The business in the House of Representa
tives, to-day, has been of an important charac
ter. The first measure acted upon was the
bill making appropriations for certain harbors
and rivers, which has occupied the attentinn of
the House for the lost two days.- Mr. I ibbatl s
substitute was ultimately adopted, with the ex
ception of so much thereofast elated to the Lou
isville canal, and in that form the hill was pass
ed. The House, then, during the morning
hour, took up the resolutions from the Select
Committee on the Affairs of Rhode Island,
and they were discussed by Mr. Elmer, ofNew
Jersey,* and Mr. Williams,* of Massachusetts,
and were again passed over. The business
on the Speaker’s table was next in order, and
amongst the documents there was the joint re
solution for the annexation of Texas, which
had been r< turned from the Senate with an a-
mendment. The resolutions and the amend
ment were read, and then it motion was made
to comm'i them to the Committee of the Whole
on lhe state of the Union ; which was ultimate
ly carried, after the House had disposed of al
most innumerable motions which were made to
retard their progress. Afterwords, the House
resolved itself into Commi'tee of the Whole on
the state of lhe Union, and took up those rtso-
lutions; and, after, rejecting all the amend
ments offered, the amendment of the Senate
was concurred in, the resolutions were report
ed to the House, and were finally passed, by
a majority of 132 to 76. That very important
business disposed of, the House again resolved
itself into Committee of the Whole on lhe state
of the Union; and the bill making appropria
tions for the naval service for the next fiscal
year was taken up, and several amendments
were made thereto. The committee ihen rose
and reported it lo the House; when ii was or
dered lo be engrossed fora third rending, and
then read the third time, and passed. The
Houseagain went into Committee of the W hole
on the state of the Union, and took up the ar
my appropriation bill. The bill was coniinued
ns the subject of consideration and amendment
till near 10 o’clock; when ti.ecommittee rose,
and the House adjourned.

In the Senate, to-day, the postage hill, which

of postage at five and ter< routs, instead of five

Tn iho Senate, to-iliy, -Mr. M.llcr occupied
the morning session in an effort to prove that
the government of the United States does not
possess ihepowt-r in any way to effect n union
vv'tli Texas; in doing which, lie maintained
that if there was any right under the ronstitu- j which rendered it necessary to return the hill

