The British party, are getting bold, Loth in the United States and Texas. The Baltimore ' American (so named to disguise Its English predilections and principles) quotes the London Times to deter Congress ftom voting the rean nexation of Texas. It will be seen that this great lory journal proposes European interfer ence, on a large scale, “to resist the annexa tion of Texas to the U. States, as an act of ra pine;” while, in the very same passage, it de clares it “to be no more than just to maintain the independence of Texas against itself.” If it be just then that Texas should be independ- Cnt of Mexico, is it not just that she should be allowed to exert her independent right in al lying herself (as she has repeatedly express ed the desire) with the United States, and be coming one of ike independent States of our na tional Union? The Times thinks not; be cause, (as it says) “if the independence of Tex as be retognized by Mexico under suitable conditions, and with the guaranty of Europe, the natonnl existence of that State is safe from every thing but the treachery of her own citi zens.” And therefore, her own citizens are not to be permitted to make the destiny of their own territory; but the “Texas men who look honestly to the future welfare of the coun try they have adopted, (that is, the few men under English influence,) arid who content- plate something more than a base transfer of their national rights to others, deserve to find some, and a handle to others to press the libera] propositions of England upon the Texians, to. gether with the splendid view of Texas inde pendent, growing into a vast republic, in time to embrace not onlylhe limits of Texas but all i the domain once Montezuma’s. This view, to ambitious aspirants, added to the guaranties of England of her independence, and the loan of large sums for ten years, based upon a trea ty that English manufactures shill be lree of duty, is gaining a party in Texas, general Houston is still the leading star; and his in fluence alone can be counted upon to resist the present influence of England and its increasing power. How long this influence of England can be successfully withstood in Teias, is be coming a very questionable matter. I have ta ken a view of the whole ground; giving id nil information its due weight, and I say to you that, unless Congress acts upon this subject promptly, Texas will be beyond ouf grasp, and lost to the Utiitfcd Suites forever, unless regained by the sword. What will be tbe sit uation of our country, with British manufuc tures introduced duty free into Texas ? Com ment is unnecessary. I hazard nothing in saying that, if the pre sent Congress do not act promptly upon this subject ihq next will not have the power. The consent of Texas cannot then be obtained Great Britain will have laid the lion’s paw up on her, and bound her by treaty. 1 am exhausted ; but, from Maj.

