Wo are wiaer to-day than wo were ye*terday on tho subject of the result of I lie annexation subject. The oracle lias spoken, and wo now know tho views of tho Silas Wright members from New York, Now- England, Ohio, NcwJersey, &c. We /ind that a large number of the democratic mem bers are utterly opposed to the resolution reported from the Coinmitte on Foreign Affairs, and now before the House. In tho IIouso to day, the Texas debate was continu ed, urnl Mr. Yancey, a young man from Albania, made an excellent speech in favor of annexation. As a piece of declamation merely, Mr. Yancey's effort did him great credit,; and he, moreover, brought to the argu ment a very respectable show of logical acumen. Mr. Bailey, ol Virginia, also made a very good speech on the same side. Mr. Stetson, of New-York, followed, and everyone ltimed to him fur an expression of tho intentions of Mr. Silas Wright. M. Stetson seemed to he somewhat in favor of the annexation of Texas hi the abstract. He opposed the pr *j.*ct before the committee, and all the projects that hud been brought to his notice; but liu took his mam stand on tho question of power. Ilia own belief, he said, had long been that Congress could not, by any act till a foreign State for f had entertained this i»»ll.

The "Soulh has been betrayed," and tile "sober second thought" of tho tho people makes them see, while they feel it. ^ But, nut only upon tho subject of Slavery has the Smith been betrayed. There is the Tariff—the "odious, abominable Tariff'''—(hill, (rutin. to be repealed—the South was no longer to suffer from \t» "exorbitant de mands ' upon the industry of tho Cotton Planter! The success ol Democracy was to be tho downfall of the whole Protective System ! ! Well, what has been the result! Democracy has triumphed, and what lias De mocracy done !

Even this provision of the Tariff Act, the successful Democracy—the triumphant Democracy—iho Anti Tariff' Democracy, have relused to repeal. This, though, is not all. North, East and West, k boldly is it declared by Democratic leaders and papers* I lhat tiie Tariff was nut an issue before the people—that it must not, and shall not bo reduced. The great • Stales ofNew Y’ork and Pennsylvania, claim that they J have made the President, and demand that the Tariff shall be left untouched—and Congress has yielded to their demand. It will not be touched to lessen "its ex" actions upon Southern labor”—and when modified by * he Democratic Party, it will be such a modification as the South will never desire to see. It will then be protective altogether of Northern, and sacrificial of Southern interests. Like tiie Abolition cause, every time the Democratic Party of tiie North, West, and East, prevail, the Tariff, the high protective Tariff"polk’ cy, will bo advanced. They aro for no compromise, no Tariff for Revenue, but one that will enrich the public treasury, and make the spoils abundant. We judge tiie party by ils acts, and not by its professions. Thus far, then, the action of Congress is detrimental to the interests of the whole nation, and particularly to the interests of the South. To tiie nation, it is detri mental, because not a solitary act of a wise, or useful nature has passed the body; and, as for economy, anil care of the public money, they are matters left unat tended to. Tiie "sober second thought," such action must soon invoke—and, then, a change will take place. Men will spring up in every section of tho State, bold and honest enough to tell their parly leaders, that i? was not for this they elected Mr, Polk, and rejected Mr. Clay. Men will tell to Democracy, that names shall not deceive them again j that professions are a lie when action does not follow them. Men will tell to those who have so basely deceived them, that their "sober second thought" has convinced them of their error, and 1 no longer will they follow, like the votaries of Jugger- uaut do, a political car that will crush, as It rolls airing, every interest that is dear to Southern people. commit forward has been .,‘cn n bolter feeling, however,among buy- !|’lhii j'net few days, than at the commencement of the We make oiirii’iolaiions 2J cents,4| ns extremes.

