Tia j [Hen ry 6th part. 1st. \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. r The Boston Atlas, in speaking of the an- Flonr, $7,375,356 Pork and hogs, 2,629.403 Beef and cattle, 1.212,638 Manufactures, 8,410,694 Lumber, 3,230 003 Fish, 730.106 Skins and furs, 598 407 Butter ar.d cheese, 338,155 824,574,792 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. Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina* South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Imjmrlt.

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 Cotton, Bice, Tobacco, 847,593,464 9,540,755 1,909.387 859,041,606 Tins following articles were exported by tho n3r tli, conceding to them the exclusive trade m flour nnd lumber, nnd it is to be presumed that a portion r>f the former is furnished by Ma- D'lan'l and Virginia, end a part of the latter b y North Carolina and Georgia, taprjo’l of PernrvLmia. 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. Our correspondent of “ Grape Hill” calls our attention to an article in the la-t Southern Med ical <$• Surgical Journal, from Professor Means, on the subject of an article ol Castor Oil, man ufactured in Troup county by Mr. J. VV iHis.— We have not yet seen the paper containing the article alluded to; ns soon as it comes to hand we shall comply with his request with pleasure. 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. A PUBLIC MEETING* MEETING of the Democratic party of Bibb county will be held on Saturday, the 19th inst., at the court. I house in Macon for the purpose of selecting delegates to 1 represent the county in the convention to be held in June next in Milledgeville. for the purpose of nominating a candi date for Governor at the next election. Other b&sineaa of importance will be brought before the meeting. 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, 1344, reached 6893 hales. 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. Fanner’s Convention. Milledgeville, 31st March, 1845. The Agricultural Convention of tne State of Georgia assembled this day at 12 o’clock.
