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 again, on the evening of the 1st Tuesday in June next. . On motion, the meeting then adjourned. CHAS. J. McDonald, Chairman. Wm. G. Smith, 1 Jons Rutherford, i Secretaries. J- C. Edwards, \ 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.

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

Mr. Burns resided several years in tlie City of Raleigh. He it a blacksmith, aod withal a bold, 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. HUGH BURNS.
