Her valiant sons have non them nainea Among the great of earth j And infanta, from the cradle, learn To liap of Southern birth. Our hearts arc with our native land— Thorc’e none on earth above her: Her sons arc rare, her daughters fair; And then, they dearly love her. Let olhara boast of what they please— To heci them we’re unwilling— We’ll have our “Southern Rights,” and ease, And grudge them not a shilling. We love our gallant barque of slate, And siatlly should we mourn her, If on her hallow’d dock appeared The semblance of dishonor: But no—hot crew is true as brave. And full of native feeling:— The fostcrings of a Southern sun, Were never fund of kneeling I Our hearts are with our native land ; Our song is for her glory ; She hath many a mime that’s now unknown, Will live in classic story. Her sages, and her poets, too, Have lit the sacred fire ; And the genius of a southern sun Will fan its bright flames higher. Wc love our reverend fathers, grey— We love our virtuous mothers— The meed of that angelic grace, Wo will not yield to others: Far chastity, and modest worth, And pure domestic bliss, Hath never worn a sweeter smile, In any land, than this ! Our hearts are with our native land ; And never shall degrade her : Her flowery vales, and sunny hills, Are not for the invader. And, highly as wc prize the charms Which Heaven lias kindly rent us, We'll give them freely, heart, and hand, And love, to her hevksdsus! Windsor Forest, S. Carolina. From the .V. F. Com. Advertiser, 30th ult, MEXICO AND TEXAS. Wo earnestly solicit attention to the following letter, which, wc have no hesi tation in saying, contains a large qiianli ty of wholesome truth. The w riter is a man who will not make statements on light authority, anil whose word may be implicitly relied on when he makes asser tions on his own knowledge. Thu truth about this Texan humbug must come forth, sooner or later. To the Editors o f the Commercial Advertiser. Nacogdoches, Texas, Sept. 14, 1836. Being completely under cow here, and knowing well that my life might be the forfeit of u few indiscreet expressions, I claim, with many others, (precisely in my own situation and of my own opin ions,) to be a first rule. Texan, wearing my big knife at my girdle, and swearing eternal destruction to every thing through which circulates Mexican blood ; but with all these fears 1 have yet the cour age to speak through your columns, and feel much disposed to converse some lit tle with your JVew York people concern ing our Texas affairs. 1 am willing to go into argument with any one (provided the person taking up the cudgels make affidavit that he is not a speculator in Texas lands) in support of the facts and opinions hereafter set forth. 1 am myself an American, and, unless Providence has deprived me of those sympathies that prompt others, am as much disposed to love my countrymen, to feel fur them, admire them, and to cherish our noble constitution and laws, as any other man ; yet I have never been able to approve the Texan cause, am) still less can I approve of the second fid dle game now playing here by one of the general officers of the United States army. I came .to Texas some seven ye;!is since, possessed, as I thought, of good titles to a league of land, purchased in New York of an individual who, to my certain knowledge, hat) sold many oilier leagues; and on my arrival immediately applied to the proper officer to be put in possession of my land, when, much to my surprise, I was told that my titles were pood for nothing; but was informed at the same time, that I was welcome to land, and that I might select any vacant land, for which 1 should receive titles on conditions then enumerated, and which I thought but fair and equitable. 1 ac cordingly possessed myself of a league of fine land, took the oath of allegiance to Mexico, and have lived in prosperity and happiness till the Texan revolution, since which time I must confess 1 have tasted more bitterness, grief and trouble, than 1 had done in all my passed life before. The like declaration will be made by every American who settled in Texas, wherever they can do so without the fears that now make them mute. 1 now al lude to those Americans who had been settlers for any time, and who had ful filled the conditions entitling them to their lands; and not to those who came for the express purpose of sowing a rebel lion, organised and matured by those who bad forged or had purchased forged titles to lands, and were in advance determin ed to create rebellion, that they might perfect those titles, if possible. " 6 There came into Nacogdoches about three years ago, a Mexican, named Al monte, who publicly informed the people that he had been sent by the government to see and inquire as to the then condi tion of Texas—that the Mexican govern ment was displeased and humiliated to find that immense forgeries had been ef fected in land titles—which spurious ti tles were selling in every large city of the United States, to the great deception and ruined innocent individuals who pur chased tnem—that complaints from A merican citizens had reached the govern ment of Mexico, alleging fraud, not only in the speculators who sold these titles, 'but even in the Mexican authorities them selves—and that this practice must cease, i • * or the government