• ce the brittle of .San Jacinto, consisted
,' r tlie most part of predatory incursions.
Inch, while! they have been attended
•vjtli much of suffering to individuals,
, s .(j have kept the borders of the twa
countries in a state of constant alarm,
L aV e tailed to approach to any definite
V, u lt. Mexico has fitted out no tormid
,l,le armament by laud or by sea for the
;U },j,nation of Texas. Eight years have
lapsed since Texas declared her inde-
of Mexico, and during that
lime she has been recognised ns a sover
power by several of the principal
civilized states. Mexico, nevertheless
perseveres in her plans of reconquest,
f,|drefuses to recognise her independence
The predatory incursions to which I
have alluded, have been attended, in one
ustance, with the breaking up of the
courts of justice by the seizing upon the
Tersons of the judges, jury and officers of
he court, and dragging them along with
unarmed, and therefore non-combatant
itizens, into a cruel and oppressive bon
lage, thus leaving crime to go unpunish
ed and immorality to pass nil reproved.—
,4 border warfare is evermore to lie dep
■ecated. and over such tt war as has ex
ited for so many years between these
wo States, humanity has had great
ause to lament. Nor is such a condi
ion of things to l>e deplored* only be
:ause of Hie individual suffering attend
ed upon it. The effects are fur more
extensive. The Creator of the Universe
has given man the Earth for his resting
ilace, and its fruits for his subsistence.
iViiatever, therefore, shall make the first
3r any part of it a scene of desolation,
affects injuriously his heritage, and may
ho regarded as a general calamity. Wars
may sometimes lie necessary; but all
nations have a common interest in brilig
n;rr them speedily to a close. The Uni
1, and States have an immediate interest in
seeing nn end put to the stale of hostility
existing between Mexico and Texas.—
They "are our neighbors, of the, same
continent, with whom we are not only
desirous of cultivating the relations of
amity, but of the most extended commcr
na! intercourse, and to practise all the
rights of a neighborhood hospitality.—
Our own interests are deeply involved in
the matter, since however neutral may
bo our course of policy, we cannot hope
r > escape the effects of a spirit of jealousy
on the part of both of the powers. Nor
con this Government be it different to
tilt; fact that a warefare, such as is waged
between those two nations, is calculated
to weaken both powers, and finally Jp
render them, and especially the weaker
[>fthe two, the subjects of interference
o:i the part of stronger and more power
ful nations, which, intent only on ad
vancing their own peculiar views, may
sooner or later attempt to bring about a
uiuplinnce with terms, alike derogatory
to me nation granting them and detri
mental to the interests of the United
.Suites. We could not lie expected quiet
i; to permit anv’such interference to our
disadvantage Considering that Texas is
separated from the UnitcdbStates by a
more geographical lino, that her territory
iu the opinion of many, harmed a portion
of the territory of the United States, that
it is homogeneous in its population and
pursuits with the adjoining States, makes
contributions to the commerce of the
world in die same articles with them,
mid that most of her inhabitants have
been citizens of the Unitee States, speak
the same language and live under similar
political institutions with ourselves, this
Government is bound by every conside
ration of interest as well as of sympathy,
to see that she shall be left free to act,
especially in regard to her domestic af
fairs, unawed by to ice, and unrestrained
by the policy or views of other countries.
In full view of all these considerations,
the Executive has not hesitated to ex
press to die Government of Mexico how
deeply it deprecated a continuance of the
war, and how anxiously it desired to
witness its termination I cannot but
think that it becomes the United States,
as the oldest of the American Republics,
to hold a language to Mexico upon this
subject of an unambiguous character.—
It is time that this war had ceased.—
There must he a limit to all wars; and
if the parent State, after an eight years
Struggle, has failed to reduce to submis
sion a portion of its subjects standing out
in revolt against it, and who have not
only proclaimed themselves to be inde
pendent, but have been recognised as
such by other Powers, she ought not to
expect that other nations will quietly look
on, to their obvious injury, upon a pro
traction of hostilities. These United
Statesthrew off thesr colonial dependence
and established independent Govern
ments; and Great Britain, after having
wasted her energies in the attempt to
subdue them fora less jieriod than Mexi-
co has attempted to subjugate Texas, had
the wisdom and justice to acknowledge
their independence, thereby recognising
the obligation which rested on her as one
of the family of nations. An example
thus set by one of the proudest as well
as most powerful nations of the earth, it
could in no way disparage Mexico to
imitate. While, therefore, the Executive
would deplore any collision with .Mexico
or any disturbance of the friendly rela
tions which exist between the two coun
tries, it cannot permit that Government
to control its policy, whatever it may l>e,
towards Texas ; but will treat her as by
the recognition of her independence the
United Slates have long since declared
they would do, as entirely independentof
Mexico. These high obligations of pub
lic duty may enforce from the constituted
authorities of the United States a policy
tvliich the course persevered in by Mexi
co will have mainly contributed to pro
duce ; and the Executive, in such a
contingency, will with confidence throw
itself upon the patriotism of the People
to sustain the Government in
of action.
