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. ’ „ *

Mit. Crittenden’s Masterly Policy.-— 'The Pehn

mortalize, the novel idea of Mr. Crittenden, tvfticli ho
avowed to be his .way lo carry on tho .war against
Mexico, it will not bo bccausc tbcrc arc wanting some
of tho highest essentials of comedy. ' Such.a suggos

and the grave distinctions, as drawn by reverend
scignors, between a slate of bosinity

THE STOLEN ICISS;
ORTIIE FANUIES OF ABEAUTV.' ‘
Janet whs n"n imaginative fcrcnturc. Slio was lull,
she wasslendcr; horncck was as graceful as a swan's
neck, and her head and face wore perfect. 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.
Junct-s mother,scolded her when she waked hcr;bnt
Janet whs tobprctly to he scolded, and so her moth*
cf thought; for shc-kisscd her,-and told her she-was
Ihciaiiest and worst daughter she had, and sho had
foor: and told her, too,that Charles, whom she calh
cd; her cousin, (though he was not,Wf she did not
make haste, Charles would catcli her
abed. -
44 1.Hhould like to scp him catch mo a.bpd," said
Janet, though, of course, she would not Hko any such
thing, -
tout Janpt had just got ouj of her room, when sho
met diaries and his father; Now, when Charles was
a very, little boy, he lost Itis father, and a gentleman
adopted him as hia-son. This gentleman was Janet’s
uncle, and so sho called Charles hor cousini*
“ Cousin diaries, ” said Janet, 41 and Undo Eldrcd,
arc wo going in" the country to-day? ” .
44 To bo. sure wa arc, ” said Uncle Eldrcd, orig in
the country they went.; 1 ..
Now Charles was as good looking a lad rfs ydif
would see in walking from/ the Bowling 'Green to
Union Park. His hair fell-in largo curls-over oars, -
collar,' and everything,, But it was very .pretty hair,
and as long ns he could prevent jt from covdeing up ,
his bright black eyes, bis mother, his father, and Ja>
not said it was a pity to cut it. So it £rcw and grew,
and curled and curled; and everybody said it was very
pretty hair,and.tho black eyes, which it did not hide,
were very, pretty eyes, and that Charles was- a very
t prcttyboy.. , - . x
Whcn Charlcs,and. Janet got out in tho..country,
■ they ramblcd.bvor fields, through woods, and across
meadows, until they got tired. > They then aat down
upon a grassy bank,'which was covered with grass,
that wassomething like grass, for it was soft, like
moss; and if it hdd;bccn tlio best kind of green vel
vet, it wbuld npt-havc. been any‘belter., . , ,
Now when was Hille, quite little, iLknd
been a favorite diversion of Janet to twino her fingers
in among Jiis flowing .curls,rtojbring, them. down
over lho brighthlttckcyPs, and then, when the bright
black eyes could not'sco her,'to steal a - kiss, and bo
chased and chased, and caught’ and kissed her him.

I had a friend in .the Indian country who a
rare narrator,- but suspected of 'embellishment.' He
never failed.in a elor}’. 110 was u genius, No mat*
ter what the incident, ho could relate it, so as to bo
intensely interesting, or irresistibly amusing.- He

“One morning when I was in the IJlackfool coun-*

ICkcmlvo Politeness*
Rowland mil was always - annoyed when there hap.
pence! to be any noisc’irf'tbc chapel or when anything
.occurred to divert the attention of his hearers from
what he was paying. On one occasion a few days
before Ifis death, ho was preaching to one of the most
crowded congregations that ever assembled to bear
him. In the middle of his discourse, ho observed a
commotion in Hie gallery. For some lime he took
no notice of it, but finding it increasing, he paused
in his sermon! and in looking *ln. the"■direction .in
which lire confusion prevailed, he exclaimed—
“What’s the matter there? The devil seems to
have got among you;” - " •• . "
A plain coijnl'ry.looUing man. immediately Started
to his feet, and addressing Mr. Hill in reply said—
