COTTON MARKET.
The market has undergone a slight im
provement since our last, and buyers have
taken hold quite freely. The accounts by
the last steamer were more favorable than
those previously received this season.—
And we sincerely trust that prices have
reached the lowest point in this country,
and that the present improvement will
be maintained. We alter our figures to
day with great satisfaction. Extremes

TEX VB--PRO«R esß of opinion.
As an evidence of the progress of pub
lic opinion in the Northern States on this
great question. It is only necessary to no
tice the public demonstrations evinced by
all classes of the people in every city, town
and hamlet throughout the northern and
New England States, upon the reception
of the news of the passage by the House
of Representatives, of the Joint llesolu-,
tion for the re-admission of Texas into the'
Union. Almost every Democratic paper
that we receive is filled with public rejoi- j
ciugs, and the proceedings of meet
ings held on the occasion. 1 liese meetings
breathe the true American feeling unin
fluenced by party prejudices or any other
emanation but a lofty patriotism that can
rise superior to sectional prejudices and
desires in all it does, nothing but the per
manent advantage and glory of our com- ;
mon country. Such views are progress- j
ingand will continue to progress with in
creased rapidity among the candid ami
patriotic of all parties and all sections of
the country. And we venture the pie
diction that the day is not far. distant
when the re-admission of Texas into the
Union, will be hailed by every American
as one of the wisest acts ol our Govern
ment since its organization. We have
only room to-day to copy the following
article lrom the New York Herald, giving
a description of ihe heartlt-it public eflu
pions poured forth in the city of New 6 oik
upon the receipt of the news of the pas
sage of the resolutions by the House ol
Representatives:
Crisis of the Texas Question.— Y ostcr
day was a most lovely day ;n New Y oik.
The clear sky—the balmy air-the bright
sun all seemed more like a Southern
•climate than that of the eold North. Ihe
Dark looked as if it were just about to
nut on the green vestments of the joyous |
spring, and the Fountain danced and spar
kled ami leaped as if it had become in
stinct with life beneath the rays of the
noon clay sun. An hundred cannons sent
their thundering echoes all over the city
and neighborhood, telling every body that
something unusual had occurred. Ami
S1( it was. The Texas question has pass
ed a Committee of the House of Repre
scut.rtrves bv the unprecedented majority
of twenty, and this extraordinary facthn>
carried astonishment into the minds of all
parties and all circles and all classes m
it lie community. Hence .he extraordina
ry excitement —the firing ol the guns
ti,c rejoicings in the Park amongst the
partv of annexationists, and the gnashing
of teeth and dreadful anticipations of the
future amongst those opposed to the ex
tension of the boundaries of iteedom to
the utmost limits of ibis hemisphere.
For several days past ibis community (
has been agitated on the Texas question,
arising from the prominence which it has
attained both in this country and in Europe
agitating every district of tire Lmted
States —exciting a tempest in England,
France and throughout the old world
thus distinctly showing that the Texas
question is the question of the day, and ol j
the civilised wrold—the question on which
every other subject connected with the
jmlicv of the great nations of the old ami
new world is to turn. YY ell, it has pass
ed dm House of Representatives by the
•extraordinary majority of twenty—a re
sult which was never dreamed of—and
the probability is, according to the best
accounts, that it will pass the Senate, by
a majority, it is true, but sufficient to de
cide the question at once, in favor of ex
tending the boundaries of this republic
over the whole area of Texas. This po
sition ot the question, will, doubtless, stir
die elements of the opposition here and
throughout the North, and we expect to
see the abolitionists and all those who af
filiate with them, and with the views oI
the British government and the British
press, immediately coming forth in meet
inf’s and denouncing this movement,
whilst on the other hand, the old Jeffer
sonian and Jackson demoracy of the clas
ses and in every section of the of the Un
ion are generally concentrating then
forces in favor of it. The question may
he before the Senate for three or four
i 1 Ir. ‘hat interval we have no
rt 3 ’ “Sry excitement on the
doubt an extraoruiiK r , . , t ,i. e
subject will be devslopci. o
This is undoubtedly one £'i tK-
important questions—if, indeed, >
the most important which has ever f
submitted to the decision of the people o.
this country since the Revolution. It in
