It would he strange. indeed, if the treaty-making power (which, ~rider oar constitution, is purely an executive power) could annex territory, and yet that the Executive, and -- both Houses of Congress combined, could nut. Then, if Trance or Spain bad forever refused to cede to us Louisiana or New Orleans, could we never—no. not evert by conqueet in war—have occupied and annexed theta by act of Congress? Cougress, then, having the undoubted power to annex territory, and admit new States, and Texas baring assented in advance, may be either admitted at once as a Territory, or a State, or States, or Congress may provide for the prospective ad- isisition of one or more States from Texas, as has often heretofore been done as to other new States, the whole Question of annexation not being ono whether this klieoversimext has the power, but only how it must be rcieed; and whether only by one of the branches of a government, or by all combined. And if the power vested in Congress by the constitution to admit stew States, does nut of itself embrace territory then constituting a part of the Union, na well as all future acquiektions, there i I no power to admit now States, ex cept out of territory which was a part of the Union when the constitution was formed ; but as this inter pretative cannot prevail without exnelliiig three States froth the Union, and forbidding the admission of lowa, it wrist be conceded that this power of Congress to admit new States does extend to future acquisitions. This being the ease, what can bs more clear than that Congress may admit a State or States nut of Texas, if bar assent is given, as we perceive it has been, in a form as obligatory as a „peaty? In truth, the power to annex territory by treaty &els-not so much exist as a mere implication from the treaty-making power, as from the grant to Congress to admit new States out of any torritury whatever, although nut then a part of the Union; and the right to annex by treaty results mainly as a means of obtaining, when necessary, the assent of another government, especially when that assent can ba obtained in no other manner. S smelling like din was done by tha annexation, by Congress, of the Flo!

Texas, if not fors, is a foreign power; and, if she, by law, assents to td e re-annexation, in whole or in pan, to Lou or to Arkansas, and those states, by law, agree to the soinexation, it is "an agreement or compact" between a foreign power and a state of the Union, and is_oloarly lawful, with "the consent of Congress." it would out be a weggy, which is the exercise of an exec utietipoirer, but a compact by law, and precisely sim- Berta die temente* ceivacts, so called, by which, by acts of Cengresaltid a state legislature, so ma ny agrimments, especially iritil; the new states, have Elm made by mere legislativeyectments.

In his letter as Secretary of State, to Don Onitt, of the 12th March, 1818, John Quincy Adams says: "The claim of Frnnce always did extend eastward to the Rio Bra vo;" "she always claimed the territory which you call TeNll3 as being within the limits, and forming a part of Louisiana.' After demonstration , our title to Tex as is this letter. Mr Adams says: "Krell might Messrs Pinckney and Menroe write to M Cevellos, in 1805, that the claim of the United States to the boundary of the Rio Bravo was as clear as their right to the island of New Orleans." Again, in his letter of the 31st of October, 1818, Mr Adams says Our title to Texas is "established beyond the power of further controversy." [ro aH CONTINULD.] ( 11)c Daily. „Morning Post. THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR PITTSBURGH, MONDAY. AMai, 1844 FOR GOVERNOR, H. A. MUHLENBERG. t:( The Gazette ways tl.ac a paragraph which we pub lishei on Friday, purporting to be an extract from a speed] made by Mr CLAY, in 1391, is a forgery. This as-ert ion is made en din authority of Mr WHITE, late Speaker of the House, who is remarkable only for be ing the pliant tool of Clay. lle may be right, however, in saying that the remarks, as they appeared in our paper, were not made by Mr Clay; but what he admits Mi C. did say, amounts to the same purpose, and is sufficient to convince every honest man that Henry Clay is not the friend of such a Tariff as the mechan ics and manufacturers of Pittsburgh desire. Mt Dv; Y, whose veracity, we presume, the Gazette will tot question, declared, at a public. meeting, :hat all the commercial distress that has afflicted the coun try for many years past, was the legitimate consequence of this Compromise Act. Jn saying this, Mr Denny but echoed the sentiments of a large majority of the whigs of Pennsylvania, yet Mr WHITE in Congress, and Mr %VIA ITE in the Gazette office, both quote Mr arguments in favor ti Hie Cc,mproatiss, to prove that he is a friend of the principle of Protection! In the article correcting the paragraph that appear ed in our paper, we find the following quotaiitin4 from Mrelay'3 speeches, and we are much mistaken if they are such sentiments an the Tariff tnen_tif Pittsburgh can approve: . Mr White quotes from a speech delivered in 1842, in wt., ch Mr Clay said; • “L>t me not be misunderstood, and let me entreat that I may nut be misrepresented. lAM FOR ABI DING BY THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CONI PKOMISE ACT!

Here is another extract from the Gazette: r Clay said the object of the bill was to raise mo ney. Suppose there was revenue wanted, and could only le obtained by going beyond the compromise ,they would have to do it. lie was desirous to preserve the compromise act inviolate, and his hope and belief was that they might by economy be able to du so."--f Ex tract from MrClay's speech in the Senate,extra session, Sept 7, 1841.1 The reader will observe in this paragraph how strung Mr Clay's love is for the Compromise. He desire's to preserve it inviolate, and would consent to go beyond it, only for the purpose of obtaining RE V IleN E.. He would not permit it to be disturbed for the purpose of protecting American industry; the 'pauper labor of Eu rope' might overwhelm our mechanics and manufactu rers, roar still Mr Clay worth:Ur:wet-ye the Comprom ise inviolate, and nothing hut a want of revenue—the meanti to pay his own salary—w ould induce him to go beyond it. If Mr C. believes that we should not go be yond the Compromise for any other purpose than to provide revenue, he, of Unitise, believes "there is no necessity for protectior,"w*-is unwilling to 'raise the question of Protection.' Now what is the difference between the sentiments which the Gazette pronounces a forgery, and those which it. gives as Mr Clay's real opinions? "Absolutely nothing. The Gazette snys explicitly that Mr Clay wilt not go beyond the Com promise except it should become necessary to de so fur the purpose of raising revenue, and the alleged "forge ry" accuses him with saying, "Do not raise the quer libn of protection which I bad hoped had been put Loral:. There is no necessity for protection." Whig sagacity may discover a distinction here, but there is certainly no difference in the sentiments, except such difference as may exist between sweedledum an. tweedledee.

The person who related this, says that he has i no doubt Gen MA KRT. e, if requested would give public contradiction to this "War Club" story, as he is very much mortified by having achievements attributed to him which he never performed, and he does not wish to gain the good will of his fellow citizens through the influence of falsehoods invented by unprincipled poli ticians. Will some of these War Club gentlemen write to the General and get him to give them the facts in the case of the "Indian Massacre." If they do not, the public will, of course, conf;lude that they knew they were putting forth a falsehood when they first published the story. But whether true or false, it is of small importance to the people. If Gen MARBLE had killed five hun dred Indians before breakfast ; we think it will puzzle the whigs to show how that will qualify him for an iin' portent office, or how he can make a talent fur slaying Indians useful in discharging the duties of Governor of Pennsylvania.
