TIMAS ANNEX.4.IION.—A letter of

li•il to it, has 'made its appearance. The
letter was drawn out by one from Mr. Ty

The 'revelations in this letter of Gen.
Houston arc not less extraordinary than
were the causen.which, Mr Tyler alleges,
induced his action in the matter of the an
imation of Texas. It will be seen that
Gen. Honshu' gives what may be called
a flat tleuial to the Material statements of
Mr. Tyler, and in doing this makes ad
missions quite as remarkable as anything
known to the public of the whole course of
thiii - afittir: Mr. Tyler says lie was induc
ed to take the initiative steps in the annex
ation, because 'he had received ”euthentic
information" that other governments were
moving to place Texas in opposition to
the interests of the United States. Con.
Houston gives this a distinct denial, and
atlinitis that all that was charged in the
matter. in Texas and out of it, was got tip
for the purpose of exciting the jealousy or
fears at the United States, and as a means
to draw theist in favoring annexation—that

The Russian tyrant might have extused
the most damnable national wrong and
robbery by making the same plea When
unfortunate Poland - Was blotted from the
map of nations. England might talk of
“manit'ast destiny," while butchering the
Chinese and with as much justice. So
could , any power that acts upon the prin

checked. The people can remedy the
matter if they will. We hope they will by
saying to our rulers no more Territory.

PIJ EMIT OF KNOWLEDGE UNDER D I EFT
CULTIES.—Tho following is a most remark
able and praise-worthy instance of what
perseverance nod industry, rightly direct
ed, affable to effect. Among the gradua
ting class at the Commencement last week,.
at, Williams College, was one by the name
of Condit, from New Jersey. This gen
: denian is a 'shoemaker, Is mairfe'd, and
has a family to four children. Six years
ago, becoming sensible of the blessings of
an education, he commenced learning Me
simple branches, such as are teuglit in our
our primary ; schools. -One by onts'as he
pat on hie atoentakees bench, be mastered
grammAti illiMeigniehis 'kc. , with
some occasional atisistanc,e_fromileifellow
workmen::: At time be deterinined-to
obtain. a collegiate aducation.
,Without
means. and with large bandy de,pending
on hint for support; he commenced and
learned Latin and 'Greek in - the - evenings.
after hit day's labor was over, under the
direction of a friend, and after the lapse of
a year and a half, prepared himself, and en
tered the Sophomore Class of Williams
College. lie brought his bench and tools,
as well tie his books - with him. 'rho stu
dents supplied him- with work; the facul
ty assisted hint, and together with the
fund for indigent students and some °eels
siOnal assistance from other sources, he
Wati — e — nitTe'd go tbrougfiifio college
course, and at the same dine support his
family.
_lie graduated_laat „week, on.. his
birth-day, aged thirty-two. lie stood high
in his class, and received a part at Com
mencement but declined. At the farewell
meeting
,of his class, in consideration of his
perseverance, talents, and Christian char
acter, they presented his wife with an de
gam set of silver spoons, tea and table, each
handsomely engraved with an appropriate
inscription.
Mr. Condit will now enter the Theolog
ical Seminary at New York, and will no
duobt m akeitfaithful nnd popular minister.
What young man in this country will
ever, after such an example as this, despair
of obtaining an education.—N. True

THE WOMAN WITH TE:g HusnANns.—
A paragraph has been going the rounds of
the newspapers, for some weeks past, in
relation to the morals of New Hampshire.
It is stated that there is a Women in the
Grrmite State, who was living with ten
hnsbands! and it was added that her neigh
bors seemingly took no notice of the mat
ter whatever.
The cream of the joke is :—The wo
man's name is Husband, and she has nine
children. Of course she - lives with ten
Husbands, as is proper and rightshe should.
A VERY SMART MAN !-Mr. Wilhelmus
Simmons, of Taghkanie, New York. found
a large hornet's nest under the eaves of his
barn, on Tuesday, and determined to de
stroy it. So he kook some matches, tied
them to a pole, and with them set fire to
the nest, and totally destroyed it. Unfor
tunately, however, the barn was also burn
ed, together with a thousand bushels of
oats, a large quantity,y, of rye, hay, Sze.—
Loss from *l2OO toielsoo ; no insurance.
SAD A FFAIR.—The other day, the sher
iff of Washington county, Pa., brought
over to the Western penitentiary, a son of
Richard Henry Lee, Esq., Professor of
Belles Letters in Washington College.—
The unfortunate young man is not more
than twenty-one years of age, end has
been sentenced to three years. imprison
ment for stealing about $4OO from the Hon .
T. M. 'l'. M'Kennan.