red an important communication from the exc- i mit the States of Florida and Iowa was discus-
cutive, the nature of which is unknown; which sed at length,hind finally passed by a vote of 36
bein" done, the Senate took a recess til! five | to 9. At 10 o’clock, p. rn., the Senate was
o’clock.
At 5 o’clock the Senate reassembled, when
Mr. Bagby took the floor, and expressed
much solicitude that this proposition for annex
ing Texas might be made to assume a shape
free from all constitutional objection. Heaver-
red his belief that the peop'e, so far as they
were concerned, had settled the queslion that
Te xns should be admitleJ into the Union, if
it could be done consistently with the pro* isions
of the constitution. He believed it could be
so done—not, however, by tbo pas-age of the
naked proposition which came from the House.
lb« r «Ml an ardent desire that the Cnn-
gress of the Unlira orates, tins session would
pass some act by which Texas might bp ceded
to the United States, He did not believe, how
ever, that it could be done by the proposition
of ti.e House; for that determired nothing, but
mo roly gave the consent of Congress to that
r< public to do what she had an indisputable
right IT do—eiect a new coftist'tution with the
view to her future admission. It was his op-
inion that it would ho more respectable to pass
a law indicating the terms on which the end
could be attained. It was this reason, and be
cause the mode fixed by it was free from con
stitutional objeotio >, and would, with more
certainty, bring that infant republic into the
U tion, that lie preferred the proposition sub
mitted by the senator from Missouri, (Mr.
B niton.) He declared that hu would not go
for any proposition which, in his opinion, did
nut conform to the constitution, or which re- j
cognizes any right whatever in the Mexican |
government over that territory. After he had
concluded, Mr. Upham obtained the floor, and
was, when we last heard from the Capitol, ma
king an argument against tire measure on
grounds of iinconstitutionality and inexpedien
cy. He declared his'opposition to annexation
in any mode that could he devised under the
Constitution to effect that object.
The first business taken up in the House, to
day, was the bill from the Senate to reduce the
rates of postage, &,c. together with the amend,
nifnts agreed on in the Commilteo of the
Whole on the State of the Union. The previ
ous question having been moved and seconded
on tins bill, under its operations the amend,
monta were concnired in, and it was read the
third time, and passed. The House then
spent the remainder of the day in Committee
ofthe Whole on the state of the Union in con
sidering the bill for the improvement of certain
engaged in the consideration ofthe Indian ser
vice appropriation bill.
March 3.
In the Smote, this morning, Mr. Atchison
moved to take up the House bill for the organ
ization of the government of Oregon ; but the
motion was strenuously opposed by Messrs.
Evans, Archer, and Crittenden, on the plea
that a late message from the President of the
United Stales showed that the negotiation had
been going on most satisfactorily till tempora
rily suspended by tbe indisposition of the Sec
retary of State ; and ul so on the ground that a
fit.-fMi«<5inn of tlic measure mnx, uu ik* l».t
ofthe session, would consume all the time re
quired for the disposal of the appropriation bills.
Mr. Allen completely upset all the excuses urg
ed on the other side for not taking up this bill,
by showing that the delay of the discussion to
the last day of the session was entirely due to
the procrastination of the subject day oficr day
by those who now made the iateness ofthe pe
riod the plea of refusing to take up this bill
now. The yeas and naj*s were taken on Mr.
Atchison’s motion, and resulted, yens 21, nays
23—a strict party vote. So the whig majority
of the present Senate, refused to act upon the
bill. Mr. Bagby made apeisonal explanation
in relation to imputations cast upon him by a
Washington correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer. The report of the Committee of
Conference on the civil and dip'omatic appro
priation bill w.is considered and concurred in.
The bill providing for expenses of the Indian
Department, in carrying out Indian treaties,
t&c., was amended and p tssed—yeas 31, nays
2. The navy appropriation hill was consid r-
cd, amended, and passed. A resolution was
adopted allowing the President pro tcm. of the
Senate the salary of Vice President since his
election to the chair of the Senate, deducting
the pay he has received, so that the resolution
gives him the d (Terence out of the contingent
fund. The army appropriation bill was under
discussion when our paper went to press.
The first hour of the session of the House of
Representatives, to-day, was devoted to the re
ception of reports from standing committees,
which, after several bills had been reported,
were discharged from the further consideration
of all the remaining papers in their possession.
Afterwards Mr. McKay made a report from
the Committee of Conference on the civil and
diplomatic appropriation bill, and the report of
the committee being agreed to, tbe bill was

Vice-i'resiaeni ctcci ui me xjoiiea otate#, was imiuUuvcd
by the Committee of Arrangements, aud, being dnly sworn
by the President pro tern., took the chair as President
ofthe Senate, pursuant to the constitution of the United
States, and addressed the Senate as follows :
Senators: In directing the Vice Presidentto preside at
(he deliberations of this body, the constitution of our coun
try assigns to hirn a sphere and a duty alike eminent and
grateful. Without any of the cares of real power; with
none of the responsibilities of legislation, except in rare
conjunctures, he is associated with the dignified delegates
of republican sovereignties; ne is posted by the entire Ame
rican people in your confederated council, partly, it wouid
seem, os an organ of freedom’s fundamental principle of
order, and partly, perhaps, ns a mere symbol of that more
popular and ••more perfect Union.' on which depend the
blessings of our peace, indepeudence. and liberty. His
mission, tranquil and unimposing, is yet noble in its origin
and objects, and happy ns well as proud in its relations to you.
No one, gentlemen, can appreciate more highly or re
cognise more deferentially, than does the incumient of
this chair, the powers, privileges, and rules or forms of the
Senate of the United States, To maintain these, unimpair*
ed and unrelaxed. lie feels it lo be an official duty, second,
i impressive obligation, only to his constitutional allegi
ance. To their exercise the republic owes incalculable
good; and through them lias been gradually achieved a
wide-spread fame for wisdom, justice, mode^'tion, and effi- |
ebney. unsurpassed by any assemblage cf statesmen in for- achievements* of free minds and free handsfunder the |

mouuts from the labors of the many to the coffers of the

which oar republican government was instituted. Under
a wise policy, the debts contracted in our revolution, and
during the war of i8K\ have been happily Mtingui.shed. By
a judicious application of the revenues not required lor

