By the rhyme* which now adorn the Whig papers, I find j country
that their elegant poets make M “
_ Frelinghuysen's name
rhyme, tnnst significantly, with ' pizen.' \ erily, the ass
hnoweth hi6 owner, nnd the ox. his master's crib. But in it
conversation with a person who resides not far from Mr. K
and who knows him well, I observed that he uniformly pro
nounced the name Prcling-hewsen. Which inode is the
correct one, I neither know nor care. The following rhymes
are made to conform to the latter:—
The federalists will fail in cboosin’
Their duelist and Frelinghuysen.
New England coons are mad at Gain'
Tbeir ••honest John’’ for Frelinghuysen.
Soft Clay the Whigs have stock their shoes in,
And won't get out by Frelinghuysen.
Tho feds have got their necks a noose in,
By taking Clay and Frelinghuysen.
The people will be for refusin’
Both Henry Clay and Frelinghuysen.
Untcinpered Clay there is no use in,
Though mixed with Jersey Frelinghuysen.
The whigs will be upset in cruisin'
Under the flag of Frelinghuyseo.
Aristocrats won’t gain their views in
Proposing Clay and Frelinghuysen.
Their Clay the fed* have put the deuse in.
By mixing it with Frelinghuysen.
The coons again are aure to lose, in
Voting for Clay and Frelinghuysen.
The Democrats will give a bruisin’
To •’ mill-boy" Clay and Frelinghuysen.
Too soon the feds will have tie blues, iu
The loss of Clay and Frelinghuysen.
The coon express will bring the news in—
" Defeat of Clay and Frelinghuysen."

Of gaining power by Frelinghuysen.
Don't damn you*selves by any new sin,
In aid of Clay and Frelinghuysen.

