Mr. Stephens' speech on
the annexation of Tex
as. 1845.
‘■Nor do I wish “to
hoax” gentlemen from
other sections upon this
point, as some have inti
mated. I am candid and
frank in my acknowledg
ment. This acquisition
will give additional pow
er to the southwestern
section in the national
councils; and for this
purpose I want it—not
that I am desirous to see
an extention of the “area
of slavery,” as some gen
tlemen have said its ef
fect would be. I am no
defender of slovery in
the abstract. Liberty
always had charms for
me, and I would rejoice
to see all the sons of
Ad inn's family, in every
land a iid clime , in the.
enjoyment of those rights
which are set forth in
our Declaration of In
dependence as “natural
and inalienable," if a
stern necessity, bearing
the marks and impress
of the hand of the Crea
tor himself, did not, in
some cases,interpose and
prevent. Such is the
case with States where
slavery now exists. But
I havo NO WISH TO
SEE IT EXTENDED
TO OTHER COUN
TRIES; and if the an
nexation of Texas were
for the sole purpose of
extending slavery where
it does not now, and
would not otherwise
exist, I SHOULD OP
POSE IT.

- BY THE FASHION ** K
JaSsaksßi* LINE.
IN offering the services of the steamer FASHION,
(the first boat of this line) to the merchants of
Goorgia and Carolina, Alabama and Tenncsseo,
wo would ask for her that patronage which her
construction and light draught of water merits.
The Fashion is a homo enterprise and owned ex
clusively by Capt T.N. Philpot (her commander)
and myself, whose entire attention will bo given to
the intorest of her patrons.
This boat was built in this city, and great care
has been taken in her construction to make her
worthy of tho trade for which she is intended.
Her capacity is about 2000 bales Cotton, hor
draught es wator only 13 inches, which will enable
her at all seasons of the year, to deliver her freight
promptly.
Her entire cargo will bo takon between decks,
which will not only prevent damago to goods in
case of snagging, but will add much to tho condi
tion of packages discharged from her. Mr. M. A.
Cohen is the agent of this line in Savannah, where
suitable wharves and warehouse havo been provi
ded in a central situation for the reception of Cot
ton, Merchandize, Ac.
The Fashion will run in connection with the
New York and Philadelphia steamship, polivering
goods at this point in five days from either of those
cities. JOHN A. MOORE.