( tect t and defend tbe constitution ofthe United .-nates.
A concise enumeration ot the principles which will guide
I me in tbe administiaiive policy of the government, is not
I only in accordance with the examples set me by all my pre
decessors, hut is eminently befitting tho occasion. ^
The constitution itself, plainly written as it is. the Safe
guard of our federative compact, tho offspring of concession
and compromise, binding together in the bonds of peace and
union this great and increasing family of free and indepen
dent States, will he the chart by which l shall be directed.
It will be rny first care to administer the government in
the true spirit of that instrument, and to assume no powers
not expressly granted or clearly implied in its terms. The
government ofthe United States is one ut delegated and
limited powers ,* and ft is by a strict adherence to the clear
ly granted powers, and by ab-taining from thejexeicise of
doubtful or unauthorized implied powers, that we have the
only sure guarmty against the recurrence of those unfortu
nate collisions between the federal and State authorities,
which have occasionally so much disturbed the hnrmony of
our system, and even threatened tbe perpetuity of our glo
rious Union.
“To the States respectively, or to the people/* have been
reserved “the power.% not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States.’* Each
State is a complete sovereignty within the sphere of its re
served powers. The government of the Union, acting with
in the sphere of its delegated authority, is also a complete
sovereignty. While the general government should abstain
from the exercise'of authority not clearly delegated to it,
the States should be equally careful that, in the maintenance
oCtlieir rights, they do not overstep the limits of powers re
served to them. One of the most distinguished of my pre-
I decessors attached deserved importance to “the support of
the State governments in all iheir rights, as the most com
petent administration for our domestic concerns, and the su
rest bulwark against anti-republican tendencies;* and to
the ‘preservation of the general government in its whole
constitutional vigor, as 'lie sheet anchor of our peace at
home, and safety abroad/*
To the government of the United States has been intrust
ed the exclusive management of our foreign affairs. Be
yond that, it wields a few general enumerated powers. It
does not force reform on the Sta es It leaves individuals,
over whom it casts its proteenug influence, cntiiely free to
improve their own condition by the legitimate exercise of
all their mental and physical powers. It is a common pro-
ternrofeach and all the States ; of every man who lives
upon our soil, whether of native or foreign birth; of every
religious sect, in their worship of the Almighty* according
to the dictates of their own consc.ence ; of every shade of
opinion, and the most free inquiry; of every art, trade,
and occupation, consistent with the laws of the^States.—
And we rejoice in the general happiness, prosperity, and
advancement of our country, which have been the offspring
-‘of freedom, and not of power.
This most ndmitable and widest system of well regulat
ed self government among men, evei devised by human
minds, has been tested by its successful operation for more
than half a century , and. if pieseive-t from the usurpations
«f the federal government on the one hand, end the exer
cise by the States of powers uot reserved to them on the
' other, will. I fervently hope and believe, endure for ages
Yd'eoiiie, and dl*P en ® e die blessings of civil and teiigious
liberty to distant generations. To e'.lect objects, so dear to
every patriot. I shall devote myself with anxious solici
tude. It will be my desire to guard against that most fruit
ful source of danger to the harm mious action of our system,
which consists in substituting the mere discretion and ca
price of the executive*.or of majorities' in the legislative de
partment of the government, for powers which have been
withheld from the federal Government b^r the Constitution.
By the theory of our Government, majorities rule; but this
righi is not an arbitrary or unlimited one. It is a right to be
exercised in subordination to the Constituti»*n, and in con
formity to it. One great object of the Constitution was to
restrain majorities from oopressing minorities.x>r encroach*
ing upon their just rights. Minorities .have a right* to ap
peal to the Constituti in. as n shield against such oppression.
That the blessings of liberty.which our Constitution se
cures may oe enjoyed aHke by minorities and majorities,
the executive has been wisely invested with a qualified ve
to upon t lie acts of the legislature. It is a negative power,
and is conservative in its character. It arrests for the time
hasty, inconsiderate, or unconstitutional legislation; invites
reconsideration, and transfers questions at issue between
the legislative and executive department^to the tributialof
the people- Like all other powers, it is subject to be abu
sed.. When judiciou ly and properly exercised, the Con
stitution itself may be saved from infraction, and the rights
of all preserved and protected.
The inestimable value of our Federal Union is feft ana
acknowledged by all. By this system of united and con
federated States, our people are permitted, collectively
and individoaWy, to seek their own happiness in their own
way ; and the consequences have been most auspicious.—-
I Since the Union was formed, the number of the States has
increased from thirteen to twenty-eicht; two of these have
j taken their position as members of the confederacy within
I the last week. Our population has increased from three to
j twenty millions New communities‘and dtates are seeking
protection under its regis, and multitudes from the Ola
World are Hocking to our shores to participate in its bless-
I -ings. Beneath its benign sway, peace and prosperity pre.
vail. Freed from the buidens and miseries of war. oar
trade and intercomse hare extended throughout lhe world.
Mind, no longer tasked in divising menrs to accomplish or
resist schemes of ambition, usurpation or conquest, is de-
Toiing itsetf to man’s true interests, in developing his fa
culties and powers, and tbe capacity of nature to miuister
to his enjoyments. Genius is free to announce its inven
tions and discoveries; and the hand is free to accomplish
whatever the head conceives, not incompatible with the
rights ofa feltow being. All distinctions of birth or rank
have been abolished. Ail citizens, whether native dr a-
dopted, are placed upon termsof precise equality. All are
entitled to equal rights and equal protection. No union ex
ists between ctiurcb and Slate ; and perfect freedom of o-
pinion is guarantied to alt sects and creeds.
These ore some of the blessings secured to our happy
land by our federal Union. To perpetuate them, it is our sa
cred duty to preserve it. Who shall assign limits to the
can- I will be lost to cultivate a favorable understanding with
meet ' foreign governments, by which our navigation and com-
their public liabilities, and pay oflf their just debts, at the | merce may be extended, and the ample products of our
earliest practioa 1 le period. That they will do so an soon I feilile soil, ns will ns the mnnnfactures of our skillful

