TEXAS AND HER ERBT

i. Texas, when she was q revoted de-
partment of Mexico, struggling for her in
dependence, was long in the greatest need
offunds, and borrowed large sums to subsist
and pay the defenders of her existence.
2. As it was extremely doubtful when
she borrowed this money that she would
ever be able to pay it, she promised to re-
turn (should she ever be able to pay at ally
considerably larger sums than she received.
In process of time, many of her cred
itors, needing money, and despairing of
ever obtaining anything from her, sold out
their claims, wholly or in part,-often for
GUMS decidedly below their original invest
ment, and always at rates far below the par
value of their obligations.
a. Texas has paid little or nothing, either
principal or interests of her Public Debt.
which now amounts to some Eight Mil
lions of Dollars.
5. When Annexation was first preached.
the Wings (Mr. Clay among others) said
to the People, If you take Texas, you
will have to pay her Debt 1t is like
marriage, whereby the husband becomes
responsible for his wife's obligations. no
matter what agreement they two may
make to the contrary" This the Annex
ationists denied.
6. When Annexation was carried
through Congress, it was stipulated that
Texas should pay her own debt, and retain
her Public Lands for that purpose, but
that the United States should not assume
nor be responsible for that debt.-To this
compact between Texas and the United
States, the creditors of the latter were no
party, and their rights were of course not
affected by it.
:. Congress afterward agreed to pay
Texas Ten Millions of Dollars for the re-
linquishment Of her claim to New Mexico.
and stipulated that Five Millions sbould
be retained until Texas shall have paid At
least that portion of her debt for which her
Revenues from Customs were expressly |
pledged, and for which the United States |
might therefore be held specially respon.
sible, since those Revenues are now col.
lected and used by the Federal Govern.
ment.
8. Texas was now in funds. Shew cna-
bled topay her entire debt, dollar for dollar.
and 10 have all her Public Lands and q large
mount in cash remaining. Yet, instead
# proceeding to do SO. the Valley Of Ras-
ais promptly resolved not to pay. but to
Ie'ise and employ every pretext for int
ening her treasury at the expense of her

CoNGREss.-In Senate, after various
proceedings of minor interest, the Appropriation
bill was taken up, and amendments amounting in
the aggregate to over 100000 were proposed by
MIR. Atchison and Mr.. Bell for the benefit of In
dian tribes, the purchase of their lands the Glfn-
ment OF treaties with them, &c. Various other
amendments were made, carrying the--aggregate of
appropriations, added yesterday to $3.50 OOO-all
which will OF course, if they pass, be hereafter
urged as proofs of the reckless extravaganza of q
Wing Administration Something interesting
will be found in relation to the Canal at Louisville
and the Washington City Post Office.
In the House, the morning hour was occupied
IN question of privilege by Mr.. Akin, and the
"H'' JUDICIARY Fee bill, and then the Appropria-
ton bill came up in COMMITTEE on ono VII.
amendment was adopted, appropristing $500 900
for a Branch Mint at San Francisco, and another
proposed raising the salaries of Clerks in the De.
partnents at Washington.

UPTOWN HOTELS.

We often meet in travelling, as also in oul
City, friends froma distance who remark that thei
stay in New York is usually shortened if not en-
tirely precluded by the deficiency and inadequacy
Of rooms at our Hotels, which they have found
excessively crowded and, on inquiry, we discover
that they have applied at the Aston, the Irving
and perhaps one or two Others, and, finding them
| full, have found some sort of lodging for the
night and passed on to the sea.shore, the water
ing-places or the mountains, as ignorant of New
lork as if they had never seen it. Nine tenths OF
them seem entirely unconscious that our City has
any Hotels of the first class except those located
in the lower part of Broadway; when in fact we
have at least half dozen up town that would
hold the first rank in any city of the world Of
this sort are the Metropolitan, Collamore and
New ork in upper Broadway, the Union. place
and Clarendon on Union-square, and doubtless 9TH

larize-their managers should advertise them far
more than they debut we are acquainted with
the best Hotels of Europe and America, and those
in the upper part of our City are not surpassed
any where.

