I aspects Col. Polk will enter upon the dis-
I charge of his duties under circumstances:
I more favorable to 3uch a selection than
an y of his predccessots. He has been
called to the Executive Chair of the Un
ion by unbought suffrages of his coun
iryoien; and is therefore untrammelled
by pledges to any faction or clique. If
he will take this view of his position and
call around him a cabinet composed of
men of abilities, in whom be as well as
his friends, can have implicit confidence,
and whose opinions are in strict accord
ance with the fundamental principles of,
our party and the great questions involv
ed in the late campaign, his administra
tion cannor fail to redound to his own as
well as to the honor and glory of our com
mon country.
THE CABINET.
One rtf these great little men that
crowd the enpitol during the session of
Congress, like a pack of starved lazaroni,
chiefly from New York and other Atlantic
cities, after laboring a great deal to pen
etrate the veil that shrouds the future cab
inet, arrives at the following conclusion :
“Mr. Polk still keeps within his own
bosom his thoughts about meu who are to
enter bis Cabinet. I now begin to doubt
if lie will divulge bis views on the sub
ject until after he is inaugurated. No
man ever elevated to the chief magistracy
of ilt - Unb’ii has conducted himself more
wi.-t lv and prudently than lie has both
during and the campaign that has
renilted in h reflection. The latest news
; float in Washing'O'i is that nobody knows
who arc to hr. Cabinet Ministers?'
AIT'UlitiAT WASHINGTON.
We take Cue following remarks from
tin: Cbail sion Mercury, and its Washing
ton correspondence, under date ot the
Will February:
“Tu-doy ;is well as yesterday, the
House Ims been engaged with the J’ost
Office iirb —iiit: South against the North. ,
The bill is a device to throw the Post Ob
lice on the Customs, and by adding four
or live millions to the burden on commerce
thus to keep up the taiiif r,n the one hand,
atni exempt the northern merchants on the
other. There has been a furious contest
for the last five hours, (it is just daylight)
—the gallant lew from the South trying
every expedient to defeat the hill. The j
North, however, have the majority and
will succeed, as they always have in all
sectional questions’.
“As to Texas, it is safe. Mr. Polk is
here —verbum sap • sat. New York is con
ciliated, and Mr. Calhoun is thrown over
hoard. A New Yorker told me to-day,
that the new President was destined to be
one of the most popular Presidents who
lias ever filled the Executive Chair —of
course he spoke for the North.’
So far our correspondent. The Wash
ington letter of the New York Journal cl
Commerce sketches the new Cabinet pro
gramme as follows:
“The news out of doors now is, that
the cabinet is definitely arranged, as fol
lows: Secretary ot Slate, James Buchan
an ; do of Treasury, George Bancroft, of
Boston; do of Navy, John Y. Mason, ot
Virginia; do. of war, William O. Butler,
•ofKentucky; Post Master General, Gave
Johnson, of Tennessee; Attorney General,
Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi, ibis
rumor has received much currency, and is
much commented upon in the various po
litical circles now assembled at Washing
ton.
The Richmond Enquirer of Wednesday,
speaking of the rumors ol urgent solicita
tions to the new Presidenlon behalt of can
didates for the Cabinet, says:
There is one portrait, however, which
has just been drawn by a Washington
Correspondent of the New York Herald,
of Saturday last, whicti is very much to
our own taste. Here it is:
John C. Calhoun.
“Despatches from England were receiv
ed to-day by the State Department, ol in
terest. Mr. Calhoun stands perfectly aloof
in the contest for the formation ot the
cabinet. He represents no clique, no f ac
tion, and asks nor desires any thing but
what is right, and will submit to nothing
wrong.”
We are as well pleased as the Enquirer
with the portrait. Such a position alone
befits Mr. Calhoun, and his iriends, we
are sure, will not seek to put him in any
other. He certainly will take none other
himself.