In December. 1935. Mr. Polk was elected Speaker of the
House, and he was chosen again to the same high station in
1837. In the performance of his arduous duties. he was
noted for his dignity.. promptitude and impartiality. “Hu
calmness and good temper allayed the violence of oppost
tidn. in a station fir which hia quickness, coolness and sa
gacity eminently qualified liim." He is said never to nave
missed a division, his name being found upon every list <«
yeas and nays. His manner as. a Speaker was distinguish
ed bv great courtesy, never having been known to indulge
In offensive personality. In one word his popularity is ow
ing to the firmness and consistency of hia course, his.consci
entious performance of his duties as a representative, his
unwavering patriotism, hia gentlemanly hearing, and his un
spotted private character. Calm, sagacious. active, decided
and endowed with great practicable capabilities, few men
have been selected upon which the party without a dissent
ing voice could be better united at the ballot-box-
Since Mr. Polk left Congress, his history is well known.
His election as Governor of Tennessee, against an opposi
tion to which no ordinary man could have succeeded, shows
the strong hold he had upon the people of that State. It is
true, that in 1841 and 1843. he was defeated: but in the
first, Jones, his competitor, obtained a majority of only 3,224
when Harrison had 12,102,i and in 1843 Mr. Polk received
about 4,000 votes more than in 1841.
From the Baltimore Republican and Argus.
JTbuics K. Polk, of Truurucr.
An account of tbe history of this distinguished patriot will
doubtless, a: this time, prove highly acceptable to our read
ers, and wc therefore proceed to the task of giving aush a
sketch as our time and limits will permit.
James K. Polk was born in Mecklenburg county, North
Carolina, on the second day of November. 1795, and is now
in the 49lh year of his age. The original name of bis an
cestors was Pollock; they emigrated from Ireland more
than a century ago, snd first settled themselves in Maryland,
where sereral branches of the family still remain. That
branch from which our candidate more immediately sprung,
removed first to the vicinity of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and
thence to the western frontier of North Carolina, some time
before the revolutionary war. Thomas Folk, well known
as one of the signers if not the prime mover, of tbe celebra
ted Mecklenburg declaration at independence, was tbe grand
uncle of our nominee. Indeed the whole family were noted
for their uncompromising democratic principles; and to this
day are characterized fur that sturdiness of independence
which led Col. Thomas Polk, with others to absolve them
selves uoder their signatures from all allegiance to Great
Britain more than a tweive-mumh before tbe declaration of
Congressin 1776. Of the people of Mr. Polk a native coun
ty, it has often been said, as an evidence of their bold and
ready patriotism, that "at tbe last war they took up arms
aix months before, and did not lay them down till twelve
mouths after the Government” .A man born from such
ancestors, with his infancy nurtured in the atmosphere of
such a region, can be nothing but a democrat—an uuyield-
mg, uncompromising democrat; and auch a man is James K.
Polk.
Mr, Polk’a father was an nnaainming but enterprising
farmer, tie was the maker of his own fortunes, and a warm
supporter of Mr. Jefferson. In 1806, he became one of the
first pioneers, of what is now tbe roost flourishing and popu
lous portion of Tennessee. In our wilderness settlements,
the opportunities of education, of course, are very scanty.
Notwithstanding this difficulty, however, our candidate
managed to gel the elements ol an English education. And
so earnest were his desires for improvement and so ardent
his appeals, tltai, although on account of his feeble health
he wiit placed for a few weeki in a store with intent of ma
king him a commercial man, yet the resistance of his father
was overcome, and after due preparation, at an Academy,
he entered in 1815 the University of North Carolina, front
which he graduated in 1818, carrying off tbe highest dis
tinction iii tus class and with the reputation ol being the
best scholar both in classics and mathematics-
Early in 1819. Mr. Polk commenced the study of law with
the late Senator Grundy, and late in 1820 was admitted to
the bar.
In 1823. then in his 29th year, he was chosen to represent
his county in the Lezi.Uiure of Tmonies. Here lie re
in lined fur two successive years; and witn pride lie looks
back to the opportunity this position gave him pi aid with
others, in calling Andrew Jackson Irmn hia retirement, by
electing him tolho United States Senate. For this venera
ble and venerated man he entertained an esrly personal
and political friendship—a friendship which, to this moment,
ha" never known a ‘'suadow of turning."
In 1825, then in his 30th year, Mr- rolk was elected asa
member of Congress. Briaging with hint the soundest prin
ciples of the democratic school, he soon became known as I
republican of the “straitest sect." With only one or two
exceptions, lie was the youngest member of the House ol
Representatives, and an opportunity was not long wanted
i-i give evidence of his capacity as well as of his principles.
The election of John CL Adams to the Presidency by the
House, led to a proposition to amend lite Constitution in
tocb msnnrr aa to gire the choice of President and Y’tce
President directly to the people. This is what ought to be
the case—tire whole system of voting through Electors is
wrong, and needs repeat. In favor of this proposition, Mr.
Polk made his fir->t speech it Cob great, which, we are told,
“at once attracted the attention of the country by the force of
its retsuning, the copiousness of i'.s rescan h, and the sp.ril
of honest indignation by which it was animated. It was at
once seen that ins ambition waa to distinguish himself by
•abatsntiil merit, ra;her than rhetorical display, ‘ the rock
upon which most young orato * split."
At the same session, the notorious schema of old Feder
alism. ktiown as the “Panama mission,’’ waa broa lied.—
Against this attempted aibversi tn u.'thr rights and powers
ol' the House Mr. Poik limit a bold stand, embodying his
views in a series of resolutions based upon the doctrines ol
the Repubii an party of’99.
In December. 1827, Mr. Polk svaa nlrned on the import-
ant Committeeuf Foreign Affairs. He was also Chairman
of the select Committee to whi-It waa referred ’bat po lion

taiion ot a surnlitt in the Treasury lifter the anticipated ex-
t iiguishment of the public debt. Tne repo-t maJe by him
from this Committee is filled with the soundest doctrines,
ibly and lucidly enforced.
The session of 1830 is noted lor the death blow given by
Jacks m to the unconstitutional system of internal improve
meuts by the General Government. Mr Polk stood out