All the Courts that have made elections on tlio^irst Monday, will have to elect Clerks of the Courts of Or- dinary again. “THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.” “THE SOUTH BETRAYED.” We have said but little, since tiie defeat of Mr. Cut, of a political character, though much we might have said, well calculated to alarm every patriotic heart —for "danger lias been, and is abroad in our land.” We have preferred to wait events—to let "sober second '("prevail—before wo again touched upon Fed- cral Politics, or upon what pertained to the general welfare of the Union. But we are impressed with the importance of again calling tho attention of our read- ere to National affairs—to Democratic action concern ing them—to the recklessness of those in power—to the abused, traduced, betrayed South, And tills we will do, briefly as we can. Congress has been in session about six weeks. Ia tiie House, tho Democratic party liavo a large majority—a majority by, and through which, they can do just whatever they please to do. And what have they done since their assemblage—since their election of Mr. Polk—since their victory, which Was celebrated throughout the South by their torch light processions! Has tiie abolition spirit, which they pro mised to Bulidue, if not utterly extinguish, received its “quietus V Has the iniquitous Tariff been repealed! Has the general legislation of that Body assumed a more respectable aspect! Or has the least attention been paid to tiie economical use, either of time, or tiie money of the people ? In the negative, must all theso queries be answered. Congress lias been in session six weeks, and tho clouds that lowered before, aro now upon the eve of deluging the South. The fell spir.t of abolition has been made to assume a form a iarming indeed ! 77ie South has been betrayed, and that too, by the election of Mr. Polk. We do not charge a bargain between the President olectand his Southern supporters with Northern aboli tionists ; but tiie charge has been made that support- trsof Mr.Polk were to play, and have played, into the hands of the abolitionists for their support of him. Facts 'com to strengthen, to make the charge good. Else, how duos it happen that tiie 25tli Rule of Congress a rule adopted, and acted out by a Whig Congress has been repeated by a Democratic Congress, tiie very Congress that refused to repeal it, previous to the re- cent election! How does it happen that the rule to prevent abolitionists from petitioning against tho exist, once of Southern slavery, has boon repealed? How doos|u happen, too, that, under all this, tiie democratic party quietly submit, and allow tiie South, almost daily f to be vilified and abusud, and our people made appear before the world aa worse than savages! Is this really the result of a previous understanding, or is it accident* Let the "sober second thought" of tiie peopio ail •wet! It is notorious, through ml the length and broadlh of Georgia,thatthe most solemn assurances were made to tiie people, upon the vital subject of abolition, by tiie supporters of Mr. Polk. He was represented cs a Southern man in feeling and by birth, and, for Aim, as •urances wero made we'l calculated to inspiro ourpeo P'e with confidence. Ileims yet to be tried—but, so far ** the party in Congress is concerned, every assurance •list has been made for them, lias been falsified.

We beg for it, most ear nestly, tiie attentive perusal of our readers. The time has curne, when, if Georgians would be prosperous as t hey have neon, a change must take place. A portion of our capital must he diverted from the culture of cot. ton; and where better can it be employed, than in manufacturing?

