Tex is i-4 divide 1 by deserts, moun tains, and great rire r * from Mexico: hence the stream of emigration which populated Texas, flowed ns naturally from the United States, as the rivers of tb it region run into ths Mississippi. Tiiu* Texas became an American, instead of a M rxican colony, nml hen was lost by revolution lo Mexico, more readily (ban Mexico to Spain. If revolution legitimately maJe Mexico independent of Old Spain, it lias m ide Term equally independent of Mexico. The reco-. rition of ils in.lependcnce by the great nations of the world, places it, in this rerpect. in the same post-ire with Mexico. If Spaiaor Mexico ever acquired tide to Texas by the trea ty negotiated by Mr. Adams, it his been lost by conquest. The present po.sessors of the territory have a tight to dis pose of it. They ask to remit it to its rights as a portion cf the Union; an 1 they claim for themselves ihetr birthright *>£ American eitixens. If the Union could be despoiled of this fair terri tory by diplomalic treachery or imbecility, may not the val or and patriotism of people of our own lineage, and who *hed their youthful blood in rhe defence of the U. Stales against England, teatore it lo us? If Mr, Webster, in the infancy nf Maine, had held the diplomatic poaition which enabled him to surrender recently a considerable ponion of its territory to Great Britain, and bad then surrendered all that constituted the prrjent Stile—if its hardy people had afterwards risen in vindication of their inheritance, recnn quered the territory, and obtained a general recognition of their independence of Greai Britain—if Aliev had then pre- ■Bated themselvej loibegovernment of the Union, and de manded readmission—il they pointed to the treaty of - P3. and the bounJary insrked on the map by the hand of the King of Great Britain, as the boundary ol the Union, and •aid, “We asaertoor birthright to the political institutions of our country, and ask that Maine, as acquired by our rev oiutiorary fathers, should be again embraced as a member of liie conlVJe-*Cy”—ia there any one who would deny th right of the Union to receive her? Tne rcannexatirm of Texas now presents precisely this question for decision The right to alienate any Territory of the Union may well beden’ad. The right to aasenl to its restoration, when of. fered by those wboliave power to make it, cannot be dis puted. But i: is no; nur intention to argue the right of the govern mem of the Unite t States to readmit n territory once its own, to its original rights: our object ia merely to present the aspect which this question of reannexation wears to ns. Ilia objected, however, that our relations with Mexico furbid ail acceptinie of the proposals of Texas fot readinis- •ion. We are at peace with Mexico, and have trea'ies which il isauid we must violate in taking into the Union a State at war with Mexico. Tfns viaw was just when the first propositions from Texas f“r admission were made, then, there was actual war between Mexico and Texas; n.w, there ii not ; audio allow that Mexico, without force or means to further prosecute a war on Texas, shall, by mere proclanistion of hostilities, excommunicate Texas from the pale of unions ami take usray the right of fnriningcnn- nexions with them, would he to admit the power of a mere paper blockade. Neveriheleas, it ia proper, if possible, that the consent of Mexicoahould bo conciliated to any ar rangement we may make with Texas. It is due to oarim icable relations with her, to our honor, and to nur interests The imputation of bad faith lias been cast upon the United Stale* for a supposed connivance with the emigrants to Texas in iheir ellurta to throw off the yoke of Mexf n. This was unjust. Gen. Jackson with his accustomed probity, took every precaution to prevent any interference on the part of the United Mates in the struggle. Of this. Presi dent Santa Anna became satisfied in this city; and it is right that the good faith of the United States should he pre fer red from suspicion in every stage of the proceedings be tween Mexico and Texas. Although, at the time that Pres ident Sams Anna was here, he could hold out no prospect of obt doing immediately the consent ol his nation lo the in depend coco of Texas, yet be told Gen. Jackson that he was himself convinced that Texas “was hut a broken winglo Mexico;” “that it would tie a mere incumbrance and hin drance until lopped off." He added, however, that the circumstances under which he returned to his country, and the temper of the public mind there, would render him una ble to preas hisopini ins successfully. Eight years of expe rience has verified the forecast of Santa Anus. Texas has been, ever since, an oppressive burden to Mexico. There is ground, therefore, to suppose that a proposition to Presi dent slants Anns—auain in authority and pre eminent in p ipularity—having for its object a re- e rat on of the United ot iiev to their origmsl limits, would be favorably received. A full and fair equivalent to Me xico for any airrificeshr raicht in.tke. would be cheerfully accorded by the people of the United States, for establishing the imp i-sable mountain and desert frontier between tie two nations. Provision might lie made for repressing the incurs ions of the savages end marauders which hanni those wi.ds.and pearerestored to the borders (neither si ie. wuich have hitherto bees the scene of violence and robbery.

