\Velia y e observed attentively for sometime
past the temper of n portion of the people in
some of the northern states, arid cannot deter
mine precisely their object. Whether it be to
drii'fl i^ e s,,ut b out die confederacy, or to re.
u in her, only to usurp the power of altering
„nd changing her institutions, as their philan-
thrcpic or vindictive feelings may suggest.—
The conduct of Massachusetts, in sending
agents to interfere in the police laws of Sotith
Carolina, and Louisiana, sufficiently indicates
their insolence and arrogance. The resolu
tions of C. F. Adams in the Massachusetts le
gislature, evince a systematic purpose of agita
tions, until the whole north is lashed into a fren
zy, and becomes prepared for their desperate
purposes.

So much for the exports of the two sections
of the country, which furnish means for carry
ing on the trade. The trader prospers: the
capitalist does not; the causes of which we shall
allude to presently. Now let us examine and
contrast the exports and imports of the two sec
tions. From tl.e def* ctive returns of Missis
sippi, Missouri and other states belonging to
the South, we can only present the following
eight southern states in this calculation. 'But
let them suffice, they alone exhibit the disparity.

During the yenr 1842, for which this ca'cula-
tion is made, the total exports were $104,691,-
534, from which amount suhstract re-exports '
of foreign manufactures, and exports of specie
and bullion to the amount of $21,080,136,

pexation of Texas holds this language—“Those ufactures $83,611,318, of which amount the
who are not willing to rest under the exercise eight Southern States above named, furnished
of usurped power, are at liberty to absolve $59,228 990, or nearly two thirds, as we have
themselves from that Union forever. This an-
nexat.on absolves each State from any farther
regard to the Tnion.
The ?lew York Tribune, says: “ The an
nexation «f Texas by meie resolution, is a rev
olution in the government.” And after asking
what is to he done ? answers “ ice say resist to
the last.’ 1
I he Albany Evetiins Journal, in a strain
still fiercer, speaks thus: •• What is lobe done?
Mr. Birney’s faction will probably say petition.
Let them petition Congress, they might as well
petition South Carolina or Texas. The Loco-
focos will say' wait—wait, forbear, We say we
have petitioned long enough. We have waited
and forborne too long, Li:t tUf, W mo party
NOW RAISE THE STANDARD OF EMANCIPATION.
The territory of the United Slates is enlarged,
let us 1 enlarge the urea of freedom. ‘ ”
The Syracuse Journal, after interrogating
himself, declares:—“ i here can be but one
answer to these important inquiries. It is con
tained in the emphatic language of the Albany
Evening Journal. “Let the Whig tartt
NOW RAISE THE STANDARD OF EMANCIPATION.”
What is to be the result of this disaffection
to the Union, this disposition to combine party
organization with the fury of fanaticism to at
tack the South ? Time will determine if it be
the ebullition of tiie moment, or if there is meth
od in their madness. The South Is deeply at
tached to the Union, and athough she bears all
its burdens, and revilings, foreign nnd domes
tic, she is yet willing to spend her blood and
treasure in its defence, as in by-gone nnd hap
pier days. But this devotion to the Union
springs not from a sense ol* weakness and ioa
biliiy to stand al me, though she .s culled ** the
weaker power,” and is in a minority in Con
gress. Her resources are ample to sustain her
on a footing of equality among nations, if she is
ever forced into that altitude by the folly and
wickedness of others.
A distinguished statesman of the north* has
said:—‘-A single staple has saved our com
merce; maintains our navigation, especially
that of the northern nnd eastern stales; sus
tains our exchanges} prrseives th-- American
Union, nnd if duly developed, will est-iblish
American maritime supremacy beyond all con
trol or contest—cotton, the great fulcrum of
commerce, navigation and manufactures.”—
Again he says: “ Let us hold fast to cotton
and sugar, however raised, as indestructible
bonds of peace and pledges of national welfare.”
