COOL IMPUDENCE !
" Should the South be again betrayed by
jese Northern Democrats, they have nothing
O be surprised at. They have again and again
|ujgcil these treacherous allies in their cm-
trace* caressing and caressed in fulsome alii-
ncc : but their professions are all hollow and
false. There is no true love between them.—
hsy will prove in this last act of confiding de-
t cndcnce upon their sympathies and assistance,
Jsc and treacherous, and if Texas should be
imexcd, it will not be by tne aid of Democrat-
: votes.”
The foregoing piece of nffrontery is in the
Mtorml of the Messenger of the 20th Februa-
l. The Editor has not the poor plea of ig-
[orance fur such mendacity—he knows—eve-
! ’ body knows, that if the Whig Senators from
e Soutli would vote with the South on that
liestion, Texas would be admitted without a
Ingle Northern Whig vote. By whom then is
le •* South betrayed”! Again, look at the
ate in the House of Representatives, on the
usage of the Bill for the annexation of Texas.
Vhile one hundred and twelve Democrats vo-
lfor the Bill, only eight WHIGS of the
hole IVhig party voted with them, and they
itre all slavchnlding Whigs. Again, of the
Il2 Democrats, Fti TY three were from the
cr. States, while every Whig voted against
r bill who were from the non-slatlcholding
tales, and eighteen- slaveholding Whigs
ltd against the bill with these allies of the
tytsstngcr ! Who then are the friends of the
outli and the Union, and who have “ betray-
filer”? Let this question he asked through
liber borders, and as it echos along her moun-
lin tops and sunny vales—-this mournful an
ker will reverberate from all her dwellings.
I While many Northern Democrats have yet
le courage to fight for us—-alas ! not one of
}l the Whigs.”
But says the Messenger, ** If Texas should
annexed, it will not be by the aid of De-
oeratie votes 1” This is—if nothing worse,
by clever irony—doubtless it will be annex-
1 bv the multitudinous plurality of eight whig
lies ! I :
[But NI r.. Editor, I put it to all who love their
miry—-who love the South—who love Re*
iblican institutions, whether it is a cause of
il lation that While the whole whig party at
: North have deserted the South and are fast
piling with our and the Union’s worst foes

Jcy that has so bravely fought for and with
fir the last forty years, is beginning
| recoil and alter in the face of this new and
ribie foe! Docs it become Southern men

From the Charleston Transcript.
Washington, Feb. 21.
In the Senate this morning, Mr. Fairfield
presented the resolutions of the Legislature of
Maine, in favor of the immediate passage of
the French Spoliation Bill.
The Navy Pension Bill from the House, was
taken up, read a third time and passed.
After the disposal of several private and lo
cal bills the consideration of the Texas Resolu
tions was again resumed.
Mr. Simmons having the floor, resumed and
concluded his remarks from yesterday in oppo
sition to the measure.
Mr, Merrick next obtained the floor, and to
the great gratification of the friends of annexa
tion, spoke in favor of annexation. Up to this
time Mr. M. has been considered as doubtful.
Mr. Huntington followed on the other side.
I think it probable the debate will terminate
to-morrow night.
In the House, several bills Were received
from the Senate and read twice. Among them
was the bill authorizing the South Carolina R.
Road Company to import, free of duty, suffi
cient iron to test the practacability of an atmos
pheric rail way. It was referred to the Com
mittee on Commerce.
After the passage of some unimportant bills,
the consideration of the General Appropriation
Bill was again resumed in Committee of the
Whole.
Mr. Holmes moved to amend by inserting
$■1,000 for the Charleston Custom House, but
the Chair ruled it out of order.
Mr. Holmes asked for the reasons, but the
Chair said lie was not compelled to give any.
A very summary modeofdisposingof a difficulty,
Mr. C. J. Ingersoll moved to amend by in
serting $62,000 for the outfit of Ministers to
Great Britain, France, Russia, Prussia, Aus
tria, Spain and Mexico. It was rejected, but
at a subsequent stage it was in another form
agreed to. This lias reference to the outfit of
the new Ministers 'to be appointed to those
places, under the coming administration.
Mr. Ingersoll then moved to amend by ad
ding “ For salary of Minister to China $6000,
and outfit $6000.”
Mr. Adams moved to amend by increasing
it to $9,000 salary and $9,000 outfit. This
was agreed to ; also an item allowing $3,500
for Secretary and Chinese Interpreter.
An amendment being offered to the effect
that hereafter the mileage of members shall be
only $6 instead of $S for any 20 miles. Mr,
Slidell moved further to amend by providing
that no member shall be paid for the time lie
may be absent except from sickness. This
was agreed to, as was also an amendment re
ducing the pay of members to $4 per day.—
The question being then taken on the original
amendment as amended, it was rejected by a
large majority.
A great uproar here ensued, members feel
ing very merry. One gentleman moved to
amend the bill by appropriating money to re
pair damages before the “ Flood.” Other
amendments equally ludicrous were moved and
laughed down.
Mr. Payne wanted to have a letter read re
lative to some amendment, but the Chair de
cided it to be out of order.
Mr. Payne. “ Well I ask if it is in order
for the House to act understanding^ on any
subject ? Several cries of no, no, with bursts
of laughter.
The bill was then reported to the House,
and the previpus question moved on the amend
ments. The House then abjourned.
February 22,
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Evans reported
back the West Point Academy bill, witlisome
trifling amendments.
Mr. Choate introduced a bill providing for a
continuation of the Magnetic Telegraph from
Baltimore to New York. There is no chance
of the passage of such a bill at this late period
Several petitions and private bills having
been disposed of, Mr. Huntington resumed
and concluded his speech against the Texas
resolutions. In the course of his remarks, lie
said that some of his constituents wereso much
afraid of a war on this account, with Great Bri
tain, that they were reluctant to send ship on
long voyages.
Mr. Ashley followed in reply, and in advo
cacy of the Constitutional power of Congress
to annex by joint resolution.
After an able speech on the same side from
Mr. Dickenson, the Senate adjourned.
In the House the consideration of the Gen
eral Appropriation Bill was resumed, the ques
tion being concurred in the numorous amend
ments reported from Committee of the Whole.
The amendment appropriating $S000 for
Morse’s Telegraph between this city and Balii-
more, was concurred in without a division.
The amendment appropriating S^OOO for
outfit of Ministers under the coming adminis
tration, was agreed to, as was also that provi
ding $9000 outfit, and $9000 salafy for a Min
ister to China,
Yesterday sin amendment of $5000 was of
fered by Mr. Holmes for the Charleston Cus
tom House, but it was ruled out of order,—•
Subseqnenlly, however, H. managed to divert
the attention of Mr. Cave Johnson, who ob-
jects, to almost every thing, and then succeed-*
ed in getting the amendment, which was this
morning agreed to by the House, It will not
be opposed in the Senate.
The amendment appropriating $69,740 for
books, for members, was agreed to by a vote
of 98 to 64.
An amendment appropriating $80,000 for a
fire proof building for the War and Navy De
partments, was concurred in. Yeas 91, Nays
S2.
Numerous other amendments were concurr
ed in, after which the bill was passed.

