G ,XTLI»Il*-Yonr favor, wishing me to auerd a meet.
Z,h, friend, of Texian Annexation, came duly to hand.
i|dI regret, that a previou. engagement to attend a «m,.ar
.leting in Griffin, on the .am. day. will prevent , ue from
k ,;„jwith you on 'bat inteiealing occawon. ie V •
/i re-anion between Te... and our beloved Republic ..
, replete with the lirelie.. inter... to every on. who de-
U the pro.parity and happinea* of.be cnun.ry .nd to .il
inlov. the,V country more than they love ,he,r party,
ntho.. who love the black race better then the white,
would sacrifice all the right, and mtere.u of the white
i ., to .ecure emancipation for the black.; from tho.e
,90 had rather lee their favorite Candidate elevated to the
feiideney, than to tee their country rich, pro.perou*. and
. from all thoae. who. without being abolitionist,
^mielver. wiah to curry favor with that data and riak
j^jr political aalvation to obtain abolition votea for their
, |rt j. f r jm none but the*, have we any thing to fear, and
•'jok God, wa have none others to oppose.
Belli ('lay and Ven Buren have been as handsomely
taaghl is their owe craftiness, a. ever a couple of very tlip-
politician, were. Both were eager to purchase the
|< '.ary from Mexico when she and old Spain were at war,
I ,-J neither of them teems to have dreamed of our incurring
I .^displeasure of Spain, or that any national dishonor could
I ..„ out of the transaction. At the time Mr. Clay attempt-
I ,i w purchase from Mexico, Spain had a large military
I xt in the country, and actually, after that time, obtained
coni important advantages over the force* of Mexico.
jsJshen Mr. Van Buren sought to effect a similar pur-
.-siefrom Mexico, Spain and Mexico were itill actually at
and Spain was then fitting out in the Island of Cuba, a
, „rful and imposing force in orderto reconquer the Mex-
t ,s Republic—then, both acted like stateamen and friends
„ :heir country—then, abolition votes were not considered
tfiucli great importance as they are at present. But now,
s tbe astonishment and mortification of us ail. both these
Lawmen seem to be seized with qualms of conscience
iwt national honor, and with a quaking, and trembling for
idinfawar with Mexico if we ratify the trexty now be -
tuhe Senate, which secures and transfer* to us the Tex-
,,5 title. If there were forty title* to the country, we cer-
ji\ have the right, as an independent nation, to buy them
, ip severally, one at a time, or as might suit our conven-
jnct. But we hear the novel doctrine from the aagea if
I iiV.iuii and Lindeuwold, that the pnrchaae of one of sev-
ini conflicting titles necessarily, and ol right, muit place u;
ua hostile altitude towards the other conflicting claimant.
Tbe equally strange and absurd position, i* in effect as.
■awl—that, because two nations, acknowledged by one
(Lrrrninent to be aovereign and independent, are at war,
n that account we cannot trade with either, altliough we
;q«ae :o do so in good faith. In other word*, that a neu
ral power cannot purchase any thing from a belligerent na-
rn without the consent of tbe advrrssry. Gen. Santa An*
uimus, lately, to hare acquired many additional titles to
| uuity and respect. For eight years past, our countrymen
tiled him only a military usurper, a despot, a bloody ty-
nai; but now, as they contend, we cannot even make a pur-
data of a nation he is at war with without national disgrace.
Bat if ii be true, according to the doctrines sought to be ea-
tsbSUhed “in these latter days,” that a neutral power can_
»jt purchase from either of the belligerents, then we eanno t
parchase from Mexico or Texas, or from one without the
Itsre of the other. If tlieae doctrines be true, then my
caautrynien. let the star spangled banner, for the first lime,
b« furled in tbe dust, and then we must go on tbe bended
fare before the bloody uautper, the murderer of Fannin.
Tr«*i> and Ward, and say “By your leave, air, I wish to
cite a Hade with your ‘Province of Texa*.’”
