ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
There is one view of this great question

Political bearings, in tho eyes of every liberal

fraught with the greatest consequences,
j To the Christian and philanthropist, how-
lever, the peculiar dignity attached to the
cquisition of this vast and fertile region, is
entirely different from that which enrobes it
with so much beauty in the eye of the states
man and patriot. It is not derived from the
access of Texian arms upon the battle fields

tairiot heroes or the bones strewn upon the
ensanguined plains of Goliad or San Jacinto,
which has endued them with an immortality

pet from the wide field opened to the Union lor

iggrandiscment. It is not these or any of
hesc, seperately, or collectively, which should

hropist, tho most fervent solicitude for its final
onsummation. It is the grand religious and

n!v tho progress of the star of civil zation
ar Westward and Southward ; but the ad-
ance of that far brighter star seen by the
a! epards of old, the star of a true' re

knowledge of a Mediator and Redeemer for

here’ver the wilderness is dotted with thebabi-

portant in another point of view. It is im-

plo, it will strengthen the church of an impor-
ant and highly icspectable body of Christians
in the southern Slates of this confederacy, by
reposing a barrier against that misguided and
fanatical spirit which lately threatened to over

These are some of ihc considerations apart

The sands have all been golden sparks
Which measured out the time,
Since thou, brave friend ! hast been a guest,
In o"! chilly northern clime:
The sweet and dreamy summer’s sun,
That kindles half the year,
The blossoms of thy prairie-land,
We cannot give thee here.
Our eaves are hung with icicles,
Our mountains clad in snow ;
And the jewelry of winter chains,
The brooklet’s silvery flow ;
But the sunshine of thy own bright deeds,
Its genial warmth imparts;
And blossoms are surrounding thee,
From a thousand friendly hearts.
High deeds, high thoughts, enkindle still,
Our northern patriot blood ;
No frost can reach its sparkling thrill,
Or check its ruby flood ;.
Our love will ever linger round,
That bright and fragrant land,
Which owes its wealth and freedom,
To thy strong and willing hand !
To a wilderness of blushing flowers,
Thy sword and lute have given,
High freedom, and the voice of song—-
Those two best gifts of Heaven.
And thou hast won the pale Lone Star,
Its brightest golden beam ;
And from our own dear home afar,
We joy to watch its gleam.

The Spirit of Improvement.
Misfortunes to individuals or communities
are generally accompanied by the redeeming
quality of sharpening the wits, and setting peo
ple upon new enterprises to repair their rava
ges.
The gloom nnd prostration of the cotton
growing interest, which is the grand artery
through which life nnd energy are imparted to
all other interests in the South, have w aked up
the public mind through the Press, to a con
sideration of the capabilities of the country, for
improvement, by some other modes, than the-
everlasting and all absorbing routine of cotton
making. This lias prompted the convocations
of Planters in different places, to take into se
rious consideration, the position of their great
interest. It has led to investigation and light,
and drawn out many valuable statistics, exhibi
ting how the wealth of the State is frittered
away in the purchase from abroad of mules,
horses, hogs, bagging, rope, nnd a multitude of
coarse fabrics and articles of domestic con
sumption, which might be made at home, with
a vast saving to the general pocket. It has
induced the formation of agricultural societies,
which in some counties, as in Harcock, have
br-on attended with the happiest results—cloth
ing its steril fields with verdure, and convert
ing its piney woods into a generous soil, pro
ducing 100 bushels of corn to. the acre.
The good people of Augusta, catching the
enthusiasm, have just had a meeting, and with
a commendable zeal to re-populate their hand
some city, have taken measures by means ofa
canal, to create an artificial motive power to
drive machinery and waken the echoes of
manufacturing industry in her streets. Co
lumbus, blessed by the hand of Nature with a
water power, which rushing down a ledge of
rapids thirty miles in extent, is capable of dri
ving all the spindles in the world, has taken a
bold start in the race of noble competition, and
with one yarn and cloth Factory now in opera
tion, is inviting the capital and enterprize of
the State, to improve its natural advantages.
A new Rail Road mania lias seized, too, up
on some portions of the State, und some long
threads are being drawn through this labyrinth
of illusions.
The Monroe Road is to be revived, and a
new soul infused into its rickety ribs. The
Georgia and Central Roads are struggling to
reach their Western terminus with the State
Rond. A loan by the Alabama Legislature to
the Montgomery and West Point Road, will
extend that rough apology for a Rail Road to
Auburn, 30 miles from Columbus, at which
point, it is to be decided, whether it will turn
to Columbus, or pass by to West Point.—
And n project is now suggested in Savannah,
,m " to unite Macon with Columbus, by the Iron
bonds of a Rail Road.
It is to these last two projects, that we desire
to invite the attention of the thinking heads in
our community. We confess, we are very
much in the fog upon the subject, and unable
to determine what the prosperity of this city
demands in the premises.. Let those who have
a deep stake in Columbus, look into it ; for the
time to decide, has arrived, whether we will
remain apart from a more close and rapid com
munication with Macon, Montgomery, and Sa
vannah, and depend upon the natural roads,
our river outlet and favorable position at the
head of navigation, or whether it is better for
The Force of Ezample.—Although Calvin