would feel constrained I to act in stu b a manner as would convince ( the world of their disapprobation of such 1 practices. Mr. Almonte further explain- i ed what titles were good, and what were i had—and it is worthy of remark that i those v- hose titles were worthless, have i hated the man ever since, and were very i anxious to have him shot, when he was i lately taken with Santa Anna, on the i score of his having been a spy among i them three years before. Do not laugh, i Messrs. Editors, at the idea of a man’s < being a spy within his own country, and by the orders of his own government. Soon after came General Houston, i late governor, late Cherokee, &c. &c., — and later still, from Washington, with, as he said, (both in the United States and here,) the private views of General Jack son in relation to Texas, General 11. told his friends in general, that his pur pose was to revolutionize the country. Next came General Mason, agent for ; the New York company. Upon the meeting of these two bigwigs, a discus sion took place us to the proposed revolu tion, Houston fur it, Mason at that time against it; the gentlemen waxed warm in the argument, and separated mutually displeased with each other, Mason going through to Mexico, and, as it is asserted by Mexicans, being the first man who conveyed (be news of the proposed rebel lion in Texas to Mexico. Next in (urn was the change in (ho go vernment effected by Santa Anna, and next the Texan revolution. Was it not laughable to see these Textyjs, all of them, generally speaking, slave holders,, adhering to the constitution of 1824, one article of which emancipates all the slaves in Mexico ? Was it not laughable to see them proclaiming a constitution, of which, eleven years ago, the Americans in Tex as had prohibited the, proclamation by the Mexican authorities there, under (lie heaviest threats! What man of common sense can believe in this humbug? None, gentlemen, none, but those that have risked (heir thousands in this coun try ; and they, whoever they may he, feign to believe it. The statements made throughout the United States, of tyranny and oppression on the part of Mexico, toward the American citizens in Texas, are slanderous falsehoods, fabricated to create and nurture (be worst prejudices and Jealousies. The Americans in Tex as have had their own way in every case, and on every occasion, and whenever there happened a legislative act, that was, from any cause, repugnant to the feelings of the people in Texas, it was silenced at once. In short, if there has existed a good cause of complaint in 'Texas, it was that, men were too much their own masters, and toolittlu under (he restraint of any law. Arty allegation so the effect that the Mexican government had deceived citizens of the United States in relation to promises of lands first made to them, is false, and I defy any one to shew a forfeiture of title to lands, when the. conditions of the grunt had been fulfilled by the settler. Now, sir, as to the war : here 1 will ask Americans, (except the speculators,) Ijow many military incursions, insurrections, and rebellions, avowedly for die purpose of snatching Texas from its proper ow ners, will, in their mind, justify Mexico in driving from its territories those that would thus possess themselves of the country? Be it remembered (hat these revolutions have never been attempted ; by the resident citizens of Texas, hot in ; every case by men organized in the U. States for (lie purpose, and coming from a far; why, a single provocation of this nature wore ample justification, but Tex as has, from the time of the adjustment ol the boundary of Wilkinson and Fer rara, experienced seven or eight. Now, i what is Mexico to do? Can it be rx -1 pected that she will maintain a large army ! m Texas, merely for the purpose of t guarding against the attempts of n few? Certainly not; were the population of the United Slates one of savages, one of i which wo should not expect good policy, ■ and that international equity, which hits t heretofore been the boast of Americans, , it might perhaps be expected ; but Mexico i has rested upon the belief that when a , tew marauders should interfere with her i poosessions, the American people would 1 not object to see them properly chastised. - But gentlemen, what at present seems to e be the situation of a Hairs P Not only has • Houston avowed (hat his acts were • prompted by the highest authority within 1 the United Slates; but a general officer i of the army of the United Slates presents t himself ,vith forces upon the Mexican r frontier. Ills first orders are to pre t serve perfect neutrality ; and his partie i ulur attention is called to one of the ar r tides of the treaty between the United • States am 1 M exieo, by which the con t trading parties bind themselves to re > strain their respective Indians, within L their own limits. General Gaines having i arrived, is at once in correspondence I with the Texan officers, and despatches - to Washington “information derived from f the highest authority in Texas”—this, i 100, against the most positive information 1 given to Gen. Gaines, by respectable and i' intelligent people, that misrepresenta- I lions of all kinds were fabricating, and i would be invented to induce him to cross. - Upon (ho information