Be it enacted &C., That from and after the
passage of this act, the civil and political Jn-
risdiction Of this Republic be, and ia hereby
declared to extend to the following boundaries.
to wit: beginning at the mouth of the Sabine
river, and running west along the Cult OF
Mexico, three leagues from land, 10 the mouth
of the Rio Grande, thence up the principal
stream of said river to its source. thence along
the boundary line as defined in the treaty be.
tween Tire United States and Spain, TO the be-
ginning.
SAM. HOUSTON, President.
Approved, Dec. 10Th, 1886.
Many Of the whig presses are blaming the
administration for bringing the Mexican war
unnecessarily upon she people Of this country,
by ordering Gen. Taylor to march beyond the
Neuces, and takeup his position upon the left
bank of the Rio Grande. Now every sensible
man, no matter to what party he belongs, we'll
knows that if we have any claim to the new
State of Texas whatever. it must extend to the
banks OF the Rio Grande. For when Texas de-
clared her independence, as will be seen from
the section We have quoted above, from the act
ofthe Texan congress- she distinctly laid down
the RIO Grande as her boundary, and with this
river as her boundary, her independence was
recognized by the leading nations of the world.
We, ourselves, acknowledged the indepen-
dence Of the ''RepubIic of Texas" after she
had defined her boundary as running along the
Rio Gfande. Surely then, tho territory lying
between the Neuces aud the Rio Grande, is
as much an integral part of the territory Q
Texas as that which lies between the CoIora
do and the Sabine, and when the former wa:
menaced by Mexico. i, was the imperative du

This was all that Mr.. Polk did. This he wa

From The "A. S. Standard.
The Rev. M. NJ. Clark on American
Slavery.

1t will be remembered that the delegates
from this country to the Evangelical Alliance
left behind them a colored clergyman, the
Rev. Nj. NJ. Clark, of Washington, as their
champion, and to do the work which they Ell
Their had grace enough to be ashamed of, or
wanted the courage 10 perform. But Mr..
Clark it seems has thought better of his first
consent to act as a ''cat's-paw" for Drs. Cox,
Patton, and their associates, and in the atmos-
phere of England, which, close as it is, is
better than that of Washington, has been
converted to I" comeouterism," as it is in the
Anti-Slavery Gospel. We copy the follow
ing letter from the London Patriot:
SIR,--I regard the circumstance of my Wis
it to England as an important era in the his
tory of my life, respecting particularly thu
subject of American Slavery. | have no
been accustomed in America to view tn
subject in exactly the same moral light IL
which | see it is viewed in this county,
This is accounted for by the different medi

date vicinity of Slavery, and that of Perlec
freedom from such darkening influence.

Reply Of Frederick Douglass 10 DR.. Cox.

On the FIRST page will be found the reply
Of FREDERIcK DOUGLASS to a venoHous aud
most untruthfnl letter from the Rev. SAMUEL
HANSON Cox, ID. D., which was published
a few weeks since in the New York Evan
gelist. 1t was put into my hands by Mr..
Douglass, in manuscript, at Liverpool, the
day | embarked for the United States, and
deserves to be widely circulated in proof of
the immense superiority of a Jugitire Stare
over a bloa,ed docior Of divinity. 1t is a man
ly, triumphant rejoinder, and will be sure to
be read in England by tens of thousands,
with pride and pleasure. DR.. Cox has sunk
himselfto the lowestdepth ofcontemptabroad,
by his pro-slavefy management in the Evan
gelical Alliance, and his brutal treatment of
Douglass, and will be careful to avoid put
ting his foot on British soil, either as a dele
gate or tourist.-Lideraior.

BRIGKToN, Oct. 9th, 1916.

*No colored man can travel by the public
conveyances in the slaveholding States of
America without the personal testimony of a
white man as 10 his being free. No manu-
mission certificate is sufficient. The difficult
ty Of a slave obtaining such white testimony
amounts To obstruction; to say nothing Of
the wicked men, in the slave States through
which they have to pass, robbing freed men
of their papers, and Immediately selling their
persons into perpetual bondage; and the poor
sufferer has no redress.

The Crime of Running away from SIa-
very.

Captain Buckley is the innocent man, but
that ''boy is TO all intents a criminal, as much
so as the incendiary who secretly casts a torch
into your dwelling as much so in fact as
the SIave-steaLr who decoys his unsuspecting
victim, and then sells him into a hopeless
servitude. This 'boy," by his own illegal,
and consequently criminal act, in secreting
himself on board the Mobile, has brought
impending punishment upon a worthy and
unoliending man.-GLobe.
A crime to run away from Slavery Could
impudence or hypocrisy go fartherl And
this is Democracy!
The Captain is innocent is he! What
then does the Globe think of a law which
would consign such a man 10 the Penitentia-
ry! Is it from above or from beneath -
Tribune.
OF course it is from beneath, where the
Globe man is fast fastening to with rapid
stride.-WyStery.
The editor of the Charter Oak attended the
late meeting of the American Board of Mis-
sions, and saw some things that were curious.
He says:-
I'VE saw a curious kind of benevolence
also. When the intelligence was read con-
corning the prosecutions of Mr.. King, and a
few Armenians, great numbers wept, and were
deeply moved; most fervent prayer was offer
ed for them. Those same men turn a deaf
ear and a stony heart to us, when we tell them
of the worse wrongs of three millions of their
W countrymen; will pot pray for them, and
denounce us as mere emissaries of the devil
when we plead and pray for them. All this
was very curious. We could not forbear ask
ing, why is it right and noble for Mr.. King
to break the laws of Greece, and mean and
wicked for Mr.. Torrey to break the laws of
Maryland! How much of this sympathy
for MIR. King is fashion and sentiments We
are very curious to see true answers to such
questions"