volvea, however,, merely the continuation,
no a broader scale, and at a more impor
tant era of the world, of that wise policy
which affected the annexation of Loui
siana, which was secured by Jeffeison.
and was one of the most important pub
lic. measures ever carried out by an\
statesman in this country. I >» IS ,s a
cond step in the greut movement of the
An”k> Saxon race on this continent and
will open the way for future generations
to carry out the idea started by Alexander
Hamilton, the great statesman, ml/.",
when in speaking of the annexation ot
Louisiana and Florida, he talked
ing towards South Amfica. Indeed, we
already perceive that in Detroit and Buf
falo public journals and public writers are
beginning to talk of the propriety and ne
cessity of the annexation of the Canadas
to this country as an equipoise to the an
nexation of Texas, and for the achieve
ment of that purpose, the expediency of
opening a negotiation with Great Britain
for the purchase of those northern British
colonies.
It will thus be seen that* we are on the
brink of a great excitement, which will
last till the question be terminated one
wav or another in the United States Senate.
The prospects are decidedly that the de
cision of the people in favor of the annex
ation of Texas, as indicated by the elec
tion of Mr. Polk, must be carried out by
the present members ot Congress at all
hazards, and at eveiy risk. Let the abo
litionists do what they please—let the
British press and British monarchists blus
ter as much as they choose —it is impossi
ble to prevent the ultimate complete tri
umph of republican principles over the
whole of this Mexican continent.
ERRATA.
Our attention has been called to an er
ror contained in our last paper. It appears
that in our article on Gov. Dorr, Hamp
den Sydney, was used instead ot Alger
non Sydney. Such mistakes will some
times happen when (as in our case) the
Editor, is not present to correct the proof.
Whether it was in the hurry of the mo
ment inserted in the original, or a typo
graphical mistake, it is of no moment to
inquire. We pride ourself upon our inti
mate knowledge with English History.
And if there be two characters in it de-
serving of apotheosis they are those ot
Hampden anti Sydney, the first it will
be recollected was termed the father oj
English liberty, and the second was exe
cuted for maintaining the doctrine, that
the Legitimate Sovereignty known to go
vernments resided in the people. A
pvthagoreau might very naturally commit
the mistake of calling Algernon Sydney,
Hampden Sydney, lor the mantle ot John
Hampden fell upon the shoulders ol the
latter. «
It would be unpardonable even tor a
private gentleman, much less a profes
sional man not to be familiar with the his
tory and character ot these two celebrat
ed patriots. We enrol them among our
pennies and it we do not worship their
statues, wc venerate their memories, and
love with a zeal that almost grows ir.to ad
oration those immortal spirits whose exal
ted patriotism, and manly courage led
them to sacrifice so much for the establish
ment and preservation of civil liberty.
TEXAS.
As wc believed and predicted the reso
lutions annexing Texas to the United
Stales, have passed through the Hoase ol
Representatives. The wonder is, not
that they should have passed, but that
there should have been so much anti-
American feeling in the country as to
cause even a show ot opposition. Mr.
Clay is the only man in the United States
who could have organized even a respect
able anti-Texas party. His wretched
faux pas on this question broke his part}'
'down, and what was much worse broke
him down with it. We told our former
political friends that the Texas question
was strong enough to break any man or
partv down in the country, ami the re-
suit has proved it. _
Pride of opinion, capriciousness, old
party attachments, affectation of eccentri
city, abolition, a silent and under current
flow of federalism, puppyism, dogmatism,
and a thousand other isms, led to the oppo
sition of the whig party to this great na-j
tionnl measure fraught with the glory olj
the country and the fortunes ot the feouth.
True, we occasionally meet with a rational
beiver and a patriot who had reasoned him
selffinlo the belief that it was really impo
litic to receive Texas into the Union.-
There were some rnraattend this descrip
tion, who with a holy horror of John Bull
and his foreign allies, dreaded annexation
as the hoirida causa belli, that would pre
cipitate all the “bearded pards” of Europe
upon the country. . .
The bill passed by 120 to 93, a majority
of 25 being in favor of the measure. Eight
Southern wliigs voting in its favor, and
among them, Alexander Taliaferro lex
ass Stephens. YY hat has become of tfie

itinerant who was scampering over the

tion as a wretched ruse of John Tyler to
force himself upon the democratic party.