Mr. Dallas was born in the city of Philade’pbia, on tbe
!0tb day of July. 1792. He is tbe elder son of Alexander
J. Dallas, one of the most accomplished advocates and dis
ti iguished statesman that have adorned the legal prefesaii-n
of the United States, or sustained, in important -posts of pub
lic trust, the principles and policy of the Republican party.
He received the rudiments of Ins education at a school tn
Germantown, and afterwards at the-Friends'Academy, in
Philadelphia. At the age of 14, he was entered in Prince
ton College, and continued there until 1810, when he was
graduated with the highest honors of his class. He deliv
ered their valedictory address; which ia still remembered
and adverted to in the College history as a striking example
of feeling, eloquence and taste. Indeed, as a public speak
er, he gave early promise of that excellence which has since
been displayed in many of the prominent situations to which
bis talents have elevated hint ; ut,d a published oration, de
livered when he was hut aeventeett years of age, and pre
served in the Port Folio, striking by attests the maturity of
his powers.
On leaving College, Mr. Dallas coinmenred the study of
the law in the office of his father, at Philadelphia; and,-al
though, in the intervals of that severe study, the more at-
trac'tve forms of literature and poetry were not unfrequently
cultivated, he yet persevered with incieasing application in
making himself a thorough master of the great principles of
the profession which he lias since been so distinguished a
member. He was admitted to the bar in 1813. boon after
the declaration of war with England, he enrolled bin self in
a volunteer corps; and when: in the year 1613, Mr. Galla
tin waa appointed by President Madison, a member of the
commission that repaired to St. Petersburg, for the pu -pose
of negotiating a peace under the mediation • f the Einperor
Alexander, he accompanied that minster as his private and
confidential Secretary. During a residence i f more than a
year in Europe. Mr. Dallas hnd an opportunity of visiting
Russia, France. England. Holland and the Netherlands.
In August. 1814. Mr. Dallas returced to the U. States,
beating the despatches from tbe American Commisainaera
then holding their sessions at Ghent, which announced the
prospecta little favorable to a speedy peace that at- known
to have resulted from the earl er conferences with the Brit
ish Envoys. On his arrival, he found Ins father transferred
from the bar of Philadelphia to the head of the Treasury
Department—a past requiring, in tbe complicate,! state of
the finances, and amid the pressing exigencies of the war.
a 1 ! the resources ofjudement and talent for which he had
been already distinguished, but which he was now destined
to display through a brilliant administration of two years,
under circumstances and in a manner that secured for him
a yet larger alinre of the applause and confidence of the peo
ple of the United States. His son remained with him for a
time at Washington, to assist him in the arduous duties ol
the Treasury, and then returned tn Philadelphia, to re
>ume, or rather to commence the actual practice of hia pro
fession—an event that was almost immediately followed by
hia marriage with an accomplished lady, the daughter of
M'. Nicklin, an eminent tnerrhanl nf that ritv.
In the year 1831, Mr. Dallas was selected tn fill a vacan
cy in the representation from Pennsylvania, in the Senate of
the Unhed State*. On the expiration of his term he retired
from the Senate of the United State*, and was selected by
Governor Wolf, as Attorney General of the St«e of Penn
sylvania.
The next most conspicuous event in Mr. Dallas’ political
life was his appointment by Mr. Van Bnren, immediately
after his election tn the post nf Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary tn Russia, where he remained till
October. 1639. Since Mr. Dallas' return from Russia be
has devoted himself to the practice of his profession.
The Ratification.
The meeting in New York on Tuesday evening, Hmnly
redeemed its promise. The reports concur.in stating it to
have been very large and in all respects a most imposing
demonstration.* The report of the Herald Bays :
“The great tntai,meeting of t'ae Democratic Electors of
this city, to receive the report of the delegation to the Balti
more Convention, took place in the Park yesterday after
noon, at 5 o’clock. Ahout ten thousand persons assembled,
the gathering being the largest we have seen congregated
in this city for several years. There waa perfect unanimity,
but the displays nf enthusiasm were not remarkably strik
ing. On the whole, however, the occasion presented a for
midable display of the numbers, unity, determination, and
vigor, of the Democratic party of this city, and was in all
respects superior to the Whig gathering for the purpose of
receiving tlio nomination of Clay and Frelinghuysen. It
was, indeed, a meeting every way calculated to alarm the
Whiga—it was composed of the stern, hard working, un
flinching old Dem<>cracy, whose qniet, subdued, but earnest
mode of action tells at ilie polls, and dries not evaporate in
the blustering bravado of Tnmmnny Half.”
The meeting waa eloquently addressed by Messrs. B. F-
Butler. G Melville, C. C. Catnbreleng. and others, and a-
donted with entire unanimity resolutions substantially the
same as those of the Baltimore Convention. Mr. Van Ka
ren had been invited to preside on the occasion, and return
ed the f illowtng answer, which was read at the meeting and
received with enthusiastic applause.

the several wards of the city and county of New York, to

the 4th inst.. to respond to tbe nominations of the Baltimore
Convention.
Upon retiring from the Presidency, I thought it would
best comport with the respect which wt a due to that high
station, and to lltnte by whose favor I had been raised to it.
to restrict my participation in the political contests of the
day tn the faithful exercise of the right nf suffrage, with un
reserved expression of my opinions upon public questions,
to lit «c wlnr deemed the latter of sufficient tmpo'tsnce to
call for them The adoption of this rule was at the lime
public y atmouiired to tuy political friends and lias ever
since been scrupulously observed. Subsequent even:*
have only confirmed the propriety of its continued and ;ier-
manent observance. It is therefore with unfeigned regre*
that I find myself constrained by circumstances, which I
cannot and ought not to disregard, to decline the requrst to
preside at a meeting of a portion of my fellow-citizen*, than
whom no men possess stronger claims to roy respect, tny
confidence and tny esteem.
But let no one for a moment suppose lhaL in thus yielding
to the proprieties of tny position. 1 am in the slightest degree
influenced by lukewarmness, much less hostility to the suc
cess of the nomination, to which it is the pnrpnse of those

