FOR PRESIDENT,
HENRY CLAY,
OF KENTUCKY.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,
THEODORE FRELMGHUYSEN,
OF NEW-JERSEY,
The drops.
Gloomy accounts are contained in the
Mississippi papers of the ravages of the
worm upon the cotton ; that destroyer, so
far as we can learn, has not appeared here.
In this section, the cotton crop never pre
sented a more favorable prospect. The
dVy and extremely warm weather, this
soring, has been favorable to its growth,and
we are told that it is at least three weeks
earlier than last year. More has been
planted than common, and if the season
continues as favorable as it has commenc
ed, the product is likely to be greater than
usual.
OiT* An unhappy division has taken place
in the Methodist General Conference now
in session in New-York, on the subject of
slavery, which was likely to produce a
rupture between the Northern and South
ern branches of the Church. Measures
have been taken however to remove the
difficulty.
The following Resolution wasoll’ored by
Dr. Capers, of South Carolina :
“ In view of the distracting agitation
which has so long prevailed on the subject
of Slavery and Abolition, and, especially
the difficulties under which we labor in the
present General Conference, on account of
this perplexing question ; therefore Resolv
ed, That a Committee of six be appointed
to confer with the Bishops, and report with
in two days, as to the possibility of adopting
some plan, and what, for the permanent pa
cification of the Church.”
The Citair subsequently announced the
following gentlemen to constitute the Com
mittee contemplated in the foregoing reso
lution : VV m. Capers, of the Soutli Carolina
Conference ; Stephen Olin, of the New-
York Conference ; Win. Winans, of the
Mississippi Conference ; John Early, of the
Virginia Conference ; L. L. Ilamline, of
the Ohio Conference ; Phineas Crandall, of
the New-England Conference.
Congress.
The time of adjournment is yet uncer
tain ; the Senate having laid on the table
the resolution of the House proposing the
17th of June.
The bill providing that the time for choo
sing the Electors of President and Vice-
President of the United States, shall be, in
each State, on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, lias passed the House
by a vote of 141 to 24. This is a good
measure, but it seems strange that those
punctilious sticklers for the rights of the
States, who discovered that the Apportion
ment bill was unconstitutional, because it
dictated to the States the manner of choo
sing their Representatives, did not raise
the same objection to this bill. It seerns
to us that one is as much dictation as the
other.
“John M. Niles, the crazy Senator from
Connecticut, has been qualified and taken
his seat, the Committee having reported him
only “in a state of mental debility,” and
bis physician having given an opinion that
Congress was the best place to cure him of
his disorder.
From the National Intelligencer May 16.
|fcLate last evening, after an Executive
®sion of several hours, the Senate re
moved the injunction of secrecy from the
Treaty, and Documents accompanying it,
for the annexation of Texas. We have
not, of course, had any opportunity of ex
amining these papers, but we learn orally,
that, by a communication from the Presi
dent yesterday, the Senate was informed
that ho had ordered a military force to re
pair to the frontier of Texas, to open a com
munication with the President of that Re
public and act ns circumstances might re
quire ; and had also ordered a naval force
to Vera Cruz, to remain oil'that port, and
prevent any naval expedition of Mexico, if
any such should be attempted, from pro
ceeding against Texas !
Thusare the rumored “stipulations” with
Texas, referred to in our preceding remarks,
confirmed, and the extraordinary fact ren
dered certain, that the President has, on his
sole authority, taken a step equivalent to
waging sudden and open war on a friendly
and unoffending nation. We havonotime,
at this late hour of the night, for further
comment on so extraordinary a procedure.
A Tcxau Orator.
Mr. James Hamilton, Ex-Governor of the
Empire of South Carolina ; Ex-Brigadier
General of her militia; Generalissimo of
her armies in the sanguinary Nullification
war, in which he was a prime hero, and
immortalized himself, his long sword,
boots and bull breeches, in which war and 1
breeches he offered to “go to death,” for
some sugar—hut afterwards prudently
changed his mind and went to Texas in
stead; Ex-Representative in Congress from
the aforesaid Empire ; Ex-Texan Minister
Plenipotentiary to divers European nations
and Ex a half dozen other things; ail ex
cessive extoller of his own extraordinary
excellence, is making excursions through
out this State, with certain Democratic
spouters, speechifying and trying to get up
an excitement on that wearisome humbug
the Texas question. He and his band were
last heard of in Macon—what success in
making converts they met with there we
have not heard ; in Savannah they labored
hard to set the river on fire, but couldn’t
come it.
As for the Democrats who accompany
him, no one can biamo them for their exer
tions in endeavoring to raise a commotion
about Texas; they have tried desperately
for some time, to mislead the people on all
the questions of National policy in which
as citizens of the United States they were
interested, and their bad success justified
them in abandonin'; all those grounds of
controversy, and going solely for this Tex
as plot, as the only thing which by any pos
sibility could galvanize the decaying corpse
of their party. But when a citizen of a
foreign country, such as is Genera! Ham
ilton, comes among us and lends himself to
a scheme undeniably gotten up for the pur
pose of making John Tyler, President, we
inay be allowed to accuse him of officious
intermeddling in other people's business.
But the Ex-General belongs to the “ Chiv
alry,” and we are never surprized at any
thing thing that people do, except when ac
cidentally they happen to do right—whose
whole service to the country consists in
blowing out, in duels, each others small al
lowance of brains.
True patriots they, for, be it understood,
They shoot each other for their country’s good.
We have before us a sketch of the Ex-
General’s speech in Savannah, which must
have been about as windy a specimen of
oratory as was ever inflicted on an audi
ence. He talks about his disinterestedness
in advocating annexation, but acknowledg
es tliut the Texas government owes him
some forty or fifty thousand dollars. Pro
vision is made by the treaty for the pay
ment of the Texan creditors by the United
States, in case of annexation ; while if that
event does not take place, the Ex-General
would probably get nothing. He acknow
ledges he lias become a citizen of Texas,
yet claims never to have renounced his al
legiance to this country ; he ought to know
that by the very act of becoming a citizen
of Texas, lie throws off all allegiance to a
ny other country—“ no man can serve two
masters.” He ascribes to Mr. Webster
the saying “No more Slave States are to
be admitted into this Union.” Mr. Webster
has never said any such tiling. He talks
about war with Mexico in the same manner
the Chivalry always do when war is men
tioned —that is, as a valorous turkey-gob
bler fumes, struts and bristles up at the
sight of a red flannel shirt; he repeats all
the old hackneyed arguments about natural
boundaries, former treaties, “ niggers,”
puffs the two great Johns, Tyler and Cal
houn, abuses Clay and Vanßuren, gets po
etical and winds up with something about
a blazing cane-brake.
If the advocates of immediate annexation
must import their orators, why don’t they
import some new arguments, also; such!
flatulent productions as the Ex-General’s J
speech won’t go down.