Bat what is the nature, extent and validity of tbe title pur-
r.'ised from Texas T It ia a title derived originally from
S,>sin. unde' a grant to Col. Austin—a title again confirmed
the Mexican Emperor Iturbide, and reaffirmed by the
Mnican Republic after t'te exile of the Em|>eror—a title
solemnly guarantied by the Constitution of 1624, and by
ms uf the Mexican Congress—a title to the toil which rlie
frinns have acquired by reclaiming it from the wilderness
—it is theirs by purchase, theirs by regeneration, and theirs
t, adoption, and it ia moreover theirs by the law* of war,
«: conquest. and of successful revolution. That war and
that revolution terminated more than eight years ago. and
via fu.lv complete, and end»d ir. the battle of San Jacinto.
Isold,therefore, that Texas is an independent nation de
;>rc and dt facto, that alie may as such, make treaties, de-
c ire war. conclude peace, eouiract alliances, and do all
•ich other thing* as independent nations may of right do.
Taxaa now holds out the filial embrace to her father land,
fae cow proposes to return to u*. not like the prodigal son t
firing spent her substance in riotous living, but site pro
ems to surrender her sovereignty to us, with 136 miiiiona
unappropriated land, the fruiis of her labor, her industry.
«vi her enterprise, sealed with die blood of her brethren
rriher children, on the condition that we pny out of her
tataense resources, her Iriflirg debt, and spread tbe pro-
t:cna; mantle of liberty over her! Ought we to accept
bsr offer ? What she offers ua is her*—we are her near
busmen, bone of her bone and flesh of her flesh—and tbe
Treaty now before the United States Senate, would doubt
less be ratified but for tbe very unexpected opposition of
Messrs. Van Buren and Clay.
Let ibe people speak out on this subject—they will cry
slant) and spare not—let suitable agents be selected to carry
•si the populai will, let us have a suitable leader to bear
flag in the van of the contest, and my life on ir, thoae
»ho now set at nought the people's interest and the people's
cause muit auomil to the scorching* of popular indignation.
Tie "aiene. mtnc Itkrl upharsin," of tbe people’s wrath,
I be written on tbe wall, and thoae guilty Balshazars
*io trifle with the'people’s rights for the take of abolition
votes, must quake and tremble.
With my beat wishes for the harmony and success of

Iwidually. and thoae you represent,
I remain your friend, and servant.

FOR THE MACON TELEGRAm.
A SHn.1IO.\ I ItO.lt DOW, Sen.
Dear Beloved:—I propose, on the present oc
casion, to make you n great preachment from a
abort text, which you will finil recorded in many
places in the book of the acts of men. And ns
mankind at the present time, both in Church and
State, seem more bent on finding out the truth than
»ny thing else, I think there can be little doubt but
•bat I shall get great attention, whether I preach
knfi or short, much or little. *
And now, my beloved, my text is “Selfishness.”
^you have been much, my beloved, among the
Mechanic* °f °ur day, you must have heard a good
k*l said about mechanical powers, propelling
Powers, motive powers, and all such as that. Well,
’Hy beloved, all these powers, about which the Me*
tbtnics make so much noise, are condensed, con
ciliated, and contained in my text, I am sure,
®y beloved, you have heard a great deal said about
*«*rtain great man, that lived and flourished in
if'gone days, whose name has been handed down
^ W by grave historians, and whose acts have been
nhfully kept and recorded in history and oilier
Puns books, that you and I might profit by the ex-
•inples of this great man; but notwithstanding all
Haiti. W. B. Cost,
G. A. Wink,
8. W. Borkct.
N. W. Battle,
Beniah Pnc,
*ki*» and
Uke
notwithstanding you and I, my beloved*
great pride in imitating the examples set by
this tiuly great personage, yet, it must be confess
ed, my beloved, he had one fault. Well, and what
was that one fault ? Why. my beloved, he lacked
the propelling powers contained in my text:—He
lacked selfishness. You know, my beloved, that
the pious books that contain an account of this great
man’s deeds, tell us flat and plain that he was al
ways more ready to attend to other people’s busi
ness than his own—that he was always ready to
run errends for any man’s wife but his own—that
he would rather build stone fences for any man than
himself—that he would rather shuck any man’s
corn than his own coin; and besides all this,’tis
said he spent much time in learning the boys of
the village how to shoot marbles and to fly kites,
and all such as that—while he greatly neglected
his farm and his cow. Well, don’t you see, my
beloved, that this man lacked selfishness. Why,
bless my soul, he liked other people belter than
himself, and other men’s wives belter than his own.
