TEXAS TOO.

A division of Texas has been in agitation in
that State for more than two years past. At
the present time, the advocates of division are
mainly in Eastern Texas, where several news
papers are enlisted in the cause We are in
formed by the Houston Telegraph that the
scheme is rapidly gaining favor, and that it is
even proposed 70 hOd All extra oooeion OF the
Legislature upon the subject The Telegraph
stronuOusly opposes it, urging that if there
should be division of the State, as proposed,
into Eastern and Western Texas, there would
be great danger of the western section becom-
ing free State, which the Telegraph thinks
would much deprecate the value of slave prop
erty in Eastern Texas Ii is stated that the
success attending the culture of sugar in Texas
has been such, that the country between the
Trinity and Guadalupe rivers is rapidly filling
| up with planters and, if the State remains
united for some years longer, it will be pretty
we'll peopled with slavehOlding population.
Mr.. Webster was kind enough to inform the
Slavery men that four States could be carved
out of Texas, according to the resolution of an.
ncxation they will wait a little while till
things are ripe

THE CAUSES.

The New York Courier, which surrendered
its preferences for MIR Webster, to give effect
to the Baltimore nomination presents the fol-
lowing as the causes of the disaster
Every member of the so-called Wing party
repudlates the idea of surrendering his prlnci-
pies to the behests Of party; and not only in
dignantly denies any allegiance to party when
such allegiance conflicts with his principles,
but openly claims, and fearessly exercises, the
right of thinking and acting for himself upon
all National questions, regardless of party con-
siderations
And it is because those who at Baltimore in
Juno last, were intrusted with the selection of
Wing candidate for the Presidency, wilfullv
shut their eyes to these simple facts, that we
have to record the overwhelming defeat which
has almost annihilated the semblance of a
Wing party in the country
There is not a solitary Wing less in the Uni
ted States to-day than there were five months
ago and there were enough then to have in
sured us such triumph as never vet has been
witnessed, if we had not foolishly and wicked
ly compromised our principles upon what was
claimed 10 be the altar Of erpediencu The
Wing party is this day, numerically, the strong
est party in the country; and could to-morrow.
under favorable circumstances demonstrate the
truth Of this declaration.
The defeat which has befallen us was clear
ly predicted by this and hundreds of other
Wing presses, which have in good faith sus-
tanned Gen. Scott because they believed him
worthy of the confidence of the whole Whiy
party OF the country although by no manner
OF means as much entitled to the nomination
rs was the great patriot and statesman whom
nation mourns, and whose name inscribed
upon the Wing banner would have secured to
US Nh easy and a triumphant victory. We fore.
saw twelvemonth since that Gen Scott had
committed grave political error in permitting
his name to be connected with the Abolition
proceeding of the Pennsylvania State Conven.
ton, which would inevitably defeat his elec.
ton, if nominated and, although we exone.
rated him from being u party to the proceed.
lngs against the Compromise we yentured "a
predict that, if he did not promptly repudiate
the proceedings of tho Convention alluded TO
he must inevitably be defeated If nominated
for the Presidency
The result has demonstrated that the Wings
OF thls city and State, and Of the United States
who believed that Gen. Scott had COMPROMISED
himself 10y his collision with tho Free Soiler.
and Aboltlonists, would never give him their
support and that there existed no powcr ~
dlsab usc them in this regard The truth is,
the Wing party dlstrusted most uniustly AS we
know, the principles of Gen Scott in relation
TO tho slavery question; and even those who
voted Tor him do not take his defeat to heart.

From the Baltimore Times
CI'BA IN A FIDGET"

From the tone Of reports which wash
ashore in the United States, the authorities of
Cuba are in state of mortal apprehension with
respect to the result of tho Presidential cleo
ton. They anticipate formidable demonstra-
ton at the hands Of Pierce and King or
some of their progressive adherents and what
the consequences of such a vote rs that of
Tuesday last may be, it is needless to conjec-
ture. The Captain General, starting upon his
own premises, and aided somewhat by por-
ton of tho press of the United States, will leap
to the conclusion that the " fiibusters" are in
a frightful majority; and we may naturally
enough expect him to put the island through
some unusual attitudinixng preparatory to the
expected invasion. Let us make some allow
ance in advance for any strange capcrs in Gu
ba about the election in the United States, and
at the same time use the obvious effect of the
result Of the election in that quarter discrcetly

TIE ELECTION

The election is over; and in that result, AT
all events, all parties will rejoice. The canvass
has been heavy and tresome; and even those
who have most deeply felt its Importance have
found It spiritless and uninteresting The gen.
eral belief has been that the result was of very
little consequence; that none of tho substantial
interests OF the country were to be affected by
1t and that it would really make but little diff
ference which of two men-both Of whom were
respectable, and qualified for the oifce-should
fill the Presidential chair for the next four
years. Unfounded and unfortunate as We oou-
slider this belief TO have boon, there was much
in the condition Of the country, and in the po-
litical tendencies Of the time, TO give il plaus-
bility. The business interests of the country
are prosperous beyond precedent There is no

NEW COALITION CONTEMPLATED.
From the Nep York Tribune.

The Rom Of the Whig Party-We make
the following extract from private letter of
coincidence upon the result of the election:
" It Is certainly very yexatous to think that
the people should have paid 50 little attention
to the many good things that you, and |, and
all OF us, have said during the campaign-and
that 1000, 900 copies of the Life OF Scott should
have had no other effect than to give Pierce 2S
States out OF 30 Nevertheless we may as well
take II quietly, "a Socrates drank his hemlock
1t vexed Inc considerably at first but when
found there was not single plank left and
that no chance existed for the reformation of
the Wing party, was consoled
II had long since become tired Of being
cheated by Wing great men at one time and
ridden over by them at another, and it is quite
comfort 10 me now to think that we are rid
OF them. Five years since made up my mind
that next TO clecting n good Wing President
who could be depended upon, the best thing
would be that the party should be annhilatsd
And now, though have failed in my first wish,
am sure of my second
rejoice that, rs Scott could not be elected,
Pierce comes in in such way as frees him from
any necessity of looking to any extreme of his
party for support. Wing opposition is at an
end and the external force being withdrawn,
the internal one will have full play, and the
party will be shiyered TO peices, after which
will come new combinations Take comfort.
Things will come right | have not seen II

did see were buying Salt River tickets