at Saratoga, Newport, Niagara &c.-Do not run

the plague here, but spend at least week with
us. For families and private parties, you will find
no quieter life, none more devoid of incidental an
nsyances, than in our Uptown Hotels; and
there is more in New-York that may be studied
to advantage than on any other six square miles Of
this Continent. The great Hotels about the Park
may be ever SO full, yet there is aitpays room at
some Of those up town-pleassnt and sumptuous
suites of apartments, private meals if you dread

MANN PNIITIEG

There are four candidates for Governor
at the election to be held in Maine on the
18th OF September-the Wing, the Loco
Foco, the AntiSlaery and the Rum can
didate.
The entire vote Of the State will proba-
bly, be $4,000 to 100000 of which the Rum
candidate is expected to obtain from @. 900
to $4,000. In Kennebec and other Whiq
portions OF the State but few votes will be
polled for him. His support will come
mainly from the Loco Foco stronobolds
In Oxford County it is thought he will
lead the regular Loco-Foco candidate. In
PenobscOt he will nearly halve the vote
with his Democratic competitor. In Cum
berland he may get 1000 votes; in York,
not quite so many. In Lincoln he will
make something of Il show, and in the re-
naming Counties get respectable scat
tering vote.

is unfavorable, the election of Reid being con-
hrmed' The Missouri Delegation to Congress

at Newport on the Liquor question.

will return the compliment by uniting with
the Wings on County Officers.
The division on Governor on account Oh
the LIQUOR Law will run into the canvass
for the Legislature only to limited extent
The main body of the Legislature in both
branches will be principally chosen with
reference to their party politics, as usual
The State was so apportioned last winter
as to give the Wings only thirty-fye of the
one hundred and fifty representatives, so
that the prospect Of carrying the LegislS-
ture by the Wings is nearly desperate
They will however, make some gains and
have n chance of doing something hand
some in the Senate.
Mr.. Cary, of Aroostook, IA strong Loco
Foco district,) will probably lose his re-
election as Senator, and be supplanted by
a Wing. In Oxford Wing Senators are
likely to be chosen by a coalition of Wings
and Temperance Loco-Focos. In some
other close Counties the chances of the
Wings for Senators are promising.
On the whole, the Legislature will be a
piebad assembly. But from present in
dications, it will be so constituted as to
elect Loco-Foco U. S. Senator, and re-
fuse to touch the Liquor Law.
The election of members of Congress is
likely to result in the choice of two Wings
and four Loco-Focos. The divisions in
Penobscot, and the popularity of Mr..
Washburn, the present Wing member
from that District, Secure his reelection,
while Mr.. Benson will be elected in the
old Wing District of Kennebec. There
is a possibility that Mr.. Reed, the present
Wing representative from the Lincoln Dis
trict, lately elected to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Mr.. Andrews, may
be rechosen. But the new apportionment
places him in a District where the major
ity is large against the Wings, and divi-
sions among his opponents only can
save him, and these are not very threat
ening. Of the three remaining Dis
tricts, the Eastern, represented by Dir.
Fuller, is likely to return a mem
Der of the same stripe. Mr.. Fuller is in
field for denomination, and is likely to
get it. Dir Brown, of Hancock County, is
his competitor, and will be well sustained
in the Nominating Convention, but we do
not think he will succeed. In the Cum
berland District, now represented by Mr..
Appleton, changes have been made by the
new apportionment, but Mr.. Appleton will
retain his seat.
For the Presidency, the Wings of Maine
are united and enthusiastic for Scott. The
defeat of Mr.. Evans's nomination in the
Kennebec District had nothing whatever to
do (as has been alleged) with Presidential
preferences, but was a matter purely per-
sonal to that gentleman. The Wings there
are all Scott men, as they are throughout
the State, as the result in November will
clearly show. Maine has never been prom
ised for Scott, but the indications Of his
carrying it are highly encouraging, and will
arouse the most determined efforts for
success.
