In the letter of instructsous frum Mr Madison, 1
is Secretary of State, of the 20th July, 1803, he says,
+'the acquisition of the Florida. is still to ke putsued."
He adds.the exchange of any part of western Louisiana.
'which Spain may propose for the cession of the Flori
-dia, "is inadmissablo." "11 intrinsic value there is
, no equality." "We are the less disposed also to make
aacrifioos to obtain the Floridas; because their position
and the manifest course of events guarantee an early
-
and reasonable acquisition of then." In Mr Mad
.ison's letter, also, as Secretary of State, of the Bth of
July, 1804. he annemices the opposition of Mr Jeffer-`
• son "to a penmen! relinquishment of any terriurry
-whatever eastward of the Rio Bravo." In the mes.
marl of Priesirrhint Houton of the sth-May.1837, he
says that Texas contains "four-fifths °fall the tiro oak
fiew in the worLd." ' Cotton will be its great staple,
-.and some suet:and molasses «rill lee produoed. The.

where, evennow, - without such a road, we could com
mand the trade of all the 111)Ithez n rtrites of Mexico,
'Aid 'obis very large portion of the western coast of
%Anoka.
-. The importance of Texas is thus described by Mr.
Clay, in his speech,of the 3d of April, 1820:
"All the accounts connoted in representing Texas
in be extremely valuable. Its supbrficial extent was
'three or four times greater than that of Flirt ida. The
'climate was delicious; the soil fertile, the margins of
the rivers abounding in live oak; and country admit-
Acing of easy setUatnent. It possessed, moreover, if he
tasitro not misinformed, oac of the finest ports in the
Mexico. The productions of which it was cc
*griptide, were suited to our wants. The unfortunate
St Helena wished fur ships, commerce and
tettilonteS:=l , lfiehase them all, if we do net wantonly
throw thiarte' missy. Flt colonies of other coontrit;
are seTratitteil from them be vast seas, requiring great
expense to protect them, and are held subject to
constant risk of their being torn from theirgrasp. Our
colonies" the contrary, ale united to, and form a part.
of our cotuinent; and the same Mississippi, from whose
Pt-I(th deposite the best of them (Louisiana) has been
formed, will transport on tier bosom the breve, the pa
triotic men from her tributary !grown to defend and
preserve the next most valuable—the province of Tex
as." "He was not disposed to disparage Florida; but
its intrinsic value was incomparably less than that of
'femur"
Texas are valuable mines of gold and silver; the silver
mine on the San Saba li lying been ex amined and found
to be atneng the richest in the world.
In the recent debate in the British Parliament, Lord
Brougham said: "The importance of Texas could not
be oven med. It was a country of the greatest capes
bilities, and was in extent full as large bra Co. It
possessed a soil of the fi uest and tnustfe'rtile character.
mild it was capable of producing- all tropical produce;
ruid its climate was of a most healthy character. It
bad access to the gulf, to the river Mississippi, with
which it communicated by means of the Red River. -
The possession of Texas would ensure to us the trade
of Santa Fe, and all the northern states of Mexico.
Above all, Texas is a large and indispensable portion
of the valley of the west. That valley once was all
our own; but it has born dismembered by a treaty
formed when the west held neither of the high execu
tive stations of the governinel t, and was wholly unrep•
resented in the cabinet at Washington. The Red riv
er and the Arkansas, divided and mutilated, now flow
with their numerous tributaries, for many thousand
miles, through the territory of a foreig n power; and
the west has been fin cod hack along th e gulf, from the
Del Norte to the Sabine. If. then, it be trite that the
sacrifice of 'T etths was made with painful reluctance,
all those who united in the surrender will rejoice at
re-acquisition.
'This is no question of put chase of new territory, but
:of the reannexation of that which once was all out own.
It is not a question of the extension of our limits, but
of the restoration of former boundaries. It proposes
no new tehlition to the valley of the Mississippi; hut
of its reunion, and all its waters, once more, under
our dominion. if the Creator hail seperated Texas
from the Union by mountain harriers. the Alps or the
Andes, these might be plausible objections; but he has
planed down the whole valley; including Texas, and
united every atom of the sail and every drop of the
waters of the mighty whole. Ho has linked their
rivers frith the great Mississippi, and marked aril
united the whole fur the &minim' of one government.
