EMIGRATION TO TEXAS.

We understand, says the New York Sun, that
some Of our New York capitalists extensively, but
hitherto unproftaby, engaged in land speculations
in Texas, are preparing an expedition for Matagor-
da bay; and that number of light draught vessels,
built by Ingersoll for the navigation Of the rivers,
are 10 go out at an early day. Matsgorda bay may
be called the frontier Of Texan settlements. Its
facilities for commerce, as reported by Commodore
Moore, who made an accurate and scientific official
survey, equal to those of any port between New
Orleans and Vera Cruz. We learn that tho expedi-
tion going out from this port will be under the di
rection of two able engineers, who will extend the
surveys made by Commodore Moore, and make a
final decision to the eligibility of the various sites
for new city in that harbor. We have no doubt
this will become the great city Of western Texas
Its geographical position is favorable being the
outlet Of seven rivers, the principal Of which, the
Rio Colorado, rises in the Rocky mountains, flow
ing through the elevated table ands and the fertile
plains Of western and central Texas. The settlers
of Maiagorda bay, accompanying the expedition,
are mostly mechanics, who will have from $50, 900
to 100000 placed at their disposal in the building
of a wharf, three or four warehouses, and commo-
dious hotel for emigrants, The great aim, we are
told, is to bring western Texas into direct commu-
nicahon with New York.

UNITED STATES SENATE OF ls47.

The New York Globe has the following state.
ment and estimate Of the probable political standing
of the United States Senate, commencing after the
4th Of March, ls47: .. ...r.
''Of the wings whose terms expire in l847, sue
cessors have been elected to Evans OF Maine Gil
ley, of New Hampshire, and Barrow, of Louisiana.
The gentlemen elected James w. Bradbury,
John P. Hale, and Solomon U. Downs, all demo-
Gratis, though it is doubtful how far Hale will
act with the democratic party. The legislatures that
are to choose senators in place of Simmons, of
Rhode Island Mangum Of North Carolina; and
Archer, of Virginia, have already been elected.
Simmons and Mangum will be succeeded by wings,
and Archer by democrat Woodbridge, of Mich
gan, and Jarnagn Of Tennessee, will in all proba-
bility be succeeded by democrats though it is said
that local causes may give Woodbridge a chance for
reelection. Davis, of Massachusetts Clayton, of
Delaware; Miller, of New Jersey; Morehead, of
Kentucky, wings; and Calhoun, OF South Carolina;
Lewis, of Alabama; Chalmers, Of Mississippi Sem
ple Of Illinois; Ashley, of Arkansas; Houston, of
Texas, democrats, will be succeeded by senator's of
like politics; and the chances for reelection OF Ber-
rien, Of Georgia, are about even. =.
eff the above statement prove correct, and the
wings carry Georgia at the next election, and Iowa
and Wisconsin come into the Union with democrat
ic next winter the Senate will stand on the
4th Of March, lS47 40 democrats to 90 wings"

A WHlG NO LONGER.

friend has sent us for publication the following
extract Of letter from distinguished gentleman
in the south, for some time judge, who assisted
largely in forming the constitutions of two of the
southern States. The writer has long since finally
retired from the public service.
"AUGusr 5th, 1886.
81 am truly glad to see that the President acquts
himself so well in his high and responsible Office
The difficulties with Great Britain being settled as
think they are, to the satisfaction of the public
there is nothing now to prevent his administration
closing with great brilliancy. The imbecility of
Mexico, however, must make il a matter Of embar-
rassment to know what is the proper measure Of
retribution to be dealt out to her. Ii to me
that In the close of the war, the people will expect
the government to be Unidentified for the expenses
of its prosecution. How is our enemy to make
this indemnidcationl Can she do il otherwise than
by ceding territory, Mr.. Polk has carried as along
so well thus far, that have all confidence he will
continue to do so. You may recollect was once
counted in the whig ranks ] pas honest in my
opinions then, and am so now. This is my preface
to saying that am no longer a whig, and do not
now recollect single leading measure of this ad-
mnstration in which | do not think II is right.
Indeed, have been surprised to see how entirely
the leading papers of the admnistraton-to wit:
the Presidents message and Walkers report
agree with my own notions Of right"

FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.