Well, and,what was the end of all this? Why,
my beloved, you know that the errors of ibis great
man, brought down mischief on his own head, too
shocking almost to be related. Iu the first place,
his dear wife became so offended with the conduct
of this man, that she often emitted whole vollies of
red hot words from her over-heated tongue. Well,
it is said, moreover, that neither man nor beast
could stand before these terrible discharges of words.
Well, what worse could happen to this man ?—
Why. I will tell you what happened to him, worse
than this, (if worse can be:) he was bewitched or
beghos'.cd out of twenty years of his best time, and
that, too, by some wicked wretches, whom he was
attempting to serve and oblige, in mating and emp
tying their keg of liquor.
And now, beloved, although both you and I ad
mire this great man, and are constantly imitating
his examples, yet you see he lacked the propelling
powers contained in my text—He lacked “selfish
ness.” Well, as it happened with this great man,
and no doubt with others in his day, so it is at the
present lime—there is a gieat want of selfishness
among vs, my beloved. Why, my beloved, don’t
you see, every day, men who know more about ev
ery body's business than their own—who are more
ready to find out other people’s faults, and correct
them, than their own—who are anxious to reform
every body but themselves—who would rather
drink any mini's whiskey or spend any man’s mo
ney than their own. Ah, my beloved, here is
a want of selfishness again. And then look at
the whole State of Georgia, length, breadth and
thickness. It abounds in all the elements of
wealth, except the propelling poweis contained in
my text. We have all sorts of climates, and soils,
and water power, to waste and to wonder at, and
various kinds of mines, among them gold mines,
containing in them metal, to make money equal,
or nearly equal to the very best kind of shin plas
ters or other got*l rag money; and notwithstand
ing all this, poverty shows its hateful face among
us. Ah, my beloved, I tell you again, we lack
the propelling power contained in my text. We
lack selfishness. Well, and don’t you see the mis
sionaries leave their wives at home, to make fires
and cook dinners, nnd their children to run wild and
act the madman up to tbe letter, while they go a-
broad to christianize savages, that are less savage
than vou and I, nty beloved. Why, my beloved,
if they can’t christianize you and I, that can read
the Bible, and that don’t do it, how can they expect
11 christianize savages that know nothing about ci
ther the gods or devils we worship in this country ?
Why, rr.y beloved, you know, and so do they, that
they hav’nt christianized you and I—you know we
profess to believe the Bible, and to obey it, nnd
you know we don’t do it. You know the Bible
tells us in a thousand places, to do justice, to do to
others as we wish others to do to us; and notwith
standing all this, yon know we swindle each other
with a vengeance; and you know, likewise, the
Bible tells us to love each other—and you know
that we' hate each other as bad as the wickedest
tom cals hate each other. You know we are ever
lastingly culling each other's throats about politics,
religion, and every thing else. Last year we com
mitted no less than about 250 murders in the United
Slates, and done many other things, too bad to tell
before the children; and then sec what a caper the
people of Philadelphia cut up, a little while ago.
Why, my beloved, what will the Turks, Hindoos,
Hottentots, and other christian-iike people, say,
when they see missionaries coming from such a
quarter. Why, my beloved, they will laugh at
the missionaries to their faces. They will tell them
that they lack selfishness—that they love other
people belter (ban they love you and I, or better
than they love themselves; and other countries
i better than they love their own country.