From the Baltimore Republican. DivMolniion of tbe IJnUn. We see in some of our Northern exchange the European powers settles this question now, papers, that petitions aro circulating for signa- it will at no distant period embroil the western tures, calling for a National Convention to ex- hemispbore iu war?” And bow? I hero is tihguisli slavery in the Union, or to dissolve.— no conceivable mode by which such a result These open, higl sounding reports may star- could be brought about, except by tbe inter- | tie tho thoughtless and scare the weak minded, position of the power which now ventures in advance to forbid the bans between Texas and our country. Mexico, which is incapable of making war on Texas alone, would hardly undertake to wage a war against Texnsand the United States combined. If, then, the union of Texas with us should embroil the western hemisphere in war, it could only be through the good offices of England. We give the whole context of thc'.e paragraphs of the Jj.on- don Times, as we find them in the Baltimore American, that cur readers may sift them for themselves. "The influence of England, France, and the other powers which have recognized-Texas, but they carry no lightning or destructive ele- | ment with them. When this Union is dissolv I ed, the sapping and mining must be done in a different manner; The manner In which this direful calamity, Should it ever happen, has been discussed hitherto, manifested nothin^ which could nlitriii the fedti of the patriotic.— There has ever been justice enough in tbe peo ple to remove any real grievance which was felt by any particular section of the country, and thereby to remove the ciluse of dissatisfac tion. This Union will neVer be sundered at once, by breaking with one and the same I stroke all ligaments which hold it together, our ties will lie weakened by degrees by. cutting has already been exerted in the shape of the one a t a time, until we arrive at the last. I?._ _ I* - — i.... nrvninrl thn^'A ilneiffnQ I ID I .1 X* t liveliest remonstrances against these designs of the Mexican government. The success of a campaign against Texas would probably be more injurious to MeX’co than actual defeat; fi>r, although it is possible that Santa Am.a nrtv penetrate into the country, lie can neither subdue it, nor expel the anglo-American set- tiers; and he must, in reality, prepare, for a contest with a far more considerable power.— It is probable that the intelligence of Mr. Polk s e lection nny suggest a more guarded course to the Mexican general; but, on the other hand, The only move worthy of respfect and no ticc as looking to the final result; is the recent action of the Methodist Church in the States of North Carolina, Arkansas, and Mississippi.— This action consists in a resolve to appoint de legates to a Southern Convention to be held next May. in order that through it a formal dis solution of the Northern and Southern wiitgs of that Church may be effected. The case of Bishop Andrews has brought about this result, and the fiery monster of Abolition has driven the Southern wing to adopt this course. The the vehement threats of annexation with which Methodist* of the South are numerous nnd the democratic patty have brought in their wealthy—occupy a high rank in the scale of : candidate, may induce the Mexicans to strike a bl 'w in the next few months, before the new government is installed at W ashington. ‘•Under these critical circutiistances, it is not unreasonable to content! that the European powers which have recognized the independ ence of Texas are bound in good policy, as weil as in good faith, to demand of Mexico, as social refinement, are large stockholders nnd I landed proprietors. This is certainly an im portant step, true it can only touch at present matters of conscience, but it may in time to coine, and perhaps, io the lapse of a short time, eventuate in acts of a political nnd muni cipal nature. It has lieen so before, and like causes produce like effects, the Pilgrims were well as of every other power, that this new driven from England, and the Hugenots from Stnte lie acknowledged anil unmolested. If France, by a similar cause, and all the grand we had a sufficient interest in this" question to | results that have followed since the settlement of those two races in America, may be traced to if. The movement now brewing in Massachu setts to get up a Convention to record their own shame in the annals of new treason, will a declaration of the principal States of Europe, to terminate ibis sta ! e of uncertainty and me- i ace. Had Texes consented to abolish slave ry, all her political difficulties would long since have been terminated; and, instead ol being an object of mingled contempt and desire to the population of the United States, she would have placid her whole social condition on a much higher, and more secure basis than theirs, anil would be prepared to play a conspicuous part in the history of tbe New World. It is not easy to steer an even course between tbe slave policy of the United States and the free policy of Mexico or of England. But if there be in Texas men who look honestly to tho fu ture welfare of the country they have adopted, and who contemplate something more than the base trosfer of their national rights to others, they deserve to find support in Europe; and there is too much reason to fear that, unless the intervention of tbe European powers set tles this question now, it will at no distant pe riod embroil the western hemisphere in war. If however, the independence of Texas be re cognized by Mexico, under suitable condition*, and with the guaranty of Europe, the national existence of that State is safe fiom every thing but thS treachery of her own citizens; and tbe growth of her independent interests would soon .place them beyond the reach of temptation.” The Globe says: “But if other evidence were wanting of the interference of Great Bri tain in the concerns of this country us regards its relations with Texas, we have it in the subjoined letter; which (although written, as will be seen from its context, in the interchange of friendlv correspondence not for publication) contains information of such vital interest to the country, that we cannot hesitate to throw it before the public. The venerable patriot from whose pen it comes, will, we feel, assu red, pardon the liberty wetuke, when be sees in tbe article copied front the London 'limes, what vast core kinalion* in Europe nre conti m- plated to give effect to the influence now at work in Texas.” Hermitage, Jan. 1, 18J5. .

Tho Wraicrii nu«l Atlantic Rail Rond. This work, which bus drawn the attention of the Pcop e of Georgia for several years past, nnd, from its slow progression, it is destined to employ much of their attention for lime to come. \Ve «did think, that from the com mencement which was made in th p latter part of last year, that the Road would be in opera tion to the 52 mile station, by tbe first of July next; but we learn, that the Superstructure was laid down beyond Cartersrille; is princi pally nil rotten, and will have to be relaid.— We also learn, that the bridges across the Eto wah and Chattahoochee rivers, will have to be repaired before the road can be put in opera tion-—but we do not vouch for the truth of the report. It is high time the road was in opera tion, as from the progression of the Georgia Road, it will soon be completed to its North ern terminus. The Monroe Road will be fin- ished we understand, during the present year. Much credit is due these enterprising Compa nies, for their untiring exertions on their re spective roads. If ever the Western road is completed, which we have no doubt but that it will io a few years, there is none except the great Russian road, that will exceed in length, the chain of roads leading from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to the seaboard at Savannah and Charleston. The length of the roads to either destination, must be 500 miles, which is, in our conception, the least calculation that can be made. With ibis link of roads connecting the seaboard and the Tennessee river, a pas sage may be effected from New \ork to New Orleans, in five or ten days, which will be the most speedy route that can be travelled.

From what may tbe morbific matter arise 1 From a bruise, or unwlidlsome air which has become mixed with the blood, not incorporated in it, but which is liable to taint the whole mass if not speedily removed. Or the pain may arise from bile which has become bad, rancid, putrid, in cuusequence ofthe want of power in the proper organs to discharge it.— This fain which jso fhightk.ns people is only the symp/ toms of the efforts of Nature, (or the vital principle of the blood,) to EXPEL the' PECAST or in FORK matter, which would otherwise destroy the human fabric. All diseases are ofthe solids or fluids, or both. When we have pain in Our head, or in our foot, in our throat or in our back oa bowels, let us bnt be satisfied that it is produced by the if- forts of our blood to throw out morbific matter, and if this be so, if we can but believe and understand this, our cure will be easy and generally sure. For our course will then be to help Nature to throw off the morbid matter, not to taxe awav the blobd. For the blood. EVERY DROP WE HAVE I?
