Il seems that Mr. Calhoun dreaded the influence Of
England on Texas simply because slavery would be
abolished. He would annex Texas TO prevent such
result The whole policy Of the Union must tend TO
this one question, the perpetuaton of slavery Texas
must be annexed lest slavery should be abolished
there Here Mr. Calhoun does precisely what the
abotionists are accused Of doing. He thrusts this
question of slavery into the policy of the General
Government We protest against fanatics OF all sorts
North and South. All we ask of the North and all
she will grant is neutrality This is the only enable
ground in this Union but if thrust the question
into National politics, how blame the North
for their action +. Mr.. Calhoun do the South
greater injury than by calling upon the General Gov
eminent to act upon such considerations as he here
avows. But we let that pass Mr. c. sent, Secre-
tary of State the Texas treaty to the Senate, dsre-
gardng all claims of Mexico, and in the face Of the
protest of her minister. He wrote to MIR. King a
letter. Official and the most insulting to England that
ever penncd by an American statesman, attribu-
ting to her the vilest hypocrcy in uEdsguised terms

Insist that her threats Of all idle, is surely
preposterous. She had declared that the annexation

forces on the Rio Grande. So it thought when
T the army marched to Monterey. We should think
that man not determined TO be ignorant IN spite OF
experience, might understand Mexico little by this
, time. Before the army marched to the Rio Grande
the war cry was raised in Mey lco and ParedeS taking
advantage of it, preparing to overthrow the Gov

annexation as the offence. This everybody knows
Mr.. Calhoun may say that 1t was the march to the
Rio Grande that caused the He must then re-
Iect all the declarations of Mcxico-treat all her

We believe that MIR. Calhoun is absolutely insane on
the subject of this peculiar institution. few ADOLF

ton the present administration decidedly, and
hope he will, hereafter, be considered. We in