The House seemed to be disposed to take Mr. Stet son’s objections with very serious consideration, and they soon adjourned. I learn that some of tho Northern democrats are will ing to take Mr. Tibbatts* project—which admits Texas as a State. One of them assures me that Tibbatts' project, or something like it, will yet pass the House. But I doubt it. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Niles, of Connecticut, in troduced a joint resolution for tho annexation of Texas as a Slate, and it was referred. A Joint Resolution from the House was referred, which prohibits the is*uc of patents in the Houmas I md case. Wo were astounded by the intelligence that Santa Anna had been deposed and driven out of aMpxico. Mr. Calhoun received the intelligence from New-Orleans this morning. There is no doubt of its truth. It agrees with tho impiessions which Mr. Cushing had formed as to the result. Mr. Cushing left Vera Cruz two days before tho vessel which brought this news. It is not the opinion here that the revolution will be favorable to our interests. It will not affect our rela tions with Mexico in any way whatever. The new government will bo equally hostilo lo us with the old one. Texas.—Mr. Dromgoole obtained leave to bring in a now plan for they annexation of Texas. The plan pro posed is that by or on the 4lb of July next there shall be admitted into the Union a State, to contain a—number of thousand square miles, to be called the State of Tex as, and j >in the State of Louisiana, and lo have a Repub lican form of Government, Nothing is embodied m it but this section, which hav ing been read and referred to the Committee of the Whole, Mr. Dromgoole said that he copied the simple acts by which the States of Kentuckey and Vermont were admitted into the Union. He wished the House to remember this fact. Mr. Burke of N. II. asked leave to present a series of Resolutions, adopted by tho L-’gislaturo ofNew Hamp shire, in str ?ng defence o‘ Thomas VV. Dorr and in con demnation of the present Government of Rhode Island and particularly of her courts and jury. Mr. Burke desired that these Resolutions should bo laid upon table, and received out of their order. Mr. Cranston of R. I. objected to thoir reception. Mr. Burke moved to suspend the Rules,—a vote of two thirds being necessary. Mr. Cranston called for the yeas and nays, which were ordered. The vote was 213 to 73, and the Rules were not suspended. Texas again.—The House resolved itself into Com. mittce of the Whole on the Union. Mr. Caleb Smith of la. was entitled to the floor end made an eloquent speech against annexation and in an swer to Mr. Yancey of Ala. One year since it must be .admitted by all parties and persons that the public sen timent of the country was decidedly opposed to the an- novation VV hat I,a.I ..l.anguJ it in t»*at tinw, but* tl.o appliances of a popular party. There were no reasons for annexation now that there were not then, and Mr. Smith proceeded to show ivhat public sentiment was no longer ago than a year since. “A year is a good while," said some one of the major- ity. “Certainly it is. in professions of Democracy," said Mr. Smith. The Globe of last Spring was then quoted to show that the cries of English interference upon this Texas question were an invention, and further, that Texas could not be annexed without endangering the country. Mr. Van Buren's letter in reply to Mr. Ham mett was also quoted to show that the present opinions were no: as their were a short time since, and yet that no circuit ■ ai c?s had existed to change wuat was so short a time since tho actual public sentiment of the country. Mr. Smith spoke eloquently of Texas' indebtedness in Conner* on with the indeotness of the U. States. It seemed to hint a monstrous thing that while the Ameri can name had been dishonored and while the country stood disgraced in tho eyes of the world in consequence of the sin of repudiation, we cou'd not pay our own debts, and yet we proposed to assume tha debts of a foreign nation to an indefinite amount. We knew neither what these debts were — whether ten or twenty mill ions of dollars, or twice that amount—and just as lit»le d,d we know what the resources of Texas were, where with to meet this debt. Should not personal respect, national honor, every feeling of patriotism prompt us to preserve our own credit apd character before going a- broad to pay the debts of a foreign country ? The subject of Slavery was next alluded to in a man- tier which commanded the attention and admiration of the members of the House. Mr. Smith said that ho would sooner have his hand severed from his body, than he would consent to disturin the Union as it is, or any one compromise of the Constitution as they were em bodied in the Conststution. The South by one of these cormpromiscs had an advantage over the free States. Where he came from freemen alone could represent the country in the Conjjrcst of the United States, but the South had Constitutional advantages and he would be the last man to disturb them. But this question of Texas was called a Southern question—a slave question, and a question that was to guarantee tho South its just share of the rights of the Union. This was the appeal made to northern men. They were called upon to make this a sectional ques tion and to disturb the Constitution in order to guaran tee to the South a peculiar benefit. While, said Mr. Smith, I will not disturb tho South in her guarantied rights, I will not go beyond the Constitution in protect ing the Soulh in a great evil, as I conceive it lo be, by the extension of the institution. In common with tho most prominent men of the South continued Mr. S. I do believe Slavery to bo an evil, and I will not consent to alter ’lie Constitution to increase it. Nor will I consent to have iny mouth seal ed when called upon, or disposed to express my opin ion in regard to tho institution of Slavery. I hold my self as lice to speak as to think, and while I will not give up tins right but with my lile,I will give the South all the power that belongs to it to protect her, and if need by blood and treasure, in all her Constitutional rights. Mr. Smith, in conclusion of his speech, defended the North and Massachusetts, and Mr. Adams in particu lar, from tho personal assaults and sneers of Mr* Yan cey of Alabama. Tho floor was givon to Mr. lOwen, who argued at length that there was no violation of the law of nations by the admission of Texas. Mr. O. spoke of slavery as an evil—in the sense that monarchy was an evil, and one that would he got rid ef as soon as it was for tho interest of society to get rid of it. The mam body of tiie argument of Mr. O. was con fined to tho examination of authors who had written upon the law of nations—what was spid beyond this was incidental to the question merely. Mr. Hamblin, of Ohio, rose to discuss tho Bill, but the hour being late the Committee rose, and the House adjourned. Bet Herself and won a Husband.—A buxom young woman in New Jersey« residing in one of the townships of Hudson county, bet with a young gentle man on the Presidential election, the stakes being her own charming self, for belter or for worse, the young man winning her in the case of Polk'e election, and losing her in the event of Clay's success. Tbs result is known. The wedding comes off in a few weeks.— Tho parties arc quite yonng—the lady about 19, and fho man 20.

