THE TEXAS QUESTION The London
Chronicle thus compliments the sagacity
displayed by Mr.. Polk, in the management
of the Annexation question:
"That immense question, the annexation
of Texas, which seemed so difficult to solve
that it afffighted the bodest men and par.
lies, has been achieved by Mr.. Polk in a
trice. The actipity ofthe English enjoys,
the suppleness Of The French, efforts Of
the most able and most eloquent partizans al
home all pointing at and toorking against
annexation! All these obstacles hare
been overcome. European Interference

annexation Which il Danted before, since

pha Ledger, thus speaks OF the reception
Of Mr. Adams's speech in that city:

Democrats it is received with a general
hurra, especially by those who "go the
entire figure" 81 {: 40 at once: whilst
amongst that portion which before felt ia.
vorably disposed towards Mr.. CaIhouns
more moderate policy, Mr. Adams has
produced some faltering, and deprived
the Southern Statesman of many aderents
on that question. The Wings say little or
nothing about it as yet, though il. is eyi.
dent that they think and feel deeply in re-
gard 10 this unexpected development Of
the ex.Prcsident's concurrence with ultra
Oregonists."
DocToRs IN DEMAND IN CHINA.-It is
stated that medical men are much wanted
in China. and that those who are already
there are reaping golden harvest, having
extensive practice and handsome pay.
INDEED!--The London Morning Chro
nicle---a very amiable journal--is of opin-
ion that in case OF war about Oregon, il
would be perfectly legitimate" for the
British to restore Texas to Mexico! How
the world would stare TO see the British
restoring any thing! Rereille.
THE INDEPENDENT TREASURY. The
following is extracted from capital ari-
Gle in the Albany Argus on the subject of

20,000,000 in our country. The rights
of these masses should be paramount in all