One o! the difficulties which we have had to encounter
in the.practicle administration of the government, consists
in the udjustmenlofour revenue laws, and the levy ofthe
taxes necessary for the support of girernment. Jn the
- - - general proposition, tliatnG inure money' shall be collected
by a strict adherence to the clear- titan the necessities of an economical administration shall
requite, all parties seem to acquiesce. Nor does there
seem to be any material difiereuee of opinion as to the ab
sence of right in tbe government to tax one section of coun
try, or one class of citizens, or one occupation, for the mere
profit of another. "Justice and sound policy forbid the
federal government to foster one branch of industry to tho
detriment of another, or to cherish the interests of one por
tion to the injury ofanother portion nf our common country.”
I have heretofore declared to my fellow-citizens that, in
"my judgment, it is the iluty of the government to extend,
as far ns it may be practicable to do so, by its revenue laws,
and all other means within its power, fair ami just protec
tion to all *he great interests of the whole Union, embrn-
cing agriculture, manufactures, the mechanic arts, com
merce, and navigation.” I have also declared my opin
ion to be "iu favour of a tariff" for revenue,” and t
adjusting the details of sui
such moderate discriniinati
amount of revenue needed, and, at the same time, afford
reasonable incidental protection lo our home industry ’
and that I was “opposed to a tariff" for protection merely
and not for revenue.”
The power “to lay and collect duties, imposts and ex
cises,” was an indispensable one to be conferred on the
federal government, which, without it, would possess no
means of providing for its own support. In executing
this power by levying a tariff" of duties for tbe support.of
government, tlie raising of revenue should be the object,
and protection the incident. To reverse this principle,
mid make protection the object, and revenue the incident,
would be to inflict manifest injustice upon all other than
the protected interests. In levying duties for revenue.it
is doubtless proper to make sucli discriminations within
tlie revenue j. rinciple, as will afford incidental protection
to our home interests. Within the revenue limit, there
is a discretion to discriminate; beyond that limit, the right
ful exercise of the power is not Conceded. Tlie inciden
tal protection afforded to our home interests by discrimi
nations within the revenue ranee, it is believed will he ample.
In making discriminat'ons. all our home intere-ts should,
as far as practicable, be equally protected. The largest
portion of our people are agriculturists. Others are em
ployed in mauufaetures, commerce, navigation, and the
mechanic arts. They are all engaged in their resi eetive
pursuits, at d their joint labors constitute the national or
home industry. To lax one branch of this lion e industry
for the benefit of another would be unj'ust. No one of
these interests can rightfully claim an advantage over the
others, or to be enriched, by impoverishing the others.—
All are equally entitled to the Tottering care and protec
tion of the government. In exercising a sound discretion
in levying discriminating duties A'ithin the limits prescrib
ed, care should be taken that it te done in a manner not
to benefit the wealthy few. at the expense of the toiling
millions, by taxing loirrsl tbe luxuries of life, nr articles
of superior quality and high price, which can only be con
sumed by the wealthy; and highest the necessaries of life,
or articles of coarse quality and low price, which the poor
and great mass nf our people must consume. The bur
dens of government should, as far as practicable, be dis
tributed justly and equally among all classes of our popu
lation. These general views, long entertained on this sub
ject, X have deemed it proper to reiterate. It is a subject,
upon which conflicting interests of sections and occupa