Texas and extension of territory as an in

imarvellously strange does it ap

morahle victories. The war which
magnitude, as to completely involve the
future destinies of Great Britain. If it
should he decided adversely to her wish
es, 3he clearly foresees a rival in the Wes
tern world, that in coming time, will ob
scure, and cast into perpetual shade, lier
real and vaunted greatness. The exten
sion of territory, and consequent augmen
tation of population, will not be more
withering to her ambitious schemes ot
aggrandizement on the American Contin
ent. than the dependent condition in which
she will be placed for the staple, from
which she derives not only her prosperity,
but the very means ot subsistence, will
be bumbling' to her pride. It Texas,
through her wicked machinations, could
have been forced into the cruel embraces
of Mexico—she laid the flattering unction
to her soul—that, for a trifling considera
tion, she could have become its purchaser,
and that ultimately, availing herself of the
weakness of revolutionary Mexico and
Spain, she would appropriate the entire
territory of the one, and the possessions
of the oilier, in the West Indies. Then,
then, indeed, in the majesty of power, the
chorus to the National Air, Rule, Brittania,
rule, would have re-echoed over our heads
from her dominions on the North to her
dominions on the South, as a tantalizing
requiem to our self-immolation.
I have said that Great Britain has not
only her prosperity, but her very exis
tence, irr the article of raw cotton. At
present she has no other alternative than
to receive her supplies from the United
States, and lienee she sees and feels that
she is tributary to them. Is it not natural,
apart from that monopolizing spirit of do
minion which knows and recognizes no
higher principle than interest, that she
should be desirous of creating competition
in cultivation ? And in what quarter, after
the partial failure in India, so effectually
as Texas? The United States have all
die means within themselves, whenever
it becomes necessary, in sell-defence or
otherwise, to establish a basis ot entire
cxc/inioeness from all the world ! llow is
it with England ? By the way ot demon
strating, so as to make the filet apparent
to the dullest mind, it has but simply to
be remarked, that the 838,000,000 worth
of the Southern staple which she annually
lakes from us, when manufactured, yields
die enormous amount to her of $150,000,-
000!!! Now, what would he her condi
tion, if she were cut off suddenly from
this profit of $112,000,0()0, which the pro
duct of our luxuriant fields enables her to
realize? A destitution more appalling
than that which would be attendant upon
famine. The more dependent we make
other States upon ns, the more indepen
dent, as a consequent matter, we become ;
and, therefore, make durable advances
towards that standard of greatness by
which nations are measured.
The London Times, (;ind when I quote
from the London Times, I quote from the
sentiment of the British reading public, as j
it is more read than all the oilier journals !
in England,) in a recent editorial—its len
der—upon the Presidential election, con
cludes with the following remarks:
“ If we, in common with oilier Stales
; of Europe, are prepared to resist the an
: nexation of Texas to the United Stales as
an act of rapine, calculated to deprive us
of a useful all}’, to perpetuate slavery,
and to create a rival of maritime power
in the Gulf of Mexico, it would lie no
more than just to maintain the indepen
dence bf Texas against Mexico itself;
and, above ali, by a declaration of the
principal Stales of Europe to terminate
this slate of uncertainty and menace.
Had Texas consented to abolish slavery,
all her political differences would long
since have been terminated ; and, instead
of being an object ol - mingled contempt
and desire to the population of the United
States, she would have placed her whole
social condition on a higher and more se
cure basis than theirs, and would be pre
pared to play a conspicuous part in the
history of the new world.”
Yes, truly, if under British dictation!
Texas had consented to abolish slavery, I
she would have been “prepared to play
a conspicuous part in the history ot the;
new world.” Her “ political differences,”
without any regard to Mexico, would |
have Ijeen at once settled, because, as a
“useful ally,” Great Britain would have
required no h*gl*er justification for termin
ating the war of “ uncertainty and man
ace.” If Texas will consent to abolish
Slavery, and thus become n “useful ally”
to Great Britain, why, she is undoubtedly
an independent Republic! 11, however, I
she wishes to tie annexed to ihe United j