course of the abolitionists.

chiser “ what is the outward visible sign or

To tlie Cotton Planters of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alakiiaa, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, 6c. Florida.
A crisis has arrived in the cotton growing bu
siness; prices have continued to decline for a
series of years, until we are compelled to seek
some other channel for an investment of our
capital, or plant less. The latter J consider
the remedy ; and with the conviction that rests
on the mind of every man engaged in the busi
ness, perfectly practicable. Taking it for gran
ted that there is no argument needed to con
vince any man that the cause of the ruinous
low prices we are now getting for our cotton,
is over production, the question that has been ten
thousand times asked is, how are we to arrive
at a concert of agreement, and obligation to
plantless? Nothing more simple. But before
I proceed to lay down my plan, I beg to state,
that if it meet your approbation as to its prac
ticability, all other plans must be entirely a-
bandoned, and the door entirely closed to dis
cussion ; for no matter bow humble the indi
vidual who addresses you, yet the only possi
ble way of success is to take it at it is ; and I
flatter myself that when you read it over care
fully, you will agree that nothing is wanting
but the co-operation of the whole Southern
Press, to steer us safely through our present
difficulties—and I have not a doubt that the
press will come to onr relief.
An easy, simple and effectual plan for the re
duction of the Cotton Crop.
Let every newspaper, in every State, Ter
ritory and county that grows cotton, give no
tice that on Monday, the 2d day of June, 1845,
the citizens of eacit and every county, as afore
said will meet at their respective court-houses.
Let notice also be given by every oilier possi
ble means.
Every county must meet on the same day.
The meeting shall then be organized by the
election of a President, Vice President and
Secretary, and called the Cotton Planters So
ciety of county.
The President shall nominate a sufficient
number of men residing in different parts of
the county, to take the names of every cotton
planter in the county, under the following ob
ligations, viz:
We, whose names are hereunto subscribed,
do solemnly agree and bind ourselves, that for
the year 1846 and 1847, we will plant only
one half the land in cotton, (hands proportion
ed) we have heretofore been in the habit of
planting; provided three-fourths of the capi
tal engaged in growing cotton enter into like
obligations
At this meeting, on said 2nd June, a num
ber of the citizens of each county will subscribe
for and pay to the President of the Society
dollar, with the names of their post
office, for , published
and after that, with the prospect of an increa
sed consumption in China, I doubt whether
we should have soon to return to the same rem

Will the whol-j Southern Press take this
matter in hand ?
COTTON PLANTER.
The New York Herald makes the following
comment .on the news by the Cambria : “ Tho
policy of Great Britain is now to concede—
the most humane and self-preservation policy
i she could adopt. She has abandoned the right
of scarcli-~-ihc makes no allusion to Texas—
she has opened her ports to American pro.
duce—she, in a word, seeks to consolidate
peace—everlasting peace, xcith the U. States of
North America.
This intelligence has come almost unexpect
edly, almost like a clap of thunder in mid
winter upon us. It exhibits at once the pres
ent feeling of Great Britain towards this coun
try and the course she is determined to pursue
to conciliate us. All this feeling has undoubt
edly been produced by the bold and feat less
letter of John C. Calhoun to our j\Iinisler in
France. That famous despatch has done more
to prevent a rupture between England and
America, than any thing we can name.’’