cession and eimpromise in adjusting its details should be
cherished by every part of our widespread country as the
only me-ns oT preserving harmony and a c.!;eerful acquies
cence of all in the operation of our revenue laws. Our
patriotic citizens in every part of the Union will readily
submit to the payment of such taxes as shall be needed, for
tbe support of their government, whether in peace or in
war. if they are so levied as to distribute the burdens as
equally as possible among them.

and enjoy with us the blessings of liberty, secured and
guarantied by our constitution. Texas was once a part
of our country—wax unwisely ceded uwn v to a foreign
power—is now independent, n"ml possesses an undoubted
right to dispose of a part or the whole of her territory,
and to merge her sovereignty, a? a separate and indepen

and it only remains for the two countries to ngriJe upon

I regard ibe question of annexation as belongingexcln-
sively to tbe United States and Texas. They are inde
pendent posers, competent to control; mid foreign na
tions have no right lo interfere with them, or to take ex
ceptions to their reunion. Foreign powers do not seem
to appreciate the true ehnraeter of our government. Our
Union is a confederation of independent States, whose
policy is pence with each other and nil the world. To
enlarge its limits, is to extend the dominions of pence
over additional territories, and increasing millions. The
world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our
government. While the chief mngi-lrato and the popu
lar branch of Congress are elected foi s-Iiort terms by the
suffrages of those millions whnaimM, in their own persons,
bear nil the burdens and miseries of wnr, our government
cunilot lie otherwise thntipacilie. Foreign powers should,
therefore, look on the annexation of Texas to the United
Stales, not as the conquest of a union seeking to extend
officers. From those officers, cspec.allv, who are eharg-
, ed with the collection and disbursement nf the public rrv-
| enue, will prompt and rigid responsibility be lequireri,
I Any culpable failure or delay on iheir part to account for

Although, in ot;r country, the - chief magistrate must
almost of necessity be chosen by n party, and stand pledg-

I be should not be the President of a part only, hut of the

The citizen whom it has pleased a people to elevate by
their suffrages from the pursuits of private and domestic
life, may best evince his grateful sense of the honor thus
conferred, hy devoting his faculties, moral and intellectual,
resolutely to their service. This I shall do; yet with a diffi.
dence unavoidable to one conscious that almost every step in
his appointed path is to him new and.untried, and sensible
how dangerous a contrast must occur in the transfer of pow
ers from practised to unpractised hands. In observing,
however, upon this floor, a number of those experienced
and skilful statesmen on whom the nation justly looks with
pride and reliance, I am assured that there can be but little
danger of public disadvantage from inndveriencies or mis
takes, which their counsel may readily avert or rectify.—
And thus, gentlemen, while aiming frankly and impartially,
to exercise the functions of an accustomed station in the spi
rit of the constitute n, for tbe enlarged and Iasi ing purposes
ofa revered country, and with sincere good will towards all
I may cherish tlie encouraging hope of being a 1 le, witn tlie

