I have also another plan. It is to pre

ject is to buy up the debts due on Irish i
estates and the plan is most pro uising.

That wliiist we refloat-to the people of

that we never will and • ist fiom tiie legal

Asa confedertrte, t Virgin should yield
jco upliatice with federal author ty. 'only
to the extent of her constitutional obliga

dence, and safety of tliis limitation. Rut
as I believe tint the States hi ve delega

mate power of regu atmg *■ the times,
pines and wanner of holding elections’’
, for Representatives in t engress, and ns
fhatjjower has, in j art, been exercised
comj iance with it, is only fidelity to a,
constitutional engagement.
Ii is, moreover, a niMsure, whose ten
deucy i- to ensure to that branch of the
f dent I legislature, organ.zition and pre

whereby he is presumed more certainly
to know and recol cct lh. ir w ishes and

power lietween tiie Itirger tmd smaller
Stales :—and as the larger States have,
from motives of convenience or good
faith, conformed to its requirements, the
smaller and recusant States have every
inducement to do likewise.
A people, whose industrial pursuits
are chiefly confln and to the production of
a few great staples, so bulky and cum
brous as not to permit an ea--y exchange ;
for other commodities of general use and ;
necessity, are peculiarly interested in a
sound currency As the representative !
and value of thnir labor, if it lie not equal !
to the estahlislnd standard, to that extent
will lie their loss. Whatever therefore,
that is depreciated or vicious in our cir
cu’atitig medium, shoti and he efl’ectuaily
corrected or legally suppressed.
• On this subject, the people of these
States have been taught by expedients
and experiments the safety of adhering to
a tried and approved system. A stern
necessity—the result of a sad experience
admonishes them to abandon the pur
suit of new and gi'd and schemes, and fall
hack into the ancient ways of the Repub
lic.
The power of taxation should neither
be timid v nor recklessly used Adopt
ing as a basis that the snpp’y should he
restricted to the pul lie want, and that
this supply shou’d be apportioned on the
principle that “equality is equity,” we
may expect, that sooner or later, popular
approval will he added to the consolation
ot having performed our duty. A Go
vernment of choice is to one awaken
pride. To this feeling, properly cher
ish. and, every patriotic apj eal may be suc
cessfully made—avery emergency—ev
ery peril will be met with its appropriate
sacrifice. Let us then seek to to i. et
only that which is necessary to the pub
lic service, and eon dent'y rdv tinder
the influence of this feeling, that the sup
ply will he cheerfully granted : but et

