this mighty land Why, they are not capable Of
managing properly the affairs of a municipal
government, vet think themselves qualified to
direct that of a nation!
There is a great diversity of opinion among
the wings in the legislature on the subject OF in
corporations Many of their number are kicking
out of the traces, and there is every indcatio on
of quarrel breaking up the WING organization
in these parts. The old-fashioned wings do not
know what TO make of 1t, and are beginning to
feel disconsolate. In the course of week or
two, shall send you letter, In which shall
go into full examination of this matter. Under
ordinary circumstances, | should not think of
troubling. the readers of paper so thoroughly
national In its character as the Herald, with To-
cal affairs but the real cause of this threatened
disruption of old whig ties in Massachusetts,
originates In national politics, and has very lit

The wings throughout the country may not be
Indifferent to movements In a State so firm In
their cause as Massachusetts has hitherto been,
and 1t may be useful to them to know, that
there is more than an even chance that the vote
OF this State will not be given to the nominee OF
should that nominee be a STAKEHOLDER, or citi-
zen of slave State. The existing Legislature,
in the event of no choice of electors by the peo-
pie, will give the vote of the State by filling the
vacant college, so that the wings are pretty
sure of ultimate success. From what know OF
wings, | have no hesitation in saying that, had
Governor Wright lived, or received the demo-
cratic nomination, he would have stood better
chance of carrying Massachusetts than any
northern or northwestern whig-Mr. Clay and
General Taylor not excepted, supposing the lat

The Financial 4.fairs of TEXAS.

of Texas. If the subject be of so much interest
as to be worthy of your columns, you will i've

the Patent Office, so that they may appear in the
next Report
Since writing my last letter, the Legislature
have been taking few steps in the matter.
On the 18th inst, a bill to provide for memori-
alising the u. 8. government to establish line
of military posts from Fort Washita to the Pas
so del Norte, and offering to sell to the United
States the claim Of Texas to all the territory
north OF that line, was introduced, and referred
to the committee on mill tary affairs.
A resolution passed the senate on the 9Th inst
to appoint a select committee of six, to act in
conjunction with a like COMMITTEES from the
house, to enquire into the expediency of ascer-
tanning the amount, &c., of the public debt of the
late Republic of Texas-devises means for its IL
quotation, SC.
These two measures will sit over the same
bottle with each other; and like the two friends
who were seen walking arm In arm up Broad
way, they seem mutually to depend, each one on
the other; and as the boy said OF the matches,
especially the one on this side. They were
sociated in the last campaign, and will both most
probably receive kind treatment of the present
legislature. We are aware that great deal of
distrust prevails in the North upon the subject OF
the debt of Texas. Distrust nay, more-a sort
of total abstinence, touch not, taste not, &c.,
feeling. But this is al the offspring of the same
parent who begat the dispute about the divinl-
tyr of the war-ignorance. You have heard tell
of interesting families, Mr. Editor But sight
worth seeing, would be the dining saloon of the
Astor, with Ignorance at the head of the table,
and folly at the foot, and all their multitudnous
offspring occupying the intermediate places -

If Texas is willing to pay, and able to pay,
wherefore is her credit so much worse than that
of others who do not pay? There lie prevailing
impresso abroad that the debts of Texas are
like unto the seed OF Abraham, as being num-
berless as the stars; whereupon they become like
unto them in another respect, as being stunned
by all men. But there is great error in this, as
will soon be proved by the reports of commit
tees already appointed There could not be a
greater mistake than they make who suppose
that the Texas government does not know, and
has no means of ascertaining, the amount of her
debt. The records of the proper Offices contain
minute reports of not only the amount of issues,
issued or paid out.
