nriety. Mr.. Fillmore makes a grand
flourish of trumpets; and threatens to
throw the sword into the scale, if the
matter is not speedily adjusted.
On the other side, the California

r;eht must always finally attain, lik'
the Sybips books will be the NOR
highly priced as their number decrease
while the faiihless will sink into
slouoh of scorn, whereas no klndI
hand can ever draw them forth save t
the pillory Of public opinion.
We have the best reasons for belleV
ing that the people Of Texas will neve
consent to be bought Oft, nor sell an

ratify sncb an act, passed while y IN