The ere it obstacle to this happy arrangement will he found in ihe interposition of England to prevent it. We have it here now in the person of Mr, Paekenham. who was transfer-r J from Mexico to Washington, on a special mis sion. tii* moment the qersiion of the esannaxatmo of Texas was renewed. He h i* left a soccesssr in Mexico, no doubt well provided with instructions to co-operate there with his movements here. The preirxithat Mr. Paekenham comes to settle the Or- iae.

According to the law which ’atrs the right of discovery, the Ii.tion which finds and 1 - - r , is beid to I * on this subject. The preas everywhere, under Federal or British influence, indicates in its course the impulse it has received. It is clear that the whole power which England rallied against the Uninn, preparatory n the late war, ia to he again enlisted into iu service. We have had our first and second Pu lie war, and must now look forward to third, unless England, through the more insidious and pa cific form of an election, can render our government ■•lbser- vient to its interests. The policy of distracting and divid ing the Union will never be lost sight of by England; and whenever adequate preparations are made, promising a better success tosnme luture Hartford Convention, we will be again “kicked into a war” But it will not be a war our part for Texas or Oregon—but for the Canadas, and the vast region assigned to barbarism and her fur company for a dominion ; fir Newfoundland and the fisheries, and that seine of islands which are stretched around our southern coast, as a net for our commerce. As for Texas and Ore gon. tliev will be able to take care of themselves. By ex pelling England from our eominenr, and its selvage of isl ands. we may at last feel free. A* it i«. no American ran pass out of his portal without being challenged by a British sentinel. There are some minor difficulties which we see touched in the press, which require anmr notice. It ia aaid that Mr. Tyler has broached this question merely with a view t.i his personal interests as apolitical speculator; and that holders of Texas scrip, and others interested in her land, are at the bottom of the movement. With us, these con siderations have no weight. There ia no great public inter, est that could be promoted, if the circumstance that selfish individuals associated private and sinister ohjerts with it. were made a bar to the advancement cf the public weliare. More importance is due to the suggestion that the President, by a treaty negotiated in secrecy, cannot properly take an irrevocable step in regard to the introduction of another fiwte into the Union. Ws think that the reannexation of Texas must have the sanction of the representatives of the people in the Congress of both countries. Stales nnw-a day a are not held by the cliiel magistrate, like wsrds under the feudal system. They cannot he married oB by theirpuar- diins without consulting tie parties. The consent of the people of the United States ami of Texas should be obtained fot this Union. But if the representatives in our own and the Texan Congress are fully satisfied that thrir ronsntu- enls are favorable to tbe connexion, we see no reason why the Union may not be immediately consummated.

The fact upon which they rely principally, to defend the cause of protection, is that under the op eration of the Tariff of 1842, the prices of manufac tured goods have diminished. So they have, but not as an effect of the Tariff but in despite ofit.— Tiie cause of the cheapness of goods, depends on two very important facts, which they omit entirely to explain. These are, 1st. The increased value of the Currency! 2d. The great improvement in the science of Chemistry and the Mechanic Arts, as applied to the Honor to whom honor it due. On Monday, the Q2d, Mr. McKay, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, renewed his | -process of manufacturing ! motion, that the House resolve itself into a Coin- j The important causes, which have produced the mittee of tlie Whole on the State of the Uninn, for happy effect of cheapening goods, are studiously the purpose nf taking up the Tariff bill.

