LETTER FROM
Hon. v. e. HOWARD, Of Texas.
To The Editors Of tie Southern Press:

GENTLEMEN: / desire through your paper to
make know to my constituents and the public
the true position of the Government, in relation
to its present controversy with the State of Texas
The claim Of Texas to her boundary is legal
question, having no necessary connection with tbs
question Of slavery, yet the Cabinet at Washing
ton have chosen, for their own selfish and ambi-
tous purposes, to mingle it with that exciting
and complicated subject. ~
In addition to the exclusion of the South from
all The territory, the Cabinet found it nvenient
in order topromote its schemes Of aggrandhement,
to wed itself to the slavery party by taking
measures TO dismember Texas, and apply the
Wilmot proviso within her limits through the
pretended formation of State government within
those limits 1t remains to be seen whether the
Senate will permit the clear legal rights Of the
State TO be sacrificed to this influence.
Step by step the President has been betrayed by
his advisers fully into this measure Of iniquity
and aggression. He has been urged, persuaded
and seduced into course, which, il not speedily
abandoned will inevitably lead to acosion ofarms
between the saveholding and non-slaveliolding
States. Indeed, il caabc no longer disguised that
the Free soil influence in Congress, and which pre-
walls in the Cabinet, is aiming at open hostility
aud blood-sed. Ii desires 70 subdue the South
by means Of tae Federal Government, at the head
Of which is a Southern man. Can any one have
forgotten how often, during the present session OF
Congress the South has been threatened with
invasion and force, by the militia Colonies,
and other valorous champions Of Free soil and
Abolition? '-.' ''-
An issue is at length made up. To suit the
present political exgencies, and crafty the anti
slavery Influences in the country, the policy of the
Administration is chaaged in relation to the Texas
boundary; the authorities Of that State sneered
at by the President: and the State itself threatened
with violence if il shall undertake TO enforce its
jurisdiction in the Santa Fe country. And this
is done in such manner, with taunts and menaces,
that Texas cannot yield the enforcement of her
jurisdiction without the absolute disgrace Of sub
jecting herself to the imputation Of shrinking
before the minions Of power. ...
In his late message of the 18th of June, the
President says:
g / have already in a former message, referred
to the fact that the boundary between Texas and
New Mexico is disputed. Ihave now to state
that information has been recently received, that
certain Robert s. Neighbours, styling himselfcom-
missioner Of the State of Texas, has proceeded to
Santa Fewith sview Of organising counties in that

niunty that his table will be as well furnished.

OF his house generally shall equal at least the other
hotels, which charge So per day
"A baggage car will attend at the railroad depot
and steamboat wharf TO convey baggage TO the

"A limited number OF permanent boarders will be-
taken low, during the summer and recess of Con-
gress. - E., III. F.