Well, again, my beloved, look at the makers
and managers of our Banks, and see if there is not
a want of selfishness among them too. Why, my
beloved, it is their interest to be honest men, or, at
least, to appear so, and to keep up a show of hon
esty; and you know they have not always done
this. They have strained every nerve, if not their
oaths and honots, to Gil the country with the best
of rag money, and thereby enable you and I, my
beloved, to live without labor—or, in other words,
to enable us to live on the labor of oilteis. So,
here again is a want of selfishness.
And now, my beloved, what shall I say, by way
of exhortation ? Why, I will soy this—be as wise
as geese cr calves, and as harmless as wolves or
snakes God knows we all wish to be g>od and
wise, or, at least, we wish the people to think we
are good and wise. Well, how shall we make the
people think we nrc good and wise ? Why, by
being good and wise. But how be good and
wise ? Why, to be good, you must do all the
good you can to yourselves, and all the mischief
you can to every body else. And then, to be wise,
hear what is said by Rip Van Winkle, the great
Athenian Statesman, Philosopher, and Poet: He
says, to be wise, “Is but to know, little can be
known, but point out honest people’s faults and hide
our own.”
Now, my beloved, worldly minded people may
laugh at my notions of wisdom and goodness; but
be assured, that the account given above, is true
gooduess and true wisdom, or why does nearly all
the wise and good people in our day, say, b^r their
conduct, they are 1
, And now, n^y beloved, you all pretend to be
well pleased with my preachment; but, as soon as
my back is turned, I am sure you will be ready to
tear mv verv gizzard out, because I have, to some
extent,’told you the truth. But you have no just
right to quarrel with me about this, for you know I
have a right to tell the truth sometimes and under
some circumstances; and you know I seldom
preach the truth, or any thing but sectarianism or
some other ism; and furthermore, if half I said
was true, you have no right to complain, for young
birds have no business to inquire whether the
worms brought them are grubworms or stinging
worms. So thinks and so pteaches your learned
friend * DOW, Sew.
Serio us Riots in Canada.
Probable Revolution in the British Province.
e J e ,* rn ^ rnm passenger* from the Canada frontier, who
* , e yesterday morning, that terrific scenes of riot
and disorder were being enacted last week near the Lachine
.i°i '• . , . e 15 neara5 w e can gather them. are. that
. Irish laborers who were recently discharged for their
interference at the Montreal election of a member of Parlia
ment, assembled in great numbers on Wednesday or Thors-
day, and commenced tbe work of destruction and bloodshed
by destroying the works, attacking the contractor*, and
beating the overseers. The military were called out, and
marched to the tcece of carnage and bloodshed. As the
companies approached the rioters, symptoms of disaffection
were manifested iu the ranks, bnt concealed from the offi-
Cer *' ?* le - *P' r * t rev °b gradually spread among the ar
my, and teing drawn up before the rioters, on receiving or
der* to fire, the soldiers grounded their arms ! declaring
their unwillingness to fire. The utmost consternation pre
vailed among Her Majesty’s office's of tbe higher grades;
while the subordinates united with the revolutionists, and
ordered the temporary seizure of all who would not join in
the revolution.
Such are the facts, as near as we have been able to col
lect them from gentlemen of respectability who had just ar
rived from the frontier. We Confess the story is rather
improbable. The arrival of the Albany boat of Sunday af
ternoon will decide the matter.—N. Y. Sun.
The fact of the blockade of tbe port of Snn Juan de Ni
caragua by the British, lias been officially announced to our
Government at Washington. A Hew York paper, speak
ing of this movement, remarks:—
“It will strike the careless observer as curious, that Eng
land should get upaquatrel with Central America, and
lend vessels of war to blockade the few ports she has in her
poa test ion. Is there not something deeper in this than un
settled claim* t Suppose it should turn out that no treaty
can be made by which England will control the operations
of the Grenadien Canal across the Isthmus of Darien, and
that a quasi war with Central America, gives England the
possession of the lake Nicaragua, the River of the same
name, and the Port of St. Juan, through which a junction be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans can be readily made,
will not this quarrel with Central America explain the
movement T Lake Nicaragua is 123 miles in length and 40
in breadth, is connected with the Atlantic by a navigable
outlet and with Lake Leon, only 42 miles from the Pacific.
