ed Northwards to the utmost limits OF this continent
Mr.. Polk has, so far, shown himself wiser man,
and more Of an actual statesman, than those WI o
had attained higher reputation than himself by
their eloquence and talents; and we hope that he
will in this, as in all other great affairs not only
maintain, but also 60 and augment, this great and
valuable reputation.
The TEXAN NAvY.-Mr. Bagby, of Alabama, has
introduced, in the Senate of the United States, a
resolution TO incorporate the Texan Navy with our
If this is seriously contemplated, this country
will be saddled with very bad bargain, if, by the
Texan Navy, smeant the four old huks, in the shape
of sloop of war, two briggs and schooner, now
lying in the harbor of Galveston. These vessels
are utterly useless and unseaworhy, and not worth
the expense that would necessarily be incurred to
patch them up, in order that they might be enabled to
reach our nearest dry dock and then they would re-
quire to be entirely rebuilt Is this the 'naval econo-
my hear SO much of Why. the same money that
will be expended In refttlng these contractbuilt
hulks, would put us in possession of like number
OF new vessels. It would be better to sell the ma
terals as they lay, and apply the proceeds towards
paying the debts incurred by establishing the Texan
Navy But apart from this the resolution meets with
Hte FAVOR IN our navy IL is supposed 10 De The IN
tention of Mr. Bagbys resolution to incorporate the
officers of the Texan Navy, who were disbanded
before the annexation. This would be an act of IN
justice towards our present officers If all those
persons who held commissions in the Texan Navy
to be provided for, in similar positions to those
they held in the Texan Navy it will be severely felt
in our service. Suppose that the Texan Leutenants
are placed at the foot Of the list Of that grades would
it not be an act Of injustice to our senior Passed
M;dshipmen, many of whom are growing grey
waiting for promotion The ordinary promotion is
slow enough-surely no such impeachment should be
thrown In their way. AS to the gallant Commodore
Moore, his return to our service would be the least
Objectionable he is high minded, chivarous off
Ger, and has been basey treated by the Executive OF
Texas. We hope the Senate will examine Mr.. Bag
by's resolutions before they act upon them.
