Adjourned Bibb Texas TOrcling.
In compliance with n resolution, adopted at a
public meeting of those favorable to the Annexation
of Texas to the United States, held on th* evening
nf the 17th. the meeting assembled again in the
Clav Club Room, on Monday evening, the 30th.
Being organized and called to order, Col. Seaborn
Jones was called for; who addressed the assembly,
in a speech over an hour in length. The points
alluded to by Col. Jones, relative to tlie various
treaties and propositions, heretofore entertained,
between the Governments of Spain, Mexico, and
the United Slates, were such as proved his inti
mate knowledge with the political history of tho*e
-Governments, in conjunction with the Annexation
nf Texas to the United States; and established the
fact, beyond the reach of successful contradiction,
that onr national fakh and honor would not I to far-
nished, by an immediate re-annexation, without the
.consent of Mexico. Col. Jones’ whole speech was
one which truly deserved the applause, by which
1te was so frequency interrupted, in the course of
Alls remarks.
Samuel M. Strong, Esq. was then called for—
who, in a speech of near an hour in length, inter
ested Ids hearers, by the zeal and ardour he evin
ced in ihe cause, and the commanding eloquence
of Ids manner and style, llis allusion was loudly
applauded, to the fact, of his preference for Mr.
Clay over Mr. Van Buren, and his former attach
ment to the Whig Party; but riiat ho was ready,
and would sacrifice all attachments, all preferejtces,
and all prejudices in lovor of that man, who com
bined with adequate abilities and patriotism, views
favorable to the immediate re-anaexniion of Texas
to the United States, and fervently appenleJ to men
of every political cast, to throw off* the shackles of
party, unite in one commou mass, and rally around
the banner that embraced within its folds, the lone
star of Texas, in tho ntidst of our own bright con
stellation. He ably sustained the position, rttat the
immediate re-anoexntion of the Texian territory to
ours, involved no question of national virtue, and
that American honor would not be sullied, by the
immediate adoption of the pending Treaty.
Mr. S. advocated the cause of Annexation, net
only ns a Southern measure, involving the dearest
srtghts and interests of the slave-holding Stairs, but
as a great National measure, shewing the advan
tages that would result 10 the Notth and East, as
weli os to the South and West; and eloquently al
luded to the duty incumbent upon our Government,
to pmtrct, sustain, and cherisih those republican
principles, planted end matured within the borders
of Texas, by immediately adopting Leras one of
our grent Confederacy.
Mr. S. having concluded, the meeting adjourned;
and met again, in pursuance of a notice, on 1 ues-
tlay evening, the 21st, in the Court House.
Gov. McDonald was again called to the Chair.
The Resolutions introduced by the Committee,
at the meeting held on the evening of the 17th. be-
called up—Col. Henry G. Lmnnr, Gov McDon
ald, and Col. Powers, each spoke at length in sup
port of the Resolutions. Having concluded, Col.
Lamar moved their adoption; which motion was
unanimously earned.
On motion, it was
Rtsoivcd, That the citizens be requested to meet

