Il viii Be sssn BY the proceedings in the House
OF that the adjustment ofthe ques-
ioas which have been agtating the country, is not
likely to be settled without considerable strife. It
10 even feared that the Senate bill for the adjust
mont Of the dificulty between Texas and N. Mexi-
co win fail to pass the House. II is to be regret
ted that such state Of things exist. should the
Texas boundary bill be defeated, it 10 easy to point
out The political gamblers WAC the sole cause Of
il. When years shall have passed, and the present
aificulttes with them, let these men be remember
cd, and receive the just reward Of their political
knavery, and unholy alliances against the peace,
happisess and prosperity Of our glorious Union
Let then pass into that oblivion, which has NO linn
il, and Vt their names b remembered only to be
hated.
We do not ents:tsin The belief, for moment, that
the Heterogeneous mass of political corruption and
knavery which united to stave of final action on
the Texas bill, can accomplish the dark designs
which their putrid hearts have conceived. Before
the great question OF the perpetuity of the Union,
the old party lines upheaved and disappear with
the velocity Of misty clouds before the rising sun.
When such men ~ Giddnss and wilmot, with
those Who follow in their train, can meet and unite
with disunionists Of the south, like Seldom, Orr,
and Meade, 1t may be fairly concluded that they
unite upon mere action-ready At the airy mo-
A..
stract question, in different form.
While the idea prevails, that Destiny has fixed
the star Of this RepubC-that Destiny has declared
that the sun Of its meridian glory shall linger in the
heavens till distant nations shall feel the influence
Of it, genial rays, and the most remote regions Of
earth shah acknowledge its potency. While this
great nation must fulfil its destiny-it matters but
little what unprinciped politicians may design or
do. It 10 therefore, scarcely necessary to descant
upon the action OF political demsgogues Of the pre-
sent day. when questions, which must tell upon
the destiny of the world up for consideration.
Demagogues, in al ages, have attempted to infiu-
ence the destiny Of Republics, Empires and King
doms, but have yet to learn that they ever sue
ceedsd in changing the course Of things, or Of ma
tions.
That the course Of certain ACTIONS in Congress,
should Be contrary to the principles they have here

consider the materials Of which they are composed.
The northern aboiitionist, free soil, Carrot Smith,
and Albany Regency party, uniting with that Of
Southern abstraction and notification, with It's diff
fersnt shades, reminds Of III such union could
take place,) Jews, Christians, Greeks, Heathen
Aanedans, Atheists, Deists and the long train at.
taehed, uniting upon platform, for the purpose Of
shaking hands over the fall OF some imaginary evil
Of which they have but slight conception, and
vainy suppose themselves the means ofits destruc-
tion, when agency Of theirs, could in the least
effect the object. This incoherent mas, unjust OF ne.
cesity be dissolved.
Of such materials these, would only be heighten.
Cd BY that ofthe breaking up Of the unholy alliance
Of the ncsthern and southern factions in Congress
against the Union. That they will, and that speed
lily, b dissolved, We have no doubt.
