicit declarations, through the
g Union" and the G Richmond Enquirer which
we suppose we may without mistake represent az
the leading opponents of the views Of the Admins
traon, no reasonable doubt can, we think, res
upon the intentions Of the Executive in regard to
the Tariff question.