xviluld overthrow the noblest structure of humar. wisdom,
■which, protects himself and his fellow-man. He would
stop tlie progress of free government, anti involve his coun
try either in anarchy or despotism. He would extinguish
the fire of liberty which warms and animates the hearts of
ltnppy millions, and invites nil the nations of the earth to
I imitate our example. If he say that error and wrong are
committed iu the administration of the government. let hint
! remember that nothing human can be perfect; and that un
der no other system of government revealed by Heaven, or
i -devised by man, has reason been allowed so free and broad
a scope to combat error. Has the sword of despot* prov-
ed to be a safer or surer instrument of reform in govern-
I meut, than enlightened reason? Does he expect to find
I among the ruins of this Uniuu a happier abode „for our
s« arming millions than they now have under it ? Every
l lover of his country mutt shudder at the thought of the pos
sibility of its dissolution, and will be ready to adopt the
patriotic sentiment, " Out federal Union—it mu-t be pre
served".’’ To preserve it, the compromises which alone
enabled our fathers to form a common constitution for the
government and protection of so many States and distinct
communities, of such diversified habits fliterests, and do
mestic institutions, must he sacredly and religiously ob
served. Any attempt to disturb or destroy these compro
mises. being terms of the compact of Union, can lead to
none other than the most ruinous and disastrous consequen
ces.
It is a source of deep regret that, in seme sections nf our
country misguided persons have occasionally indulged in
' srhemes and agitations, whose object is the destruction of
I domestic institutions existing in other sections—institutions
I which existed at the adoption of the constitution, and were
recognised and protected by it. All must see that if it were
possible for them to be successful in attaining tlieir object,
the dissolution of the Union, and the consequent destrue
tion of our happy form of government, must speedily follow.
I am happy id believe :bat at every period of our exis
tence as a nation, there has existed, and continues to ex
ist, among the great mass of our people, a devotion to the
Union ofthe States, wliiuh will shield and protect it against
the moral treason of any who would seriously contemplate
its destruction. To secure a eomimmnce of that devotion,
tlie compromises of the constitution mus. not only be pre
served, but sectional jealousies and heartburnings must bf
discountenanced; and all should remember that they are’
members of the same political family, having a common
destiny. To increase the attachment of our people to the
Union, our laws should be just. Any poliev which shall
l-nd to favor monopolies, o- the peculiar interests of sec
tions or classes, must operate to the prejudice of the into
rests of tlieir fellow-citizens, and should be avoided. If
the compromises of the constitution he preserved—if see
tional jealousies and heartburnings he discountenanced—if
our laws he just, and the government be practically admin
istered strictly within the limits of po-i'er prescribed to
it—we may discard all apprehensions for the safety of the
Union.
With these views of liie nature, chancier, and objects
of the government, and tbe value of the Union, I shall stea
dily oppose the creation of those institutions and systems
which, in tlieir nature, tend lo pervert it from its legitimate
pprposcs, and make it the instrument of sections, classes,
an iindividuals. We need no national banks, or other ex-
'rancous institutions, planted around the government to
couirul or strengthen it m opposition to the will of its au
thors. Experience has taught us how unnecessary they
are a» «uxili»ties of the public authorities, how impotent
for good, and how powerful for mischief.