Measures of an unusual character have
recently been adopted by the Mexican
Govemment calculated in no smali de
gree to affect the trade of other nations
with Mexico, and to operate injuriously
to the United States. AM foreigners by
a decree of the 23d day of September, and
after six months from the day of its pro
mulgation, are forbidden to carry on the
business of sidling by retail any goods
within the confines of Mexico. Against
this decree our Minister has not failed to
remonstrate.
The trade heretofore carried qp by our
citizens with Saute Fe, in which much
capital was already invested, and which
was becoming of daily increasing impor
tance, has suddenly been arrested by a
decree of virtual prohibition on the part
of the Mexican Government. Whatever
may be the right of Mexico to prohibit
any particular course of trade, to the citi
zens or subjects of foreign powers, tnis
late procedure, to say the least of it, wears
a harsh and unfriendly aspect.
The instalments on the claims recent
ly settled by the Convention with Mexi
co have been punctually paid as they
have fallen due, and our Minister is en
gaged in urging the establishment of a
new commission in pursuance of the
Convention for the settlement of unad
justed claims.
Mlie fiscal and monetary affairs of the
country. And the accounts and esti
mates of the current year are briefly al
luded to in the message, as follows:
“The receipts in the Treasury for the !
calendar year 1813, exclusive of loans,!
were little more than eighteen millions of
dollars; and the expenditures, exclusive!
of payments on the public debt, will have ■
been about twenty-three millions of dol- j
lars. By the Act of 1542, anew ar
rangement of the fiscal year was made,
so that it should commence on the first
day of July in each year. The accounts
and estimates for the current fical year, |
will show that the loans and Treasury
notes made and issued before the close ot
the last Congress, to meet the anticipa
ted deficiency, have not been entirely
adequate. Although on the first of Oc
tober last, there was a balance in ihe
Treasury in consequence of the provis
ion thus made of $3,914,082 77, yet
the'appropriations already made by Con
gress will absorb that balance, and leave
a probable deficiency of (wo millions of
dollars at the close of the present fiscal
year. There are outstanding Treasury
notes "to about the amount of four milli
ons six bund red thousand dollars; and
should they be returned upon tbe Trea
sury during the fiscal year, they will re
quire provision for their redemption. I
do not however regard this as probable
since they have obviously entered into
the currency of the country, and will
continue to form a portion of it, if the
system now adopted be continued.—Mite
loan of 1841, amounting to $5.G72,97G
88, fulls due on the Ist January. 1845,
and must be provided for or ppstponed
by anew loan. And unless the resour
ces of revenue should he materially in
creased by you, there will be a probable
deficiency for the service of the fiscal
year ejiding June 30th, 1815, of up
wards of about four millions of dollars.
The delusion incident to an enormous
ly excessive paper circulation, which
gave a fictitious value to every thing,
and stimulated adventure and specula
tion to an extravagant extent, has been
happily succeeded by the substitution of
the precious metals and paper promptly
redeemable in specie, and thus false
values have disappeared, and a sounder
condition of things has been introduced.
Thtttrunsitiou, although intimately con
nected with the prosperity of the coun
try, has nevertheless been attended with
much embarrassment to the Government,
in its financial concerns. So long as
the foreign importers could receive pay
ment for their cargoes in a currency of
greatly less value than that in Europe,
hut fully available here in the purchase
of our agricultural productions, their
profits being immeasurably augmented
by the operation, the shipments were
large and the revenues of the Govern
ment became superabundant. But tbe
change in the character of the circula
tion from a nominal and apparently teal
value, in ihe first stages of its existence,
to an obviously depreciated value in its
second, so that it no longer answered
the purposes of exchange or barter, and
its ultimate substitution by a sound me
tal ic and paper circulation combined,
has been attended by diminished impor
tations, and a consequent falling oil in
the revenue. This lias induced Con
gress, from 1537, to resort to the expedi
ent of issuing Treasury notes, and final
ly of funding them, in order to supply
deficiencies. I cannot, however, with
hold the remark that it is in no way com
patible with the dignity of the Govern
ment, or that temporary expedients
should he resorted to an hour longer than
it is possible to avoid them. The Exe
cutive can do no more than apply the
means which Congress places in its
hands for the support of Government;
and happily for the good of the country
and for the preservation of its liberties,
it possesses no power to levy exactions
on the people, or to force from them con
tributions to the public revenue in any
form. It can only recommend such mea
sures as may, in its opinion, lie called
foa by the wants of the public service,
to Congress, with whom alone rests the
power to “lav and collect taxes, duties,
imposts, and excises.” This duty has
upon several occasions heretofore been
performed. The present condition of
things givesa flattering promisethnt trade
! and commerce are rapidly reviving, and
I fortunately for the country, the sources
of revenue have only to be opened, in
order to prove abundant.”