the true state of my feelings I have known Messrs Polk
and Dallas In’ g and intimately, I have hnd frequent op

with credit and usefulness. They are both eentlen-en pos

in a welcome as cordial aa man ever received from man.
They need no assurance to satisfy them that 1 shall be for
ever thankful for their unsurpassed devotion tn tuy welfare

WASHINGTON, June 5.
_ The Senate passed to the consideration of Executive bu
siness at an unusually early hour, being anxious to have the
matter disposed of, that is the treaty rejected. During the
time the body was in legislative session, there was n com
munication from the Treasury Department covering tbe re
port of Professor Morse in relation to bis Electro Magnetic
Telegraph, which is now finished between the cutes of
Washington and Bahimore. and at a cost fur leas than was
anticipated. The grant made to him to test the bracticabil-
ity nnd utility of this invention waa 83' ,000. of wbich sum
83.500 remain on hand. A great many experiment* have
been made and tested on the present plan to Baltimore,
which will, in all probability, lesaen the expenses hereafter
tn be incurred ; indeed it is now thought that it may be
•-airiei through loan almost indefinite extent in this country
for one hundred nnd twenty-five dollars per milo Tbe
coat of the British Telegraph in pipes is 81275. and on posts
SC62 per mile. The estimate for the American was per
mile in pipes 8583, and on posts, from 350 to 400 dollars per
mile. The department speaks of this matter as having been
folly and fairly tested, and its praeticab'lity proved beyond a
doubt.' I dn not know that the press should applaud'd; be
cause it bids fair to supersede the necessity of any other
than local panels, and os to correspondents for the public
press, their occupation is rlean g-tne, and yoo will nnlv have
to contract with the Government to supply Congressional
news by the column. Indeed, Professor Morse hints that
when Government establishes n Telegraphic Bureau, that
the Telegraph will not only pay for itself, but absolutely be
come a revenue to Government. I know of no competition
in speed aave the lightning of Heaven, and that as yet is be
yond the control of man. ...
In the other branch of the National Legislature they
passed at once to the consideration of the Civil and Diplo
matic Bill, and for the Ural hour political speeches, wete
made, after which, the House went to work on ili6 Bill.
The amendments adopted and rejected were very numer
ous, and it would hardly be poss.ble for tne. to give you any
adequate idea of them in a brief le.ter. There was one
amendment which shows how the feeling is in favprpfpro-
t*ction, and that waa that all article* for the use of the two
Houses of Congress and for finishing the President’s House,
should be made front American manufacture it aa good as
the fr reign, and at fair prices.
The rumor is rife here that President Tyler is about, or
has declined in faTor «f Mr. Polk. If this he ao. it is only
another evidence of the patriotism nf the man. and further
proof that in all he has done, be has been guided by love nf
country, abstracted from all selfi-b consideration*. The
true Democracy of this country owes much to Mr. Tyler
and the South a large debt of gratitude.
Of alt thing* that nave met thy eye lately, that which is
most laughable is the cen«urepassed by the G'oh’e ami Mr.
Benton, on Mr. Calhoun's admirable letter to Mr. Packen
ham on tbe subject of slavery. They labor to prove that
this letter waa uncalled for, when the whrlr burden of L»nl
Aberdeen's communication was to show that afavery was
wicked, and ought to be abohshed. The letter -«f Mr. C.
waa therefore not only proper in itself, but he would have
been recreant to his duty as a Southern man. not to have
made the bold avowal be did.
WASHINGTON.* June 6.
The Senate proceeded tn the consideration < f Executive
business within the morning hour. There was very h'ttle
in legislative session worthy of record. All the bills report-
ed from Committees were private; that i* relating to priva'e
claims, with the exception of one from the j-int Committee
on the library, to establish the Smithsonian Institution for
the promotion of knowledge among tnen, and on that there
can be no action tbi* session.
There was a memorial from the Quakers nf Indiana. Illi
nnis.and Western part of Ohio, j n opposition to the Annex
ation of Texas. on tite ground, that it would be the means of
extending slsverv and perpetuating it. A inotion was made
to lay tbe motion to receive on the table, but that question
called forth the yeas and nays, and the vote stood, yeas 19.
nays 24—and then the question was taken on the reception
of this petition, and it was decided in the affirmative—veas
27. nays 12. After tbi* question wss decided, by which a
rule of the Senate has been palpably in*r:nced. the resnlu
tion was laid on the table Mr. Crittenden and Mr. More-
head both made remarks in favor r.f the reception, contend
ing that it did notentne within the rule.
Mr. Rive* spoke yesterday in Executive Session, as did
Mr. Kenton again. It would seem Mr. B. is up on all occa.
sinus. The President and some of his friends are still san-
guine about the ratification of the treaty, but I have no faith
in it—party and personal hostility will prove too strong for
any feeble promptings of patriotism in the Senate.
In the H *use. the report of the Committee on Elections
waa taken up. in the case of the contested sent* -between
Mr. Jnnea and Mr. Botts. and those gemlemep jverr heard
at the bar of the'House, on the relative im-rits of'rhcir re
sportive claims. Each *-a* pllowed on lour, after which
the report of the majority of the Committee was unanimous
ly sustained, whirb gives the seat tn Mr. Jones.
The Hou»e then proceeded with votes on the amend
ments of the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill, up to
the hour of adjournment
It i* now confidently asserted, that the vote will be taken
on the treaty to morrow.
The rumors so rife here in relation to the withdrawal of
President Tyler in favor of Mr. Polk, are certainly not
borne out by the editorial* of t he Madisonian.

