PoLTTICAL REyELATIoNs.-The organ of the Go
vernment at Washington fayors the world with
glimpse of Mr. PoLK's message To the next Con-
gress, as now in embryo II seems from the reve-
latons there that Mr.. Polk is to recommend that
Congress assume the debts Of Texas and take
the lands or that
Congress take the lands in trust and pay the debts
as far as her lands will go.
Mr.. DoNELsoN, too, learn from the same
source, acted in the promises he made TO Texas up
on general instructions, which the President will
carry out so far as he can, by urging their ulment
upon Congress.
This proposed assumption of the debts of Texas
must open in Congress the assumption of the debts
of other States; and it may lead to the success of
Cost Johnson's proposition for a general assump-
ton of State debts 1t is pretty certain that " the
democracy" of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Mis-
sissippi will not readily agree TO pay off the debts
of the democracy" of Texas, unless there is to be
some reciprocity.
II will be urged however that the Texas debt is
peculiar debt, and, indeed that there will be no
assumption" if the United States takes her lands
to discharge the debt. But Texas, in this respect
is NOT peculiarly situated. Maine has public lands,
so has Tor had) Massachusetts, both of which
States, we dare say. would like to have the Federal
Government take their lands and pay their debts.
Again, the new States all own more or less of pub
lie lands, the gift of the United States for school
and public improvement purposes how gladly they
would give up their lands, if Congress would Sc
cure them from insolvencies and pay their debts
The democracy" will be little puzzled, too,
in redeeming some of Mr. Donelson's other pro-
misses, viz those that promise the expenditures from
the Federal Treasury for internal improvements in
Texas. The " democracy Of 90 in Virginia, and
South Carolina, and all along that region there,
deem such appropriations unconstitutional !" and
the democracy Of Northern Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois, with the democracy" Of Michigan and
Wisconsin, demand-that is the word, denmad--
appropriations for their lighthouses, harbors, &c.
before Texas can be supplied. They will be
apt 10 reason that, if il is constitutional To clear out
the bar at Galveston it is more constitutional still
to make good harbor at Milwaukee, on the Maui
NEE, or Sheboygan.
| The democracy" however, must settle their
own troubles. Texas is pretty much in the Union,
but sugargrowing State il must be- and full OF
improbable rivers, we are inclined TO think it will
turn out Trojan horse for the Free Trade, and
" the Free and Equal" as well as the antiquated
'ss " democraey."-N. r. Express.
