THE YOLUNTEER. CARLISLE, THURSDAY, MAY* 38, 1840,, THE DEL NORTE THE TRUE BOUNDARY By the organic law of 1836, says the Washington Union, the. republic of Texas fixed her boundary nt the Rio Del Norte,* and witli this -boundary Jier in dependence was recognised by the United Stales, and by England,.France and Holland.. After the battle of San Jacinto, Jhc Mcxicans retired beyond the Del. Norte, and have* never rcoccupicd the be*- tween that rjvcr and the Nueces. It was-organized into a county of Texas, running-from the Nueces to Iho Del Norte, and has been constantly ■ represented -in the Congress of Tcxas, iri- their conycntlpn, nnd now in the Congress of the United States. A port of delivery of (Jjo Nueces was authorized by a law of our .Congress,- unanimously passed in December last, and opr revenue laws arc now.in full operation lower ihd'ibQgffl.c dnry.of 'as a parl'bf Louisiana Ceded to us by the treaty of 1803, Suph hasbeen the opin ion of our distinguished Statesmen end Presidents, ever since 1803. Mr. Jefferson distinctly announced ,it in repeated communications, and especially on the BtU of July, 1804, his fixed opposition to the “rclin qulshmcnt ofany territory wlmtpycr eastward of thp Rio Bravo.” ' ’ l . , ....Mr. l 1804, says, our boundary “extended wcstwardly to Rip Bravo;” and be declares that the Frcncli commis sioners delivered us the possession of Texas with the “-Dcl-Nortc. as its truc.boundary.”—On-lhe-fith No vember, 1803. Jag. Monroe dcclarcd.lhat “ Wy” the boundary of Louisiana is “the Rio Bravo to the west;” and Mr. Pipkney unites in.the declaration.' 'Mr* Monroe, in his letter of iotli January, 1816, and June 10,1816, says, hone could dispute “our title to Texas;” and he adds, “that our title lo‘tho Del Norte was as clear*as to the Island pf New Orleans.” In his letter of tjic l‘2lh March, 1818, John Quincy Ad ams proves pur title to Texas, and says; “well might Messrs. Pinkney and Monroe write to M. Ccvallos, in 1805, that the claim of the the boundnryof the Rio Bravo was-ns clear as their right to the island of New Orleans.’? Mr. Henry Clay, in his speech of 1820, in Congress, quotes and repeals the same opinion;‘and in, his celebrated anthTexas letter of the I7th April; 1844,~Mr. Clay, says: “The United^tales' acquircd'a title to Texas’extending, as I believe, to the Rio del Norte by the treaty of Louis, iana;” and the distinguished Senator from Missouri, Col. Benton, in one of his aWc letters on this subject, republished by himself in*fhc Globe of the 4tli or May, 18*14, says: ■ • . . , • “The best and most numerous harbors on the qon lincntnl coast of of Mexico lic bctwccn lbc Sabine and tho mouth of the Rio dcl.Nortc. As a commercial power, owning the great river which carries the commerce of .an empire into the Gulf, we hadsthc greatest need for thcsp harbors. By tho acquisition of Louisiana we obtained them ; by the new boundary established on our southwest frontier in 1810 wogaVc them away.” ■ “ Before the establishment 6f this boundary all the country to tho ytVest of the lower Mississippi quite to tho Rio del Norte was ours,” That . Texas was ours by the treaty of 1803,’and (Jiat its boundary extended to the del Norte, is proved by the concurrent authority of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,’Adams, Pinkney, Benton, ar.d Clay. It was tho boundary fixed by-Texas in bor organic law of 1836, and beyond which the’Mexicans were then driven. And if Texas had no other claim to the country between the Nueces and del Norte, that by conqucst'and occupation would bo complete. ’ „ * Note.—The Rio Grande, Jtio J?«r<l.‘nna Rio dcjjforlc. ore so many different names of tho parae great river, which rises m tfic Southern slope of the Rocky Mountains, nnrt runs near ly due South oloioel 2,000 miles into the Gulf of Mexico.

Let the reader imagine a perfect head and face, and lie will bo in possession of the right idea of what Janet -was, and how she looked. Janet was very young—only sixteen—and Janqt was a beauty. (fuo afternoon—it was four o’clock,—Janet look up a hook, which was full of pretty little love talcs. Ah! Janet was an imaginative creature. She did not put that book down again until ten o’clock at night. Janet slept upon one of the prettiest little beds in one of the prettiest little rooms that her father’s house (it was a very pretty little Ijousc) contained. If it could have been permitted to any one to see Janet en ter her room that night, and place her lamp on the table,' and sit down on her bed, and gazounon a cer tain part of tho carpel in deep revery, anti not sec that part of the carpet at all, but see tho lovers, and the fathers, and all-the characters, in tho story she had been reading—l say if ii could have been permit ted to.any one to see Janet then, she would have been token for a spirit—a mere spirit, without a particle of flesh and blood. ‘ 'lJut v nohody was permitted .to see her; and so Janet slept and waked, and it was* morning.* But it was very late hi the morning, and Janet got a scolding.