WASHINGTON, June 7.
In the Senate, there wete numerous memorials from
Philadelphia strongly urging a modification of the naturali
zation la w, so as to require a period of probation of 21 year*.
Mr. Archer, on presenting one of this character, took oc
casion to say, that the recent fearful riots in Philadel| hia
had placet! this subject in a strong light. He hoped the
prajer of the memorialist* would be speedily granted. He
concluded by observing that if no o> e else would move in
this mauer, he would himself devote all bit energies tn it.
Mr Choate repot ted a bill making an appropriation for
continuing tbe Electro Magnetic Telegraph from Btiltiiuoie
to New York.
He also reported a bill for the relief of the National In
stitute of tbit city.
Tbe bill tn remit duties on imported rail road iron was
next taken up.
Mr. Evans, who repotted the hill, spoke iu its favqr till
one o'clock. A motion to go into executive session was
then made and carried
As it is understood that the question on the treaty will be
put to-morrow, considerable curiosity it manifested to learn
the strength of the vote.
In the House, a letter was received from the Post Master
General, referring to a recent apeecb tnadeb- Mr. Garret
Davit, of Ky, in which the latter charged that Mr. Wick-
lifle had improperly interfered in the canvass between him.
Mr. D.. and a nephew nf Mr. Wicklifle. by tending on a
special agent of the Post Office Department named Brown,
who was to use hia influence ngaiust Davis. (Tbit was the
man who waa cut to piece*, by Cassiua M. Clay.)
Tbe Post Master General declare* the charges to be en
tirely untrue, and demands an investigation before a Com