thus given at y Washington, by Gen. Guilds, Mr. Secre , tary Cass writes that he has laid before s the executive bis letter, and that hiscon - struct ion, in the uncertainty of the boun i ilary between the U. States’ and Mexico, - being acquiesced in, he, General Gaines, a is authorised to cross the Sabine River, i and proceed as far as Nacogdoches. T 5 - miles within the Mexican territory. This } permission is given, however, only under s certain contingencies; (and I am cer tain (hat these have not been present.) t Here I must be permitted to a<k, (and 1 address myself to every American who t loves his country, and is proud of it,) how - it can be maintained, under anv pretext i that honor would suggest or justify, that t the frontier between (he United States - and Mexico, is uncertain; for a long - time after the acquisition of Louisiana i the United States exercised jurisdiction - only to the Rio Hondo, but six miles west -of Natchitoches, the intermediate terri f lory between this point and the Sabine i River, about 20 miles, being considered - neutral territory ; at last General Wil kinson for the United States, and Getier • al Ferrarra for Mexico, arranged the ’ Sabine as the frontier; a survey made by . | Mr. Melisli also establishes the Sabine ■ at this point as the frontier, A subse -1 quent regular and formal treaty between the two governments confirms the fron- s tier, and has especial and particular re- t fercncc to Mclish’s map and survey ; and t more recently still, the present e.tecu- c live declares by proclamation, that the t two governments shall continue to exer- 1 cise jurisdiction within the territory now |a occupied by either; (his was the result [ of a conference with the Mexican Minis- ( ter, who justly represented that Arkan- < sas had overleaped theboundary between a the two governments, ami was in Urn cx- I ercise of jurisdiction, within a part of the | Mexican dominions. • There is certainly a part of the boutt- t dary not yet (raced, but it is a line pass- t ing over land only, and running from t the 32d degree of latitude on the Sabine, due North to Red River. Thus it will he perceived, (hat all the Sabine, from the sea to the 32(1 degree, is the bounda ry, and that the Sabine above (he 32d degree, belongs exclusively to Mexico, hence the impossibility of there being un certainty about it. 1 will ask again, if there is doubt as to the Sabine frontier, bow it happens that when the Texans ' were petitioning congress for a recogni- ( (ion of their independence, no informa- ( (ion was imparted, to the national legisla- | tore of the circumstances. Again, if I there is a doubt as to the Sabine frontier, how happens it that war in that territory, by regularly organised armies of citizens of the United States, is tolerated against a friendly power? No, sir, there i.s no doubt or uncertainty as to the Sabine frontier. Mr. Secretary Cass cannot be ait fail, or lie is willing to lend himself for a most unworthy purpose. General Gaines having, however, per suaded the executive and secretary that the line was “ imaginary,” and that be “ might cross it,” orders troops from forts Towson and Gibson to occupy Nacogdo ches, as I have said before, seventy-five miles beyond the limits of Mexico; and, what is worse, directs those troops to cross the river above and march through (he country to the place of destination ; so that the troops came into the Mexican dominions at least two hundred miles be yond Nacogdoches, and having' arrived there, are ordered to fortify and erect other buildings? How is this, gentle men ? Call you all this neutrality ? But, tor a further description of our affairs here, I will add the following facts. The Americans (I mean the regulars) and Texans appear to understand each other perfectly. The neutrality is pre served on the part of General Gaines by allowing all volunteers and other organ ised corps, destined for Texas, to pass in hundreds and thousands undisturbed, but keeps in check any attempt on the part of the native Mexicans and Indians to act against the Texans. The Texans are allowed to wage war against a friend ly power in a district of country claimed by the U. States. The prisoners of war taken by the Texans,are ignorant to which parly they are subject. The American general claims (he country only from M exicO, but has no objections to the car rying on of war against Mexico, in the district be claims ! Pray, sir, let Amer icans speak honestly, and let them say whether any government (ms, within the last rehtnry, placed itself in so ridiculous I alight?—not only ridiculous, but con- i tcmptible. Will not any honest man i confess at once that General Gaines, or any authority clothing him with the dis- s crction so indiscreetly used, would never t have dreamed of the like against a gov- ( eminent able and ready to defend itself, and punish such arrogance? What is ' Europe to say to this ? Will not Mexico i complain ? And will there be. no sym- I pathy for her? I have said that (here is I an understanding between Gen. Gaines . and the officers in the Texan cause; in support of this assertion I send yon the I accompanying slip, cut from the‘Natchi toches paper. I am, sir, your ob’t servant, NEUTRALITY. Proclamation from Gen, Samuel Houston. Nacogdoches, (Texas,) Ang, 29, 1836.