A national debt has become almost an institution of Eu
ropean monarchies. It is viewed in some ot diem as an es
sential prop tn existing governments. Melancholy is the
condition of that people whose government can he sustain
ed only by a system which periodically transfers large a-
her dominions hy arms and violence, but ns the peaceful
acquisition of a territory once berowii, by adding another
member to oor confederation n-itlt the'ennsent of tlmt

opening to them new and ever increasing markets furtheir
products.
To Texas, the reunion is important, breanss the strong

her, and the vast resources of her fertile soil and genial
Climate would tie speedily developed; while the safety of
New Orleans and of oar »hole southwestern frontier
against hostile aggression,ns well as the interests of the
i\ hole Union, would he promoted bv it.
In the earlier stages of our national existence, the opin
ion prevailed with some, that our system of confederated
Htutes could not operate successfully oxer an extended
territory, ou t serious objections have, at different times,
been made tti the enlargement of out boundaries. These
objections were earnestly urged when we acquired Loui
siana. Experience has shown that they were not well
founded. The title of numerous Indian tribes to vast
tracts of country Ims been extinguished. New States
linve been admitted into the Union. New Territories hare
h.-cn created; and our jurisdiction and laws extend over
them. As our population h is expanded, the Union has
been cemented and strengthened. As our boundaries
have been enlarged, and our agricultural population has
been spread over a largo surface, our federative system
lias acquired additional strength and security. It may
welt be doubted whether it would not he in greater dan
ger o! overthrow,if our present population were confined
to the comparatively narrow limits of the original thir
teen States, tlmn it is, now that tliev are sparsely settled
over a more expanded territory. It'is confidently believ
ed that our system may lie safely extended to the utmost
bounds of our territorial limits; and that, as it shall lie
extended, the bonds of our Union, so far from being weuk-
ned, will become stronger.
None can tail lo see the denser to oar safety- and future j
peace, if Texas remains an independent State, or becomes J
an ally or dependency o( some foreign nation more poiv- I
ertul Ilian herself. Is there one among onr citizens who
would not prefer perpetual pence with Texas, to occa
sional wars, which so olten occurhetweeo bordering inde
pendent nations? Is there, one who would not prefrr
free intercourse with her,to high duties oh all onr pro
ducts and innitufuclurps which enter her ports or cross
her frontiers? Is these one who would not prefer an on- j
restricted comm .mention with her citizens,to the frontier
obstructions which must occur if she remains out at the ;
Union ? V\ hat ever is good or evil in the local inst-tutions I
ol Texas, will remain her own, whether annexed to the
United .''tales or not. Nona of the present States will he |
responsible for them,any more than they are for the local
institutions of eucli other. Tliev have confederated to- !
gather for certain spec iff ax," objects. Upon the same prin
ciple that they would refuse to form a perpetual union ]
with Texas because of Iter local institutions, our fore- I
lathers would have been prevented from farming our pres
ent Union. Perceiving no valid objection to the mens- I
lire, und many reasons for its adoption, vitally affecting
the peace, the safely, and the prosperity of both countries, j

HOPE.
“ Cultivate lhe faculty of hope. It is bettor
tlmn money—for the more you use It, tlie lar
ger it grows.”
Very true—there is nothing like hopelful-
ness—hope on, hope ever. To be sure, most
of us find that when our hope is realized, it is
not the thing we expected it to be. The point
has been attained ; but it is often that distance
lends enchantment to the view, aud we are ra
ther disappointed in the results of our own suc
cess. But what of that ? Is it not a provision
to keep us from indolence and stagnation I—-
Away, then, after another hope—start hopes
in succession, for tlie exercise and health of
your spirit. Always have something to look
forward to; and cultivate the hoping faculty
as an essential constituent of happiness. He
who Ims done with hoping is a living death.—
His vitality is exhausted, and grim d spair de
mands him as her own. Combat such apathy
with all your might. Compel yourself to take
interest, even if it be only in trifles. Be, in
this respect, as much like a child as you can ;
and if the prospect of a new hat, or of another
pa'rof slices, can tickle your fancy 1 , why should
■ ou not enjoy the emotion 1 Mismitlimpy of

London and fails.—A Loudon piper re
marks that it will perhaps starll • some of its
readers “to learn that Iris Grace lhe Duke of
Wei: ington has been much occupied lately in
the duvelopement of an ingenious plan for the

be persuaded that on tlie death of Louis Phil-
lippe the re is too much reason to apprehend
that there will b war with the neighboring
kingdom, whose belligerent tendencies have
been lately expressed in no measured terms,
and he wishes London to have tlie same secu

taken a by coupe dc main.”

graphic description of the place from whence
