The Commercial goys,
"The Post of Thursday tnkes u 4 to task for our
opinions touching the manner in which we have acqui
red remits. If anything was wanting to confirm the
correctness of our own opinions, the Putt has sup
plied it."
MC RIDDLE arrives at this conclusion from our ad
mission that "Texas made the first proposition fur an
nexation, and that she done so conscious of her weak
ness" &c. Will Mr Riddle tell us how the fact that
she was weak in naval as well as land force could
aired her right to negociate with us for annexation?
We acknowledged her independence, so did France
and England. When we acknowledged her indepen
dence, it. was with a perfect knowledge of her condi
tion so far as her military power ails concerned.—
She had achieved her independence of Mexico—she
had driven Mexican control from her tert itory—Mexi.
can troops were no longet upon her coil, and we nod
acknowledged her an independent nation, capable of
doing and acting for herself. Mexico, it is true, ne
ver acknowledged her independence, but she offered
to do so, provided Texas would not agree to annexa
tion. Suppose Mexico hod recognized the Indepen
dence of Texas, what would then be the state of the
case? Her ability to defend herself:aortic] bet o greater
than now, and if no greater, according to MG.Riddle,
she would not be independent, and therefore could
not assent to annexation.
Mr Riddle says "Mexico declared Texas a revolted
province." We are aware that she dune so, but with
what justice? Did the people of Texas revolt nga lest
the Federative form of govert.ment, first established
by Mexico? Did they rise up and overturn state in
dependence, and refuse to maintain that federal sys
tern, analogous to our own, as guarateed to them by
Mexico? The people of Texas done no such thing.
But when Santa Anna, usurped power in Mexco, the
people of Texas, a very large portion of whom were
from the United States, and who had gone there on
the express invitation of Mexico herself, refused sub
mission. Thus it will be seen that the people of Tex
as an far from having revolted, themselves, only re
fused to yield obedience to those wh,) had not only
done so, but had actually changed the Mexican form
ofgovernment, in many important features.
The Washington Union of Teusday 12th inst says:
"The annexation of Texas extends our claret ime free.
tier about three hundred and fifty miles southwest of
the Sabine. The pass over the Sabine bar is nine feet
deep; but about fifty-five mires southwesterly from the
bar,istle entrance to Galveston bay, over the bar of
which twelve feet mat be carried. There is another
Colltrance to this bay, aboat thirty miles farther, at the
southwestern end or Galveston islandralled the San
Luis or western pass, over which ten feet of water
can be carried. These passes constitute the connexion
with the gulf of several small rivers, the largest is the
Trinity, which enters into the upper end of Galveston
bay, at a place called Anahuac. The next bar of con
sequence upon this coast is the pass of Cabello, oi.er
which eleven feet can be carried. This pass opens a
communication between the gulf and Espiritu Santo
and Matagorda bays. Into these bays many rivers en
ter from the interior of the count" y, the principal are
the Colorado, the Geode lope and the San Antonio.---
The Neuces enters the gulf at the southwester n extrem
ity of Espiritu Santo bay; but itsconnexion with the
gulf is obstructed by a bar, over which not more than
four feet of water can be carried, Should, however,
future investigations exhibit a good connexion, inland
between the Neuces and Espritu Santo bay, then the
trade of that river can avail itself of the deeper water
of the Cabello pass.
From the mouth of the Nieces, called Corpus
Christi pass, there is a long buy parallel to the coast,
extending die south about one hundred miles, ap
proaching, at its southern extremity, to within ten
miles of the mouth of the Rio del Norte.
The Rio del Norto is the great river in Texas, form
ing its western boundary; and extending through about
fourteen degrees of latitude. Its course is northwest
erly from its mouth, making the longitude of its head
waters about twelve degrees west of that of its con
nexion with the Gulf of Mexico, Its total length is
about 1,200 miles, and it has been already navigated
by steamboats as high up as Laredo. It connects it
self with the gulf by a bold current, and witho..t the
intervention of a bay; but the connexion is not deep.
The bay, however, which we have just described as
approaching within ten miles of the mouth of the
Rio del Norte, is spoken of as having it deep bar at
its southern extremity, called the Brasos Santiago.—
Should this be the case, there would probably be no
great difficulty in turning the Rio del Norte into this
bay; and thus, by the aid of its waters, forming one
of the best entrances from the gulf, upon that coast,
through the pass of Brasos Santiago.
These views of the coast of Texas present some
Important points—the Galveston pass, the Cabrillo pass,
and the pass of Brazos Santiago, which will probably
have to be fortified.
The inland frontier is exposed to depredations from
numerous hordes of savages and warlike Indians,
against which the inhabitants must be protected with
forts of the usual character against Indians.
Now, we believe that all men will agree with us,
that forts are useless, without supplies of ordnance,
ammunition, and men, and, therefore, as a consequence
the necessity of these fotta implies an increase of the
war estimates for constructing the forts, and for sup.
plies of anti munitions of war.
The increased commerce on the gulf, which the an
isolation of such a long line of coast and of such a pro
ductive country will occasion, will require protection,
on the ocean; or, in other words, will require a gulf
squadron, and a consequent increase of the navy esti
mates.
We do not see how these considerations can be neg
looted, without a neglect of great national interests
We have tyken out stand among the nations of the
world—among great end leading nationr; we have o•
pined a new chapter of national law, pregnant with
the most important consequences, casting its shadow
ever this western world, and not without its evident
penumbra over the destinies of the eastern. We have

at Leechburg, a splendid Flour Mill on on extensive
scale.
, The building is of hi ick, five stories (seventy-two
feet) high, eighty feet long, and forty feet wide. It
contains Aix run of burs, and is capable of grinding
1500 bushels of wheat in twenty-four hours. There
are two water wheels, attached to the mill. one sixteen
feet in diameter, and eleven feet wide, the other six
teen feet in diameter and thirteen feet wide. The
water power necessary to keep the mill in operation
is obtained from the Big dam, six miles above the
mouth of the Kist:minims River. and has a fall of
twenty-five feet. The Geering is entirely of cast iron. ,
It is the workmanship a James B Angel, a first
rate Mill-wright. formerly of black Rock, N. Y., but
lately of the State of Ohio.
The entire cost of the eatAblishment when comple