The Texas debate was still going on in
the Senate. It was expected to close on
Wednesday. On Monday night Mr. Mc-
Duffie made a speech which is alluded
to on all sides as a grea effort. Mr. .\llen
of Ohio, followed on Tuesday in an able
argument for the Resolutions. Mr. Bet
nen of Georgia, was speaking against
them, when the reports of the day closed,
He, like Mr Rives, goes against the treaty
first, and then against the joint resolution"
because it is not a treaty. But we are
not surprised at anything Mr Berrien does.
By his course on the tariff he has placed
himself, happily, quite out of the reach of
criticism.
We transfer to our columns the follow
ing European correspondence of the Rich
mond Enquirer, satified that its truly A
tnerican sentiments will commend it to
every reader without a word in its praise
from us:
London, Feb. 1, 1845.
To the Editors of the Enquirer :
Gentlemen : The Philadelphia corres
pondent of the Morning Chronicle, in a
letter dated December 30, says: “A State
Convention is to be held in Missouri, now
a large slave State, for the purpose of for
ming anew Constitution for that Com
monwealth. This meeting will convene
in the spring; and it is expected that Mr.
Benton will there bring forward a scheme
lor the abolition of slavery in Missouri.—
Should lie succeed, it is probable that
Kentucky, Virginia and Delaware will
soon follow the example. Also, that
Texas, if admitted into the Union, will
then, if not before, be accepted only as a
free, and not a slave country. It is be
lieved that Mr. Benton will be a leader in
the Polk administration ; and it is known
that he is opposed (though both are dem
ocrats) to the policy and diplomacy of Mr.
Calhoun, whose letter to Mr. King, at
Paris, seems almost confined to the nar
row, and in the North and West, unpop
ular ground of slavery.”
In the circle of London politicians, no
American correspondent for the English
press is considered so well, informed as
the one from whose communication the
above is extracted. He is believed to
be Mr. Peters, Britis h Consul for Penn
sylvania, who writes regularly and
usually at great length, under the signa
ture of “Publicist," and who details mi
nutely every circumstance, from the ar
resting of a fugitive from labor up to the
rumored movements of the General Gov
ernment, calculated to prejudice the slave
portion of the United .States on this side
of the Atlantic. For example, the same
letter which conveys the foregoing intelli
gence, remarks: The last Southern mail
brings us advices of several* tragedies and
other calamities. In Randolph county,
Virginia, and in a house on Cheat river, a
man, woman and child were burnt to
death as an act of revenge, the woman
being another man’s wife, who had elop
ed with her fellow victim. Mrs* Mary
Sweeny, late of Ireland, has been mur
dered in New Orleans, and her paramour,
one Lynch, is in custody on suspicion.—
At Huntsville, Alabama, one day last
week, Mrs. Polly Roberts was robbed and
murdered in her dwelling, which was then
set on fire to conceal the crime. Mr. Mc-
Clelland, of Lexington, Kentucky, has
been robbed and murdered near that
city.”
If a United States ship of war bad en
tered the Thames, and fired a l’aixhan
gun at the British Capitol, the excitement
could dot have been greater, than it was
when Mr. Calhoun’s despatch to Mr. King
appeared in the morning papers of the,
Metropolis. The opinion was almost uni
versal, until then, that it became necessa
ry, Mj. Guizot would, in the name of
France, unite with England in protesting j
against the annexation of Texas to the J
United States. Some intimations of this j
sort had undoubtedly been given, in the :
early part of May, by the French Pre
mier, under the belief that the Texas j
Treaty would he rejected, and that it
would not he renewed during the admin
istration of Mr. Clay, whose election, al
that time, was regarded at the eourtof the
Tuilleries and St. James, as certain, be-!
vond any contingency. He never expec
ted that he would be called upon, howev
er, to put them into execution ; and when
it was ascertained that Louis Phillippe |
disavowed such intention fully, in a con- \
versation with our representative, there 1
was a stronger feeling of hatred engender
ed against him if possible, than against
Mr. Calhoun. It was strenuously urged,
that Lord Cowley should be required
forthwith to demand a “ categorical answer”
from the French Monarch, whether he
authorised such statements as those con
tained in Mr. King’s note to Mr. Calhoun !
—and it is very probable that he lias been
instructed to do so by Lord Aberdeen !
