LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, August 7th, 1850.

WASHINGTON, August 7th, 1850.
The policy of the administration on the
most absorbing topic Of the day-the boun-
dairy of Texas-was communicated to Con-
gress on yesterday, and has produced no lit
tie excitement among what are termed the
Southern ultras, name not altogether in
appropriate--when the boundary of Texas
and nothing else is under consideration for
4 1t must be admitted on all sides that the
Congress of the United States and the State
authorities of Texas have "clear and un-
questionable" right to make the boundary be-
tween the State Of Texas and the Territory
OF New Mexico, without the interference of
any third party, and / confidently express
the opinion, that the boundary will be thus
amicably settled.
The President, in his message to Con-
gress, takes the ground that it his duty to
carry into effect the constitution, laws and
treaties of the United States, and. according
to the treaty OF Guadalupe Hidalgo the
United States had pledged Their faith 10
guarantee to the residents, in the territories
ceded by that treaty, "all the right of citl-
zens Of the United States, according to the
constitution" and he, as the Executive,
would take efficient measures TO observe the
treaty, by protecting the people within the
territory as defined By that treaty.
He also takes the ground that any act Of
Texas cannot effect the question of bounda'
~ between her and the United States, ant
o'ce versa He, however, distinctly state
mat the Executive has no power to defint
boundary, that must be done by an act o
congress, with the assent of Texas, or b,
me Supreme Court OF the United States
He considers the former as the better plan

name-yet the moment the capsize takes
place, the conductor creeps out of the win
dow, in the person of the editor of the New
York Tribune, whose odor of abolitionism
will scarcely be questioned.
And thus apostrophises he, standing over
the fragments, like Marius amid the Ruins
Of Carthage :-S0Uthern Press.
"Well, gentlemen hostile TO the compro-
mise the laboring bar is with you hence.

STRIKE, BUT HEAR go

We have seen copied into various wing
papers an article written by the editor Of the
Columbus Democrat just prior to a South.
eyH meeting being held in his town. The
article was seized On eagerly, and the editor
has been he'd up as a hberal-minded demo-
crat and his journal as very independent on
account Of his iIl.umed remarks (see broth.
er, how much harm a little lack Of wisdom
does) The next week, how filtered the
tone! We are giad the editor of the Dem
ocrat has made this explanation; we are
sorry, however that his dashing of-hand
way Of writing, rendered it necessary. Here
is his explanation;
Some of our friends take exceptions to
the article in our last on the meeting of that
day. We cannot we'll see why they should
do 50. Certainly, we meant no attack up.
any one We called not in question the
propriety of the meeting. Our sole and on.
ly object was to warn our friends not to
take an extreme course, one in which we
could not sustain ourselves. we C1llcd on
them to paaSc and reject We apprehend.
ed from the wording of the hand-bill that
they would 60 too far, farther than we and
very many other democrats could go, aud
that they would thus commit themselves to
a position that would inevitably dissolve the
democratic party of the county. We
thought we had right to speak to them
the words of caution, and we did so cour-
teously and kindly as we believe, 1t might
have been impertlnent in us, but it was Ger.
taiuly not ill-designed, We had not the re.
motest thought of giving offence to, or
wounding the feelings of any one, and least
of all, when we playfuly asked tne question,
"where shall we go?" of ever separating
from the staunch and true democrats whose
names appear on the hand.biIl, The whole
design of the article was to recommend pru-
dence, caution and uBi0n. That's all and
if in all that, we were wrong, then "griev-
ousIy have we offended"

TINE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish
L political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington, in support Of the
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj Ihyior came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make II desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
OF Government.
l. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage as their medium of intercourse is upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasng by immigration.

with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety 1t Is to use this
Interpretation to the best advantage

country, they bear principally local character,
and relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the or defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
a. The Germans, however, being an Intelligent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
to overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap-
prchensons, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now in existence, will, it is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over to the Wing ranks.
g. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles TO overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
OF the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits of his enterprise, does not fear To be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, If he antici-