President Tyler’s views on the aliena
tion or distribution of the proceeds ac
cruing from the sales of the public lands
i are sound and in unison with the opin
j ions of the Democratic Republican party
1 of the country.
While we can anticipate no considera
ble increase in the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands for reasons perfectly
obvious to all, for several years to come,
yet the public lands cannot otherwise
than lie regarded as the foundation of
the public credit. With so large a body
of the most fertile lands in the world un
der the control and at the disposal of the
Government, no one can reasonably
doubt the entire ability of the Govern
ment to meet its engagements under ev
ery emergency, in seasons of trial and
difficulty similar to those through which
we are passing, the capitalist makes his
investment in the Government stocks
with the most assured confidence of ul
timate reimbursement; and whatever
may be said in a period of great financial
prosperity, such as existed for some
years after 1833, I should regard it as
suicidal in a season of financial embar
rassment. either to alienate the lands
themselves, or the proceeds arising from |
their sales. The first and paramount
duty of those to whom may he entrusted
the administration of public affairs, is to
guard the public credit. In re-estahlish
nig the credit of this Central Govern
ment, the readiest and most obvious
mode is taken to restore the credit of the
States. The extremities can only lie
made-sound by producing a healthy ac
tion in the Central Government, and the
history of the present day fully establish
es the fact, that an increase in the value
of the stocks of this Government will, in
a majority of instances, be attended by
an increase in the value of the stocks of
s the States. It should, therefore, be a
i matter of general congratulation that a
| midst all the embarrassments arising
from surrounding circumstances, the cre
dit of the Government should have bqen
I so fully restored that it has been enabled
j to effect a loan of seven millions of dol
i lars to redeem lhat amount of Treasury
notes, on terms more favorable than any
, that have been offered for many years.—
And the six per cent. slock which was
j created in 1812, has advanced in the
hands of the holders to nearly twenty
per cent, uliovc its par value. Tbe con
fidence of the people in the integrity of
their Government has thus been signal
ly manifested. These opinions relative
to the public lands do not in any manner
conflict with the observance of the most
j liberalqwflicy towards those of our fellow
| citizens*\vho pres forward hit the wil
derness and are the pioneers in the work
of its reclamation. In securing to all
j such their rights of pre-emption, thcGo
! vernmeut performs hut an act of retribu
tive justice for sufferings encountered
and hardships endured, and finds ample
remuneration in the comforts which its
policy ensures and the happiness which
it imparts.
Should a revision of the tariff, with a
view to revenue, become ueces ary in
the estimation of Congress, f doubt not
j you will approach the subject \vith a just
j and enlightened regard to the interests
jof the whole Union. The principles
and views which I have heretofore had
occasion to submit, remain unchanged,
j 1 can, however, never be too often re
: peated, that the prominent interest of e
■ very important pursuit of life, requires
I ibr-success, permaneucy and stability in
•legislation. These can only be attained
| by adopting os the basis of action, mod
eration in all things, which is as indis
pensably necessary to secure the harmo
nious action of the political as of the ani
mal system. In our politiyal organiza
tion, no one section of the country should
desire to have its supposed interests ad
vanced at the sacrifice of all others: but
Union being the great interest, equally
precious to all, should be fostered and
sustained by mutual concessions and the
cultivation of that spirit of compromise
from which the Constitution itself pro
ceeded.
President Houston.
Denies that he is engaged in any trea
sonable conspiracy to deliver Texas to
Great Britain. We make the following
emphatic extract from a rambling inco
herent speech he has recently delivered.
But the full measure of the offence—
the “head and front”—is to he foiiud in
charges emanating from high authority.
"1 had received a bribe—l was to sell
my country to England—l was to he
Governor-General of Texas.” And all
this for five thousand pounds sterling !
What ! sell my country for British gold ?
1 question very much, my friends,
whether England would have ns, if she
could get us. To my mind it is clear
that Hngland does not care about the
abolition bf slavery She has destroyed
her West India possessions by its aboli
tion there ; and she knows very well
that a slave population will develope Ihe
resources of anew country in one-eighth
of the time it would take by lree labor.—
The superior quality of our productions,
and the advantages that England might
derive from osiu various ways, are strong
inducements to her to lend us her aid at
this juncture; notwithstanding the op
position of the fanatics who clamor for
the universal abolition of slavery. Men
who have accumulated ond-half their
fortune, in the African slave trade—who
sinned against high heaven until they
feared to call down its just vengeance
upon their heads, and then bethought
themselves lhat some atonement must lie
made to appease the Great Author ot re
ligion ami virluf). lienee it was lhat
they became fanatics, and “ ail the world
must be free!”
