time. Let them n strain but for a season the III
dor OF their inpatient love. The North is stand
ing on tiptoe, spruce as a bridegroom, and with
the first blast of the war.horn that opens the
dance between us and Great Britain, our Cara
dian brethren will hear such a shout OF 'Come,
haste to the W, dd,ng." as will take captive alike
their hearts and their possessions.
There is another serious objection To the Cana
dian movement. IL must inevitably clash with
the claims Of Mexico, an association Of whose
citizens have unanimously resolved that 'the great
national event of this year is to be the annexation
of the United States to the Mexican Republic
Perhaps, however, these conflicting interests may
he rsconciled by a judicious compromise, in which
Mexico will consent to accept as her portion thai
section Of our country which is not demanded lay
the Canada Resolutions. A thing, however
treated in jest, may be sometimes realized in ear
nest, and the hoax may become a reality, though
Heaven foreiend the day, when the North taking
Canada, and the South Mexico, shall dIssolv,
their present union, and establish two indePen-
dent Republics upon this Continent.

CAPT. ELI.lOTr.

The New Orleans Picayune notices the visit Of
the imam of the white hat" the ubiquitous Capt.
Elliott to Texas. This gentleman, 1t will he re.
collected, was the late British Minister 10 that
Government. The P,cayune SAYS that much
speculation exists as TO the object Of his present
visit. That paper thinks he has been ordered
there by the British Government, as his own in
clInation would hardly lead him to the scene OF
his late modification aud defeat. But for what
Is the question. Some say, TO make a last protest
against annexation; Others, ''to protest against the
extension of the revenue laws of the United
States over Texas, till the expiration Of a treaty
which has some years to run, made between Great
Britain and Texas, whilst the later was a sepa.
rate sovereignty in which certain commercial
and other advantages are secured to the former"
But, as the P~icayune well observes, the COM
plant of Great Britain ought TO be made to the
American Congress, and not TO an individual
member of the Republic.

oREGoN-TnE VOICE OF VIRGINIA.


1t has already been stated that ID Of the 10
representatives Of Virginia in Congress are against
giving the notice to Great Britain TO break up the
Joint occupation of Oregon, and this is believed
To be the sober sentiment of a decided majority
of the people Of the State. Such being the case,
is il not proper, in So important a matter, that an
expression of the Legislative voice should be
had in reference 10 it!
We are among those who have thought, and
still think, that the time of the Legislature has
too often been taken up in the discussion of fede
raj politics, and that the sentiment OF the Com.
monwealth has lost much of its weight by the
FIR, quent repetition of It's own opinion upon ques.
tons pending in Congress; but that there are
occasions when the interposition, not authorita.
lively, but by way of suggestion, is not only pro-
per. but 4 duty.
We consider that the present is such a period.
The great issue Of peace or war depends upon the
action Of Congress in reference TO this very ques
ton of notice to Great Britain. 1t is a question
of solemn import-involving the vital interes 5 of
the whole country, but especially of the Southern
States-and yet Virginia. So prodrgaI of her IN.
~siruction upon mere abstract matters, from which
HOtnins pIdct'Cdi has ever grown up, Is now mute,
and SO chary of her advice, that ii might we'll be
concluded she had forgotten the Just pride Of
other days" The voice of Virginia may not, in
this era Of mad fAnaticisin, and Of wild adventure.
have It's usual potency, but The question may well
be asked by each Statesman, whether silence at
present may not be construed into an acquiescence
in the reckless aud bullying projects OF the day
pr jects which must be mischIeyous in their ten
dency, as well upon the feelings and sentiment
Of the people Of our own country, as upon the sen.
timent of the civilized world, and such as may
preclude a calm and Just decision of matters in
controversy between this country and Great Bri.
tain
We have conversed with but few members Of
the Legislature oh the %suhJsct, but feel satisfied
that a decided majority must be favorable to the
propositions presented by Mr.. Calhoun and Mr..
Crittenden.