COMMUNICATED.
PERRY, May 10,1844.
Dear Burnet:—You will remember that, in
my letter written some two months ago, T depreca-
" as ted Mr. Clay’s election to the Presidency, on the
ground of an entire change of policy in tlie admin
istration of the General Government, and a decided
advantage in favor of Federal, over Republican
principles- If the fears expressed in that letter,
need any addition to confirm me in pursuing a
course of opposition to Mr. Clay, it is to be found,
in overwhelming abundance, in his opposition to
the Annexation of Texas to the Union.
I confess to you. that, satisfied as I always have
been, to oppose a Protective Tariff*, on principle, 1
have troubled ntyselfbui little with the derails of
the tariff* law; the lucid speech of Mr. Woodbury,
recently delivered in the Senate, and the clear and
conclusive letter of Mr. Chappell, have shown me
the alarming extent of the oppression of the tariff*
act of 1842; and I undertake to say, that no south
ern man can read attentively the documents refer
red tc, without feeling that the act of 1842, is unjust
in its provision, oppressive in its operations, and un
constitutional in principle. For one, I feci under
great obligations to the gentlemen referred to, for
the able and satisfactory manner in which they
have exposed to view tlie frauds concealed in the
act of1842. There is one specious fnct referred to
by the supporters ef the act. which is at least calcu
lated to deceive—this is, that “ protection produces
a decline in the price of the article protectedand
this is referred to as a reason sufficient in itself to
justify the measure. Let U9 examine this fart—Tt
cannot be denied, that the price of any article is
governed by the demand and supply, or the desire
to purchase and the quantity in market to be sold.
Protection, excluding the foreign article from the
market, induces the manufacture of the article be
yond the demand; calls into existence a supera
bundance of manufacture, and consequently a de
cline in the price ; this seems to me to be conclu
sive; it is nor, then, a consequence springing out of
protection, but a consequence arising from the cu
pidity of the manufacturer, which produces the re
sult contemplated. Dependent, therefore, as this
result is upon the cupidity of the manufacturer, and
not on the measure of protection, it becomes uncer
tain and fluctuating, and ceases, after a brief and
temporary existence; the first impulse of protec
tion being over, and a supply of the article corres
ponding with the demand being produced, it attains
a price much above what the foreign manufactured
article may be procured at. This view of the sub
ject, but confirms me in my opposition to a Protec
tive Tariff; assutes me that I have been right in
that opposition heretofore, and admonishes me to
continue.
With regard to a United States Bank, it may
now be truly said, “ that is an obsolete idea.” Ex
changee certainly were never belter, if so good, and
well regulated as they are now; aod if wc can be
blessed with a further sliort suspension of ekliet
Stale or Federal legislation on the subject, the
w hole currency, now rapidly approaching a sound
nes9 and tegularity much to be desired, will soon
be in a like condition. Passing over the constitu
tional objection, then, to such an institution, and
looking at the expediency alone, we are convinced
that the chartering a United Slates Bank by Con
gress, would be unwise.
I like to have said, *• what do you think upon
tiie subject of the Annexation of Texas to the U-
Imporlnat CermpeaSracr.
The.correspondcnce between the Secretary of State and
tlie British Minister, iu to-Jav's paper, will arrest general
attention.
It will be seen bow easily Mr. Oalboun brushes away the
cobwebs of diplomacy, and astounds John Hud’s Envoy by
confronting him with the true meaning of his words.
The most amusing thing about the correspondence, if not
in tbe annals of diplomacy, is the fact, that subsequent to
•writinghis letter to Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Packenham has found
it necessary to write home to ascertain what construction
should be put on the letter—and whether or not his own
letter contains a •■denial” of the charges made by onr Gov
ernment.
Tlie riear-eyed Eagle is watching the Lion.—Maditoni-
an, 20th intt.
[We will publish the correspondence alluded to above,
in the next Telegraph.]
The last Richmond Enquirer contains a very decided and
able letter from Hon. Andrew Stevenson, (written April 21)
to the Committee of the Cincinnati Committee, opposed to
Annexation.
Mr. Stevenson declares his entire dissent from the opin
ions expressed in the Cincinnati resolutions, and advocates
with his usual ability the annexation of Texas. He remarks
—"We have nothing to do with Mexico in treating with the
Republic of Texas, and it would be idle to’iuppose, that in
receiving her into our Union, we give just cause of fair hos
tility either to tbe people or Government of Mexico. War,
therefore, with Mexico, so far from being inevitable, cannot
be regarded as remotely probably.”
To tbe question—Why should we desire annexation, Mr.
S. after stating that for us accomplishment he would face
all ronseauences and risk all dangers, replies—“By this
Union (with Texas) me take the surest means of fortify,
ing. not only Hu- great defences of liberty, and securing
the perpetuity of our glorious institutions, but ice ad
vance the cause offreedom.civilization and Christianity,
throughout this Western hemisphere, for all future lime."
Mr. Stevenson's letter though just published, was written
and sent to Cincinnati some days before the letters of
Messrs Clay, Van Horen, lienton, Ac., had been published
or their characters ascertained.—Sav. Georgian.

Has been paid to a gentleman, for buying Ticket Combina
tion 18, 20, 30, in Class No. 24. He advises all bis friends

