From the Harrisburgh Union,
PRESIDENT HOUSTON.

The Hero of San Jacinto, by his course in The
Senate, has shown that he possesses civil qualities
of a high order, accompanied by a fine person, a
highly popular address, and moderated style of elo
quence worthy Of the founder of republic, which
has merged its des,inies in own. His speech on
war with Mexico, and his remarks on controlling
the discretion of the President in relation to appoint
mens in the newly raised regiments Of the regular
army, were not only patriotic, but statesmanlike
eYincing an accurate acquaintance with the sympu.
thies and capabilities of the American people. Gen
era Houston is himself an example Of the salutary
republican principle of advancing merit wherever
you find i,-a principle adopted by Napoleon, the
master-sprit Of the age and which raised Junot and
Ney to the rank Of Marshals of France.
Every Pennsylvania has felt deep and abiding
interest in the fate Of Texas, and all will feel happy
to welcome its new senator the soil of that State
where our fathers of the revolution declared oul
own independence seventy years ago.

"THE TRUE BOUNDARY OF Texas THE Rio GRAsDE
DEL NoRrE.-One Of the most extensive and ac-
curate aliases ever published in modern times, Is
one forth TO the world by .4israndsr X Johnson
esq, (gsOgraphsr 10 her majesty the ussn) Of Edinburgh
Scotland. Its title runs follows: The National
.itlas pith maps Of all parts Of the oOrid compiled
from the most recent and authentic sources This
atlas, is imported by Messrs. Wiley IL Putnam, Of
this city, and cost about $50. IL is considered a
standard work throughout Great Britain, as we'll as
Europe. IL has had an extensive sale and cir
culation.
ain seeking in il for the boundaries Of Texas on
a map of Mexico and Texas, find the boundaries
Of Texas defined precisely as we claim them to ex.
ist-lhat is, giving to Texas all east Of the RIO
Grande, from its mouth to It's source, in latitude 50
or 40. II may be objected to this atlas that MIR.
Johnson, the celebrated geographer, is Scotsman,
and being geOgrapher TO the Queen, Is Of little i'm
portance.
"As valuable as his fine and universally -receyed
atlas H. and however applicable to the point at is
sue, let us leave Scotland and go to London, In
search Of an atlas Of purely English origin We
shall find splendid atlas published last year in
London, by the Society for the Diffusion Of Useful
knowledge This great atlas can also be had of
Messrs. Wiley & Putnam-price $50. This large Eng
lish atlas is admitted 10 be one OF the most accurate
OF modern times. To be useful, as intended by
the society Of publication, it should undoubtedly
be perfectly correct, as nearly so as possible IL
is a map Of Texas, very neatly executed. Its boun-
daries are neatly defined by colored lines. On ex.
aiming it, | found the southern and western boun-
Diary Of Texas was laid down as follows Begin
ming at the mouth Of the Rio Grande, it follows the
left bank Of said river its source throwing Santa
Fe into Texas This line Is continued to the boun-
Diary Of the United States, which it follows to the
mouth Of the Sabine. and from thence along the
gulf of Mexico to the point Of beginning.
at will be recollecled that Lord Brougham stands
at the head of the society for promoting useful
knowledge; that he, with other noblemen, as
sisted in founding the society; and that he, with
other leading noblemen, aided by eminent literary
and scientific men, have had the direction and con
troll of said society. The maps ordered for publ
cation, and paid for by the funds Of the society
were probably carefully examined by the board Of
directors before being made public under their au
tho-ity
I'VE thus have the sanction Of the whole British
public, o. the noi ity and leading of the realm
in favor Of the Rio Grande as the true line between
Texas and Mexico"