States, the case is altered, according le
British notions of justice, and the measure
must he resisted as an act of “ rapine”
upon Mexico. Lord Aberdeen, in his
celebrated despatch to Mr. Packenham
said, “Great Britain desires, and is con
stantly exerting herself, to procure the j
general abolition of slavery throughout!
the world,” and, in the accomplishment of!
this object, Texas would be to her a most j
“useful ally”—an ally, which her con-!
stant exertions would make instrumental, j
in destroying the peace and security of the !
Southern States of the Union.
Would to Heaven; that Mangum, and
Rives, and Archer, and Berrien, and
Crittenden, and Morchead, and Jarnagin,
and Fostor, and Barrow, and Johnson,
and Benton, could, be placed in the centre
of civilized Europe, and behold from day
to day the stealthy movements of the
haughty “mistress of the seas,” in deroga
ting from our national fame, and plodding
our national ruin. They would, I feel
conscious, because I know them to be pa
triots and individuals of the highest eleva
tion of character, exclaim, “It is desirable
to have Texas without a war; hut Texas
must be ours, whatever the consequences,
as far as relates to other nations.”
COLUMBIAN M YGAZI.vn.
We invite the attention of our readers
to the Prospectus of this the best of all the
American Magazine, in another column
of this day’s paper.
Extract from a letter dated
Washington, Jan. 24, 1545.
S. M. Strong, Esq., Editor of Republic:
Dear Sir:—Texas bits just triumphed
in the House of Representatives hv a
vote of 119 to 9S —nine southern Whigs
voting in the affirmative, among them
Messrs. Clinch and Stephens, Out of all
the New York Democrats we got hut nine.
For several days the friends of Texas bad
been despondent and fearful. The result
is deeply gratifying to them. Could we
of the South have tiad the absolute dicta
tion of a measure, we—or at least many
of us—“-could have pleased ourselves bet
ter. We Would have made sure of the
.great prize by proposing such terms as
we know would have won the assent of
Texas and brought her into the Union.—
But fully believing that what we have
passed will he acceptable to her, wc feci
that* we have done well, and that the fate
of the measure rests with the Senate.—
However, even though the Senate should
reject it, we think that the passage of the
proposition by the House will have an
important effect. It will probably induce
Texas to wait until the Senate shall be
made by the constitutional working of our
system to conform its action to the will
and voice of the country. Entertaining
this view, I cannot but regard this day’s
work in the House of Representatives, as
a great and glorious result.
Mr. Calhoun, I think from all I can
learn, will remain in his present office
under the new administration. Doubtless
the place will lie tendered him; and he
probably will not decline unless fi>r rea
sons which I confidently flatter myself
will not exist.
By the way, the Pennsylvania Demo
crats stood up nobly and unanimously on
the Texas question. Two of the New
Hampshire men stood firm and two
shrunk in the hour of trial. But one man
from Maine voted with us, a noble speci
men of a man both in soul and body, Mr.
Shepherd Carv.
Every Democrat who voted against us
did so on the slavery ground, i. c. they
would have voted for annexation if they
could have had such a division of the
country as they desired between the
slaveholding and non-slavebolding sec
tions. Very truly yours,
A. H. CHAPPELL.
N. B. There was a small amendment
at the end simply carrying out the princi
ples of the Missouri compromise.

ADDRESS TO THE PLANTERS OF
GEORGIA.
YVe ask the readers attention anrf be
speak for the very able address published
in to day’s papei, the carelul perusal o'
of every planter, of every Georgian, and
of every man who cherishes a becoming
pride for his state or feels interested in
the welfare and prosperty of its citizens.
YVe have looked over the address careful
ly and must say, ibart in the main we
think its suggestions well timed and cor
rect, and such as cannot fail, if judicious
ly adopted to check the waning fortunes
of our State and people. We bare not
room to day to enlarge on the subject of
which it treats, it is one however in which
we feel the deepest concern, and will re
cur to it at an early day, and contribute as
far as our humble mite can go towards the
redemption of our Slate, and the advance
ment of of the great industrial interests of
her citizens.
TO OCR COUNTRY FRIEND‘D
YVe wish m>r friends from the country,
visiting Macon, to observe that our office
is situated at the head of Cotton Avenue,
over the store tormerly occupied by Jno.
D. YVinn, Esq., and adjoining the tene
