NOT UNWoRTHY coNsrpERAT1oN.

Not long since the Hon. John A. Wilcox, Of
SIM Antonio, Texas, late d member Of Congress-
from Mississippi. wrote a letter to the Aberdeen
Miss |Conservative, which was published about
month since, in which he refers to the oharac-
ter Of one sort Of emigration to that State, IS
follows. s* %&eS 'fsSAN
There are about ten thousand foreign rcters In this
and as far as has been heard fo they have been
d unit. eonscieptaouey believe that the American
party did not receive foreign votes cannot at
be heaten think some twoos thrse thousaud votes.
You viii thus discover that Texas is completely under
bitter II Isis thsre Il pubha
German Abolition paper. and Northern Abolition SOCIETIES
have estsbiIshad agencies here, to whom they lsend
by every mail the NewKork Tribune and other Abolition
sheets gratntcus circulation have bean Informed
that agency receives Eve hundred copies. Now
g s hss the q sns sa
this art strike Of the Abeltionists to make free
State in Western Texas and thereby hem into compass
as narrow az pc sssls the slave power Since my srrva
here the Gersns held large convention which they
declared IN favor Of the abolition of ureof oaths in
courts Of instice-of the Sabbath and Of slavery
We have, all our lives, known that the
foreign born, as mass, entertained particular
aversion to the slave The dislike is partieu-
larly plain in all large cities, and in none more
SO than in New Orleans. Any one can see 1t
any day by taking o heightened stroll through
out the city. An Irish sdrayman hates q .snig-
| ger drayman with Carthagenian hatred,
and never fails to give him beating when q
| good opportunity presents itself. The, competi.
ton N the blacks in labor is peculiarly dis
tasteful to all classes Of foreign laborers But
/ we have ever regarded this feeling as natural
and asF one more the fruit OF circumstances
habits and training, than as founded in hostility
/ to Southern institutions. -
According to Mr. Wilcox letter, however
| and be is well known to be an honorable ant
4 reliable gentleman-itis quite evident that thu
4 foreigners Of Texas are opposed to slavery and
4 the dearest rights Of the South We are vel
aware that there was German Abolition pape,
published in that State during the last canvass
for we read denunciations of it scores of times
4 in different Texas papers; and according to the
translations Of several articles that came undel
4 our observation, it, Was evident it vas al
strongly opposed to the American party as thu
i New York Tribune, or any other Northern
abolition organ. The result of the 9electior
proved its influence over its readers. Not on,
in q hundred but voted in manner to maxi
Greeley's heart leap for joy, and to caus,
Seward TO chuckle exultingly in his sleeve. @
N Itispossible. as Mr.. Wilcox plainly intimates
that this is an artful, deep laid, dangerous
scheme Of the Northern Abolitionists to CONVEX
Western Texas into free State, and conse
quently hem in, as with wall of consumin,
fame, the institution Of domestic slavery! 4
4 looks so--reads so-and, at all events, there i
enough in it to engender a suspicion whicl
should lead to such searching investigation
as would clear away every doubt, and ever.
