Western Texas.
Some months since we alluded to the
probability that Western Texas might
become free State, and based our sug-
gestions on the fac. that it was populated /
to a great extent BY emi grants from the
Old World. II is strange that those who
have such fear of the integrity of the
rights of the South, should not perceive
that the great est danger to her institu-
tions comes from this quarter. Emigrams
are mostly Freesoit men, and wherever
they settle -thereis Immediately a conflict
between them and the South. The San
Antonio Teroh has the following remarks
upon the subject: -. -.
Some may look upon such an event
as a free State of Western Texas as i'm :,
probable, particularly at time when
such strenuous efforts are being made. to
carry slavery into Kansas, where slavery
does, not now exist. by positive law; yet
there is strong probability that such an
event will occur within the next ten years.
Orr opinion is based upsn the fact that
foreign migration is greater that domes-
tic by at least ten to one, and upon the
well known fact that all foreign imi-
grafton is opposed to slavery from prinsi
pie, prejudice and education And there
are many ofthe emigrants from the older
States, but who will vote no slavery when
the question comes up whether Western
Texas shall be Free or Slave State.--
The fact is not generally known; ifso. it is
not du'y considered. = Tie vote Of the a.
| dopted citizens of Texas now numbers at
least twelve thousand, In less than ten
years il will be SO, increased to three
times that number. unless the nasuraliza
ton laws have changed. This increase
: will be in much greater ratio than that o.
the native born, .',,,I...,. !.
-[When the affairs Of Kansas are settled
the "Border Ruffians" will mo doubI
turn their attention to Western Texas.
d ~The Washington correspondent oI
4 the New York Commercial says: t'.'''~~t'
The frierds Of Mr.! Pierce have un
! doubtedIy succeeded in damaging Mr.
Buohanan's prospects for the nomination
Doubt has been throwniupon his position
as to the Kansas Nebraska bill: ant
though his letter of last December ap
proving that measure has been publ shet
by Mr.. Slidell, yet still the doubt remain!
> whether bis friends in Pennsy1vania 50
understand his position. Then, again
e Mr.. Buchanan has obtained no credit
u if anybody has by the conduct OF tn
e late negotiation with England. Mr.. Buch
Il anan accepted Lord Clarendon's letter Q
t the 18th Of July as satisfactory apolog
e but had not the pluck to stand by tia
y view of the matter. Had he done SO, h
II might have obtained some credit, at leas
e with large proportion of the country, j
not with the Administration.
e The President says, as has alread
been announced, that no Northern ma
q can be nominated, if he cannot be; andih
= is quite right, according to the preser
aspect of matters President Pierce an
e his friends are doing what they can, an
y they can do much, to verify this declare
ton, by breaking down Mr.. Buchanan
j. whose age will exclude him from futul
r. competitorship with Mr.. Douglas for
is nomination by the Democratic party.