Lord Aberdeen says whatever can be
done “ honorably and legitimately,” will
be done. England has a right to make a
proposition, and we have a right to reject
it. But there is no talk of interference.
England will not attempt to exercise
force. If jrersuasion will not do, force
will not he tried. What lias England
done against this country*? Why, for
sooth, we are to be sold to h«r ! England
is to swallow us up ! We are all to be
sold, a parcel of slaves turd beggars, to
English mercy! England don’t want
you, in my opinion, gentlemen ! She
lias agreat many mischievous and unruly
subjects to govern already; and if she
had Texas in addition she would be glad
to get rid of us.

Which of his Opinions?
Twelve months ago, George W.
Orawtord, a member of the inquistorial
committee who examined the Central
Bank, published a “Supplemental Re
port,” in which he stated he was “ clear
in the conviction that the Bank was
wholly and utterly incapable of accom
plishing any of the purposes of its crea
tion, and hopelessly deprived of the
means by' which its circulation can be
sustained, unless by taxation.”
Such was the opinion of Mr. Craw
ford, wlien he had spent some weeks in
the examination of the affairs of the
Bank and was struggling to put down
the institution, to render odious to the
people, those wdio administred its affairs,
and to deprive the Democratic party of
its power. lie is now unexpectedly
foisted into the hiest office in the State,
and lo and behold, a change has come
over his opinion. In his communica
tion of the 20th ult., which we published
last week, he recommends the issue of
certificates bearing 8 per cent interest, to
lie redeemed in eighteen months or so 'ti
er, at the will of the Bank ; and expresses
the opinion, “that within that ti e the
Central Bank will have realised an a
mwtnt of its assets fully adequate to
discharge this class of its liabilities
Verily' the Governor has changed liis
opinion! Now, he will not turn loose
on the people the tax-gatherer, with or
ders to take up the bills of the Central
Bank ! The monster is not so rotten,
now that he is Governor !!
it is obvious that the issue of the eigh
teen month certificates recommended by
the Governor would he au alteration of
the law too trivial to have justified a
a special communication. The bonds
at five years, which are now issued to
every' applicant under the act of 1849,
bear the: same interest he recommends
and are payable “sooner at the option of
the State.” Between this and the certifi
cates he advises, there is scarcely a shad
ow of difference. But in other parts of
this communication a vefy strong and
dqcidcd meaning may be traced. Its
whole purpose, is to order the strongest
measures against the debtors of the Bank.
They may look out for squalls! And
we will add, that should his views be
carried out, the assets of the Central Bank
may present a s|»ectacle of expense waste
and loss, corresponding with the oppres
sion thrown o:i its debtors.— Federal
Union.
Repudiation.
The Mobile Herald has an anecdote on
this subject, too good to be lost- A mer
chant of Mobile, and an American by
birth, was recently on a visit to Liver
pool where a branch of his house was
established, the head of which was a
Scotchman. At a dinner given by his
partner, a number of merchants at .and cap
italists were present, and though the Mo
bilian, made. great efforts to avoid any
discussion in reference to American se
curities, yet, as the old codgers at the
table, the majority of whom were from
good old Scotia, insisted upon the matter,
he was compelled to listen to their long
tirades against repudiation. In answer
to their assaults heobserved that only one
State had Repudiated and that was Mis
sissippi. Inquiry was made how she
happened to stand alone in this matter?
—the Mobilian replied that they had a
very curious man for Governor, named
McNutt, but that he was not an Ameri
can. The whole company demanded
his birth place. “ Why,” said the Mo
bilian, “ he is a most obstinate and cross
grained old Scotchman,” After a broad
Took at each other, the conversation im
mediately turned upon other subjects 1
llobbis -nvs the Natural stale or linn is War.
His theory seems true, as far as Mexico
is concerned, for during the present gen
eration we have never heard that the
people of that country were at perfect
peace among themselves, or with any
body else. Santa Anna, it appears, is
getting ready to fight Yucatan and Tex
as ; while he intends to send an army of
convicts to cut a canal to unite tho two
great oceans. He had better cut the
ditch and let fighting alone.
Affecting.
A judge recently, while passing sen
tence of death on acriminal, was so much
affected, that he, several times became
incapable of articulation. Alter he had
finished the sentence, lie requested the
members of the bar and others in the
court-rootn to rise, while he petitioned,
in a most solemn and eloquent prayer the
Throne of Grace, in-behalf of the crimi
nal. This happened in Alleghany coun
ty. Md.— Saiidersville Telescope.