Mr. Davis made a statement in which be expressed a be
lief in the chatpe, although he bad not made it poailive.but
only inferred that the Post Muster has ao acted; from the
authority of private letters.
After some rematks from Mr. Cave Johnston, the letter
was referredto the Post Office Committee, with instructions
to report oo the case; also what further steps ought to be
taken. _ . .
Mr. Davis rande an effort to introduce a resolution di
recting the Committee to inquire >vltetliei the Post M ster
General ha* not been guilty of abuse of his tdi-ce. etc.; but
without success.
Mr. Hungerftirtl moved to stake tho hill redo- ing the pay
of members of Congress and other officers sf Govt-rmiem,
the special order for Monday—I ut w thmtt surrr.t—for the
wltole rri'iiler was, by a tremertd'0.5 acclamation vote, laid
uni he table.
After several ineffectual tnoji .ns'to take up qtlier bills,
the House resit u t-J the consideration of tite amendments of
the Committee of the Whole tothe General Apprnpir tion
Bill. Tltev were finally all disposed of.after w-litrh the bill
lowing cases, to wit
1st. Tbe boundary of tbe annexed territory to be on the
desert prairie West of the Neuces, and aloug the highlands
and mountain heights which divide the waters of the Mis
sissippi from the waters of the Rio del Norte, and to lati-
tune 42 degrees North.
2d. The people of Texas, by a legislative act, or by any
authentic act which shews the will of the majority, to ex
press tbeir assent to said annexation.
3d. A State to be called “The State of Texas,” with
boundaries fixed by herself, and an extent not exceeding
that of the largest State in the Union, by virtue of this act,
on an equal looting with the oilier Slates.
4th. The remainder of tbe annexed territory to be held
and disposed of by the United States as one of the r territo
ries. and to be called “The South \V esteru Territory."
5th. The existence of slavery to be forever prohibited in
the Northern and North Western part of said Territory, so
as to divide, as equally as may be. the whole of tbe annexed
country between slave-holding aud non slave-bolding States
. blit. The assent of Mexico to be obtaiued by treaty, to
such annexation &xd boundary, or tn be dispensed with
wheu the Congress of the United States may deem such as
sent to be Unnecessary.
7th. The details of the Annexation to be adjusted by trea
ty, so far as the same may come within.scope of this power.
On motion of Mr. Alleu, the bill was ordered to be read a
second time to-morrow.
One great objection to it is tbe fact, that the Texas Con
gress will not be likely to consent to an annexation depend
ing on the decision of Mexico. The Texans, wilt, it is
thought, have lot much pride to admit that Mexico has any
right to be consulted in the matter.
J send you below a copy of Mr. McDuffie’s Joint Resolu
tion introduced into executive session. May 23d, aud order
ed to be printed May 24. The injunction of secrecy was
removed from it on Saturday night.
Resolved. -That the compact of annexation made between
tbe Executive Government of the United Sta'es and that of
Texas, and submitted to the Senate for confirmation by tbe
President of ibt United States be, and the same ia hereby
ratified as the fundamental law of Union between the Uni
ted Stales and Texas as soon as the supreme executive and
legislative power nf Texas shall ratify audconfiim the said
compact of Annexation."
Tins resolution is now before tbe Senate in public ses
sion, and upon tbe question shall it he read a second lime.
WASHINGTON, June 8, 1844-
An Additional Document.
The following Message was transmitted by the Presidenc
of the United States to the Senate un Thursday last; and,
after being read, tbe in unction of secrecy was removed
from it. aud it was ordered to be printed lor the use of the
Senate.
Washington, June 5, 1844.
To the Senate of the United Stales:
I herewith transmit to the Senate, with reference to pre
vious Executive communications to that body relating to
tbe same subject, tbe copy of a letter recently received at
the Department of State from the Minister of the U. States
at London. JOHN TYLER.
London, May 18. 1844.
Sin—I duly received, by tbe steamer of the 1st. your de
spitch No. 85. transmitting the printed document contain
ing the treaty relative to the Annexation of Texas, with the
accompanying papers submitted to the Senate, together with
your subsequent correspondence with Mr. Packeuhain.
I have delayed acknowledging tbe receipt of these most
important papers to this, the inst day of writing by the
steamer, in the expectation that some communication might
be made to me on the subject by Lord Aberdeen, to be
transmitted tn you. This, however, ts not the case. You
will perceive by the papers of this inorniKg. that some con
versation arose in the House of Lords la.-t evening in ref
erence to the treaty, on occasion of a question put by Lord
Brougham to Lord Aberdeen. Lord Brougham assigned,
a* a reason for his inquiry, that the conversation between
Lord Aberdeen and himself oi. the 18tb of Aueust last, had
l-eeu (at he gathered Iron) the documents which had ap
peared in tite papers) deemed highly significant by the
Government of the United Slates; and stated that it was
fur from hit intention, in what hr then said, tn counsel any
interference with slavery as existing in the U. States.
Lord Aberdeen was very reserved In his reply. He
stated that the Annexation of Texas raised a question, as
lie believed, new and unexampled in the history of public
Jsw. which demanded and would receive the earliest aud
most serious attention nf Her Majesty's Government. There
was no doubt that the ’reaty was signed, but he shared with
Lord Brougham the hope "and helfef that it would not be
ratified ; but it was impossible to speak with confidence on
such a point.
The question to which Lord Aberdeen referred as “new
and unexampled in the history of public l*w.” wss not sta
ted by him. but. Irani the remarks with which Lord Brou
gham commenced, as reported in this morning's papers, may
be inferred to be the effect of a union between two separate
independent States on tbeir previously existing relations
with other P >wers.
In reply to a further question from Lord Brougham. Lord
Ahetdeen said that the explanation which he ha-l made of
their conversation of’he 18th nf Augu*t had been correctly
reported by me. (a matter of necessity 1 may observe, with
the precaution I took nf submitting the memorandum tn Ins
inspection.) nnd that he had confirmed it in a despat h to
Mr. Packenham. alludine, apparently, to that of the 26th of
December, 1843, of which a copy was furnished to Mr.
Upshur. t "
The intelligence Q r the treaty has been less a subject of
enmment on the part of the press than might perhaps have
been expected, at least in the papers which I see. It seems
tn have taken the public generally by surprise, and tbe con
ductors of the pres* are probably waiting for futtber infor
mation and for suggestions in Parliament as to tbe ground
to be taken by the Government ami the lenders of the Op
position. There is sit article on the subject in the “Times”
this morning, which like most nf the cuminenL* of that jour
nal on Ami rican affair). is of n hostile and acrimonious char
acter. It is probable that the steamer which sails to-mor
row will take out some in ttructions from this Government
to Mr Packenham, under vltich he will cnminuuicate to
you the views they are disposed to take of the treaty I
infer this from not having teceived any such communication
myself. I am. sir, veiy respectfully,
your obedient servant.