Debate In the Senate on the admission
> of Texas.
It will be seen, from our congressional col
umns, that the close of this discussion is at
hand. The purpose of the majority in favor of
the measure to sit it out, os suggested by Mr.
Benton, superceding one to fix a day for the
vote, indicates that the suggestion will at once
be acted on. It is probable, therefore, that
the vote will be taken to-morrow night, or, at
farthest, on Wednesday. Flie debate of this
day was closed about 9 o’clock, by Mr. Mc
Duffie, of South Carolina, with his usual power.
Mr. Allen of Ohio has the floor to-morrow mor
ning. Mr. Berrien gave indications that he
would also deliver his views on the subject.—
Mr. Walker will probably also address the
Senate.
The public is all anxiety os to the issue of
this great question, and speculation i? busy in
forming conjectures. Some suppose the House
resolutions will paso, some the bill brought into
the Senate, some that both will fail; our opin
ion is that both wi.l pass in a blended form,
submitting to the discretion of the President to
be charged with the execution of the measure
the choice of the most suitable mode to accom
plish the common object. All who are really
in earnest to bring Texas into the Union, will
have no hesitation in trusting a President so
devoted to the object, so pledged to adopt the
surest and safest, and speediest steps for its ef
fectuation, with full discretion over all the
means provided in the joint resolutions and Mr.
Benton’s bill. Even those sticklers who favor
admission, but who insist on a treaty as the on
ly legitimate plan of bringing it about, might
sec in this plan the possible accomplishment of
their own views. It includes, in terms, the
treaty-making power as one of the modes of ac
quisition that may be resorted to j and it might
so happen, that this would be found the most
prompt and certain way to the object, and if
it should be so, all the distressing scruples which
harrass so many of the opponents of the meas
ure would at once be blown away. But with
the plenary powers of both the House and Sen
ate proposals, every conceivable project, with
the means to boot, in the hands of a chief ma
gistrate who all are satisfied, will leave nothing
undone that can be rightly done to restore Tex
as to the Union; and with all the rights guar
antied by the treaty by which she first became
ours, and is, in fact, now ours, in virtue of the
will of the people of both countries, who are on
ly awaiting the formulas of legislation to appear
what they really are—ONE PEOPLE.
Prom the National Intelligencer, -51 h ult.
The debate on the Texas question was yes
terday continued in the Senate, in the manner
which the reader will find stated in the account
of the proceedings of that body.
In the House of Representatives, the Senate’s
bill for the reduction of Postages on letters, &c.
was taken up, and the whole day’s sitting spent
upon it. A resolution, passed before the ad
journment, provides that all debate on the bill
shall cease in two hours after it shall be again
resumed in Committee of the whole, the adop
tion of which indicates that there is a majority of
the House favorable to the principles of the bill.
Ensrldnd, France, and the U. States.
The London correspondent of the N. York
Courier & Enquirer, holds the following lan
guage :
“It was generally expected some days since,
that the Texan and Oregon questions would
have been introduced incidentally or indirect
ly, into the speech of Count Mole, and other
members ef the opposition, but all referrence
to the United States, was and will be cautious
ly avoided. The game of M. Guizot, and of
Count Mole, is, for the moment, the same—
in one particular—to profess to court ‘the Eng
lish alliance.’ It cannot, therefore, be anti,
cipated that either will allude unnecessarily to
a subject upon which they would have to pro
nounce in some sort against Great Britain.—
The declaration of King Louis Phillippe to Mr.
King, your Minister, that ‘"in no circumstan
ces” would France take a hostile part against
the United States is tncitly considered a suffi.
cient pledge of friendship—one that requires no
confirmation from either M. Guizot or Count
Mole—either of whom urging it, would be dam
aging his own case, with, or claim for the sup
port of—the British Government. The sym
pathies of France are unquestionably for the
American Union, and against England—but
policy may call for, and exact temporizing, for
tlie European Governments persist in practis-
ing a science which the United States rejects—
I mean ‘•Diplomacy” with its attendants dis
simulation and intriguer Deplorable would be
a war between the American Union and Great
Britain; but a certain result of it would be the
declaration of France in favor of the former.
Not all the visits to Europe and to Windsor,
nor all the interchange of snuff-boxes, poodles,
stag-bounds, and smelling bottles, fto say no
thing of rounds of beef,) could prevent the
manifestation of the Nationol sympathy for tlie
United Slates. Let us hope, however, that it
Will not come to this;”