and the residence of one people; aid it is impious in
man to attempt to dissolve this great and glorthes
tikes. Texas is a part of Kaintucky, a portion of the
•sati4gre at valley. It is a part of New York and Penn-
Itylrania, a part of Maryland anti Virginia, and Ohio,
and of all the western States, whilst the Tennessee
unites with it the waters of Georgia, Alabama, and
Caroline. The Allegheny, commencing its course in,
New York, amid with the Youghingany, front Mnryland
and Mourineahela from Virginia, mereing into the
beautiful Ohio at the metropolis .if IYestern Pennsyl
vania, embrace the streams of 'fexas at the mouths
of the Arkansas and Red river, whence their waters
Ellie in kindred union to the gulf. And here, let nio
My, that New York ought to reclaim for the Allegheny
its true original name, the Ohio, of which it is apart,
and so marked and called by that mune in the British
maps, prior to 1776, one of which is in the possession
of the distinguished representative from the Pittsburgh
district of Pennsylvania. The worth. "Ohio" and "Al
legheny," in the two different Indian dialects, mean
clear, as designating truly, in both cases, the charac
ter of the water of both streams; end hence it is that
New York Is apse the Ohio, and truly stands at the
bead s of the valley of the %Vest. The treaty which
struck Texas from the Union, inflicted a blow upon
this 'mighty valley. And who shall say that the
West shall remain dismembered and mutilated, and
that the ancient boundaries of the republic shall never
, bo restored? Who will desire to check the young

rho question of rentinexalion, and of the restoration
of ancient boundaries, is a moth stronger case than
that of the rurchase of new territory. It is a stronger
case also than the acquisition of Louisiana or Florida;
not only upon the ground that these were both an ac
quisition of itcw tterritery, but that they embraced a
foreign peopin, dissimilar to our own, in language;
laws, ana institutions; and transferred without the
their knowledge or consent, by the nctof an European
king. More especially, in a case like this, where tie!
people of Texas occupy a region which was once ex
clusively our own; and this people. in whom we ack
nowledge to reside the only sovereignty over the M hole
and every portion of Texas, desire the remmexarion
—that we cannot re-establish our former boundaries,
and restore to us the whole or any part of the territo
ry which was once our own, is a proposition, the bare
stetement of which is its best refiration.
Let us examine, now, stoner& the objections urged
against the ream/citation of Texas. And here, it is
remarkable that the objections to the purchase of Loui
siana are the same now made in the case of Texas ;
yet all now acknowledge the wisdom of that great
measure, and to have ever opposed it, is now regard
ed as alike Unpatriotic and unwise. And so will it
be in the case of Texas. The measure will justify
itself by itsresults; and its opponents will stand in the
same position now occupied by those who objected to
the purchaso of Louisiana. The objections, we have
said, were the same, and we will examine them sepa
rately. Ist. The extension of the territory; and 2d,

FOR GOVERNOR,
H. A. MU IMENBERG
r = The editor of the fruz.u.te in zeal to defend
MrCt.%y against the consequences of his nnti tnrdi
doctrines, has got into a diiemns4 from which ho
will rind some difficulty to extricate himself In at-
tempting to prove t h at Mr Clay was io favor of a pro
tectire Tariff, the Gazette rave the following exti a rt
from one of his speeches:
`• Mr Clay said the object id - the bill was to la isc !rum-
Suppose there was revenue Mantel'. and could
only be obtained by going beyond the compromiAe.
ih,J? would have to do it. Ile was desirous to pre
serve the comproznis , • act inviolate, and his hope and
belief was thatthey might by economy b< able to do so.'
—[ Extract from Mr Clay's speech in the Senate, ex
tra. session. Sept 7, 13111
On this we charged Mr Crkr with boin g opposed
to protection. Ile stales emphatically that lie would
nut go beyond the ;limpromise Act for any other pur
pose than to raise revenue, and if this does not indi
cate that he baieeos there is a "necessity for pr.o ec-
Lion," we confessour inability to understand the mean
ing of his latignay. Will the editor of the Gavotte
explainand show the public bow Mr Clay can br in fa-
vor of proteclitm. whz-u he oouhj pp
gerve the Compromise Act inviolate., exccpt when it
mighthe neeessary to gn beyond it to raise revenue.
The Han HARSilitt DENNY tads CIS that the CO/lip/yr
/74ft is the cause of all the distress that has afflicted
the country fur sun.• years past. If he i 4 right—and
we do not believe the Gazette will dare to say he is
inrt—how can Mr Clay. who wi.:11,!: to putaerve this
act inviolate. Ito in favor of pretection ! It i.: an aly.
arrrclitito any so,nnd n.); ia?imal that NI rCla3 druire
the public to believe him to be any thing hit a re re our
tarm roam, and a very ecutintnical one at that.