British impudence can only be equalled
by British duplicity.
It is humiliating to an American, who,
alter having beheld all civilized Europe,
believes that there is no such country on
earth as his own, to see statesmen and pol
iticians, in our national councils, arrayed
against each other on questions upon which
not only the welfare, but the perpetuity ot
the Union depends. The interests of Eng
land never suffer from marplots. Every;
man is a patriot when an important object
is to be accomplished. No divisions —no;
factionsare found in favor of the annexa
tion of Texas to the United States. Great
Britain is willing, at any moment, to guar
antee the independence ol Texas against
Mexico, if she (Texas) will consent to j
withdraw the application for annexation
to the United States. The measure is op
posed by all, as a matter of national poli- '
cy—not out of tenderness to Mexico.—
Whig ayd Tory would with one voice con
sent U) this — because they know that the j
“ Lone Star” could be made subservient
to the hungry Lion in all things, and that,
by securing a foothold on the soil which
gave it birth, Mexico and Cuba would
eventually gleam as the brightest diamonds
in the Crown. * * * *
The spirit that carried us through the j
last war, with perhaps a solitary brilliant
exception, is still devoted to the great
cause of American Independence, and is
watching with an Eagle eye, the msidious^
approaches 91 Great Britain, Let it be
temembered, that it \va3 JOHN C. CAL
HOUN, who, as Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, threw the
glove to George 111, 1813—-and when it
was taken up. ANDREW JACKSON,
unsheathed the sword, and did not return
it to its scabbard until he terminated tri
umphantly the mighty struggle on the Bth
of January, ISIS. Where are these il
lustrious individuals to be found now ?
Side uy side—as in days gone by—array
ed against the arrogant pretensions of the
common robber of the world.
It Mr. Calhoun had belonged to the
British Ministry, he could not have des
cribed more truly the motives which influ
ence the Government in relation to slave
ry, than lie has done in bis masterly des
patch to Mr. King. The Cabinet is not
more startled at bis boldness, than over
whelmed by his arguments. While it is
terrified by the daring expression of his
sentiments, it cannot deny the correctness
of his conclusions. And are his well
meant efforts to elevate his country to the
highest pinnacle of national power, to be
counteracted by the degrading passion of
envy? No, no. I trust not. The peo
ple will take care of him. They will ad
vise with each other, and sacrifice, as they
have done before, their personal friends,
(who do not co-operate with them) on the
altar of the public good.
W. H. Daingerfield, Esq., Charge to the
Hanse Towns from Texas, I perceive has
retired from Hamburgh without accom
plishing the object of his mission, as far
as relates to that city. Bremen, however,
has recognized the nationality of his coun
try, and made a Treaty with it. Ham
burgh is emphatically an English city ;
and consequently there is no difficulty in
accounting for its decision upon the sub
ject. She is forced, in obedience to Bri
tish wishes, to decline acknowledging the
Independence of Texas, that Annexation
may be made to appear in Germany as
rapine upon Mexico. It makes one’s blood
curdle in his veins to witness the flagrant
and wicked insincerity of Great Britain.
If Texas will obligate herself not to be
come a part of the United States, Great
Britain will make Mexico terminate the
quasi war ; but, if Texas will not consent
to this, why, she is not Independent, and
Hamburgh is unjustifiable in treating with
a Province of Mexico.
