-,r THE NUECES.

We cannot for5ear expressing our sur
prise a. the long and elaborate. vindication
in yesterdays Wing Of the Mexican title
to The Speces, Its strange that the Wing
should have SO li:he confidence in the pa
ttiotism or national spirito of the American
people, as TO expect to persuade them to
surrender, at the i%nsolen: bidding of Mexi,
co, any portion. Of the territory of a sover.
cign State. We have no idea of boring
our readers with long editorials, intended
to prove the American title to the Rio
tirande. That point has been often con-
cIusiyely proved in cur columns; and, If il
had not becn, the time has passed, and tho
people are called upon to. say, whetier they
EiiI give up TO Mexican military tyrany a
pcrtion Of a sovereign State Of this Union.
We might as well cut off a portion Of the
Old Dominion, as surrender the portion of
Texas between the Nueces and the Rio
Grandc.' The outrage would be just as
great, aad we are confident that the people
will visit, with their Indignation such. mad
shallitioss of party. Admit that u Gov
ernmeBt and people should be thus recre-
ant to theirduty, would the people Of Texas
consent to so ~dissraceful a surrender; and,
in making a d~ishonorable peace with Msxi-
co, would we not justly arouse the undying
hostility and active resistance of our own
fellow citizens, the people of Texas? Such
a spectacle we hope and expect never to
See.
But admit, as the Wing contends, that
Texas, as one Of the confederate States Of
Mexico, was not the Texas which we trans
ferred to.Spain and was actually bounded
by the Nueces-and therefore we had no
right to re-annex the territory to the Rio
Gfsnds. does the Wing forget, that when
the CeUtrai Government of Mexico viola
ted the Constitution of the Confederacy,
Texas shook Of the yoke, and claimed up
10 the Rio Grande-that as such she was
recognised 2by5Santa Anna, the President
Of Mexico, by solemn treaty and by the
Order Of hi2 generals-as such was r~eceiv-
edby Us, and our jurisdiction extended by
Ipaaial acts to the Rio Grande-and as such

Leigh HrNr.-We believe it is not gen.
orally known that this British poet was the
son of American parents, though born in
England.-His father was a royalist, and
fed to the mother country at the time of
the revolution. His mother was a sister of

V4mPTtcG.-Wa understand tldt the. very
.reverned gentleman's visit TO the. new
world, which has been so much spoken of,
is now definitely fixed, and that it will take
place next spring. For some time the citi-
zens Of Boston have been expecting him;
and so strong was the belief that he would
visit America this year, that the command
'ers of the Train Line Packets Ocean Mon
arch, which sailed on the Doth nh, and the
Mary Ann, which left last Tuesday, re-
.ceived orders from the owners to place the
state cabins of those splendid YES
sells at his disposal. The .reverned gentle
man has, we understand, intimated that he
will avail himself of this generous offer
early next spring. Boston being the most
Irish Of any city in the United States, and
particularly Astounding in Cork and Kerry
settlers, it will be a triumph to their prihci-
pies and feelings to find both 80 nobly rep
resented as they will be in the person and

VS. The election Of Baron RothchilG to.

more than one change in religious affairs.
The grave question of his eligibility will a.
rouge stormy debates, and may lead to a d.
vdrce Of Church and State, before the con-.

The London correspondent of the Jour-f
nal If Commerce. presents the following
view of the case: g.. ..
"The very endeavor to obtain a sitting
in a Gentle assembly, sanctioned as the
attempt is by the Rabbis, though the same.
is contrary to Jewish law, ~evinces a dispo.
sition 10 reccde from the Hebrew faith
It is a'sigh' Of the times and worth watch
ing. In'London the Jews are divided
The scceders call themselves British Jews,
and they .have rejected the Talmud, thrown
rabinnicsl degrees, keep nc, fes-
or very few, and are now debating
whether they shall change the Sabbath, as
several of the synagogues in Germany have
done, from tho day~of the present Jewish
Sabbath to that Of tie Christian Sabbath.
Thus all these changes. are leading on tol
the transition state, which is SO strongly,
marked BY infidelity. Gross forms and SUI
Perstitions, and oral laws, get abandoned
as civilization advances, and the mind Of
such persons from early education, cannot
at once, grasp the truth, but rusIlcs into
with contempt aud ridicule,
scorning and despising the past, and with
doubt and dread, often making them hope
less and reckless as to the future"

ACQUIRED TALENT.

The following story is recorded of Cecco
Id'Arcoli and Dante;
"TlIey were discussing the subject of
natural and acquired talent, and Ceceo
maintained that nature was more potent
than art, while Dante asserted the contrary.
To prove this principle the great Italian
hard referred tohisicai, which by repeated
practice he had taught to hold a candle in
his paw, while he suppedor read.4 Cecco
desired to witness the experiment and came
not u%npfepared for his purpose-when Dam
te's cat was performing its part, Cecco lift
ing up the lid of pot, which he had filed
with mice, the. creature of an art merely
acquired, dropped the. candle Jew On the
mice with all its instructive propensity
Dante was himself Disconnected; and it was
adjudged that the advocate for tho occult
principle of natural faculties had gained his
cause" ..- H...,.. ,.Dss .r-

Flowers should deck the brow Of the youth
