Texas

The poiiteness of our Representativo feo Cor.fress has supplied us with a copy of n letter of Senator Walker, of Mis.-isiippi. relaiive to the Annexation of Texas, in reply to a cali of the peoole of Carrroll Couniy, Ky ., focommunicate nis views on that stibject. It is a pamphlet of 32 solid pages, and ges over many topics. Mr. VV. tliinks this annrxlion may be accomplished in either of tliree ways: hy treaty, aa was done in the case of Louisnnaand Florida; by Congres?, without a trenty, under the 'power to admit new Stalen: or by one of the States of the Union, with the sanction of Congress. Kuch State may enter into compací or ajrreement with any foreign power, with the consent of Congress. Mr. Walker says Texas once be'onged to us, it haviog been pnrehased with Louisiana, but was surrendered by trealy to Spain. Exerlions to obtain it from Mexico by cession were made by Presidents Adom?, JacksoQ and Vun Buren. Tiie two principal objections to annex&tion are the extensión of territorv, and the qnestion of slavery. The highest etiinate of the area of Texas Ï9 318.000 square miles, wliile the remai.ider of the Union ernl-irnces 2,000.000 square miles. The Britfeh Empire is foiir times as large as the Uni'ed Slates with Texas included: lier fernlones in North America alone are larger tlian the U. Stntes and Texas combined. The same objection would apply wilh far greater force to the occupation of Oregon.As to the objection on account of Slavery, hc thinks the Aboütioti party must be pul down, or they will overlhrow tho governrneftt Tliey propose the immediate abohtion of sla - very throoghout the Union. Tliis result he deprecates, bccrtuse, if oceomplished, therc would be no adequate tnarkel for nor hem product?: "the vesscls al the harbors of Boston, JY. York, gnd Philadrlphia, ivovld rol at their tcharves for want of cxchanqable producís to curry: the building of ahips would cease; and the grass would groiv in viany n streel now atlivened by an active and progressive induslry." "In the Soutli, n hu ■ mon heart can conceive, nor tongne describe, the drendful con?equcnces." Tho staves would come to the North, and fill all the jaüs and poorhouees, &c. &c.Besides, f we refuse to rcceive Texns, England will make a dependency, ifnot a col ony, of her. This was ensily done. The largest vote ever polled in Texns was ï2,000. [Abbut one fourlk the vote of Michigan!] Oí these, 1,000 were already a British party; ind the einigrntion of a fnv ihousand Britisli pubjt-'ctp, vho would immediafoly become voters. would give ihcm t.he a?cendency. Another argument for nnnexation is fóüñd in the large market for home manufacture? whicli that terrhory would aiTord. Mr. Walker has long been an advocate of Texas-j nnd he introdnced the resoluiion ïri the SeJiate in Marcli, V337, by whioh her independence wns ackuowledjed. But his eíTorls for annexation will all be in vain.05 Gen. Duif Green hos figured vn the politicnl complexion of the U. S. Senate. - Therp are now L9 Whigs to 2S Democrats. - Tfie term of 13 Whigs pxpires March 4, 1345, of wliich he says eight will be replaced by Democtiits: while Uie four Donvicratic membors whose term expiros then, will be reelecled or replared by Democrals. Tiiey will linve a majority n the Srnate during the nex; administration, whoever mr. y be President .