Notwiths-anding,Mr White a+SUIIP.S to lie the prin.
ripnl o•gan of the Clay party in this county, h doe;
not manage this delieate subject with as much rennin::
as his colleague of the American. On Saturday he un
dertook to shew that we had misrepresented Mr Clay.
by publishing a paragraph purporting tu:be from one of
his speeches, in which he said there was no neravissitv
for protection. To prose tt.is to be it forgery the Ga
zette quotes the above extinct, and very sinEttlarly as
sumes that it is proof posh of Mr Clay's ft iendshipfor
prOteCtiO4i. 011Satlirday afternoon the Ametican pub
lished the satne‘rnatterthat appeared in thu• Gazette in
the morning, ontierin7 I,le pareg ra ph rch icA Ire hare
quoted, thus Allowing that the editor of that !wiper did
nut wish such aid-tariff sentiment; to be circulated
among the tariff taco of Pittsburgh.. And foither,
tind that rho New York Tribune excludes the same
paragriph, believing, no doubt that the public would
consider it the strongest evidence that could be gisen
of Mc Clay's hatred of protection.
M. Greeley of the Tribune. and Mr Biddle of tho
American, have acted very cunningly in keeping Mr
Clay's real sentiments from the people; hut Mr White.
in his eagerness to be a little smarter than his cotem
pornries,has established the fact, by quoting Mr Clay's
own speeches, ‘vhirli they tried to keep from the pub
lic evp. •
The Whigs are now in the same position with Mr
Clay for a Protective Tariff candidate. that they were
with Mr Tyler for a Bank candidate in 1340. Then
they would not permit Mr Tyler to declare nny of his
principles for the public eye; they would not believe
but lie would, it' elected, abandon all the cherished
opinions of his life, and in opposition to his former
csurse, throw himself into the arms of bank whiggery.
They are pursuing the seine' policy now with Mr Clay.
There is every reason to believe that Mr Clay enter
tains settled principles against a Protective Tariff;
some of his most able advocates declare him to be in
favorof Free Trade; in his Georgia letters he assures
his friends that his Tariff notions coincide with those
entertained by southern statesmen, and in his speeches
lie implores Congress to preserve the Compromise
Act inviolate, and not to go beyond it, unless for the
purpose of revenue. W ith 6 mil evidence before them,
no lnowirt man can mistake Mr Clay's position; it is
plain to every one that he does not desire to be consid
ered a Protective Tariff mall, and if duties were not ne-
cessiiry for revenue, he would be in favorof Free Trade.
Yet if he could be elected, and attempt to carry out his
Free Trade doctrines, we have no doubt but the Tar
ill men who are now blindly clinging to him, would de
nounce him as a traitor to the principles on which he
was elected. If they haveany sincerity in their advo
cacy of a tariff—which, however, is very doubtful—
how blindly they are running that measure to destruc
tion by supporting Clay, whe wished to preserve the
Compromise inviolate, and who if elected would sus
tain the anti-Tariff principles which he has so boldly
avowed.
VILL AINOUS Fottoe sr .—The American of yester
day contained the following pamlraph, purporting to
he a sentiment uttered by Mr WoonaußY, in a recent
speech:
"By which means (protective duties) the workmen
are enabled to tux tho home consumer by great prices,
while the higher wage% they receive, HAKES THEM
NEITHER HAPPIER NOR RICHER,: SINCE THEY oNLT
DRINK MORE AND WORK LESS."
We happen to Lave the documents at hand to nail
this firlschood at once. In the course of Mr. W.'s
aptffilt on the Tariff, he read several extracts from Dr.
FRANKLIN,. setting forth his views of trude,aad annavg
them the following:
"Great establishments of manufactures reqlsire great
"tiontitera of poor to do the work for small wages; those
• . ' Wbe found Etarbrir but will not he found
‘• ' till the lands silt ati taken up and cultivated
'P!' the excess of people whO cannot get land, %ant
el ploy anent, The malnifacturs of silk, they say, is as
Ill\ Ltlrii i in France as that of cloth in England, because
each country produces in plenty the first material; but
if England will have a manufacture of silk as well as
that of cloth, end France of cloth as well as that of silk,
these•unnatural operations inust - be supported by mu
taajprohibitions, or high duties on the importation of
each other's goods; by which means the workmen are
enabled to tax the COIISUmer by greater prices,w hi le the
higher wages they receive makes them neither happier
nor richer, since they only drink more and work less.
Therefore, the governments in America do nothing to
encourage such prijects."
It is herr seen that what the American denounces
as a foul calumny, is the language of Dr Vasa nttn,
and not Mr WOODBURY, nor was it intended by the
author to apply to American workmen, but was intend
ed to point out the effects that high ditties had on En
glish and French operatives. •
It would be in perfect keeping with the principles of
their party, fur the federal journals to denounce the
sentiments of Dr Fratikl.n; he was Lou much of a work
ingman to suit their views, and w.ts too sincerely devo
ted to the welfare of the people to expect that any of
his political sentiments would meet with the spproba
tiun of the bank party of the I resent day.
