ELECTION DAY This is election day, and it
behooves every freeman to lay aside his ordl-
nary avoeations and devote this day to his
country. Let every man WHO'S entitled to a
vote exercise this sacred duty, and do it un-
derstandingly. One-half of the misrule in this
country, of which so many complain, is brought
about by the absence from the polls OF the in-
telligent, sober and upright class OF Citizens
they thus allowing incompetent men to be
elected. Let nothing Of this kind occur to-day,
and let the pollsbe closely watched to keep
out illegal votes.
G.- The Times gives strong hint thatit
will support the Gorman ticket to-day. Just
as we have prophesied all the while.
10 The Pioneer was furious yesterday
morning. 1t will be more so tomorrow.
ne- We understand that it is intimated
that Gov German will oppose the ratification
Of the Chippewa treaty, because the admins
traton had not sufficient confidence in him to
appoint him one of the Commissioners to ncgo
tiatc it. Just like him.
nz- The Steamer Henrietta from st. Louis,
arrived at our Levec yesterday morning, with
her cabin crowded with passengers, and full
cargo of freight. She departed for the above
port at o'clock.
The fields in the central and western portion

WAsHIHoToN, April Il, 1851.
A memorial of the Creditors Of the late kspuohc o. lux
"a has been presented 10 Congress, asking payment. IL
..,s forth their case very plainly and shews that, oolh IN law
and in morals, this Government is responsible for a large
portion of the public debt Of Texas. BY the act OIL anne"a'
ton Of the third of March, l945, which was accepted oy d
Convention of the people of Texas on the fourth ei July o'
the same year, the sovereignty of Texas, 90 a ne'lon' was
DESTROYED, and she was incorporated into ths:unlon as one OIL
Tho States. This act rendered our government just as re-
snonsible for her debts as II did for her then existing war
with Mexico. But this obligation is as yet not discharged
The liability of the government for these debts, at least SO
far as they were secured by a pledge of "ths duties on I'M
porte" cannot, il Is believed, be successfully questioned DE-
fore any judicial tribunal, and It has frequently been recog-
nized by Congress, as we'll as by the Executive Department
NJ the Government. In the official report ol'ihe lae Secfc-
tary of the Treasury he said: ut is obvious. from. the most
careless perusai of the law (the act of 9h September, 1850,
Thai CONGRESS considered the United States as liable TO pay
all that portion of the debt of Texas, for the redemption OF
which. uduties on Imports had been pledses by the laws OF
Texas." He again says: at was therefore assumed, tha'
the United States should pay, if Texas ud not, af that pot,,
lion of the debt of Texas, for which duties on imports mao
been pledged: for the obvious reason that These dunes mus
pledged were taken from Texas and transferred 10 me uhlteo
