The Star Of Saturday evening has letter
purporsing 10 come from Nanayunk, near Phil
adelphia which was in oil probability got up
in Washington, for purpose. The simple
truth Ia, Col. A. J. Hamilton, who s now In
Washington, " has been making speeches in New
York, and will sresk elsewhere, and % South.
eru man, and Democrat, his blows have been
most telling against that soulless, pro,lavery.
Northern coupromlse, "peaee at.any price "
party, which Is now lsboring to carry certain
Northern States. .l ,.g-r r
Col. Hamilton is In the way Of this perndl-
ous crew hence his influence must be crippled,
aud hence, too, the Washington Star is subsi-
dizsd-willingly, no doubt-for the purpose Of
etiecting this very thing. The following Is a
specimen Of this fellows reasoning. 1t Is too
transparent to deceive the most credulou.
The paragraph we quots has reference to the
efforts Of Col. Hamilton to enlist the Govern
ment in sending au expedition TO the aid oi
the Union men OF Texas, and here II Is:
tits reasonable to suppose that Col. A. J.
Hamilton. irritated by personal wrongs, 10 eager
to push forward an invading army to avenge
he "utrages upon Union men In that beautiful
:" But every true friend of the Union, who,
with the eye Of statesman, looks to the future
and the best interests Of The nation, must Ques.
ton the policy Of this measure. As yet the
praires Of our State have never been polluted
~. -.al
truly nobls forbearauco, has withheld his
| armed legions in accordance, trust, with the
/ request Of Gen. Houston, TO afford the people
/ Of Texas ample time TO awake from the delu.
sion Of secession, and return to the glorious
Union under which they enjoyed an nnox.
Ampled careeI Of prosperity"
Does the brainless an@ shallow fool, who
penued the above, suppose that any man With
brains above au oyster does not zee through
he thin disguises Of this aimsy excuso' 1.-The
prairies of our State" he says, "have never
been polluted with fraternal blood" This |. q
lie, and the author Of the statement, If he knew
any thing about 1t, knew IT to be lie.
1t is said that the President has been very
| torbeariug, and has withheld bis armed lsgions
| 10 accordance with Gen. Houston's request
That the President has been forbsaring, there
can be no doubt, but that he has been 60
through the inter position Of General Houston,
We do not believe. The President has not
found until now the bes. way to aid thesuffsr,
idg Unionists Of Texas, and to bring that State
back to its feslty to the Union Does not the
writer CT this infamous dc. nothing appeal See
10 what position bis declaration places Gen.
Houston II he have really done this, with bis ~
cession neighbors and the blood. thirsty tyrants
Of lh It State? But tits Il Of no sort Of couse-
quence to this scribbler, provided bis letter
shall help the slave democracy. No m ,tter
| what becomes Of Texas, and the poor, suffering
Unionis's aud patriots like Col. Hamilton, who
have been despoiled Of their property, aud are
like partridgts on the mountain.
Shame on the man who for psrlzan ends eau
write such shameless, baretaesd, impudsni
iunbe Of nonsense and lies.
But this writer would have the Government
| wal; Till the people awake from the delusion Of
secession aud return to the glorious Union" &e
Why shouid not The Goverulnent pursue this
policy with every state, and wait tor them all
~ awake and return ol their own accord
What Is Lus Of Texas is true Of all. Ii any
GbiOg were wanting t. show the complete 80.
cessIon proclvities oi this writer, this certainly
would suffics for that purpose. The animus Of
the creature is apparent. Again, this writer
sayt:
ANY rash warlike measures adopted here
Tor the occupation OF Texas might ebdauger
the life OF Gen. Houston, and hundreds, per.
haps thousands Of bis friends"
But does not the man Soc lGat what be has
said OF Gen. Houston's opinions, stating even
what the old hero said In his (tbe writer'e) last
interview with him, before leaving Tsxa,,
will expose him much more to these outrsges,
while IL affords no relief; but an armed expedi-
ton to Texas will give succor and support.
But upon such shallow pretexts, Illuminated at
this time for the basest Of party purposes
We tell this hippan. writer and ssoessionisi
who pretends to resid, usar Philadelphia, but
who really resides in Washington, that an sx-
pedi,ion will start for Texas, aud that that State
will be redeemed, through blood it may be,
but nevertheless redeemed.
There Is q committee now here from Boston, of
most influential men, the New York War Defence
Committee, the Board Of Trade Of that city and
other influential gentlemen, among whom we
notice Major Leland, Of New York, who was
driven cut Of Texas, having to ascrifce large
properly there, amounting to some one hun
dred and Ave thousand dollars.
All these gentlemen are pressing this mat.
ter upon the attention Of the Cover nment, and
they will be heard, despite the croaking Of
secessionisls and traitors, like the writer 10
question.