It is, in my opinion, a settled matter,
that the duty on raw cotton will betaken
off during the session of Parliament.—
Memorials upon the subject, to Sir Robert
Peel, have been in circulation for several
weeks, and have been signed by the Abo
litionists, unhesitatingly, in every direc
tion. These miserable humbuggers, who
are so philanthropic that they cannot use
sugar in their coffee produced by slave la
bor, have no scruples about admitting slave
grown cotton free. Is not this circumstance
alone enough to open the eyes of the
Northern States, which oppose the annex
ation of Texas ? It shows, conclusively,
that Great Britain knows of nothing so
elevated as principle, as long as she has an
interest to guard. But, lest her motives
may still be mistaken in the United States,
I here annex an extract frem the Liver
pool memorial, which explains them more
correctly than any remarks which 1 could
offer: '
“ The most formidable rival of the Bri
tish manufactures, in this trade, is found
in the rapidly increasing, *and improved
manufactures of the I’nited Stales, which
may now not only supply ' a great portion
of her home demands, but export very
largely to foreign countries. Asa proof
of the progress of (lie manufactures of the
United States, it may he stated, that the
value of the exports of cotton piece goods
from that country to China, which,in 1827,
amounted to only $9,000, amounted in
three quarters of the last year to $600,000,
and the value exported from the United
States to all other countries, including
China,during tiie nine months ending 30th
June, 1843, according toan official return
laid before Congress, was $3,2:23,650, be
ing upwards of $4,000,000 per annum.
That the American manufacturer has not
only the advantage of being near the place
of protection oi tiie cotton forming the
staple or his manufacture, and being thus
exempt from the charge of this country,
but he is also free from any tax upon the
raw materi.4l to which his Rritish compe
tition is subject. That the duty of five
sixteenths of a penny per pound imposed
on foreign cotton wool imported into the
United Kingdom, alone amounts to up
wards of eight per cent, on the average
cost of American cotton at the port of
shipment during the last two years ; and
when it is considered that nearly six-sev
enths of the cotton on which this duty is
paid, is exported in the staple of manu
factured goods to foreign markets, without
any allowance of drawback, it is mani
fest, that this tax upon the raw material is
a direct burden upon the British, and in
favor of the American manufacturer. *
* * * * That not only the Ameri
can manufacturer, but our other principal
rivals, are also exempt from duty on the
raw materials. In Switzerland, Prussia,
and all the States comprised in the Ger
manic Confederation, cotton is free ; and
in France, although there is a tax on its
importation, there is an eqaivalent draw
back or bounty on the export of cotton
manufactures, while, in the Hanseatic
cities, the duty is almost nominal.”
The memorial concludes by stating,
“by removing an oppressive and unequal
burden upon the manufactures, supplying
more than one-half of the whole exports
of the United Kingdom, would give re
newed vigor to our commercial and man
ufacturing interests, in the benefits of
which the immense body of the laboring
classes dependent on them could legally
participate.”
We have received copies of the speech
es of Messrs. Colquitt, Cobb, anil Haral
son, on the annexation question, and after
this week will yield our columns to their
publication.
SENATOR COI.QI ITT.
We take the following nonce of the
speech of this gentlemafl in the Senate of
the United States, upon the Texas ques
tion, from the Washington correspondent
of the Richmond Enquirer:
To Editors of the Enquirer:
WismsGTiwr, Feb. 20, !545.
Mr. Colquitt of Georgia made one of his most
eloquent speeches in the Senate 10 day, in favor of
annexation, lie placed our elaborating genius,
Archer, in a tight corner, and compelled him to
acknowledge that, what was sound constitutional
law with him last year, when it was proposed to
acquire Texas by Treaty, was by no means die
same now, when it was proposed to admit her, by
action of Congress, as “anew State.” Indeed,
Archer had to admit, in so many words, that his
I views of the constitutional question involved, had
' undergone a radical change since the last session
I of Congress; which, in the estimation of almost
every one hearing him, was equivalent to saying,
that he fought the battles of Federalism on ttie
same principle that a jury lawyer manages the
defence of a fellow indicted for stealing a pig—that
is, by saying and doing any and every tiling likely,
to aid in carrying his point, without the least regard
i to justice.
Air. Colquitt’s peroration was devoted to Senator
Barrow of Louisiana, who received more than a
lair equivalent for his weak attempt to treat the
opinions and services of Ja'cksotrwith contempt.
I say more than an equivalent, because Barrow’s
attack on the old Hero was too puerile to he worthy
of serious notice. But Colquitt paid him, with
interest, for the spirit dictating that part of Ins
speech of yesterday. You will recollect, that Mr.