The New York Herald says We have received by
the arrival of the Robert Bruce, Capt. Wade, from
Belize, Honduras, the following intelligence We
take it from the Belize Observer Of the 9th Au-
gust; .r.. ...
We have received from an attentive correspond
eut, under date Of the 26th July the following i'm
portsnt intelligence:
There has been an attempt at revolution in Saliva
dor, instgated il is said, by the bishop, for some
acts OF the government unfavorable to the clergy
II was suppressed, however, and the bishop is con-
fined to his own house at present
There is a renewed report Of revolution in Costa
Rica
The union Of the deputies Of the different States
in Sonsonate TO form union, has proved abortive
in consequences Of the death Of one Of the two from
Costa Rica and the refusal ofthe other to act alone
The deputies of Honduras had already left Sonso-
nate for their own State.

We take the following brief statement from the
Brooklyn Eagle. IL serves to show the nature of
the sacrifices to which American industry will be
doomed by the policy which does away with the
heavy restrictions imposed upon our commercial
intercourse with England by the tariff of 1S42:
"ENGLANp AS A cUsToMER.--The amount Of the
following articles exported to England from New
York. in Deek, shows the extent Of the trade to

The New Workers are in ecstases at the finishing
of new boat, to be called II George Washington.
She is designed to run between New York and
Albany, and it is expected will be finished about
the first week in October Her tonnage will sur
pass that OF all other vessels of the kind by about
200 tons (though intended merely for the convey.
ance of passengers, she will be capable of carrying
1000 tons, registered tonnage. Her length is $40
feet, and her accommodations will easily suit be-.
tween 700 and 800 passengers The dome over the
main state room hall is one Of the most splendid
things of the kind which has been constructed
in connexion with any Of our river steam vessels.
This dome will be enclosed and finished off accord
ing to most tasteful design, in stained glass;
which will give it a most gorgeous appearance. The
ladies' saloon is fitted up in the style Of what ar
lists call the 1000 column principle" II is also
painted in white and gold, according to Gothic de-
sign, and, when finished will surpass the saloons Of
every other steamboat the river, in style and fin
ish. The great height Of the saloons, too-between
nine and ten feet--wil strike the eye Of the vister
at once, and these supported by mahogany pill
lars, which polished off in the best style. The
engine is the largest built in the United States
cylinder 81 inches diameter - feet stroke; indeed
it may be considered the largest in the world. The
paddle wheel is 80 feet inches; face of bucket IL
feet inches. The engine is vertical, the same as
that of the Knickerbocker, and when the George
Washington is finished, it will surpass in point of
machinery, finish, and general Arrangements, any
thing of the kind that has ever appeared upon our
waters.--.Nafipe (Pa.) Eagle ..' ..t

We give the following extract from letter dated
September 2, from gentleman in York county,
Pennsylyania. After all that was said in the two
houses of Congress about Pennsylvania and the
tariif-sfter the cry Of "repeal" so loudly yOeer-
aied-after all the exertions Of the Pennsylvania
whig representatives to create a panic in the old
Keystone State, we admit that it IL matter OF most
agreeable surprise, even to ourselves, to witness the
firm stand taken by the democracy Of that State
upon the broad platform of principle and equal
rights. 1t is evident they are not to be deceived
they know too well what protection means to be
gulled by the false issue that the wings have at
tempted to make:
"In Adams county, (Mr. McCleaus residence
the democratic convention left him off the ticket
substituting Joel b. Dauner, Of that county.

convention Of this county (York) met. On learning
that Adams had changed 'front.' they determined to
nominate York county man, and accordingly put

appointed three conferees.