Graham's Magazine. —We have been favored with a peep at I lie forthcoming number of “Graham" for the month of February, and we may safely denominate i’ ?he Prince of Magnaines. It is, beyond all controver sy. the hnndfotncat and moat expensive periodical over issued. This number contnina original articles from xuch w riters as Paulding, Lowell,Street, Fanny Fores 'er, Tuckermiu and a host moro of like calibree and reputation. The engravings are splendid, and not les** •han seven in number. The first—the “Chief’s Daugh ter”—forms No. 4 of Mr. Graham's spirited Indian picture.*, and is a gem of genius. It is from an origi nal painting by Chapman, and wo do not hesitntn to pronounce it one of his very best. It ia engraved ns only Rawden, Wright and Hatch, can do such work- in the highest style of art. The second is one ol Sind lie's superb pictures. It is both drawn and engraved by him ; and when wc Ray this, the public will expect one of tire sweetest landscapes ever given in ‘Graham* and they will not bo disappointed. The third is anoth- r magnificent likeness of an Indian Ch*ef in costume — a glorious thing which should make a fortune for ny magazine.

Graham richly deserves the unprecedented success he has met with. When we reflect that lie came to Philadelphia nl twelve years of age, “a farmer boy," with a capital of ten dollars in his pocket — that by his industry'and patient study, laboring during the day and studying at night, he was admitted to the bar f this city w ith honor, as we happen to know from his Examiners—that his first essay in the literary field was a*an Assistant Editor with us in the times—that he uhseqnently took hold of an old, exploded magazine, called “The Casket," and by indomitable energy and perseverance has raised his book to the highest popu larly in this country and Europe within a few short years—we bail his succes aa that of a self made man ly merited, and honorable to him and the country.

Times. 1 CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CHAR LF&TON MERCURY.] Washington, Jan. 3. Last night a Democratic Caucus was held in the Hall of the House of Representatives, to bring up the Democratic party to lire scratch on tho subject of Tex as. The two previous efforts made to get up th*s ques- t on in vain, shewed that a Caucus alone would induce the Northern Democrats to go even for taking up tiie subject. I understood that there was some stern talk, ing in the Caucus. Tiie result is—to day, the whole Democratic party voted to take up the question ; but you must not be deceived by this movement into the belief that the Resolution* will by the same majority pass the House. Immense efforts are made to br ng the Northern Democrats into line; but I still doubt if all these efforts will succeed. The Northern politi ians have no .heart, fr the measure, and no affection lor those who have negotiated it. Yet t e defeat of this measure, after taking it up, threatens great confu sion to the party. The position in which it will put tho new Administration, is seen and dreaded by all its friends. Yet in spitoof all consequences, the jealousy against the South, and tho hatred to your Inst tution will, I fear produce it9 overthrow. The same influei res that triumphed in the repeal of the21st Rule, still live, and may decide this question also, and the South again fall, before feelings and prejudices alike fatal to her honor and safety. From the course of the Whig to day, voting to take tho question immediately after a speech from Mr. Ingersoll and another from Mr. Belser, it is clear they expect the measure to be deleated. think, too, from the little competition for the floor, that tho Democrats seem to have no confidence in the result —I mean those in favor of annexation. A few days will show the state of things. Lf the measure is to be adopted, the Whigs will certainly debate it,and we may look fora three week's contest. But if the contrary is asertained to be true, the debate will soon be brought to a close. The Senate adjourned over to Monday. pUbJiabod in U10 Franch pa par- Ola Boll waa ao boo- •rsble man; but Ilia lady, wa grieve to racord, ia, we tear, i i a lunatic Asylum.

Their meaning was tested by votes in the House ol Representative*, where both par- ties, Whigs and Democrats, voted for them. A practi cal exposition of them was given by the Democratic party at divers times, first, in aiding the Whigs lopa-s lie Tariff Act of lr»4*d; secondly, when at the last ses- 1011 of Congress, with an overwhelming majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives, they re used to alter or amend it; and thirdly, w hen at the line session they voted to repeal (lie Rule which ex- xcludcd Abolition petitions. Yet in spite of these nroofsof tho meaningless nature of these resolutions, hey were repeated as the creed of the Democratic par ty at the late Baltimore Convention—and men, /South- men,again repeated the folly of believing that they contained pledges to carry out our principles—and pledge® that would be redeemed. Well, the Prewden- al election is over. Congress meets again, and the Democratic paity repeats its commentaries on tin.* mean- if these Resolutions, Aii pretext for non action on lie Tariff, on account of the P/esidential election, is at an end. Do they act? But one demonstration has been ma le upon tins subject, and that wa® on ihe pro position to repeal the duty on Railroad Iron—an article of the first importance, of universal con w hich is scarcely manufactured at al! in ih VVliat was the late of this proposition to liberate Kail road Iron from an oppressive tax that nearly doubles its cost to the consumers ! Voted down by an overwhelm- ig majority. And tho iilst Rule—where is that 1 Ke pt Hied by a majority of 28—more Democrats voting for the repeal than Whigs. The last pledge—the lost bond of faith—between tho Northern and Southern Demo crats, yet, unbroken is Texas.