Atlantic or Gulf coasts,) therefore we ought
to possess Texas and adopt her war with
Mexico ; ulh. most important and logical
of all, because Geu. Cass wants to bo Pres
ident ! It is reported that the General had
written one or two previous letters in oppo
sition to the plot, but was induced to change
bis ground in consequence of the solicita
tions of the Locos, who are wofully in want
of a Texas candidate. Great people, these
Generals !
The advocates of the immediate an
nexation of Texas, make either whale or
weasel of it, as happens to suit their views.
At the South they tell us it is necessary, in
order to strengthen the institution of slave
ry against the machinations of English fa
natics, at the same time they tell the North
that it is expedient because it will eventu
ally weaken the slave Suites and produce
final emancipation. In a report made, or
to he made, to Congress, by Mr. C. J. Id
gorsoll, an eminent Locofoco, the follow
ing argument is used in favor of the mea
sure :
“ Angry protests against Texas, elicited
by misrepresentations issued at Washing
ton, predicate slavery as the abhorrent evil
to be increased by annexation ; assuming
the egregiously false position that more and
aggravated slavery is to follow that event.
Put three-fourths of that fine region aro up
land, with soil and climate adapted to agri
culture and pasturage, where cotton and
sugar will not thrive, and slave labor can
not be employed profitably. Three States
without slaves, and only one with them, cun
be formed there ; and such, your commit
tee understand, is the wish of the present
inhabitants of Texas. Slavery, forbid by
nature, may be interdicted by organic law
there ; and the annexation, instead of in
creasing the power or representatives of
slavery in the Union, will, on the contrary,
certainly and greatly diminish their rela
tive weight. The States of Louisiana,
Alabama, Georgia, Carolina, Mississippi.
Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee, may
suffer by depreciation of their lands and
other property. Virginia, Maryland,Ken
tucky, the Carolinas, and Tennessee, if not
all the slaveholding States, will have their
slaves drawn off to the fresher and more
fruitful plantations of Southern Texas. In a
few years many of them must become free
States ; and thus Texas prove the means of
uniting a large portion ofthe present slave
holding parts ofthe Union in interest, senti
ments, and action, with the North and
West, where slavery is unknown and dis
liked.
The most important exportable product
of the United States, the regulator of their
exchanges and fond of union—cotton—
cannot be profitably cultivated without
slaves ; nor can sugar or rice. Yet look
ing forward to the providential era when
slavery may exist no longer in parts of the
United States, to the diminution of its need,
and ultimate extinction, Texas is the only
land of promise where philanthropists, who
are not zealots, can descry the theatre of
that consumation. Mexico has no slaves,
because her population of the white, black,
and red races, is blended. In her neigh
borhood, am! near, ifnot with her people,
the colored inhabitants of this country may
be united eventually in national numbers,
with the strength, the character, and the in
| stitutions of an independent people. That
national combination may be accomplished
without revolution or commotion. An Af
rican nation may arise, the descendant of
Moorish, other African, and Indian progen
itors, with the improvements of free govern
ments engrafted in their sovreignty. In
stead of eternizing slavery, calm conside
ration of its connexion with the United
States encourages the hope that it may end
in Texas—peacefully and gratefully dis
appear there. Liberia, Canada, Ilayti,
abolition of slavery in the slaveholding
States, even gradual emancipation in the
free States, all schemes of either uniting
whites with blacks, or separating them in
the same communities, without the degra
dation of the blacks, often w orse than their
bondage, have proved abortive. The vi
sion of slavery’s euthanasy by its alloca
tion to the southern parts of Texas and bor
ders of Mexico, may be a delusion. But it
promises more to rational humanity than
any oilier project yet suggested. At all
events, the annexation of Texas cannot but
tend to diminish the alleged evils and pow
ers of slaveholding.

