The Texas Robbery.

A very sensible eotemporary Of ours
remarks that the government Of the Uni
ted States has received from the state OF
Texas = very singular return for the
'bloodshed and expense her annexation
: cost the former. At the time OF her an :.
nexa,ion, the United States assumed the
payment Of her debt. amounting to So
ESQ, 600, and involved herself, as . con
sequence, in war which cost the gov
srnment about 500. 600, 900 not to speak
Of the sacrifice Of thousands Of valus-
~bls lives. The Texas debt has been al,
paid out Of the United States treasury.
snk now Texas, BY an ordinance. resol-
YES herself out Of the Union. and take.
with her not only all the public lands,
which. By solemn covenant. she had ex.
prsssly bargained to transfer to the U.
nissd States in lieu Of the payment ol
her debt. but has actually committed f..
bold and daring robbery, in seizing th.
forts. arssnals, and othsf property of the
government, amounting to nearly s2..
600. 900. What zeal was shown by the
friends Of anne xation, that Texas be ad-
mittsd into the Confederacy! How they
labored to show the immense advantage
It would be to the government! 1t was
70 strengthen the bonds of the Confede-
rasy - materially! But like the viper in
che fable, after this poor feeble state had
besu nursed and cherished until she ha d
acquired life and vigor, she now turn
around and strikes deadly blow at the
vitais Of her benefactor. But how *
'cssdingly tender some of tho Democra-
cy are towards these ungrateful traitors!
Some few Of them, hsrabouts, are read y
=almost to take up arms in their defense,
when there is mention made Of enforc-
(. ing the laws in such sections.

Of course this proposition can not be
acted upon by Congress now unless an
extra session is called.

Right!

The Secretary Of War has published
an official order. dismissing Gen. Twiggs
from the army foftreachery to the flag
of his country. in having surrendered on
demand Of the authorities of Texas, the
military posts and other property Of the
U. 8. in his department and in his
charge.
The old scoundrel deserves hanging

OF government property without even 8
demand having been made upon him by
the State authorities.