The Constitutionalist , speaking of the slander imputed in the charge against Judge While, of walking arm ami arm with a free negro to the polls, advances this strange doctrine of modern demo cracy—“ the ballot box places every vo ter on an equality. Tim negro, who was then a voter in Tennessee, was (he equal of Judge White, and the vote of the for mer, counted for as much as that of flic latter.” This is pare unadulterated Van burenism. The master taught it in the Convention of New York, and now his man has (he audacity to proclaim it in the State of Georgia. A free negro the e t/ual of Judge White! The vote of a blackamore count as much as the most respectable white man in Tennessee! Ves, this is the idea, and this is the doc trine that the freemen of this State are called upon to support in the election of Van Huron. Next Monday week, when you are about to give your votes for the Chief Magistrate of the country, stop a moment as you go, and ask yourselves how you would feel, if every vagabond of a free negro was your equal in (he exercise of this highest of political rights? Can you contemplate such a state of things without horror? Dawn then with the conjuror, nr up comes the free ne groes, to an equality with yourselves. —•••»» 6© From the Columbia Enquirer, 27r/i ult. On Monday, the seventh day of No vEMiiKR, comeson the Election for Elec tors of President and Vice President of the United States. Are we all prepared •or the event ? Have the citizens of Georgia well considered the important hearing which that election may have upon the future destiny of this country? From the signs recently developed, we are of opinion that they have. The mat ter seems to be fairly and fully under stood, the claims, (he pretensions, and (lie principles of the respective candi dates for the Chief Magistracy of the Republic, have been carefully canvass ed, and decided on by the people. What is the result? Have they found in the past course or present principles ot Martin Van Buren any thing to re commend him to their support ? lias he exhibited. ilirouxh the whole course of liis slippery and Serpentine life, any trait of character calculated to win the heart or engage the affections of his country men ? Not one. Has lie performed one solitary act in public or private life which may mil be traced to a mean and selfish desire to advance his own interests? Not one. He stands then before the whole country the “ mousing Grimalkin” that Clinton described him ; (lie “ heart less sycophant” he was represented to be in the memorable denunciation of John A. Cuthbert. But how does he stand related to the South ? Is there a man amongst us who, laying aside party feeling, arid closing his eyes on the reward that may follow conduct, would in a moment of calm and cool deliberation trust the future hopes of himself, the future safety of his wife and children in the keeping of such a politician? Is there one man amongst us who will support for the lowest office .known to our laws the man who opposed the late war and its friends, who advoca ted the infamous restriction on Missouri, who believes in the constitutional power of Congress to abolish slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, who opposes the dis tribution of the surplus revenue amongst the States, desiring rather to keep it in the Treasury to corrupt the country and purchase power; who believes a free ne gro equal to a white man at the polls; would you, we ask, vote for such a man tor Corporal ot the militia? You would not. And vet you are called upon to aid in the election of one to the highest office in your gift, who in addition to a hundred other minor offences, has been guilty and is still guilty of maintaining these principles so dangerous to your safety and your peace. Will you do it! This is the question you are called upon to decide by the votes you give. From the Washington Globe, EXPRESS MAIL. This mail will commence running on the slh of November next.