MR. CHAPPELL OF GA.
The Washington correspondent of the
Evening Post delights the readers of that
paper thus :
“ Mr. Chappell, one of the Georgia whigs
in the House, has, I understand, prepareil
for publication a letter denouncing Mr.
Clay, and stating that under nc circumstan
ces can he obtain the vote of the party of 1
Georgia.”
We trust Mr. A. 11. Chappell don’t in
tend to frighten any body. lie has votc-d
with the Locofocoson every important ques
tion all winter, being the only black sheep
in the Whig flock : and now, if he should
declare himselfopenly a Locofoco, we don’t
know who would cry about it—certainly
not. the Whigs.
But Mr. Chappell must not fancy him
self Jupiter. He should recollect that in
1840, when the Whigs had first succeeded,
after years of effort, in electing a Congres
siom-.l Delegation from Georgia, one-third
of that Delegation apostatizod and came out
point blank for Van Buren, in an able ad
dress, which charged the Whigs with all he
can now say against them, and Abolition
to boot. They thought they had annihila
ted Whiggery in Georgia, and ice thought
they had defeated us; when lo ! the State
came up with a double Whig majority in tiie
State and a quadruple in the Presidential
Election. Since that, we have iiad a shrewd
suspicion that the Georgians are not afraid
of bears. Does Mr. Chappell really fancy
himself stronger than Coiquit, Cooper and
Black ? If be is, we have uuder-sized him
considerably.— N. Y. Tribune.

