A SUBJECT FOR CONGRATULATION.
, The Postage on Godsy's Magazine and Lady's
Book, to any distance isoeduced to 41 cents on
each number, to commence on the first day of
July next.
It will then be cheaper than the large class of
''weekly papers—the postag on the former being only
•'4l cents, and that on the newspapers 6 cents per
I .lnonth.
In the Lady's Book you will find the heat anti
.•eleb of poetry and prose by the best authors of the
allay—new music--and, in addition, from three to
five monthlyiplates including the authentic Ladies'
'Fashions. The heavy postage tax on periodicals
•has been very detrimental to a great mail distrlbu
ittioh. That tax has now been removed, and our
•subscribers, and those about to subscribe, will have
to pay only 4/ cents per month postage on one of
'the most heautifu I and useful works of the day.
This agreeable alteration of what was a very unjust
ribs, towards periodicals, now places us in a better
I position to mail subscribers. We give four rimes
' , more original matter than any of the weekly papers,
' three engraving a month wells—original music,
oanil 'at less postage,

The of Representatives have
declared in favor of aiinesing TexaA and
organizing a territ.irial government in Or
egon ; and they have received petitions
from Michigan and Nlaine praying for the
. .
annexation — or Canada The Govern
ment of Texas disclaims all desire to be
incorporated into the Union ; the bill for
•01 ganizing a government in Oregon is a
violation of art existing treaty with

The rational and honest portion of the
U.S. citizens endeavor to reassure other
countries .by protesting. that the Senate
never will adopt such measures. Let
tts hope so : matters are already bad
enough when one of the three co-ordi
nate branches of the Legislature can vi-
aute decorum and respe - ct for the rights
of other natitios to the extent of passing
the Texas and Oregon bills. But how
long can the Senate persevere in resist
since to these annually repeated assault,:
im its virtue ? It stands beta een two fires:
the Pt sident is as friendly to the acquis
itive line of policy as the House of Rep
resentatives ; and both are urged on by
popular feeling: the House of Repre
sentatives is g oaded by petiti.ms for an
nexation and appropriatibnr General
Jackson publishes oracles, that if Texas
be not acquired. peaceably now, it tnu-t
be hereafter by the sword; and even John

must be outs The Senate is elective as

Mexico, (California being already eyed
wistfully by the annexers,) that the Sen

The hardest task of the respectable
class of Americans, of late years, has
been to apologise for their Governinent.—
The Government wished to abolish sla

PRESIDENT POLK A HUMORIST.
—President's Messages, Inaugural ad
dresses, &c., are apt to be dull, but they
are neeti,nmally lighted up with passages
of genuine humour. The following is the
late,t spec•men we have seen, and is in an
admirable vein;—
Foreign powers" (Mexico especially)
do not seem to appreciate the true
character of our government. Our Union
is a confederation of independent Suites,
whose policy is pence with each other
and all the %Amid. To enlarge its limits,
is to extend the dominion of peace over
additional territories and increasing mil
lions. The world has nothing to fear
boon mi!itary ambition, in our government.
While the chief magistrate and the pop
ular branch of Congress are elected for
short terms by the suffrages of those mil
kois who must, iu their own persons,
beau• all the burdens and miseries of war,
our guvirnotent cannot be otherwise than
pacific. Fmeign powers" (Nlexico of
course) " should, therefore, look on the
annexation of Texas to the United States,
nut as the conquest of a nation seeking to
extend I►er domioions by arms and vio
lence, but as the peaceful acquisition of a
ritory once her twit, by adding another
member to our confederation, with the
consent id that n►ember—thereby (bonito.
Ming the chances of war, and opening
to them new and ever increasing markets
for their products.
T. Texas the re-unint► is important,
because the strong protecting arm of oUr
government would be extended over her."
President's Inaugural.
For the iuivattil, 'lathing is required
to show this paragraph addressed 10 for
eign powers to be one of the best jokes
the annals of diplomacy ran furnish. 't'u
others it may require a slight paraphrase.
Foreign powers may ne considered
as present by their Representatives (Gen
eral Al movie among them) o n the steps
of the Capitol, while the President turns
towards them, and thus harangues them:—
•, iVe respectfully entreat you, Foreign
Powers, not to be alarmed at what may
appear aggression in our pi uceedings, nor
at the somewhat belligerent attitude we
have bee() compelled to assume towards
Slefiico. You do not appreciate" our
" true cliiiracter." We ore peaceful.—
Consider that our's is a Union whose
policy is pence." If, therefore, we do
go to war with Mexico for Texas, PHA CE
is our object! Our citizens have, to be
sure, gone into Texas, revolted against
the government (bey found there, and
gained possession of the country. We
cannot deny to your Excellencies that the
war was carried on by men and means
from the United states, and that it could
not have beets curried on without them.—
The revolt was successful, and the very
people who accomplished it will be 'Teel•
led, with the territory they have conquer
ed, into the United States. But, have no
fears, gentlemen, about conquest
‘Veinsv wish allowance to our territo
ry ; but this will be to "extend the do
minion of peace." Should our citizens
of the South West prefer an adjoining
province of Mexico, they will certainly go
there —it is the Anglo-Saxon nature;
when there, they will certainly want their
slates. It Mexico refuses to re-establish
slavery for their acroumdation, they will
certainly revolt, and if they revolt
they will certainly succeed, by the help
we shall lurnish, and they will become
independent, they will have a right to do
as they please ; and we have a right to do
as we please, and we shall certainly take
them into the Onion. l3ut. gentlemen
Ambassadors, and especially your Excel
lency, Mr. Althoete, do nal br ularmrtl
" Appreciate" us justly. This is not I
conquest. Oh ! no, not at all ! It is all
the " Pumcx OF PEACE " extending
the 111,1114,M0 of peace." The whole
Texan operation of "peace," " a grace
ful acquisition!' diminishing the chances ,
of w ilt "— eßpreially to the neighboring
provinces of Mexico ! ! !
. .
The President now turns to the Ambas
sador iinm Texas: the strong protect
ing arm" of this peacelnt government
shall be extended over you : strong pro.
ttc ling arms are peculiarly peaceful
If the Mexican Ambassador, during
this harangue, did not think of the story
of Little lied Riding flood, it would be
becau,e lie never read it. " Grandma,
what big eyes you've got " That's to
see you the better, my dear." " Grand
ma what a big nose you'pe got !" " hat's