Texas Treaty Rejected!
As was expecied, the Senate, on Saturday night,
8tli inst. tejecied the Texas Treaty, by a vote of 35
to 16—oue Senator absent. The Vote was as fol
lows :
YEAS—Messrs. Atcl isnn, Bagby, Breese. Buchanan.
Co'quiti, Fulton, Haywood. Her.derson. Huger, lewis. Mc
Duffie. Seuiplc, Sevier, Sturgeon, Walker, aqd Woodbu
ry—16. *

Baynard, Benton, Berrien. Choate, Clayton, Crittenden
Dayton, Evans, Fa rfield, Foster. Francis. Huntington, Jar-
nagin, Johnson, Mangutn. Merrick, Miller.Morehead. Niles
Peaice,Pnelps. Potter. Rives. Simmons, Tallmadge, Tap
pan, Uphain, White, YVoodbridge, and YVrignt—35.
It will be seen, by extracts in another place, that
Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Benton have both proposi
tions before the Senate, for annexing Texas to the
United States, by a joint Resolution of the two
Houses—yet, if the above vote is to be considered
a test, (tho’ we do not so consider it,) the joint Res
olution cannot take place this Congress.
On the 11th, the President transmiiteed all the
documents, letters, fee. relating to the Texas ques
tion, (including some on which the seal of secrecy
had not been removed.) to the House of Represen
tatives, for its consideration—accompanied by a
spirited Message, about a column in length, in
which a brief synopsis of the proceedings, and a
bird’s-eye view of the whole question is presented
and immediate action recommended. A motion to
lay the wliole on the table, was rejected by a large
majority. The Message and Documents were
then referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
and ordered to be printed.
We still trust, though we have our fears, there is
good sense and patriotism enough left in Congress,
to consummate that glorious measute, while the
op|ioriunity remains.

Mr. Clay tint! Protection.
Tho Petersburg Intelligencer has a letter from Mr. Clay,
t.a'ed May 1 lilt, mid addressed to a Committee in Pennsyl
vania, wherein Mr. Clay lakeatlie highest bighTariffground
YY’e bare not room for the letter, but quote tne remarks with
which tbe Intelligencer introdures it:
The following letter from Mr- Clay, was written on the
eve of his departure from YVashington. If those who see
fit to assert that Mr. Clay has abandoned his advocacy of
protection, ran i rail this and still persist in that calumny,
they must be brazen indeed.”
We never believed that Mr. Clay had "abandoned" pro.
tection in reality, hut w e cettainly conceive that lie said so
in Ida Georgia letter, and if lie did not say so there, be did
say ao. almost in the very words in his speech delivered in
t-renatemi the 21st January. 1812. in reply to Mr. Wondbi •
ry. on the Treasury note bill. YVe give the following ex-
tract from hia speech, as reported for the National Intelli
gencer:
Extract from Mr. Clay's Speech.
Carry nut then, said he, the spirit of the Compromise
Ai.t Look to Revenue alone for the support of Govern
ment. Do not raise the question nf Protection, which I h»d
hoped had been put to rest. THERE IS NO NECES
SITY OF PROTECTION FOli PROTECTION.”

