Texas is larger than France ; its soil is said to be unsurpassed by any in the world, and its climate admirably adapted to the European constitution. It is capable of producing more cotton than all the United States, of a better quality, and at a cheaper rate. Sugar can also be cultivated to great advantage ; and all the grains, and fruits, and vegetabl es of Europe can be raised in great abundance. It is the only country in America where cotton and sugar can be extensively cultivated by white labour. Hides, tallow, beef, furs, peltries, live oak and cedar timber, can also be exported to almost any extent. The inhabitants are intelligent, bold, hardy, enterprising, and industrious, of the AngloAmerican race. They have formed a government modelled after that of the United States, except that it is a single sovereignty of similar interests, instead of a federative system of different interests, which gives it prospects of greater permanency, efficiency, and simplicity, and renders it more acceptable to European tastes and notions. By the constitution they have declared the African slave-trade piracy ; they have esteWished religious toleration, and made all equal before the law. They have adopted the common law of England ; and the laws are promptly and impartially administered. Religious and literary institutions are springing up in all directions, and are liberally endowed by the Government. Emigration is pouring into the country, with unprecedented rapidity. Society is improving ; and the English language, literature, and civilization is spreading, with railroad rapidity, over scenes which were, five short years ago, a wilderness. The people of Texas have wisely established a very cheap government ; the debt of the republic amounts only to about 600,000/., and she has an unappropriated public domain of 150,000,000 acres, intrinsically as valuable as any land in the world ; this source, with the most reduced scale of taxes, will support the government for a century.—Colonial Magazine.