TEXAS AND SLAVERY,
The Boston Liberator, (anti•slavefy)
in an article on the passate of the Texas
resolutions, hulds the following language:
It will he seen that the pressure',
brought to bear upon file Democratic
members of both houses of Congress, by •
the Texan junto, was so mighty, that but
two of the Democratic Representatives,
and not one of the Senators, could sum
mon 11111 111111 a. enough to Wiry the dictates
of his ColltiCsWlce, and the freedom-lov
ing impulses of his soul. It has been
made the test of political fidelity to the
party, and woe to those who have refused
to bow the knee to Baal I There are nut
many, it is true, to be sacrificed, but
enough to constitute a fragrant but nt•of
feting on the altar of slavery.
" hi the name of Democracy has this
frightful outrage been perpetrated, The
Democratic pai ty, as such, has sold itself,
to the Demon of slavery, and with canws
bat appetite is latte”ing upon human
Hesh and blood• All its professions of
regard for the rights of man—of hosti.ity
to oppression—tit attachment to the cause
of liberty—are mendacious and hypocrit
ical to art infernal degree, as indisputably
shown by its acts. It is a party, from
which escape by the virtuous and honest
is to be made with the celerity that
righteous Lot fled from Sodom. The
friends of God and man are now called
upon to unite their forces fur its overthrow
—to put the brand of profligacy on the
brow of every man who shall venture to
uphold it—to unmask it as a monster of
iniquity—and thus vindicate genuine
Democracy, and peradventure save the
country from ruin.
those members of Congress,
whether 1 , 1 bugs or Democrats, who were
" faithful among the laithful (Mind," in
the trial-hour, let the thanks of the friends
of freedom be proffered for themselves,
and in to half of the three millions of our
fellow countrymen in chains. " Credit
to whom credit,—honor to whom honor."
Phis impartial justice and genuine mag
nanimity demand. Recreant to their du.
ty in many other instances, in presenting
an almost unbroken funit to this scheme
of annexation, the NN hig party have done
a noblo work, and stood their ground with
a firmness anti fidelity far beyond our
expectations. That of all the Southern
Whig Senators, only three were found
willing to go for the measure, surprises
us. By their defection from the position
assumed by the ‘Vhig party, the deed has
been consummated ; but the party itself
stands nobly exonerated from all respon
sibility in the case."
VIOLENCE OP AN ENRAGED ELEPHANT.
—A Mutt Killed. -1t e learn from the
New Orleans Bee, that a large male El
ephant, attached to the menagerie of Hop
kins & Co., became enraged a few weeks
since near Baton Rouge, and attacked
arid killed the person having him it:charge.
It appears that two el phants and a camel
were being driven to Clinton—the female
elephant and camel chained together, and
the male elephant loose—and that on
crossing a bridge the tiriver was thrown
IEOIIII6O horse, when immediately the male
elephant rushed upon him, caught him
upon its tusks, and threw him forty or
fifty feet in the air, which was repeated
a great number of times, the tuskA fre
quently passing through his body. ft
then carried the body from the road to
wards the woods, tossing it in the air at
intervals. until it fell between two fallen
trees which saved it from further violence.
The infuriat,d animal then returned to
the road, where the female elephant and
camel had been chained to a tree by an•
other keeper, and rushed upon then:, his
tusks passing through the camel, knock
ing down the female and breaking the
chain in two. The enraged animal then
made Of ton ards the woods, carrying the
camel by its trunk, and throwing it at
intervals in the air with its tusks. The
other portion of the caravan now coming
to the bridge the elephant returned and
made demonstrations of an attack upon
it, when fire arms were brought into reqtii
sition. A number of shots were fired up
on it, but withont any effect. Word was
them: sent to the U. S. garrison, and some
thirty or forty soldiers were sent to dis•
patch it with their muskets: The neigh•
hors also turned out with their rifles and
guns, and some fifty o• sixty shots were
fired into or rather upon him, for the balls
were frequently flattened upon striking,
and fell to the ground. At length it was
determined upon to send to the garrison
for a held piece to dispatch him, when
one of the keepers procuring a , spear,
moulded a hot se and succeeded in wound.
nag the elephant until he caused it to
scream will path and finally to yield to
subjection, olien it was driven ult with the
balance of the animals. This is the same
animal ohicit killed one of its keepers
some two or three years ago, at Algiers,
opposite this city, and was only stayed
from further mischief after fourteen stints
had been fired into it.