Bishop Onder- konk lias been declared guilty by a large majority of tin* house of Bishops the vote standing 14 to ,thus : Ayes—Chase, of Illinois, Brownell, of Connecticut; Hopkins, of Vt ; Smith, of Ky .

The B shop complains that ho Iras been hardly treated, and will relinquish not an Inch of ground until driven from it. Tho charges against the Bishop are a too great freedom with ladies of his parish, the most recent case of which is two and a half years since, ranging fiom that to seven years ; all of eases being while the husbands or parents of the ladies wore present. The liree B shop® who presented Bishop O. voted togeth- ml there is nothing to warrant a doubt of the guilt ot tiie Bishop and his degradation cannot be viewed in any other light than the proper punishment of his which are rendered the moro odious from the high rank of the offender. P. S, — The vote lias been taken in the House as to sentence of the Bishop, which is suspension. Nothing frum the anti-Renta, nor any local news of merest. I'lio Havre packet has cleared $20,000, and has on- aged in ail over $210,000. OliioO’a and Pensylvrma 5’s aro a liftle higher, and there is more firmness in stocks generally!

In the United States Court, the Jury have decided the propeller of Mr. Ericsson to bean invasion of the patent of Mr. Emerson, who is thus declared to bo the original inventor. A verdict was given in favor of Mr Einorson for $3575. The sales of Cotton are very irregular—reaching 1200 bales. Somo lots have 6old a little cheaper, but not enough to quo:e. the Mr. Polk's majority ovor Mr. Clay, exclusive of 8. Carolina, is 38,284. Il to this bo added 20,000 as tho Majority for Mr. Polk in South Carolina—whose vote is not included in tho above, tlie Legislature of that State choosing her Electors—Mr. Polk’s majority over Mr. Clay is 58,284. The Abolition vote, as stated above, is 02,127, and exceeds Mr. Polk’s majority over Mr. Clay by 3,843. Mr. Poik, it will thus be seen, lias been clec/ed Prcsi. dent of Uhj United States by a minority of the popular vote. Tragical Scene on board the Ship barwelL—Yes terday afternoon, says tho Philadelphia Gazette of the 2d inst. tho crew of the ship Far well, on her voyage to Boston, in tow of the City Ice Boat, refused to do duty at the time the ship was to be cast off from the steamer nearly opposite to AJarcu Hook They wore ordered aft bj’ the first, Mr. Engles, at the request of Captain Farvvell. While tho Captain was taking their names, they were highly mutinous in their language. Upon the mate's interfering to preserve discipline, one of tho seamen, Thos. Forbes, a Scotchman, drew a sheath knife on him and slabbed him in the li ft side near the heart. The mate staggered aft, declaring that lio was murdered, and soon after expired. Forbes then ap proached Capt FarweJI, declaring himself to be the murderer, at the same time drawing his knife from Ii s pocket in a menacing manner. The Captain levelled his pistol at him and shot him, but ho was not dead at the last accounts. The cause of this tragical event, like that of tin* majority of such occurrences, was rum. Dec. 31.

Solar as our experi- nee exlendeds the best pickle for hams is tho one pub lished in a late number of the Germantown Telegraph: hut the best pickle in the world will not make good hams unless proper care is paid lo tho Binokieg. Tho great difficulty in smoking hams lies in their not being kept free from all moisture while in the smoke house. Eight times out of, ten, if hams aro examined at tho lime, they will be found to be wet with condensed va por, sometimes to such a degree, as lo have it drop copiously from them, and when surh is the caso tho haul acquires.a bad taste, as if it had been dipped in pyroligeueous acid, and is unfit foresting. 'The cause ef this is to be sought in Iho facta that Iho smoke house is usually loo low, bringing the meat loo near llio fire ; and that there is no vent fur Ihe siearn like vapor in the upper part of the building, by which it van escape, and llius in its condensation on the hams be prevented.— The celebrated Westphalian hams are smoked in the upper chambers of four story buildings, and the fires that supply the smoke aro kept in the cellars. The va por is condensed in the passage, and the hams are al ways cool and dry. Heating lianis in smoking them ! is clearly injurious, and should bo cnreluliy at’bided, as should all moisture. Proper attention to these points will in>ure a good article, where Ihe preliminary steps of pickling have been well conducted.— German. town Tebgraph.