Our readers have heard more or less of the
disgraceful transactions at Frankfurt last week, in
which our Secretary of State cut so conspicuou s a fig
ure. He was chased by a mob from a private house
of an equivocal character into one of the public build
ings. Ile was admonished that his hiding place was
not safe; and by the aid of some who labored to assuage
popular indignation, he made his escape across the
river at one ferry while his horse was sent over at
another. He swtre vengeance against Frankfurt from
the opposite bank of the Kentucky river, and then made
tracks. Different versions cf the transaction which
gave rise to the excitement against him are given, all of
which amounts to pretty much the same thing; although
we shall not state any of them until they are furnished
from another source. Suffice it to say that a young la
dy was concerned, and the circumstances of the case,
as they are given by rumor, are peculiarly attrocious.
We will not say that they justified the mob, but we
do say that the excitement produced by tho belief that
such an act bad been perpetrated, is honorable to the
moral sense of the people of Frankfort. In the mean.
time, if the Secretary has any thing to say fur himself.
he ought to be saying it very soon; if he has nothing to
say, it is time be was off to Mexico. As the matter
stands the Secretary of the State of Kentucky has been
chased away from the seat of government and righte
ously too, if he is as guilty as he is charged.

ANNEXATION.
"Go tell the world a world is born!
Another orb gives light;
Another sun illurnes the morn,
Another star the night !"
Eir.Tha following lines are by a young lady of
)Philadelphia, who has been for many years confined
LO her 'chamber by a painful disease.
THE DOVE.
`rams 'midnight; solemn, dark, and deep!
And vainly isaci I courted sleep;
When worn with pain, with anguish tined,
Hope, faith, and patience nearly lost,
I heard a sound, a gentle sound.
Breaking the solemn stillness round ;
A gentle, soft, and mourning sound,
Making the silence more profound.
I hush'd my breath!—again it came!—
My heart beat faster—•ngll the sane
Low, gentle murmur met my ear,
Approaching nearer and more near,
A single sound, yet soft and clear,
And strangely fraught with memor;es dear
A flood of clear and silver light.
Then burst upon my raptured sight,
Filling my little chamber quite,
And in that light a bird was seen;
Not "grim and black, with stately mein,"
But purely white and beautiful,
With looks so mild and duitiful,
A lovely bird, with plumage white.
In that calm, still, and cleat mixmlight.
Floating a moment round my head,
It rested opposite my bed,
Beside a picture, lovelier
Than heathen gods, and holier;
'lwo beauteous babes, whose sinless eyes
Bespeak them still in Paradise—
Whose loving, soft, and gentle eyes
Tell where that land of beauty lies.
There sat the radiant white-winged bitd—
I listened, but no sound I beard—
And then I spoke—'•Sweet bird," I said,
"FEINT what far country host thou fled?
Whence cam'st thou —and why cam%it thou here?
Cati'st thou bring aught my soul to dice'?
hest thou strange news7-I , peak, gentle dove!"
And the bird answered—" God is loodl
"They tell me so," I faintly said,
"Bin joy has flown, and hope is dead,
And I aet sick, and sad, and weary,
And life is long, and dark, and (Ire, r)—
Think not thy words my spirit move!"
Still the bird answered--" God is love!"
''Some dearly loved are far away.
And, some who fondly near me stay,
Are sir.k, and sad, and suffering;
While I QM weak and miirmui ing.
Each for the other gt loves, soil tries
To stay the tears that fill the eyes—
Wby comes not comfort Item above?'
Firmly but mournfully, the dove
Distinctly answered—" God is love!"
T started up—" The world," I said.
"Though beautiful it once we. made,
Is full of crime and misery now,
Want sits on many n haggard brow;
The warrior wield. hi. bloody sword'
Slaves tremble at the tyrant's word,—
Vice honored—virtue scorned—we see,
Why are these ill. allowed to be?"
He raised his bend, that soft-eyed dove,
As though my boldness he'd reprove,
Then bowed and answered—" God is love!"
"Alas!" I said, in accents mild,
"I would I were again a child.
I've wandered from the heavenly track,
And it is late to journey back;
My wings are clipped. I cannot soar,
I strive to mount, but o'er and o'er
My feeble wing. I raise in vain—
I flutter. sink, and fall again!"
In low, but earnest tones, the dove
Still softly murmured—' God is love!
"Thou mov'st me strangely, waturrous bird!
My soul is strongly, deeply stirred—
My heart grows lighter—may I still
My mission upon earih fulfil,
Proving my love in Gal sincere,
By doing all my duty here?
Shall pn.t 0M145111114 be forgiven.
And ■hall the weary rest in Floareii?"
Flo Spread his wing., that radiant dove,
And sheerly answered—' God it lure!"
"Tit inks, heavenly messenger," I cried,
"Remain that picture still be.ide;
Surrounded by the light of Truth,
Companion meet for sinless youth;
Thou blesaed type of Love and Peace.
My Hopis and Faith ',molt still increase—
Ile ever near, me gentle dove,
I know, I feel, that 'Goo is Loy E!" '