An exchange paper says: "Philadelphia is the ‘Whig
Banner City* of tbe Union; gives the largest YY’big inajnri
tv of any city in the Union, it the head quarters of specula
tion ami Batik iniquity; has the most disorderly set «.f fire
men ; Mte most frequent mobs and riots; has sunk more
hank capital, nnd rohbed more widow* and orphans; owes
the largest debt, and cares less about it; baa originated and
consummated more election frauds; pretends to be most
tolerant, yet in.>bs Abolitionists; shoots Catholics, and burn*
churches; boasts of i s superior military, and yet cannot
quell a riot! Verily.Philadelphia is the ‘Banner City of
Whiggery !’ for there are its principles most lully carried
out.'—.Y. y. Plebeian.
Among the atguments used by Mr. Clay, in his
Maron Speech, in favor of a National Bank, was,
its necessity, to enable us to compete with foreign
nations. We had a National Legislature, a Na
tional Army, and a National Navy, he said; and
why not a National Bank ? Most every nation had
found it expedient to have a National Bank—was
their experience worth nothing? &c. tec.
He might have added, that most other nations
itad found it expedient also, to have a National Re
ligion—an established Church—an established Mi n-
archy. If we are bound to follow the example of
Europe in one tiling, why not in another ? Does
he wish to see a National Church—a National
Throne—a National Nobility—an hereditary Par
liament, and all that, because foreign Governments
have found them expedient?
Tite genius of ojr people—all our institutions,
are different from those oft lie Old World. It is just
as absurd to copy their financial systems, as it would
be their religious and political.
The Tariff in the Granite Stntc.
Perhaps no State in the Union has been truer,
firmer, in the cause of Democracy, than New
Hampshire. Under all the exciietnenis, amidst all
the changes that have convulsed the land, and
hurled so many from their " propriety,” as well as
their consistency, the Democracy of New Hamp
shire have stood firm and unflinching in their devo
tion to principles. Though largely engaged in
manufactures, and needing “ Protection” as much
as their neighbors, (lie idea of a Tariff for Protec
tion never enters iheir heads. Here is what Gov.
We give it up—the Whigs can beat u s , ktoat
things; they'can heat us in btrastrog, sodhrao j n
and singing, if not in voting—(which, by tbe t
they were pretty slick at, in 1B40)—They cana!«
beat us in ciphering: Nobody but ihev rould *
pher out, that high duties make low prices— a , : j
that a Tariff, atnounring almost to prohibition,in
stead of diminishing, increases the Revenue. Jfo.,
especially, can they beat us in drawing;**,,,
Their papers abound with pictures—there's th,
picture of the Great American Statesman and Or .
tor. in the attitude of ntakingaspeech.for oragtOsi
a United States Bank, (as the case niiglu
then, there’s the picture of the Farmer of Ashland
sowing hemp—and also, the picture of the Vir s :j
heifer, that was barbecued on some remarksbleoc-
casion. But, theit favorite picture is the Coon!-.
It we have in all possible shapes, altitudes, and
positions—Coon rampant, coon couchant, coon dor-
mant, tec. (By and by, we expect to see a pic.
ture, showing the coon hung and skinned.)
Speaking of pictures, our attention was attracted
to one in the last Madison Miscellany, which,- We
learn from the editor, was complimented to that
print by the Hon. Duncan L. Clinch, one of the
Representatives in Congress from the Slateol'Geor-
gia. By which we infer, that our worthy, esteem
ed, and highly talented Represenialive has been a
pupil of Apollo as well as of Mars—and lhaf helaj
a taste for the fine arts, as well as for arms!
But the picture—the picture!
Well, the picture represent (of course) a lire
coon, silting on his jtosleriors, (rather an uncom
fortable position, we should sav;) his legs and nil
drawn up in agony; his eyes ready to start out cf
their sockets; his under jaw fallen, and his fore
paws raised lotvards heaven—presenting altogethet
a most rueful and wo-begotte aspect. He appeal
just to have learned ilie news of the nomination of
Polk and Dallas—hence his solemclmly air and
countenance. CIosp by hint lies the Cock; the em
blem of Democracy, apparently convulsed will
laughter, at the rueful physiognomy of hi*frieodti*
coon. And while the coon, maddenedat the tninhof
the-rooster, sings out, “Why don't yoa crow!”the
other only kicks up his heels and laughs the louder
as much as to say, “ time enough yet."
The Miscellany has, underneath the above de
scribed picture, a few lines of doggrel—trkek,
slightly altered, read as follows:
That same old Cnor. has come a grin,
And though as good as new.
Unless the Whigs work like Old Scratch,
We cannot Polk him through.
Since Matty Y r an is on the shelf,
And wev'etook Frelinghuysen.
We fear our cake's all turt ed to dough,
Our Cider into pizen.
Upon the whole, we admire the cut vastly; td
think we have no little cause to complain of out
disiinguiriied Representative, lor havingoverkvifl
us, in franking his fnvnrs.
Steele says on that subject, in bis recent message
to the Legislature of that State, which is now in ar,sen -
