1t is with pleasure that we publish the fol-
lowing cards from the Union Of last evening,
because, from our knowledge Of the gentle-
men whose names are to them, nothing could
be more foreign to their feelings than to aid
the operations Of the abolition party in its
Internal schemes to break up the harmony
now existing between the North and the
South. Indeed we know that Mr.. Fitnam,
who has been raised in Virginia, has often
while resident Of Philadelphia openly OPP
posed the doings Of those people at their
public meetings, and that he also took de-
cided stand against the course Of the late
Daniel O'Connell, in his attack on the south
ern States, at the Repeal Association in that
city, which all its members know we'll The
anti-abolition resolutions offered by Myles
D, Sweeny, and agreed to in that associa-
ton, four years ago, and subsequently adopt
ed by the Repeal Association Of Baltimore,
were drawn up by him. This, we should
think, is enough to satisfy any one Of his
views on this subject The only object these
gentleman could have in signing any such
petition would be the carrying into effect ex-
sy mart Sr The Ike Ess i .sys. nteda n
ed from other States. This is what those
States themselves do, and to which no one
can reasonably object.

IRELANp.--Unless the British Parliament
can abolish the teudal tenure by which land
ed property is held in that unhappy island
and substitute therefore the commercial ten
ure by which all landed property is subject
to the operation Of law for the payment Of
debts, it is plain that she will continue to go
on from misery to misery, until revolution
shall sweep away the very foundations of all
law, order, and society. This was once
done in Prussia, and behold prosperous
people have arisen upon the ruins Of ancient
oppression.

MEXICAN CoNaREss The rdebate upon Senior

enating any territory Texas Is said to have been
very piquant The exnct vote upon it % in favor
Of IL and 46 against II. Congress, by equally de-
cisive vote had refused to publish the debate upon it,
Ell Rdsonddor says that the large vote against II was
brought about bya combination Of those who oppose
peace on any terms, even though the United States
were to limit themselves to Texns alone, with those
who think our proposals should be listen to, even if
we propose to treat Of other territory besides Texas
1t will be re objected that Otero declared some time
ago that negotiations should be limited to the single