How to fgure out. a short crop of Cotton.
—ln the early part ofthe season much was
said by southern prices current, as well as
by northern cotton speculators, of the num
ber of bales which the crop would fall
short ofthe last year’s production. A ship
master at New Orleans, writing to his own
ers a few months since, was in mucli tribu
lation, from the fact, that his vessel, which
was just laden, fell short some fifty bales
of her usual freight of cotton. A subse- >
quent letter, however, explained the appa
rent difference, as it had been found that
the ship, although carrying from thirty to
fifty bales less, had on board fifteen thou
sand pounds more of cotton than she had
over carried before. Baring’s circular, re
ceived by the Hibernia, alludes to the mat
ter thus:—
Opinion is now pretty general, that your
crop will prove at least 1,900,000 hales,
and when the increased weight of the bales
is taken into account,

ESTIMATE OF THE CROPS OF 1843.
A tabular estimate of the crops for 1843,
has been prepared with much care under
the Commissioner of Patents, at Washing
ton, aqji from numerous sources of infor-j
mation, makes the wheat crop 100,310,- j
856 bushels; barley, 4,220,856 do.; oats, j
1 45,329,969 do.; rye,24,820,271 do.; buck
wheat, 7,959,410 do.; Indian corn, 494,- |
G 18,306; potatoes, 105,765,133 do.; hay,
16,419,707 tons ; flax and hemp, 161,007
lbs.; tobacco, 175,731,554 lbs.; cotton,
•747,666,090 lbs; rice, 80,879,145 lbs;
silk, 315,965 lbs ; sugar, 66,400,310 lbs.;
wine, 139,240 gallons. Pennsylvania has
contributed to this amount 12,215,230 bush
els ofwheat, ten per cent in advance of the
year previous ; 160,398 bushels of barley ;
19,826,938 of oats; 9,419,637 of rye ; 2,.
408,508, of buckwheat ; 15,857,431 Indian
corn ; 9,161,409 of potatoes ; 1,809,128 of
hay ; 3,527 of flax and hemp ; 441,944 to
bacco ; 26,482 silk ; 878,730 sugar ; 18,-
983 of wine. The only States which ex
ceed Pennsylvania in wheat are Ohio and
JNew York.
The estimate of Ohio is 18.786,705 bush
els; New Y r oik, 12,479,469 bushels. The
States which exceed Pennsylvania in the
<-rrowth-of potatoes are Maine and New
Y ork. of this article in the
latter named state’s enormous. It is set,
down at 36,555,612 bushels ; Maine 10,-,
8253,521 bushels. The staTe-asdiich p^odti- 1
oes the greatest amount of barleys Nc-ul.
“York, nearly ten times greater than Penn-i

rnount of’oats is New York, Pennsylvania .
next, and Ohio next. Pennsylvania has!
produced three times more rye than any j
other state ; also, the greatest amount of

est amount of Indian corn, tho estimate is!
07,838,473 bushels. Missouri produced
t ie greatest amount of flax and hemp, 30,-
300 ibs ; Kentucky, the largest yield of to-
Lacco, 52,322,543 lbs; Georgia the lar
-Lrctst amount of cotton, 185,758,138 Ibs ;
Clonnecticut the largest amount of silk,
1 40.971 ; Louisiana of sugar, 37,173,590
1 ts ; and New York next, 6,934,616 lbs.—
A comparison of the agricultural products
o f our own with other countries, from well
S3, uthenticated tables made in 1828 give the
following result:
The number of bushels raised to each j
j soul, was, of grain, wheat, barley, oats and
r-ve in Great Britain, 12 bushels; Den-
Prussial2; Austrial4; France
T ; Spain 5 ; United States 18|. There lias

t>ushels. The population of France was
t I ien more than thirty-one millions, and the
UJTnited States over seventeen millions.—
’ A ’ lius the proportion of grain in the United

was nearly two to one. Similar compari

in favor ofour own, showing that our sur

A PERILOUS VOYAGE.—THE LOST
