Texas

It is etatcd tliai the proj;ct of liberating all the slaves in Texas is now openly advoca led, and is Uit grer.t topic of discussiun. The New Orleans papers are alarmed at this. and deprécate the pfluencc of such a step on the Souihern iiistitution. The Cincinnati Gazette says: "The reduced price of cotton arad oflnnds. and the positive expense of slavcry, has occasioncd this change of opinión, but along with t, has 6prung up the moral feeling whicli this evil,whereever it is feit 10 be such, every where excites; and we sliould not be surprised if it were anniliilated there. The populaiion of Texas amounts to one hnndred thousand souls; a fourth of tliCHe (25,000) are slaves; so that probably onc white rnile, out of every fifteen of the white inhabitants is a slave owner! Clcarly. then. if j ry were abolished, ihe interes! of labor, and, indeed, of all classes, the real wealtli of ihe country would be rapidly increased, nnd emigration pour into it so as to make it capnble soon of taking care of itsclf."ffT The New York Tribune says that the j Times, whicli have bee eo long hard, are getling better. The demandfor labor increasee, wages are higher - -the exchanges are low - j business on the Canals augments, ond the Wheat erop is promieing. Tlie class who suflêi most are those indebled for property purchased in speculation times.'"