And further he testifies: “why does the mag
nificent empire of Great Britain, withhold her
blow, and condescend to protest, to intrigue, to
call on her old French enemy to help 1 The
cause is cotton. Cotton bags effectually save
Texas, us in 1815 they rescued New Orleans.”
Let any one incredulous of the latent strength
of the Southern States but examine the public
records, and see her resources; the proportion
which she furnishes toward carrying on tho
trade of this country, and placing it on its foot
ing of equality among tne great nations. Mo
ney is the sinew of war, and her table of exports
exhibit her ability to command that commodity
for all the purposes of peace, and to maintain
her respectability abroad. Aro her sons not
taleMed ? Look on them in the councils of the
country ; measure them with the ablest, and
say. Are they not energetic, when there is a
call for energy ? Let the produce of cotton
testify. A half century ago they exported over
tw» bags of that staple, now their export is over
$50,000,000 in value annually. What can
they not do when aroused by necessity?
The principal articles ofdomestic production
Spoiled from the United States in 1842,
amounted to 883,611,398, exclusive of re-ex
ports of specie and bullion. Of this amount,
three articles of Southern production formed
Nearly two-thirds.
before said. During tht? same year the impor!
into tiie Uniterl St ates, fiom fore'gn countries
| amounted to $100,162 087, of which the ahov
[ Southern States received direct but $15,196
839, leaving the immense balance of S84.965
248, which was imported by the Northern
States, and almost wholly by tiie two States
some of whose citizens now threaten us with
discord and disunion. It appears from the
above that the exports or means of creating the
trade, stand in favor of the South as 2 to 1
While the imports, or the trade itself stand
against the South in the proportion of 5g to 1
Even with this great disparity in their favor, the
north yet seems dissatisfied. In their struggle
to rend the Union, they have not even the poor
excuse of th** boy in ihe table, who cut open
his goose which had lain golden eggs for him
He hoped to gain by his foolish act: they can
expect nothing but lo s from theirs
The north we sec. imports with the meatis
furnished by the South. She also manufactures
and the South who does not, consumes. The
South pays the duty, and the north gets the ben
efit of it; herein consists the reason why one
declines and the other prospers. If is the dif
fercnce between paying and being paid, which
is easily^understood* Now suppose that fanat
icism and party spirit combine and produce the
great consummation they hope—a dissolution of
the Union. What then; Each division organ
izes a separate, bid-pendent government, with
its revenue laws for the support of its establish
ment. The South for instance! deettis 10 per
cent, on imports a sufficient revenue to support
her government, and the north furnishing her
with a portion of her goods, on her own favor
ite theory, that “the importer pays the duty
and not the coi-sunier,” Wdf pay this 10 per
cent., instead of receiving the average of 40 p*-r
cent, from the South, as -lie now does under the
tariff of 1842. This will make a difference be
tween then and now of 50 per cent. against the
north and in favorof the Soutli annually. Ttie
speedy consequences of which, to the two sec
tions, may be easily seen. New York and
Bo-ton would dilapidate and dwindle to insig
nificance, while B ltimore, Norfolk. Charleston,
Savannah and Mobile Would arise to a piotni-
Rent rank among cities, and New Orleans would
be speedily, what stie is ultimately destined to
be, the queen city of the world. Cottdtl, su
gar, rice, tobacco and provisions, would create
imports, and trade would follow. Ol what use
would any extent of canals and railways be to
Northern cities wiihout the means of trade.—
HoW could manufactories, which now require
protection, exist if bereft not only of protection
but of consumers, if cheaper goods were presen
ted elsewhere.
And after years of machination to bring about
this division, by whose side would England be
found, after it had taken place? standing by