that if the weather this evening should be un-
pleasant, carriages will be in attendance to

From Wilmcr Sf ,Smith's European Times, Feb. 4,
Prupecia of the Colton Trade, 1S-I.T.
A London conwmporary. which devotes itself mainly to
the statistics of trade, estimate the Cotton crop of the pre
sent year at 2,500.000 bales, and founds upon this calcula
tion the following view of the traffic in the staple:—
."The distribution of the crops of toe last four years has
been as follows: 1841. 1842. 1843. ' 1844.
Great Britain, 850,000 930,000 1,470.000 1,203,000
France, 849,000 308,000 34G.0U0 283,000
Continent, 106,000 131,000 104,000 144,000
Ad. consumption, 237,288 287,850 326,000 346,744
From this statement it Would appear that the supply to
the various markets of. Europe last year experienced a
proportionate decline, but that a steady increase in con-
sumption goes forward in the U. States. From the advices
which we have already received, we have reason to be
lieve that an important increase of shipments to France,
and to other parts of the Continent, wilt take place during
the prasent year, and also that a continued increase will be
experienced*in the consumption of the States. The diffi
culty experienced in procuring Cotton Yarn in this country
for the Continental demand, and the rise in price, cannot
fail to put all the Continental mills in full operation j and
we cannot be wrong in increasing tfur estimate of the ship
ments above even those of 1813, In proportion as the whole
crop is larger. The American consumption and the stock
left at the end of the year should also be increased in sim
ilar proportion. Our estimate will then stand thus »-*

Making, therefore, these very ample allowances for an in
crease to all other quarters; besides an increased export
from our stock here, we may fairly expect 1,470,000 bales
to this country out of a crop of2,500,000 bales ; and the fact
of the exchanges being still much in our favor, renders it
less likely that arty greater quantity, if so much, will be
kept back.
“The srfpply from Brazil and the East Indies was consid-
erably larger in 1844 than in 1843, but smaller than in some
former years. And there is every reason W believe, that
in consequence of the lessened demand for China, and the
continued bad accounts of Cotton Wool from that quarter,
that a still larger supply will be received from the East in
the present year. We will; however, suppose only the
sa'me quantities lo be received from other markets during
the current vear, and the estimate will then stand thus—

Showing an increase of 187,769 bales. Throughout the
whole of these ealculations,estimating the crop at 14,500,000
bales, we have assumed every thing greatly in favor of a
reduction of slock in this country—we have assumed a de
mand for home consumption snd export of nearly 3000 bales
per week more than last yet r—we have assumed a con
sumption and additional stock left on hand in the United
States equal to 110,000 bales more than last year, we have
assumed the direct shipments to France and the Continent
to exceed those of last year by 143,009 bales, and yet, not
withstanding all these extensive estimates, the stock will
eppearto stand at Christmas next, 167,760 bales more than
at the commencement oftheyear, so that, if even the crop
should be reduced from the estimate generally now taken,
even below the yield af 1842-’43, and the whole of that re
duction were lo be taken from the proportion assigned to
Great Britain, our stock at Christmas next would still show
an increase even on that of the 31st December, which was
the largest, not only positively, but even relatively to the
present enormous consumption ever known. Ourgreut ob
ject in entering so minutely and carefully into those esti
mates has been to show, that scarcely under any conceiva
ble circumstances can a reduction ofour preseut stock take
place during the present year, as far as it can be effected by
the extert of the forthcoming crop or the consumption of the
year. Someiliicg will, no doubt, depend on the lateness
or earliness of the crop df ie45-'46 and the portion of it
which may arrive in the two last months of this year,—that
element of course, we have ‘.eft altogether out of the ques
tion.
