That queetion had not beeh previously fairly before the people, or any large divisions of the American community. It was llien not popularly comprehended—not un derstood in scarcely any of its relations even by the representatives of the people. Politicians in Congress, who had studied it, and Demagogues out of Congress who pretouded to understand it, sought to shape it to purposes of popularity: But the pub- lie verdict had never been deliberately taken. It has been since discussed—its intricacies unfolded —its merits canvassed—its results rationally con jectured.

Add- ed to lhia,at for as the hands could have reached, the lining of the coffin was torn, and wound into a knot; and a considerable quantity of hair was strewed st the feet.

Very Late prom Texas.—The steamship New York,Capt. Phillips, arrived laat evening from Galveston, bringing us papers from that city of Sat. urday last, ihe 1st inst.

In Lagrange precinct the vote up on Annexation waa 251 in favor of it, and only two against it. General Rusk, Lamar and Houston are the most prominent candidates named to represent the new State in the Senate of the United States. The Civillion announces that Mr. Suligny will msitively revisit Texas previously to returning to Europe.

Arista has entertained for a moment the thought ol re conquering Texas, nor should wo lie surprised to learn that there has been an infor mal understanding between Genls.

From conversation with those who have acces* tn the best sources of information in regard to Mexico, we infer that a speedy revolution in that country is inevitable. It is intimated and vety generally believed, that with the new order of tilings, Gen. Almonte will come to the head of af. fairs. To rule in Mexico, unless w ith an absolute and undispu ed sway, they would hardly seam worth nuy man’s ambition at present ; but there ia some- thing so srducivo in tho exercise of power, that there are ever aspirants enough for it. Of those who have been named in connexion with Mexico. Gen. Almonte is better known in the United Stales Ilian any oilier. He enjoys here a reputation for fair abilities, courage and frankness—hardly enough of the fiisi, we fear, for the crisis in which his country is placed. He has been represented as n warm partisun of Santa Anna, and it would be well for Mexico if he could infuse o little of l“e lat ter’s energy ioto liio administration of aflsire.— Without the assistance of some men of signal in tailigeuce and nerve, fertile in resources and prompt to act, Mexico if irretrievably foal.—Ibid. Bbauty. ct I he person to fa*.supported by them for that station. A large number therefore of the Whig mem ben met in convention, and Mr. Berm, in’s name was presented. The name of Judge Douoflut- TY was presented alsothis was done, s» it was stat ed, without authority. Tbs ballot, to the surprise of all, exhibited the feet, that Judge Docghertt was the choice of the Whig members in attendance. This re. sujt, so unexpected to Judge Bxrbiin’s immediate per. aonsl friends, and for which they were utterly unpre. pared—by such an expression of apparent dissatisfac. tion on tha part of those who voted for Judge Do- gbir. ty—necessarily led to tbo immediate tender, by Judge Berbien, of bie resignation of bi* unexpirrd term in the Senate of the Uuited States. Impelled by a high seqse of honor, he gave sn opportunity to the Whig party, to select some member of it, ae a just and faith- ful exponent of ita principles. A fow days, satisfied those who had acted so hastily, under misconceptions of the political opinions of Judge Berrien, that injustice bad been done him by many of his political associates. The member who had pre. sented the name of Judge Dougherty to the Conven- tion, with a manliness which deserves the highest com. mendation, proposed that Judge Berrien should be re. elected to fill the vacancy created under the circum stances herein detailed, aa sn evidence of the confi- dence of tho Whig party in bis ability and political in* tegrily. This proposition was unaccompanied by any condition, snd waa the voluntary suggestion of asenso of justice. The friends of Mr. Berrien, who bad been filled with grief st the apparent sacrifice of that gen. tleman, anxious to co-operats heartily with those who professed the same political principles, and bore the same party name,, could not but view with pleasure a movement so just, so conciliatory, and designed at a reparation torn able and devoted public servant, and whilst they left its success to the action of those who had preferred another individual in convention, they threw no impediment in the way, but evinced by their conduct that they were ready to unite io such an ex pression of unabated confidence. In the Legislature, on Friday last, upon balloting for a Senator, the Whig members in attendance, to a man, conlerred their suffrages on the Hon. John M. Berrien. Gratifying as must have been this united testimony of regard—alive most keenly to sn unsullied reputation— Mr. Berrien sought tha tdvice of many of the most distinguished men of Georgia, before he would signify hia acceptance of the trust so honorably re-coaferred. With entire unanimity, those gentlemen recommended bis acceptance. Aa he could accept it with honor, ten dered and conferred without solicitation, he obeyed their recommendation, and is now again a Senator from Georgia. On Friday night, Mr. Berrien addressed the Whig members of the Legislature, in which address ho sta. ted his acceptance, snd hi* having takon counsel from Ins friends in relation thereto. In the course of s speech of an hour and a half, be adverted to all the top. ire of Democratic denunciation— 1 Texas, the Tariff, the Albany speech, his absence from Georgia during the eummer of 1844, hie ipeech at Boston, Caeaius M. Clay, tic. Never have we hoard ao masterly and com’ plete a vindication from the (landers with which he lias been so furiously snd malevolently assailed. Many democrats wore preseul—we (rust that they st least will hereafter cease to misstate or to misrepresent him. No epithet can be too harsh for the man wbr, hearing hit dofeDce snd vindication, can continue to propagate the calumnies which for a moment as a cloud obscured his brightness and purity. Mr. Berrien, honored and admired as he has been by the Whig party of Georgia, to day, has a firmer ami more enduring hold upon it* affections and confidence, thsn lie ever had. The Titan who was pressed to tbo earth for a moment, rose with increased strength. Wo rejoice to believe tint the events of the two past weeks will give fresh snd increasing vigor tollio Wing parly uf Georgia, snd enable it under ths lead of Governor Crawford to fulfil the expectations of the country by an honest and fearlete discharge of duty. We have said enough, and will now close this arti cle by calling the attention of tha Whigs of Georgia, and not only theirs, but the altontion of tho Whigs of the whole Union, to the following resolutions, unani- moutly adnptcd-by the Whig members of the General Assembly. W* will also state, llist wo liavu been in formed of Judge Berrien’s compliance with tliut nor- tion of the resolution* which asks for Ilia publication of his remarks. We hope, therefore, in addition to what ws have said upon this subject, to see Judge Bek- rien speaking through our columns, tomir readers, at on early day. * Resolved, unanimously, That tlsa Whig members of the General Assembly in the election of the Hon. JonN McPherson Berrien, to supply the vacancy in the U. S. Senate, occasioned by his own resignation, have em phatically signified the unabated confidence uf tho Whig party of Georgia in hit principles snd patriotism, and that we are gratified st his accepisnce of the appoint, meat. . Resolved, That a committee of three he appointed by the Chairman to request of Mr. Berrien, for publication, a copy of the address delivered by him this evening. Accordingly ihe Chairman appointed Messrs. Miller, Owen snd Shockly said committee.
