Often as the assertion has been made. that Slas-
cry cannot be trsnsplalted 10 any territory usy
wres from Mexico, we have never seen. until nov,
any facts alleged in support OF it. The theory has
been reiterated without any attempt 70 support 1t
BY proof Now. however, we have the basis OF the
assumption In an article Of the Nee Orleans Deitd
from which we extract as follows;
What man. a. all acquainted with the condition Of Mex

prevail IN the States Of Mckee. The nature Of the

the possibility expedency Of Introducing probably the

the South Carolina politicians oppose annexston and they
show much better knowledge Of the subject than The
Anti-Slavsry clique Of the North.
Various considerations suggest themselves, an

know whether that abundance Of poems exists in

Of these regions regards population, is identical
with very similar to that Of Texas. while Texas
was part Of the Mexican Republic. But Slavery