the north? Oh no! She manufactures; so
does England ; their interests conflict; there
can be no sympathy between them. England
■would be seen by her dupes, to court the friend,
liest intercourse with the South who produces
the raw material she desires, and consumes the
fabrics she manufactures. All of her aversion
to slavery wouid suddenly turn to fr endship for
those who produced cotton, sugar, rice, and to
bacco, notwithstanding they are slaveholdeis.
England keeps her object—a disunion of these
states—constantly in view, and pursues it close
ly and unremittingly, using every tool which
chance throws in her way, courting fanat'es,
and not -purging clisupp"i>>ted politicians, when
they can he made subservient to her views.

From the Galveston Weekly AVtc», 29lh ult
“ Tne plot is thickening.” Every succeed
ing day, nay. every hour seems pregnant with
the fate of this country. The Theatre of the
great drama is now changed, from the United
States, to Texas. AH the exertions of tiie for
eign agents, with all tlieir threats of war, to
gether with their joint co-operation with the
abolitionists of the North, and the party politi
cians of the whole country, have proved entire
ly unavailing, in that country, to counteract
the irresistible popular feeling of me nation,
and defeat our re-uniou to the p i rent country.
The last and desperate struggle is now to be
made upon our own soil. Now comes the elev
enth-hour off r of our recognition; Now
comes the often reiterated promise of Euro
pean friendship. N-nv again our government
is to be plied with English gold, and power,
and .nfluence. nnd with all the riches of her
commerce. Tne M n sters of France, of Brit
ain, and of the United Stales, are nowin con
clave engaged in a great diplomatic struggle,
and exerting, no doubt, all the resources of
their ihgei.uity, artifice, and intrigue, to opeiate
upon our President, and obtain advantages
over eacli othet. In this great contest, the
Minister of the United Stutes has to battle
against the united power and influence of Eng
land and France—governments that have al
ways heie'tofoie been irreconcilable enemies,
but are now united, with the most cordial un
derstanding, in opposition to slavery, annexa
tion, and me spre.id of republicanism. Upon
the issue of mis great strife ior an ascendancy
on tliis continent, tiie people of Texas are now
looking wall the deepest interest—with almost
a painful anxiety. At no period of our past
history, not even excepting the momentous in
terests depending upon tne battle ofSau Jacin
to, have our ci izens been moved by a more
overpowering sens ition. Action gives relief
to a state of me -tal suspense. Could the peo
pie of Texas rise in their majes'y and puwer,
as when iliey expelled tne Mexican Dictator,
they would Soon convince the world that they
did not throw off domestic vassalage, in order
to be dictated to and contrfiled by foreign in
fluence.
All information from the country, proclaims
the utmost harmony and unanimity; among
our citizens upon the Joint Resolutions. And
though they uo not contain all, that, in strict
justice, we raigut demand, yet there is nothing
embodied in them, incompatible with our lion
or, and nothing omitted, winch will not be sup
pled in accordance wnb those great principles
of justice and compromise. Upon which the
American Union was founded. Our citizens
are not disposed to make captious exceptions,
or cavil about unimportant details, when tlieir
liberties are at stake. Bound to the American
people by every principle of R* ligion, of gov
ernment, and education ; by the ties of blood,
a common origin and destiny, and by the sym
pathy and aid which have been so liberally ek
tended to us during all our past and perilous
career, it would now be a violence to the dic
tates of gratitude, and the laws of nature, to
distrust Heir sincerity and friendship. We
tni reforb rejoice to learn that all our citizens
who have evef been in favor of annexation up
on t* rrns compatible with the Ame<icnri con
stitution, are uoW’ in favorof the Joint Resolu
tions. It is also a mailer ol congratulation that
we have inf -rmution from various sources, en
titled to tin* utmost credit, that •* President
Join s wiil gbe this great measure his cordial
support. It is a measure that will long em
balm his hame in the memory of our people.

Macon, April 15ih, 1946.
From the New Orica mm Picayune, of the Qlh t ns t-
tjesTas.
By the steamship Marmora, arrived yester
day fr<>ni Galveston, we have Texas files to the
2d tost.—the day of her departure: The pa
pers are mostly t<ikt-n up in discussing the An
nexation resolutions: Were we to infer the
opinions of the people from the tone of the press,
we should think the Texans nearly unanimous
in favor of coming into the Confederacy or. the
terms proposed. We have seen n thing fur
ther touching ihe views of President Jones und
bis Cabinet in regard to the measure. A pow
erful appeal in favorof Annexation has been ad
dressed to the people by a committee appoint
ed by the citizens of Galveston.
Maj. Donelsun, U. $. Cbi*ge to Texas, ar
rived hi Galveston on the 27tli ult. and proceed
ed immediately to the scat of government.
At the d te of our last advices from Galves
ton a British ve.-s-1 of war had just reached that
city will) despatches for Capi. Elliott, the Bri
tish Charge, who set out immediately after le-
ceivmg them for Washington. Tins vessel,
which proved to be the sloop of war Elect fa, di
rect frimi Jamaica, to winch place the de-patch
es had been sent by one of the West Innia stea
mers, had despatches also lor Mr. Sa.ignv, the
French Charge. Both the French mid Eng
lish Charges returned to Gaiveston on the 1st
inst. The nature of the despatches by the
El dini had not trafispired: Any number of
suimises were afloat as to the precise character
of the documentsin question, but nothing ceci-
sive w.s known.- The only hope theunti-an-
nexationists entertained of the drfi at of the
measure was, that tiie Electra had brought out
definite and complete propositions for ri>o set
tlement of Mexl an pretensions; whilst the an
nexation party laughed at the idea of British
guaranty, when there was no longer any oc
casion for it, us the independence of tiie coun
try, as regards Mexico, could be better estab
lished by becoming h member of the American
Confederacy, There will be strong efforts
made, however, to produce a rejection of tho
rms offered by Air. Brown’s resolutions.—
The Galveston News, in remarking upon the
struggle about to take [dace in Texas, says :
“Now comes the eleventh hour offer of our
recognition;—now comes the often reiterated
promise of European friendship; now again
out Government is to be plied with British
gold, and power, and influence, and with all
tiie riches of her commerce.”
All information from the country,” adds
the News, “proclaims the utmost harmony and
unanimity amir g our citizens in favor ol tho
oint Resolutions.*’
Apari from the subject of Annexation, our
les contain no intelligence of interest. In
deed the subject seems to engulf every' other
topic.
The citizens of Gonzales recently gave a
public dinner to our old friend Navarro, as a
testimony of ihe respect they entertain for his
rtui-s and patriotism.
The cost of foreign sugars sold in Houston
unng the last twelve months nmounis t<> over
$23,000. The exporis of cotton from the same
city, during the year ending December 31,

Late news from the R o Grande represents
the di-trict between that rivei and the Nueces
to be in the possession of the Cdinanche Indi
ans, who have come down upon tiie country
to the number of 800 hundred or 100t> men—
stealing horses, and in some cases comm liing
murder. The North Mexicans were in gr< at
consternation, and at Matamoras an assault up
on the »wn was apprehended.
