RELIEF TO KIPP AND Brown, STAGE PRoPRIEToRs.
We give in our columns, this day, the report Of a
public meeting held at the Tabernacle last evening,
for the purpose of stirring up the generous feelings
of the people of this city to relieve Messrs. Kipp
and Brown, after their losses by great fire which
destroyed the greater portion of their property, up
town, a few days ago.
1t appears that this meeting was got up by the
friends and acquaintance of Kipp and Brown; al
so, that the various stage proprietors intend to dou
BILE their fares on Thursday, along Broadway and
the Bowery, to raise contribution for them that
probably the theatres will be opened to give them
benefits for their relief and it may be that contri
butibutions will be raised on their behalf in the
churches on Sunday
All this movement is as curious as it is generous.
Kipp and Brown were insured to the amount of
about Sl7 600 but they lost an immense sum over
that by the destruction in horses and carriages,
the late fire. We are happy to see such generous
feeling evidenced in this great city. If it should
be successful no doubt there will be generosity
enough to apply it to all those who have been burnt
out during the last year-poor as well as rich
During the last year. the losses of people by fire,
who have had nothing LETT, have been immense
Many shipowners, also, have suffered losses by
marine disasters. Now, we do notse any lmpro-
prety in holding relief meetings, or employing the
theatres or other means for the aid of those who
have lost their property, when burnt out, by design
or accident, or who have suffered losses at sea.
Therefore, we hope some great movement will be
made to hold a general meeting in this city, for the
common relief of all such sufferers, without excep-
ton, whether injured by fire, or by flood, marine
disasters, during the last year.

A SMALL Jon FOR Mr.. PoLK-THR RECENT
OUTRAGE AT HAvANA.-We trust that our govern
ment will not overlook the fresh insult to our flag
offered by the Spanish authorities of Havana. No
other nation in the world would tamely submit to
such a procedure. If the Norma had been a
British vessel, that government would send fri
gate at once to demand an apology and pecuniary
redress These people "fratemize" with their
Mexican brethren to an extent that leads them to
do anything but openly assist them, and they would
do that, too, if they dared. Cuba swarms with
desperadoes of all kinds, who, finding Mexico too
hot for them, prefer to swagger at safer distance
from cold lack" The infamous conduct of their
authorities in the case OF young Twiggs, and the
other officers whom they seized and compelled to
pay heavily for going into the roadsted in boat,
for some provisions, their way to Vera Cruz, is
sufficiently recent to be also looked into. No
other civilized authorities would have so treated
the servants of a foreign power. They are
as cowardly as they are bigoted, and as trea-
cherous as they are imbecile
Our government should be petitioned by Mr..
Taylor, the owner of the Norma, for redress, and
then Mr.. Polk should exhibit his elephant and
charge such an amount for the exhibition as would
cover expenses.

themselves 70 Gan Taylor, and allow the violent
partizsns Of Mr. Clay to take such course as they
please.
Yet all this quarrelling and confusion between
men and parties will not, after the conven-
ton shall have been held. obscure the popu-
lar intelligence Of the United States, or blind
the people to the progress of the great events
which are gong on in the world. All the
old issues are annihilated. The revolutions IN
Europe, the prospects of peace with Mexico, will
soon, in the progress of this Presidential contest
produce new issues; and these new issues will
take higher, wider and nober ground than
any that have divided the parties in this country
for the last quarter of century. The principal of
these, will be between monarchy and democracy
1t will be soon brought out in Europe and we must
take sides wiz 1t, way or the other, and pro-
badly before year shall have passed away. On
this great question, General Cass and the party that
supports him, will undoubtedly side with republic
can France, against monarchy IN the old or the
new world. And on that ground, we believe the
great contest will be fought in this country. 1t
therefore behooves the wings to deliberate on
their position, and the prospects before them, and
the results that may follow.

A CHAPTER OF SECRET HISTORY.

EyESISG
The two letters which are subjoined form an inn
portan passage in the secret history of the Annex
alton of Texas. Our readers are aware that several
Democratic members of the United States Senate
strove 10 induce Congress to adopt such a method
of annexing Texas would avoid the danger of
war with Mexico, and satisfy every part of the
Union. The plan Of Mr.. BENTON, proposing TO
arrange by negotiation the terms on which Texas
should be, admitted into the Union, had these OBJ
jects in view. If it had been adopted, we should
have acquired Texas without war, bloodshed, or a
national debt The Democratic Senators who supported
had it 10 their power ocompe Congress adop, their method
How they induced consent to a measure,
which put il in the power of the President Texas
and the related in the letters They be-
ayed into the step, seems by act Of the grosest pedy
The whole history Of the annexation Of Texas, far
Government Is concerned is series OF acts which
make that page Of history record Of disgrace. The clan
destine inigues Of Tyler negotiate annexation the
motive Of those ntrgues distinctly avowed by bis Secretary
of State be the protection and extension Of slavery the
silly alarm felt pretended 10 be felt that Texas about
make herself colony of Gea, Britain the treaty negotiated
by Tyler with the Government Of Texas, Objectionable
that the Senate rejected with the shameless bbsries
by which advocates Of the immediate annexation Of Texas
raised up in almost every part Of the country the send
ing Of messenger Texas by Tyler in he last hour Of bis
administration with view to anticipate bis and 20
prevent him from selecting the wise and better alternative left
bis discretion all these worthy parts Of the
shameless Transaction. The infamous portion Of the
whole affair." however that which disclosed in the letters
Of Mr.. Tappan and Mr. Blair, which publish to-day.
We think, for part tba, this fraud should have been
disclosed the moment consummaied-ihe moment that
Mr. Polk, after his solemn pomisesaer all his pretences Of
haste TO recall Mr. yers candestne messenger and 10
woke the offer Of which he bearer declared in bis
nual message that he had ratified Mr. Tylers poceedngs
and confirmed his offer TO Texas and the
gard 70 their reputation, us should have led
