Buuu|>|wwc ihe treaty of Spain was obligatory if>eii us, it cea.tca to be so now, because Spain a lost Texas by revolution, and without any lull of our*; and it is not pretended by any one, ,m the United Slates has made any treaty with Mexico, guaranteeing to that country any geogra- bical extent of territory. The United States are ml'ure under no treaty obligations to Mexico, at can be violated by the annexation of Texas. The people of Texas never owed allegiance to Provisional Government of Mexico, as estab- jlicd by Sauta Anna, soon after his elevation to e Presidency—and which has been erected by ■n into a military despotism,—because the con ation of the Mexican Republic to which Texas a party, was practically if not expressly re eled and abolished by his usurpations. Tiie Wernraent to which the people of Texas owed institutional obedience having been thus destroy- they of necessity, according to the laws of ua- ns, formed themselves into a civil state as they the natural and proper right to do; having eta thrown back upon their original rights and •iviltges, not by their own act, but by the usur- tiion and destruction oftheir former Government Santa Anna and his army. The Government Mexico then has no just claim Whatever upon etas, as an integral portion of their dominions, txas lias as grind a right to claim Mexico, as the ter has to claim Texas—and a better right,— 'cause Texas lias remained true to the principles *ibe constitution of 1824, while the other Stales f Mexico turned traitors to those principles. But it is said that Spain acknowledged the inde- "denceof Mexico in December, 183C, and fixed « boundaries including Texas therein. Admit '■itohetru*, and whatfiJrte is there in it, since ^<as had bclbre asserted and proclaimed to the fco, W her sovereignty and independence, had 8 *®ttined it by several successful battles against ** pretensions of Santa Anna, had defeated his -’ny at the battle of San Jacinto, and had taken h prisoner, and was then maintaining her sove- !, *niy and independence, by the use of all the at- utes common to sovereigns. The idea there withal Texas was transferred to Mexico by Spain, 'i'iiculous nnd absuid. flic acknowledgement bn the part of Spaiii of Independence of Mexico, was in effect that Mexican Republic was considered and admit* d by gpain to be sovereign and independent.— ‘<tas constituted no part of the Mexican Republic that time.

J To the Citizen's of Macon : It is made my duty by the Ordinances of the city, to submit to you quaiterly a report, exhibiting the stale and condition of our municipal affairs. In obedience to this requisition of the law; I herewith ldy before my constituency, a full exhibit of the liabilities and revenue of Uio city; also the expenses of the current year, and the quarterly reports of our worthy Treasurer,'showing the receipts nnd disbursements, for the lust six months now about ending. These documents place beyond all donbt, the entire bankruptcy of our city—a fate "that has been cast upon her, by ner elforta to aid the Rail Rond enterprises with which she is counectcd. Nor cs;' this • be considered a rash sonclusion, when it appears tin' our corporation is indebted to the amount of 3287R12 CO, with an annual interest account of $23,000, and a nomi nal surplus of about $8,000 of revenue over and above the expenses of the City Government, pith which to cancell so heavy an indebtedness. I designate this sur plus nominal, because at present, and proK-.bly for an other year, one half of our revenue will be absorbed in citvc'.iange bills, which wc are compelled la iccoive in part for dues to tho city, or be guilty, in nil i’s atrocity, of tho execrable practice of repudiation. When to these is superadded the further fact; that one portion of our Rail Road Stocks is worthless, and the other portion greatly depreciated, the inability ol the city to pay her debts must bo manifest.

In the farther execution of this plan, and byau'hority delegated to Inc, I have cohslituted and appointed Washington Poe and William B. Johnston, Ageutx, to represent thecitvat the proposed meeting, in New York, wno have left some days habk for that purpose. I can but add my earnest wish, that these gentlemen may be successful lu their negotiation, and the conviction that tho interests of Mahon and her bond-holders -wilt equally and alike be etibserrerf, by such a result. Of tho result, you will be advised, when it shall have Iriliisplretl. It has been wiin mo n desirable object, to introduce a more effective police, especinlly in regard to slaves and free persons of color. By the vigilance of our Marshal and Deputy Marshal, this has been in a good degree ac complished. On my accession to office, the practice of slaves hiring tllcirown time, and of free per:bns of color enjoying an unbounded license bf taking jobs and con tracts irl the city, in open violation of the law, presented itself us a great evil. I so regarded it, because it was ait injurious aud illegitimate competition tvilh our regu lar mechanics, nnd because it exerted a corrupting influ ence upon our slakes: I am happy to say, that this evil has been greatly diminished, nnd ti consequent improve ment in life habits of our slnrd population has resulted. By reference to the exhibit hereto subjoined,it will he seen that the sum of $750 is expended upon the I’iro Department. This expenditure has been incurred by tho recent fc-organization of that Department. The Fire Companies during tho last year, having virtually dis banded, tho city was left without any reparation in cash of fire, to arrest tbe destroying element. The inirnt n.-e danger thereby cdnstalllly Impending over the property of tho citizens, induced our worthy Mayor nod Alder men then in office, to reorganize the Fire Companies on a new ami more effective plan. Happily for our city, no occasion has arisen to test tho efficiency of our Fire Companies, hut from the success which lias attended 8iinilarorganizutions in Charleston and Savannah, I can not doubt for a moment, that our city will bo adequately compensated for the expenses thus incurred, by ,tlie piotcbtidu which will bp afforded in the hour of danger, to the property of the citizens. _ - As you will Dave observed, tho city authorities have bestowed Romo attention oh the planting of ornamental shade trees in our streets. It is to bo regretted, that this matter has been so long neglected, and that the ur gent calls upon our Treasury, admit at present of but a small outlay for so valtiablo a purpose. But even n xpended, will ina lew t growth of trees, that _ and comfortable. For the inconsiderable sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, we hnvc planted trees in our most public streets, and a small amount thus invested for a few years, will soon corer Macon with a dense and over-slmdowine foliage, so necessary and grateful in our southern climate. Tho committee of citizens tvhc have had in charge “ Rose Hill Cemetery,” deserve great praise for their attention to this bea'utiful resting place of the dead. Respect for departed friends, is a distinctive characteris tic of a refined nnd Christian community. In “Rose Hill Cemetery,!’ wo have a lovelv burial place, in which tve mar consecrate the dust of tho o we love, and rob even the’grave of its accustomed gloom. The stranger who visits this cemetery, will at once be struck w i:h its pic turesque scenery, and go away favorably impr-rsed with' tlio tasto and refinement of our citizens". As it is out of Uio power of Council, In the present embarrassments of the oitv, to expend money in the improvement of this sepulchral ground, I earnestly commend the subject to the private liberality of our citizens. In conclusion, it affords me pleasure to bear tesiiroofiy to tho fidelity with which the Aldermen, and other ofli. ccrs of the citv, have discharged their respective duties. JAAIE3 A. NISBET, Mayor.
