of Mr.. Polk, we cannot for moment doubt:
"You are already in possession of months

ed, its INSTRUMENTATION and anita American
features-the rejection of the measure by the
House, refusal of tho Senate to recede; and a.
gain the refusal of the House to recede.
In all this revolution, you will perceive the
strong arm of Mr.. Calhoun to rule or ruin. His
supporters have for months past been telling
us that Mr.. Polk would be without party in
Congr tss, like Mr.. Tyler. To do this, resort
has been had to Wing support. The wing
screws have been put to Polk, and mode OF
action adopted for him to pursue in the blue
light resolutions of Crittenden, that was intend

impudence for such small man as James X
Polk to take it out of his hands, and supersede
him by one of Mr.. Folks own choice. No
one has ever heard a wordfn favor of Mr.. Polk
or Secretary Buchanan from Mr.. Calhoun's
lips. We have on every occasion, however,
heard him criticize their conduct with an I'M
sparing hand. Mr.. Calhoun has not failed to
whisper in the ear, the error of Mr.. Polk in

A night among the Mosquitoes in Texas

We shall never forget the first night we slept
or attempted to sleep, on one of the open prai-
rles in Western Texas, some eight years ago.
Night came on with sultry atmosphere, the
souherly breeze, which usually prevails, night
and day, at this season OF the year, having died
away at sunset. Our party, some fifteen in
number, had encamped on small stream Of
bracksh water, and near us was little copse,
or as the Mexicans term it, NOTE of timber.
Having made our evening repast, the fatigue of
the day gave US all an early inclination to sleep,
for which due preparation was made. No
sooner, however, had night commenced, than
we were visited by millions upon millions of
musquitoes-first salutng us with their music
and afterwards presenting US with their bills.
Our beds were made upon the ground, thick
carpeting of grass and a blanket underneath,
blanket and the blue starry heavens above
Mosquito bars were missing on the occasion

thousands, could be slain, but thrice the num-
Der seemed to be fitting by and around, to fill
up the gap. The air was literally laden with
them, and had 1t been day time, we verify be-
lieve that they would have obscured the face
of the sun. 1t was in vain that we kndled up
fires about the camp, with the hope of driving
off the enemy by smoke-he wind was at a
lull, and the smoke went straight up to the
heavens. 1t was an awful, and we may add, a
sanguinary night-that night upon the prairie,
among the mosquitoes. = 1t was worse - far
worse than would have been "a night among
the wolves" SO graphically described by q
writer of the day. We have made alusion to
this fact just now, for the sole purpose of ad-
monishihg such of our friends as may leave for
Texas, that they must go prepared to encoun-
ter at least one enemy, where if blood be not
actually spilled, it will be extracted on the sue
tion principle.-.Hobile .4drertiser.
