HARPER, LDITOR AND PliDifillETON, PITTSBUIRtifIs TUESDAY MORNING, JACI:ARY 18, 1848 VOICE OF ALLEGHENY COIUNTYI FOR PRESIDENT, JAMES BUCHANAN , SUtdeCt to the decision of the National Convention 7 E. W. CARR, United States Newspaper Agency, Sun Buildings. N. E. corner of Third and Dpck, and 440 N. Fourth street—is our only au thaiised Agent in Philadelphia. Mr. Eampton.—Again. 'Alas! poor Hampton! From our heart we pity the complexion to which he has come at last! Lately chosen the .Representative of the great Whig party of Allegheny county, to early out their views in the National Legislature, he left home with high hopes and excellent spirits. He reach ed Washington, and there avowed his intention to take a stand on the side of his country, and vote for supplies to carry on the war. To make a show of honesty .and patriotism, he voted with the Democrats against Ashmun'sAmendment, and introduced a proposition to annex Mexico to the United States. Learning that his party at home did not approve of his votes and acts, he writes an Abusive and vulgar letter, to which no man who had the least rapid for the proprieties of language ovof life, would have appended his name. Influ eatial and respectable members of the Whig par ty, inform us that the Whigs of this -city are unanimous in the opinion that HAMPTON has for feited all claim to the character of a gentleman by writing such a letter, and allowing his hopeful brother-in-law to publish it to the world. The Whig 'papers in this city that denounced Mr. flaxerms's votes and resolutions, think less of the man since his explanation has appeared Hear what the Editor of the Telegraph says: "The publication of this letter, if we mistake not, will do more injury to Mr. Hampton than anythidg which has heretofore been said against him. It was certainly not the act of a frirnd to 'give it to the public, and we are inclined to be 1 lieve. that the persons who advised its publication -wore not true friends of the lion. representative; nor do we think that the letter will satisfy the Whip of this county of the wisdom and patriot ism of Mr. Hampton's course. • • • The letter is not at all satisfactory, and Mr. Hampton's attempt to bluster and frighten the Whip into silence on this subject, will be without the desired elect." - A correspondent of the Gazette of yEsterday is particularly. severe upon Air. HAMPTON. He commences by saying : "I have read the explanation of our Represent ative, Hon. Muses Hampton, in your paper of this morning, and am •surprised that a sane man should write such a thing and call it an explanation, or wish his constituents to consider it as such." The American, of Saturday last, says : . Hampton's explanation is calculated to do - anything but saveshim." • The same paper of last evening contains a scorching review of Hampton's letter. We copy a ew sentences from it: "With a littleness of soul peculiar to the man, h• supposes the indignation felt at his conduct is confined to some one individual who is envious to occupy his place. We can assure him it pervades the whole Antimasouic and Whig party in the county, whose confidence they feel he has forfeit ed. The only tli.ing that battens his tall, is the fact that he has disappointed no great number of intelligent persons, but on the contrary. perpetra ted a piece of treachery that was generally believ ed to belong to his character.' As to Mr. HAMPTON'S ungentlemanly attack upon -us, in his letter, ye care not a pinch of snuff It gives a fair exhibition of the morals of the how , able Representatii e from this district, and enables his party to form a correct opinion of hia frue character. We shall not retaliate, by . calling Mr. HAMPTON a 'fool," for that would show , H1:-*2 that we had as little regard for the decencies of language as himself—nor yet apply to him the less decorous epithet of knare, for that would be adopting language which is constantly on the lips of his own political friends; but we shall exercise '.that true charity, to which be is a stranger, and forgive his vulgarity and pity his weakness. We fball - rlose our present notice of Mr. Hamp ton, by making the following 'extract from the - "Day Book, - a paper neutral in politics. published in this city. After quoting the attack upon tie editor of the Post, limn Hampton's letter, the Day Book remarks: The above is from Mr. Hampton's letter, pub Fished' in this m truing's Journal. The sentence quoted is extremely indecorous,eand we are sur prised that the representative of any portion of the Union would so far forget what is dal to his official station and to his constituents, as to indulge - insist+ ungentlemanly language. We condemned the Whigs a few days since fur their attack upon Mr. Hampton, and we feel that we are at liberty now to chastise the Honorable member, for his want of courtesy and his desire to insult—ss man ifested in his letter. The editor of the Gazette, writing from the City of Washington, on the 11th instant, says.— _ "Mr. Clay pointed out the spot where he stood in 1814. when making some remarks against Jo siah Quincy, of Massachusetts. This was during the war with Great Britain." Unless time has stifled all recollection of the patriotic devotion manifested by him at that time, how unenviable must have been the reflections of Mr. Clay at that moment! Then he was one of the foremost advocates of bis country, against her enemy;—now he is foremost among 'the advo cates" of Mexico." Then he regarded those who declared war, against Great Britain, as true patriots and all who favored the British cause as traitors, and enemies of their country;—now be declares that those who have sustained their country against Mexico, voted a lie! Then he was associ ated with the Democracy :--now he is styled par exceitenceOhe "embodiment" of Federal Whig.- gery,into 'Whase willing embrace is received every factioniat and faction who can aid in gaining fur it the ascendency. "Mr. Hampton assured me long ago. that he should move the repeal of the act of 1846, if nu other whig member led the w•ay; and the restora tion of the tariff of 1842, in all its essential prin ples,"—Ed. Gazette, This is no more than might be expected ; but, while the country is engaged in war, and a tine re gard to public economy is very commentlab!e in a legislator, would it not be well for Air. Hampton to wait, within a few days of the close of the ses sion before.he shall make his proposition? Whe is very anxious on the subject this plan would prove his consistency ;. and save much expense, But be would maniteethis regard for economy bet ter, by waiting till b,e shall see•a federal majority in both houses of Congress, and a F'edetal, presi dent.'