to supply the wants of the morrow. A

hope that this-policy w ill not be pushed
to a sacrifice oi this great work. Asa

Important ht fell iv erne from Washing
ton -Diji: titles in the Cabinet.
Last evening we received some rather
interesting intelligence from onr private
correspondent a Washington, disclosing
ruinous of difficulties, differences’, and
debates in the cabinet, on certain ques
tions of deep interest to the relations of
the Union with certain foreign powers,
It appears from the most authentic ac
counts we ran get, that these difficulties
in the cabinet have grown out of the pre
parations taken to throw into form the
next message to Congress.
t >tir re'ntions w ith England and Tex
as. growing out ot the slave question,
and the probable ad uission of the, latter
State info the Union, are the principal
knotty points which have agitated the
cabinet. E.r'y hist sunnier Mr. An
drews was s. tii Iron Texas to England,
by die n! o' it ion interests of that new
State, for the purpose of making some
arrangement w ith Eng ami, looking to
the al o it ion ofs'averyin 'Texas, and to
form it inton Souther t counterpoise to the
U. States.—This agent from Texas had
several interviews Inst summer w itliLoid
Aberdeen. The plan proposed to the
British government was, to form a soci
ety in England, whieli wou'd advance a
sum equal to tiie value of all the slaves
in Texas, security to he given in public
lands—the Texan Government agreeing
to pay over the money to the owners,
and then to abolish slavery in Texas.—
Lord Aberdeen agreed -to guarantee the
loan, upon condition that'Texas should
he a free state, and extend particular fa
vors to British traders in tliat territory.
The rr;otiveso! the British government
for adopting such a police towards 'Tex
as were to give a Ifow to the Southern
States—to raise a riva l power iir'i’exas
to i ..pair the production of cotton, to
bacco, tmd lice in that region, and thus
to give an advantage to the cotton, rice,
and smaller productions of Brite h, India,
and their eo'otiies in the West Indies and
South America, including Texas.
In connection with thissu! j. ct, audio
further tin’s policy, it lias a’so been dis
covered that a'l the British ('omuls and
agents in the U. States, have been : eerrt
ly emgagn .1 form ne time past in collect
ing every species o ’ infor nat.on relative
to the slave population of the South
their number, feelings, character, ten
dencies. and canal ilities. 'The recent
accounts front T xa* stating that To -
sid nt Houston had entet and nijo an iu
t i ti * io ( e iu r TANARUS« xns to :| r Bri.i-b go
v< rum 'IP, are ato re.ha; ex .g ...I. ii ad
erroneous—the on y negotiaiiy is at pre
sent between 'Tex s tmd Mug atal D-.tig
wi at we have just stated ’.mi ait.-mpl to
make ii a thorn in the siile ot’the South
ern States.
• At the same time tliat these ree- nt ne
gotiations were going on li. iw.Mi Eng
land and Texas, an attempt war making
under the auspices of President Tvh r,
to open a negotiation with England for
anew commercial treaty on the most
eqmtable and honorable L i is. -But it
was soon ate. Haiti and that the IJridi gov
ernment was trifling with these overtures,
for the purpose oi carrying out the views
of the East India interests in Ktrghmd
w ith reg.ard to 'l’exa--. President Tyler
having recently di-covercd a I them sc
ent intrigues, and fer.niiiedgit once to take
high national and independent ground in
his next message to Congress—to pro
pose the annexation of Texas to the U.
States, provid dth it repuh ic de-ired it
--and to fling defiance into the teeth of
■ the British Government, w ho have I ecu
“paltering in a double sen- e” on commer
cial treaties, while its agents were cal
culating the chances ot disunion at.d dis
ruption in tbe South.
To the assumption of such higdi and
daring ground in the next tries age—a
position even more belligerent than Gen
era .1 cxson ever took cvrtain members
of the ca iuet have more or less object
ed. .Mr Upshur has supported the P.e
--s id< nt, I lit,mb. rs have eppo ed dr thw art
id his views.
'This is Mippost and to be the difliculty at
present agitating the cabin.-t—aifo a tew
weeks will, reveal its accuracy, effects
and consequences on public opinion.
It certain members of the cabinet do
not give in their adhesion to the views of
the message, we have every reason to
believe that a re-con struct ion of the Cab
inet will take place in less than two
months. Great changes will be made in
foreign mini ters, and other officials.—
It is snppo-ed that the President wiii in
vite John G. Caihotiu to the cabinet, send
Air. Upshur to England* Mr. Wise to
France, and change several nigh officers
iu New York.
In Midi a view’ of the case, Presid mt
Tyler’s next message to t ’ongre-s wi 1 he
one ot the boldest coups Ur tat that ever
, was attempted in Washington, lie will
propose a most important treaty w iili’l’e.x
as—even her admission into the Union,
it dial republic desires it. He will pro
pose ii f’.iir and equitable eominerem trea
ty w ith England, or fling defiance in her
face before the world. 1. the latter po i
!cy shoti (1 be .adopt.d, the President will
place the Li. * ates at tl e head oftllegrcat
j movement ol reform and revolution in
Eng and, Ireland, France, and all Eu
rope. \\ hat the President and his cabi
net may determine ou these points wh.it
and (Acuities may take place in these
consultations, a few short days or weeks
may determine. At a I events, Mr. Ty
ler is going to assume the responsibility
of a great movement—and if he takes the
bold and daring cour-e to preserve the
influence and ieceuduncy oi this repub
lic. we shall clierfully, eiitlut iasticady,
and warmly support him. Let him show
his hand.