LOVE’S ROMANCE AND REALITY.
Wliat is love 7 ’Tis a bright, ’tis a beautiful dream ;
’Tis a tight from the skies on life’s turbulent stream ;
*Tis the madness of youth—“more insar.e is the cure/*
Like the Dead Sea's fair fruit, dust and ashes allure ;
In fancy 'tis all that a poet can sing,
But in practice a sadly prosaical thing:
Apropos of its pangs, 'tis a species of cholic
Tormen'ing the soul with its throes diabolic ;
An evil contagious, caught oft from a glance
Or a squeeze of the hand at a tea-party's dance.
Then follow soft speeches., soft looks from the eyes
And a bursting of waistcoats by heaving soft sighs,
Songs full of soft sentiment, played out of tune,
Long rides and long walks by soft light of -he moon,

The object of this subscription will be seen
presently.
On Monday, 21st day of July, 1845, a noth
er meeting of the society takes place—and
those who have been engaged in procurin
names will be punctual in attendance. Each
and every name shall then be entered alpha
betically in a book, kept by the Secretary.—
The President and Secretary, or either, with
the assistance of either the tax receiver or the
Clerk of the Court in whose office the Tax list
is kept, shall compare the lists of names sub
scribed to the obligation, with the tax list, and
then, either the tax receiver, or Clerk afore
said, shall certify what proportion of capital of
l,is county is thus pledged, and he shall imme
diately forward the said certificate to the Gov
ernor of his State. The Governor of each
State can then compare each certificate with the
capital of his State, engaged in growing cotton,
and when he makes up his aggregate compari
son and result, he will immediately make the
same known by proclamation in said — ;.
It is desirable that all tho Governors should
make their proclamation by the middle or Iasi
of October, 1845.
On Monday, 8th December, 1S45, another
meeting of each Society will be called in order
to make known to every individual the result
—and it being ascertained by comparison of
the proclamations of each Governor, that an
aggregate of three-fourths of the caoitnl enga
ged in growing cotton in the said States of N.
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee
and Florida, is solemnly pledged—then every
man becomes sacredly bound before his God
and his country, to stand by his pledge—and
every man will doit; as it is his highest inte
rest to do it—and if there should be an agricul
tural traitor on the list, he will be easily de
tected ; as his name is alphabetically spread on
the record of his Society. Any person having
cotton farms and residing at a distance from
them, can be addressed by the Presidents of
the Societies in the counties containing such
farms, and their agents or overseers can be
instructed to subscribe for them.
This is the simple plan for remedying the
evils of too much cotton, and too little money.
It is practicable. Thtee county meetings is
all that is required on our part. The press of
the South has already been engaged in onr be
half for months past; faithfully warning us of
the suicidal policy we have been pursuing.—
One man has said, I would plant less, if I could
be assured that others would. Indeed, this
lias for years been the voice of every one.—-
We have now the remedy in our own hands,
let us apply it. If we pursue our old way of
raising more cotton because the price is low,
we are but, to use a Western phrase, 'piling
on the agony.’ We are exhausting our lands,
our negroes, our stock, ourselves; while Eng
land is laughing in her sleeve, and mocking at
our calamities. She knows, as well she knows
that two and two makes four, that we are gree
dily pursuing a policy which ere long must
make our slave property unprofitable—tho
surest way of bringing at out her darling scheme
of emancipation; for it is a universal law of
nature and nations, that where property be
comes not only unproductive, but an actual
expense to the owner, it will in time be aban
doned. If wo will be wiso to-day, grow less
cotton, get better prices and thereby make oor
slave labor profitable, we can then defy the
world.
It is needless to say to practical farmers, that
by growing less cotton, we can raise more
grain and more stock, repair our houses and
fences and manure, and in a thousand other
ways employ our time, much more pleasantly
and profitably. By planting half the usual
quantity of land in cotton, it may be suppos
ed the best would be selected, which in the ag
gregate would produce about two-thirds the
usual crop. This for two years, will bring
about a healthy balance of production and con
sumption—prices will go up to 10 to 12 cent*,
nf.aj,petit*, earlj and late,
(For your true lovers can never empty a plate)
And by solitude, moping, and woful long faces
'Tis clear tliat the pair presentpiiiful ca«»es—
