PRESIDENT POLK u. TEXAS. !

A curious issue has been made up out of the
Mexican war. Mr.. Polk claimed in behalf of
Texas then one of the States Of our Union) all the
territory east of the Rio Grande. Upon this :" plat
form" he ordered the American army to the east
bank OF that river, thereby asserting his claim in
defiance of counter-claim set up by Mexico, who
maintained that the United States had not lawfully
possessed themselves Of Texas and that, even if
they had, Texas extended no further west than the
Rio Nueces; and beyond that river all was Mex-
can soil, which she was resolved to defend at all
hazards. Mr.. Polk still persisted, however, that
all between the Nueces and Rio Grande was part
and parcel of the State of Texas, and must and
should be SO. So the war broke out and Mexico
was glad to compromise by surrendering the dispu-
ted territory to the arms of the United States. But
now that the territory is longer in dispute be-
tween Mexico and the United States, as trustee for
Texas, Mr.. Polk claims the chief part Of it as pro-
perty OF the United States, and upon the HEig
ground that Texas had never bona tide posses.
sion at any time of any portion of it. Uncle Sam
has possession and Texas, not recognising his
right to hold il, is about to send her officers bther
to oust his. Thus we have the spectacle of one
set OF office-ho!ders arrayed agains another set of
office-holders. Uncle Sans boys, it seems, have
the inses," and have politely adnonisbed the
Texans that their visit may be deemed mpertinent
and intrusive, and rewarded with dress of tar and
feathers. How it is to be settled we arc at loss
to magne.-NoyoLs Hcraid.

provision to supply the deficiency in time. The
following note from Mr.. WEBSTER sets this notion
at rest

DEAR Sin There is no difficulty all in regard to the
question propounded in your letter those who write about
It would first DO at the trouble Of reading the law they might
save themselves trouble.
The act of Congress provides that when any State shall
have held an election for the purpose of choosing electors and
shall fail 10 make choice the day aforesaid then the cleo

as the State shall by law provide"
The standing law of Massachusetts does provide that If
the electors be not chosen by majority Of votes hey shall
be appointed by the Legislature.