A control of that highway between the Atlantic and Pacific
to England ia incalculably valuable. Let us keep an eye
in that quarter—and be not forever asleep to our own in
terests, in neglecting to watch the movements ol a great
commercial rival.”

Itfr. Itlndison’s Authority.
The following letter from Mr. Madison, while Secretary
of Slate, to Messrs. Livingston and Monroe, embraces all
the points in dispute as to the right of annexing Texas to
the United States, and, in our opinion, is derisive of the
question. It may be found in the State Papers, under the
head of Foreign Relations, voL ii. p. 562.—Spectator.
“Department of State, May 28, 1803.
As the question may arise, how far, in a slate of war,
one of the parties can, of right, convey territory to a neutral
power, and thereby deprive its enemy of the chance of con
quest incident to war especially wheu tbe conquest may
have been actually projected, it ia thought proper to observe
to you. 1st, that in the present case the project of peaceable
acquisition, by the United States, originated prior to the war,
and, consequently, before a project of conquest could have
exiated ; 2d, that the right of a neutral co procure for itself,
by a bona fide trsosactioa, property of any sort trout a bel
ligerent power, ought not to be frustrated by the chance that
a rightful conquest thereof may be thereby precluded. A
contrary doctrine would sacrifice the juat interest of peace
to the unreasonable pretensions of war, and the positive
rights of one nation to the possible rights of another.
A restraint on the alienation of territory from a nation at
war. to a nation at peace, is imposed only in cases where
the proceeding might have a collusive reference to the ex
istence of the war. and might be calculated to save the prop
erty from danger, by placing it in secret trust, to be re-con
veyed on the return of peace. No objection of thia sort can
be made to the acquisitions we have in view. The meas
ures taken on this subject were taken before the existence
nr the appearance of war; and they will be pursued as they
were planned, with the bona fide purpose of vestiug the ac
quisition forever in the United States.
“With these observation* you will be left to do the best
you can, under all circumstances, keeping in mind that
the rights we assert are clear, that the object* we pursue
are just, and that you will be warranted in providing for
both, by taking every fair advantage of emergencies.”
The Texas Treaty.
The following resolutions, offered by Senator Benton,
are now under consideration in the Senate in secret session.
"Retolred. That the ratification of the treaty for the An
nexation of Texas to the United States would be an adoption
of the Texian war with Mexico by the United States, and
would devolve its conduct and conclusion upon the said U.
States.
“Resolved, That the treaty-making power does not extend
to tbe power of making war, and that the President and
Senate have no right to make war, either by declaration or
adoption.
'•Resolved, That the country dismembered from the Uni
ted States by the treaty of 1818 with Spain, romprebetidiug
Texas and a large territory between the Red River and
the Arkansas, and being geographically appurtenant to tbe
United States, and essential to their political, commercial,
and social system, ought to be re-united to the American
Union as soon as it can be done with tbe consent of a ma
jority of tbe people of the United Stale* and of Texas, and
when Mexico shall either consent to the same, or acknowl
edge the independence of Texas, or cease to prosecute the
war against Iter (the armistice having expired) on a scale
commensurate to the conquest of the country."

old; dark complexion; weighs about 140 lbs.
and is very close buili- He wore off, a
blue round cloth coa', blue sattinett panta
loons, and a broad checked shirt. He also had a large
piece of iron around onfe ofliis legs, when he left; which. I
presume, he has got off before this time. H6 rode off a
Sorrel Mare, with one or two white feet; she was very thin,
and had the heaves. I think he is making his way to Sa
vannah, ns lie was principally raised in that city. I bought
him of Mr. McLeod. 1 negro trader, from Jones county.—
The boy fold me thnt Mr. McLeod bought him of Daniel N.
Lane, of the city of Savannah. If these statements are true,
he will be very apt to try to get to Savannah or Macon ;
for I learned from the boy. that he nad been to the Races in
Macon frequertly; also, in different parts of the Slate. I