mot Proviso, which he condemns are a' mere ab
straction and opposed to ”the compromise of the
Constitution," and thinks "the line of the Missouri
compromise should be extended to any new terri
tory which we may acquire from Mexico."
,In oth ,
or worda, all the territory now belonging to this
Union, or to be acquired by it, south of 86° 30 1 ,
should be regarded as a proper field fire the intro
duction and extension of the Slave Institution. Un
fortunately for Mr. Becasyser, the York Republi
can re-publishes from some "old documents," the
proceedings ea public meethig; in which:lWe. D.
participated in 1819, in direct opposition to the
positions now assumed' by him in this letter to
the Loco:fewit of Berke county t
"At a 'lave and respectable' merit - neer the Citi
zens of Lancaster',` held on the 2&1 November,
1819, in the Court House in that City, the fol
lowing resolutions, reported by a 'Committee con
sisting of JANES HOPKINS, 41fI k Ltattc Jt!IKINS
.and JAMES BUCHANAN, were unanimously
'adapted t—
" Resolved, That the representatives in Congress
from this District be, and they am hereby most
earnestly -requested to use their utmost endeavors
as members of the National Legislature, to PRE
VENT THE EXISTENCE OF SL.aVER Yin
any of the territories or States which may be erected
by Congress,
"Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting
the members of Congress who at the last session
sustained the emote of Justice; Humanity and Patri
otism* in opposing the introduction of Slavery into
the; State then endeavored to be formed out of the
Missouri Territory,are entitled lathe warmest thanks
of every Friend of Hutruktily!"
A third resolution, says the Republican, report
ed by the same Committee, and also unanimous
ly adopted, recommended to the earnest consider-
Anon of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, then a
bout to commence its annual session, the proprie
ty of instructing their representatives to "use their
most zealous and strenuous exertions to prohibit
the existence of Slavery in any of the territories or
States which may hereafter be created by Congress,"
Such were the sentiments et Mr. Buchanan in
1819; and they are exactly coincident with the
principle of the Wilgnot Proviso. That proposes
"to prohibit the existence of Slavery in any of the
States or territories which may hereafter be crea
ted by Congress." This is what Mr. Buchanan
approved of twenty-eight years ago as "the caw,
sf lustier, Humanity and Patriotism." Now he
would permit Slavery to be extended over tenito
ry acitstilly free, and to be conquered for the ex
press purpose of subjecting it to the curse of hered
itary bondage!
LP' The Reading Journal contains a spir
ited review !Atha doings of the "Democratic Har

Coy. Shook, Jesse Miller, his man "Friday,"
Charley Brown, of tinder-box notoriety, John W.
Fordney, of the Philadelphia Custom-house, To
ry Ingersoll, and E. W. Hotter, known to the
Courts of Adams County as in some way connec
ted with previous pardons," were among the
speakers called together to teach "Democracy" to
the good people of Berks County, and show them
the propricly of sustaining" Honest Frank Shank."
It seems, however, that after all said and done the
purposes of the getters up of this "great" meeting
are not to be realized. The Journal con
cluded its notice . with the following paragraph:
"So nr as the Anti-Shunk feeling in this coun
ty is concealed, it has versed rather to widen the
breach than to mend matters. We are persuaded
that no Mar Meeting which the Whig party
could possibly have got up, would have done so
much for the cause of lame, PArrore and Rz-
POlll3ll. The spectacle of the Governor of the Com
monwealth, and the candidate for Canal Commis
sioner, accompanied by a train of official depend
ants, travelling round the country, mounting the
stump, and begging votes as a street loafer would
half-pence, Nis served but to disgust all right think
ing men. It has proved what has been charged
upon Shook, that be is so greedy for office as to
have lost all sense of the proprieties of his official
position in a desperate attempt to secure for him
self more of the plunder and more of the spoils of
our much abased & misgoverned Commonwealth."