Every Whig in the House, voted against taking up the bill, except the Hon. A. H. Chaypell, of Georgia. It is pleasing to the po iiical wayfarer, amid th its tenant. It requires talent and great mental resources, be sides a profound knowledge of tile gullibility of hu man nature, to defend such a cause asthe Whigsof Georgia have adopted, while the Democratic cause is a complete panoply to those who wear it. and can he successfully maintained by any ABC pul itician, who has sufficient industry to study ils plait precepts.and can discriminate between truth and its opposite. _ As we bate “other fish to fry,” the editor may not hear from us again soon, and we leave itim will the assurance that our equanimity has not been in terrupted in onr intercourse, ami if we have dis turbed his, it was only in good humor and not in tentional. . these causes, fire made cheap, and but for the pro hibitory chatacterof the Tariff, the prices would be far'bclow even the present rates, cheap as thev may be.

If the laborer now gets hut one dollar, or only 75 cpnts a day for his work, he finds every article of subststenre and clothing, reduced iu price, to n rate to a. lies pond with Iu3 wages.— Tlie pay of operatives in factories, hears its exact proportion to the value of the currency, a*ul the price of the raw material is equally low, and, of course, the goods manufactured, must bc cheapened accordingly. Does not this account, sati-*fnctotily, for the cheapness of goods now, when compared with the year 1836. Every dollar now, will buy as much ns three dollars would then; so there is no mystery or legerdemain in the diminution nf prices. The only operation the Tariff of 1842 hnsu|<on pri ces now, is to keep them from coining some 40 per cent, lower, ntjton an avernge; nnd ujtoti the coarser giHxIs, much lower than even that reduction. But tiiere is another powerful agent daily at wotk. to enable the manufacturer lo sell his fabrics citcaper. Every improvement in Chemistry, which tenches him some new affinity of colors, enables him to dye his cniicoes and nmslins nt less cost; ami he can, ol course, sell them cheaper. Every discovery in motive power, every improvement in the construction of the minutest machinery, enables him to dispense with a ci rrespnndingamou.it ot hu man labor, and he is enabled to sell his goods, so produced, at less than former rates, when the cost of every step of their progress, until having drawn their hood-winked followers, so far, they are now • emboldened to come out and avow their destina tion. They now openly advocate a Tariff for pro tection, and are now prepared (o hurl political ex communication against any one sufficiently honest to differ with" them. Although of n different party, we have always regarded Col. Chappell as a man of stern integrity, in private 1 fe, nnd loo honest to stoop to derelic tions fioni truth and duty, as a politician, that he would scorn ns n man. And although zealous as we have ever hern, in maintaining wl.at we con sidered correct principles of Government, we have Anaexali«a of Texas On questions of interest before the country, it is the prerogative of every portion of tlie people to ex pies* their opinions. While we read the sage re flections of Gen. Jackson, from his quiet home, on tfie importance of Annexation to the United States,, in a military ami political point of view, and hear the well digested views of experienced statesmen on the subject, let us not disregard the fresh fetvor af young manhood, offering up tiie first fruits of patriotism. At a meeting nf the Democratic Young Men of Bibb, on the 24th inst.. tlie following Reso'utions were proposed nnd unanimously adopted. We like them because of that patriotism they indicate, which begins at home, and radiates nbroad ; is wanner at the centre than at the eitcumfcrence. Resolved, That the Annexation of Texas to the Union, is a subject of the deepest interest to every portion of this great Confederacy; and to tlie South ern States, it is in point of importance, para mount to every such consideration as the political ascend anev of nnv tnnn or party of men. Resolved, That we will greet the dav when Tex ns is made a Stale of this Union, as giving, to lit. Soutli nit impregnable barrier, to ward nflf British aggressions on her most vulnerable frontiers, and as ensuring to us peace am! prosperity. And we will view the refusal of tfie proposition of Annexa tion as a calamity, and cannot look upon those who may be instrumental in causing it, as friends to us or tlie South. We copy the following.ftom the Globe on the subject: Rrannnnlitn of Teiaa.

And but for tlie operation of their Tariff*of 1842, in excluding a fair competition, tint present prices would now be some 40 per cent, lower than they are. This is another fact worthy of consideration.
