A letter from Washington, Texas, to

following glairing language, that “beau

The Canton of S" of losing (ho valuable prize, the
ultimate acquisition of which was as
certain as any event could possibly be.
How strangely it c ontrasts with those
descriptions by which the imaginations
ofthe people were inflamed in 1844!
The writer says:—
‘ I was somewhat of the same opinion
j as the Kentuckian, who had been in
some of the earlier wars, and on his re
turn some one asked him his opinion of
the country. “Well, stranger,’ said he,
‘I don’t own no land in Texas: I sup
pose if I did, I would be like every one
who does own land there, and that it
would be the best that ever lay out
doors. I tell you my opinion, stranger,
if there was two boats starling, one for
h—11 and the other for Texas, I would
just go ontlie one that carried me the
cheapest.’ ”
The Delta heartily concurs in the

Resulted, That war is an evil which
no nation ought to encounter, except in
defence of its rights or in vindication of
its honor; that a war of conquest, pros
ecuted with a view to acquire by force
of arms the territory of a foreign state,
is alike forbidden by the precepts of
our holy religion and the moral sen
timent of the civilized world ; that with
out stopping to scan the circumstances
in which the war with Mexico originated,
or the objects for which it is prosecuted,
leaving to the Congress of the U. States,
in whom the whole war making power
is vested by the Federal Constitution, to
discharge its own appropriate duty in
this regard, this Legislature, acting in
behalf of the people of Georgia, never

by that people.
Resulted, That in the opinion of this

that her laws did include New Mexico
within her territorial limits, “whilst Mex
ico still claims to hold it as a part of her
dominion; and suggests that “the adjust
ment of this question of boundary is im
portant !” The absurdity and contradic
tion of these several propositions will
strike every one, and yet Mr. Polk treats
them as if they were really all clear and
intelligible.

Wc are glad to sec that Mr. Calhoun
and other Senators arc not disposed has
tily to pass the bill, now before the Sen
ate, for the addition of ten more regi
ments to the Regular Army It is sup
posed that it will require scarcely les*5
than 10,000 men to fill up the skele
tons of the regiments that have been
almost decimated by disease and the
sword. Why not fill up the ranks of
the old regiments, instead of leaxing-
ihcm in their shattered condition, nud
creating ten uew regiments? The rea
son is obvious. The President wants
the patronage which this bill will give
him. The appointment uffourhundred ad
ditional officers may strengthen the Ad-
uimtsiionuuUetially at this time, in mote
ways than one—in Congress perhaps*
(though wc should fain hope not,) as well
as in the country. The heavy additional
draft upon the treasury, in its present ex
hausted condition, dependent as it is upon
loans and treasury notes, would induce
the Administration itself to prefer the
mode suggested by us for augmenting
the rank and file of the army, if a desire
to augment its patronage had not prompt
ed the suggestion, so promptly respond

Senate, of which Gen. Cass always ea