SHALL THE WAR BE STOPPED!—
" The Federalists who opposed the last war," says
the Washington Union, "have earned for them
selves, and enjoy the contempt of the nation and
the world." Without Wapping to eritielee the hap
py phraseology of the Executive organ, which pos.
sibly Bads enjoymentin the consciousness ofbeing
despised—and therefore predicates a like idiosyn
crasy of others—or &selling taped the : foolish, sen
ile twat* about "'Federalists" ; it is curious to re
mark, that the Foreign Secretary of Mr. Polk—the
Man Whe'ramdticta all the diplomacy, and is eulo
gized from lintel lintefotgaein the . Union, as consum
mate in skill as in patriotism--wes himself one of
the des pitted Fe4eralista. M. Secretary Buchan-,
an was II deep - dyed . federalist in 1812—not in
deed, dyed hi the wool, for then he could not
change; but as thorough an opponent of the war
and of the Democracy, as any of the Essex junto
were of Massachusetts ; yet, this Federalist of 1812
is the Ajax Telamon of Polkdom—the great stay
and support of his administration; find it seems
ungenerous and ungrateful, on the part of the or
gan, thus to recall the damochis shame, as that
paper imputes, and as, it Is very probable, with
the . .basenese of apoetacy, he would himself now
Characterize them.
It is to coerce unwilling opinions into the sup.
poet of the Mexican war—hourly becoming more
unpopular, as the recent elections dearly demon-
straio—that the malactionsof the Union are lay-
Mid upon those who, In the war of 1812, would
not be driven to sustain men or measures that they
did not confide in or approve : ■nd if in this course
unavoidable blows are struck at some id' the chief
supporters of Mr. Polk, the necessity attic case Is
pleaded in extenuation, and the individuals strick
en, are themselves—such ls the meanness of con
vettsfor office' sake—not dissatisfied, since it may
seem to strengthen the party whereby they now
live.
It will he in vain, however—as it should he in
vain. There can be no mere slavish, no more
dangerous doctrine, than that, when once a coun.
-try is engaged in war, its citizens are by that fact
alone committed to the support of such fear. Once
let thatbetheireceived.rminion-and-prnetice,-asthe
Union is so anxious to make it, of this Republic—
and then, however wicked, corrupt, and reckless
an administration, it has only to add to its other
misdeeds the crime of wanton and unnecessary
war—to set all investigation at defiance, to hush
all opposition. The Whig party in Congress
committed—as it has always seemed to us—a
wrong against their own principles, in voting, as
they with so tow exceptions did, at the COllllllOllOO.
moot of this untoward war, for the lying pream
ble, which asserted that war to be the act of Mexi
co. This was a trap deliberately set for thorn by
the Locofocos, and with their eyes open the Whigs
walked into it—through fear of jolt such contour
pit
ble sneers as that from the Union, with which these
remarks commence. They were afraid—that is
the true word—they lacked the moral courage of
their own convictions—and rather than give an
occasion to the unscrupulousness of party to charge
thorn with refusing supplies of men and money to
ouY beleaguered army on the banks of the Rio
Gnutde—they consented to vote for what they
knew'svas not true. That vote has been again
and again quoted against them, with fatal effect,
since, whenever uttering through the press, or on
the floor of Congress, their condemnation of the
origin of the war, so clearly traceable to Mr. Polk
and Mr. Walker, to speculation in Texas lands, and
speculation in slavery.
In that vote, a lesson was given which may, it
is hoped, not be without effect,—of the obligation
which rests upon all true men—never to be false to
themselves—never to ffrego their own honest con.
victions—ebove all, never to assert what they know
to be untrue.
There is but one course, as it seems to us, for
all honest men to pursue—who believe, as we do,
that the war was wantonly and deliberately under
taken and provoked by this Administration—first
as a party move, to ensure the party ascendency
—and secondly as a corrupt speculation, both in
creating numberless offices and jobs for dependents
and sycophants, and again in giving value to Tex
as lands, and extension of- the institution of Sla
very. For all who share these opinions there is,
we repeat, but ono honest course, in our judge
ment, and that is to insist upon bringing the Ad
ministration to an avowal, explicit and distinct, of
its aims in continuing the war, and of the terms
upon which it is willing to terminate it. Mean
time to take care that men and money in suffici
ent amount be provided to prevent disaster , to our
troops in the field; but resolutely and earnestly
to insist that a stop be put to the war forthwith
upon terms not unsuited to our honor, and to
which Mexico may; under the circumstances, also
adhere with honor.
But conquest, territorial acquisition, and above
all the extension of Slavery, these must be, should
be, resisted, as entailing upon the Union such •
harvest of discontent, such seeds of future bitter
ness, as not all Mexico could compensate Its for,
and all Mexico, if acquired, cannot save us from.
Again, then, we say, that Whig men and Whig
journals have no higher duty to perform just now,
than exposing the hollowness, the danger, and the
insolence of a faction, accidentally possessed, and
through false pretenses, of the power of Govern
ment, undortakiug to proscribe all freedom of
of opinion among a nation-of freemen, and requi
ring them, as the German oppressor of Switzer
land required Wm. Tell and Itbs countrymen, to
bow down to the Executive rescrip, or take the
consequences. The free Swltzera did take the
consequences, and so did the German oppressor.
