Texas

We are indebted to Hon. Mr. McClelland for a copy of an anonymous panv phlet, on Texas, to which even the printer has not put his name. It appears to ba the production of a Colonizationist. Our slave population, the writer assures us in half a century, will amount to twelve or thirteen millions, and they will either extcrminate the whites south of the North Carolina and Tennessee line,or the whites will have tothin them off by cutting their throats. A frican colonization has been justly exploded, and colonization on our own continent is the last alternative. The writer proposes to annex Texas to the Union- to set apart the western portion of it for a colony of free negroes- to admit the eastern portion as one slaveholding State, to offset against Iowa. The negro colony in Western Texas to be under the protection of the Gen. Government, but never to be admitted as a State. This arrangement,he thinks, ought to satisfy all parties. The West would have their appetite for good land satialed; the South ought to besatisfied with one more slaveholding State; and the North should be content that they have to admit only one more slave State,instead of the manv that might be made from that large country. These suggestions will amount tonoth-ing practically. The issue isfairly made in this country between liberty andslavcry. and one or the other must prevail.- - Temporising measures, political or ecclesiastical, will have little mfluence on the ulttmate result. On one point the testimony of the writer, who says he is a citizen of a slaveholding state, is worthy of notice. He affirms that in Maryland, Kentucky, Vjrginia, Missouri and Tennessee, the nonslaveholding voters out-number the slaveholders in the ratio of four or five to one, and that the more intelligent poriion of the people of these States wiil never acquiesce in the idea that negro slavery is to be entailed upon them and their posterity in perpetuity.