Wai.l Street, Monday, Oct. 24. , The crisis in our commercial affairs, so long ap- f prohended, is now upon us. On Friday and Sat urday probably about ten or eleven failures were , announced in Wall street. The names of a tow are hcrewitli given: Charles Do Forest, sugar refiner, 84 Maiden Lane, Thomas Hailing, 137 Front street. Brinkerhoff& Wilaon, Commission Merchants 175 do. Pitkin, Burr & Tisdalo, Hardware, 210 Water street. I.ycll A Johnson. Grocers, 228 Front at. Farr & Farmeji, Dry Goods, 17 Platt st. (now Pearl.) B. Osbo-ne & Co. 232 Front st Isaac Osgood, shoe dealer, 151 Water st. Many mote have no doubt been wrecked in the going hurricane.but their names will not be known till to-day or to-morrow. When these names and others were announced in Wall street, a gen eral consternation seized upon (he public mind. Men knew not wliat was corning. The best pa per in the street was sold -at 2, 3 and 4 per cent a month for short dates to raise money upon. Wc saw the paper ofthe Josephs, of Haggerty Sons, and others going at 2or per cent, yet it is well known their acceptances are the best in the mar ket. The general calamity appeared to paralyze every one, hut the brokers who were as busy as bees. “ We have had our day,” said they, “stocks can’t go no farther down”—“ the derangement of the money market now reaches the merchants.” Stocks stand firm at the usual low prices. The banks for several days past have boon un der the influence of a general panic—particularly since the interview between tbe Treasury Dank directors, and (ho Hon, B. F. Butler. Little or no discounts have been made by any of these in stitutions. The Fulton and several other hanks, met on their discount days, tumbled over their offerings—opened not one—locked them up and left the room. The Phenix has ventured a little to relievo the distress—but the Stale Bank is ut terly powerless. The Treasury Banks arc even worse than the independent institutions. They are in a slate of constant agitation. The drafts of the government for the placing offunds, south and west, to meet the requisitions of the distribu tion laws, arc hanging over their heads like the sword of Damocles. A committee has b'en ap pointed— sent on to Washington— to represent the deplorable condition ofthe city, and to invoke the mercy—the aid—the clemency of the govern ment. No relief—no remedy—no aid can come from any quarter hut the Government—and may ny doubt their power. * Yet many (here arc who believe that it would be wiser and belter to lot the storm have its full sway—to interpose no obstacles to a hurricane that cannot be stayed. Clear, good, pleasant weather may follow. Any remedy to stay the torrent, only protracts the evils, inflicted by an overpowering destiny. The whole country has been mad. They have traded beyond their means and powers. The day of reaction is now come. Failures must be—persons must come down.— Who can prevent it 1 The immediate cause of the present crash a mong the merchants is the falling due of the spring paper, which generally begins now and will increase through the months of November and December. Take this in conjunction with the clihct of the Distribution Law—the conduct of the Bank of England—the operation of the Treasury orders—the foreclosing of the real es tate mortgages—the dilapidation in the foreign and internal exchanges, and wc have an accumu lation of disorders sufficient to appal the stoutest heart. , Where is the remedy 1 What is to bo done 1 What can the banks do 1 What the government! What individual credit I All the disquisitions in the Wall street papers are miserable trash. There is no remedy. We must encounter tho storm and try to survive it. The original causes arc pro duced by the conduct of a miserable government, both executive and legislative. The famous com. promise Hill of 1833 is the mother of the whole mischief. That law. caused the surplus revenue —the surplus caused tho removal of the deposits, and the quanols about the United States Bank —these quarrels tho Distribution Law and the Treasury orders—these laws and orders take $50,- 000,000 out ofthe business operations ofthe coun try—knock up tho exchanges—cause specie to 1 he imported from abroad, and carted about at i home. Xhe Bank ofEngland—tho Bank of the United States, and tho politicians,, each throw their scverakporlions into tho boiling chaldron as tho witches do in Macbeth, and thus have we an accumulation of disorders which nothing can stay —nothing set a limit to. The great—theonly— the all powerful cause of the present evils are the want of enlightened Tariff Laws, and the viola tion of the great principle that no government ought to have a dollar more in its Treasury than is sufficient to pay its expenses. Our com merce suffers now, because we are governed by politicians— not men of science and knowledge. Alt parties arc alike. Clay, Webster, Calboun, Jackson, and Van Buren—all—all are in fault and the people in still greater fault that they encourage and foster such wicked and miserable conduct from their rulers and governors. If the fifty millions of surplus, not wanted by (he gov ernment, and about to be distributed to the cor tupland ravenous states were in the pockets of the merchants who paid it, no derangement could have taken place—no disorder in the exchanges no trouble in the money market. It is not—and hero we are. To-day look out for more failures. Prices of cv ry thing must now como down. Nothing can prevent it. Race Extraordinary. —We understand, some time last week, six Lawyers and the Judge, on their way to Lincoln Court, in (his State, were jogging along quite leisurely, in indian-file, when the fifth florae became alarmed at something in rite road, and started, upset the gig, threw out the driver, and scattered books, papers, dtc. in everv direction. He soon came up with the fourth horse, who also took the alarm, and served his driver in the same way. The two horses now kept going ahead, and suceeded in overtaking the third, second and first horses, all of which took the alarm, and went ahead, but thinking their load too heavy, and seeing the advantage their oppo nents had over them, soon knocked sulkies to pieces, scattered books, papers, lawyers and all in the road, and than endeavored to overtake Nos. 4 and 5, but whether they succeeded or not, we are uninformed. All of this look place within four or five miles of the Court House, and at though the five sulkies were all knocked into a cocked-hat, we are happy to learn the lawyers were worse scared them hurl. — Constitutionalist, 29, th uM * JB|| CARRIAGMi jp|& Repository.