JFoodhury reminded the Senate of the repeated
warnings from the old sage of the Hermitage, upon
the subject of Texas, and urged that they should
have due weight. v
Mr. Barrow, in reply spoke in the most con
temptuous manner of the old General and his
views, and claimed great credit for disparaging
him and his opinions. This was just the theme
for Senator Barrow’s style of eloquence; which at
all limes, and on every subject, abounds with self
sufficiency. So lie dilated on it with even more
arrogance than usual. Mr. Colquitt, answering
his attack, reviewed the history of Jackson’s ser-
I vices to the country ; and to show the estimation
in which those services were hehl by the American
, people, he instanced the honors heaped on him,
tic.. Mr. C. paid a most beautiful tribute to his
exertions to deli.nl the liberties of the American
| people, when the money power of Federalism
: waged to fierce a war against them in ’3O. He
! then turned to the Louisiana campaign, which en
ded in the ever memorable victory at N. Orleans,
and called the attention of the Senate to the fact,
that the only man in the country, whose respect
the patriotic services of Jackson had failed to win,
was ihe Senator from the State—aye, from the city
itself-—owing him more than the whole Union be
: sides. 1 cannot pretend to sketch Mr. Colquitt’s
remarks. Their effect will ever be remembered by
those who had the good fortune to bear him. 1
never saw men more excited by the force of bril
liant eloquence, and dignified yet withering sar
casm, than were the crowds of people who listened
: with breathless attention to this speech.
The House spent the day in the consideration
of various appropriation bills.
I presume all your letters from tills city, for two
days past, have assured you that the House reso
Unions will pass the Senate, with an amendment,
providing that in case Texas objects to them, then
commissioners, &c., shall be appointed, after the
j terms of Col. Benton’s propositions. No otic
doubts this now. I don’t know when the debate
will cease; but, from appearances, think not for
three or lour days tocorue. Yesterday, Mr. Hale,
j of New" Hampshire, made an attack on our ac
-1 complished friend and most honorable man, Trea
| sitter Seulen, in relation to 9)750, allowed him by
I the proper accounting officer for extra services.
Hale gravely proposed to deduct the sum from his
I next year’s pay! Today, Judge Bayly took up
the subject, and, in a few minutes, so exposed the
gross attack, that the amendment was unanimous
! iv rejecte I.
The plain, direct, and forcible argumentsofGen
' eral Dronigoole and Judge Bayly, on the constitu
tionality of admitting Texas as “anew Slate,”
have firmed the basis of every speech made as yet
1 in the Senate in favor of the measure, as well as of
must delivered in the House on the same side of
j tlie question, it is, indeed, a source of honest
pride to the people of Virginia, that though Jttfer
son, Madison, and John Taylor of Caiolina are
numbered with liie dead, her sons are vet looked
to as the ablest and most trustworthy expounders
of the principles upon which tiie Union is founded.
Yours, truly.
GLORIOUS RESULT TEXAS ANNEXED.
We have just time to announce to our
readers the pleasing intelligence of the

FIRE.
We regret to state that a fire occured
in Savannah,on the night of 2nd inst., by
which a large amount of property was
destroyed. It broke out at 8| o’clock,
P. M., in a brick building on corner
of Bay and Jefferson streets, the
basement ot which was used as a cotton
Ware House, and the second story as an
Odd Fellows’ Lodge. About 2000 Bales
of cotton were in store at the the time,
which was of course consumed. The
Odd Fellows lost their regalia, &c. valued
at 81500; the property destroyed, includ
ing cotton, building, &c., will not vary
far from $76,000, on which iherc was in
sured 26,000.
TO TIIE LOVERS OF GOOD THINGS.
To those who are fond of the good
things of this life, wc shall bestow a favor
by calling their attention to the advertise
ment of W. A. Robertson’s new Family
Grocery, to be found in another column of
to-day’s paper; where can he found eve
ry thing that can tempt the palate of the
epicure or excite the appetite of the gour
mand. Os this we speak knowingly,
having been presented with a jar of his
‘ Fresh Labrador Salmon,’ the recollection
of which makes our mouths even now to
water, and our stomach to cry ‘more.’
We are indebted to members of the
Georgia delegation in Congress for valua
ble public documents.