Iha territory below that line, between. the Nueces and the Rio Grande, was a part of the States'of Tamaulipas. Tamaulipas granted it to various individuals by what were called colonyi grants, under which many settlements were These colonists or the greater portion of them, Err entitlyd to this portion of the territory, joined in the Texas Revolution, and were represented in the. convention of Texas, which subsequently declared: the independence of th it Republic. • • • • • • 51.1 hl 0 i 155.954) , 1,983 (356 Under the colony contracts granted by Taman( ipas, the settlers, at an election in Texas, in '4f or '42, of members of Congress. voted at Corp% Christi, claiming to he citizens of Texas, and them voles were received and recognised by the Illg i verm Imeat. The evidences to the title, too, to tbeirands so settled upon, including all transfers from the • time of the rey . tlution of 34, to the present time; are recorded amongst the land records of Texas. On the first of march, '45, the alternative resolm lions l'or the admission of Texas into the. 'Union were passed. On the 29th of Decembe r Texi as was admitted. and on the same day an act waS passed to extend the taus of the United Slates, over the State of Texas On the 31st December,' '45, Texas was constimed a revenue district, and' the city of Galveston, the only port of entry;, : having annexed to it, amongst other ports, as port 4 of delivery, the port of Corpus Christi, a port the west aide of the Nueces. Under that act a revenue officer of the United States has been op!. pointed for Corpus Christi. On 2d February, '47i: Congress. by an act establishing additional post- . roads in the State of Texas, established, amongst, others, one from Brazos Santiago via Point Isal bel to Fort Brown, oppos'te Matamoros; and one from Cuipes.Christi to Brazos Santiago, a point south of Point Isabel, near the mouth of the Rio: Grande. Now, as before stated, Texas was annexed unties' the bust of the alternative resolutions of the March, '45, Immediately upon the annexation, the Minister of Mexico i General Almonte, demanded his pass , ports, upon the ground that the annexation itself wits a state of hostility to Mexico, and from that period to the march of General Taylor from Cori, pus Christi to the Rio Grande, the frequent efforte of the American Government to terminate the controversy by negotiation, tailed ; and before that march, the Mexican Government were collecting, their forces upon the Rio Grande, with the avowed . design, not of taking possession only of the terri n tory between the Nueces and the Rio Grar,de, and! . •conceding to the United States that portion of Texas which lay west of the Nueces, but of dia.', poring with the United States the title to the wholel of the country between the Rio Grande and the. Sabine, and upon the ground that the whole and! every part of that territory was still a portion of Mexico by virtueof her original and paramount title. Nuw the proposition which ' , seek tomain tain is this, that - as between the government ofthe. United States and the government of Mexico, the formei had in this condition of things a perfect right, and the same right fur the purpose of re pelling the threatened invasion, to march her troops into the territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, as into any territory situated be tween the Sabine and the Nueces. The question is not, whether such a movement of the troops was, under all circumstances, judicious and pru dent. It is not, whether by a different course an actual conflict might not have teen avoided ; but whether, as a matter of right—as a matterof self defence, the United States had not, under the law of nations, full and perfect authority 'and justifiea tion to make auch a movement. Now what are the clear and indisputable facts? The United States had received the republic of Texas into the Union Without antecedently defi ning her boundaries, and under a constitution which reiterated what had been, as far back as '36, a part of her original constitution as an lode. pendent republic—thaz the Rio Grande, from its source to its mouth, was her southwestern boun dary. The United States extended all her laws over the State of Texas, as so admitted. They bad assumed actual jurisdiction at Corpus Christi. They kney that there were citizens between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, who claimed to be citizens of the State of Texas so admitted. They) knew that for nine years the State of Texas. bad. existed as an independent nation ! p re le in o r f o t r b m ii: t e io tt n y , e their most t movement in Il be favorable.