The Tickling Trick.
On the day before the Mass Convention took place, a
crowd had assembled into one of the Hotels iu Baltimore,
and the discours, turning upon pickpockets, a gentleman
E resent placed his band upon his side pocket, said he kept
is money there, an.l defied any one to steal it from h m.
A few moments afterwards, this confident gentleman felt a
strange tickling in one of his ears. Taking nis hand off the
pocket containing his fuucis, he commenced rubbing his ear
lo allay the titillation, and just as be got through the opera
tion a friend came np and accosted him. At this moment
he felt a tickling in the region of the pocket, and placing his
hand where his pocket bonk should have been, ha found it
not. He bad been tickled ont of bis vigilance and bis pock
et book st the same time. On making a terrible noise, a
police officer, who happei ed to hear his boast a little while
before, remarked with great coolness—"Why, my dear sir,
the tickling trick is quire an old affair. The process is.
for one pickpocket to tickle the ear with a straw, while a
confederate obtains possession of the‘dummyas a pocket
book is called under such circumstances.”
nion?” but I will not ilo your judgment the injus
tice of even supposing you hesitate, after the abun
dant and conclusive evidence of the propriety and
necessity of the immediate ratification of the Trea
ty now pendin’ before the Senate, for that purpose.
We have the letter of Gen. Jackson, the letter of
Mr. Walker, the teport of Mr. In<;ersoll, the action
of the President and his cabinet, anil numerous and
unanimous large meetings of the pcop’e, without
respect to party, and the almost unanimous desire
of the people and Government of Texas, advising
and desiring this result. Iu these proceedings, this
vastly important measure has been examined in
every possible view, and contains r.o possible ob
jection, which docs not vanish upon the examina
tion of it. Nor will I suljecMnyself to a charge of
such, as to suppose that these patriots, statesmen,
and assemblages, lack the ability properly to ex
amine all the important questions involved in this
measure: nor yet, to such authority would I yield
a blind and passive obedience, but my own judg
ment is thoroughly anil perfectly convinced of the
propriety of a speedy ratification of the Treaty.—
Knowing your ardent and generous nature as I do,
I am certain you look with as much anxi-ty and
solicitude as any friend of the Union can, to the
speedy consummation of this question, in ratifica
tion. Ifthis was a mete question of the extension
of territory, a geographical enlargement of our
boundaries, we might well submit its settlement to
those to whom the Constitution and laws have con
fided such questions; but no such question presents
itself. Involved in this measure, are some of the
most important questions that have been presented
ionur consideration, since the Declaration of Inde
pendence; among these is, “Shall we have Tex-
ns or shall Great Britain have it?*’ What an im
portant question this, in every aspect in which it
can be viewed ?—how worthy the consideration of
our whole people?—more particularly when we
consider the steady, but insidious action of Great
Britain, in relation to a ceitain great southern inter
est, which it is her avowed policy to suppress and
extinguish throughout the world! This view of
the question brings it home to every southern man.
and makes it with him a question of patriotism and
interest; what southern man will hesitate, under
such circumstances? There may be some who,
under the cold calculations of place and power, oi
even under other worthier motives, satisfactory to
themselves, who will pause and feel undetermined;
for myself, I do not hesitate to say, that I desire an
immediate ratification of the Treaty; and, in view
of this, I am ready to act with those.of similar sen
timents. And further, I say, that no man who is
either against this measure entirely, oi desires its
postponement conditionally, will suit me as a can
didate for either President or Vice-President of the
United States. Respectfully,
Your nb’t. serv’t. and friend,

Interesting Details from Oregon.
Tbe following letter, addressed to the Editor oftbe Flatte
Eagle, from a gentleman—Hugh Burns—who went out to

intelligent, and persevering man. Here is tbe letter:
Falls of Willemktte, 7
Oregon Territory. Oct. 24, 1843. )
Esteemed Friend.—In the outset of my journey here.
I had great labor ami difficulty, but got along without acci
dent. or further lost than throwing away every thing I poa-
sessed, except my mules. But I arrived here aafe and in
good health, on the 28th of September of last year. We
encamped on the first night of our arrival on the banks of
•he Clat-kmus. When we stalled for this country I d>d not
intend to stsy, but then I knew nothing of Oregon. Bull
now tell you, friend McLane, that nothing enuia induce me
to leave this country and return, for here we have health
and every thing else that can render a reasonable man hap
py. When I first looked upon the falls here. I said to my
self. this is the place for me. There were then but four
houses; a company of settlers were building a saw-inill on
one side of Ro--k Islands in tbe city. They have since
built a large flouriog mill, and in place of four houses, we
have now fifty, and before tne first of May next, will be cne
hundred. This may seem mange, but it is true. Lots
that I was offered for five dollars, cannot now be bought for
one thousand dollars.
The country improves in like manner, for every man in
the colony worka hard. There is no new country in the
world that is in such a state of prosperity as Oregon. The
main reason is. we have no fire water here. I nave been
here one summer, and have had an opportunity of seeing
the harvest, which was the best I ever saw. I do wish I
could ■ end you a sample of the large, pretty white wheat of
this country. But in fart, every thing put in the gtound,
grows in like manner. There is no country like this for a
farmer, nor no place where a roan can live so easy.
We htd a meeting on tbe “ fourth" of July, to organise
and form a rode of laws, which was done.* and the Iowa
laws adopted. All civil officers and members of the Legis
lature, nine in number, were elected. So. if Uncle Sam
don't watch over us, we wilt do it ourselves.
A word fot tlie last company. Young Rogers, the prin
ter, son of Peter Rogers, Esq., aod tw i others, got here on
the 4ih inst.; Hyde and Dougherty shortly a fie-. If the
company would start as they should, they could all get here
by the 1st nf September. I hope you wifi tell them how lo
come. Each man should bring a good light wsgnn; nothing
in it but provisions, and of this • ut four times the amount
they use at home in four months. They should dispose of,
or burn, all their old stuff, which is tit for nothing no this
journey but to break tbe wagons and kill the animals. Good
oxen to the wagons. If they use the horses they bring in
this wav, they won’t get here. Not one out of fifty has got
here of horses used for draogh). There is no danger from
Indians at all The last company saw none in the moan-
tains. I would mention that John M. Cushing, of Newbury,
port, has a store here, and sends a ship here every tall. I
send this letter by one who sails for home to-mnrrow. My
regards to til. Tell our friends not to abandon us. Wo
are few, but we are Americans. Your friend.
