authorities of Texas had relied far years a pea plain and frank proposition for Muea. sad had hoped to bo mot by a cordial aai maal r ac- . 01 n 1 - -p uuw. i uej were aiaappensd I sisa treated with coolness, reserve, or pseU i couragemeat. In tliis condition of sae s common sense, with uncommon sagacity, geotod the only fsaeiblo plan to attain the dai object, and that was, to excite jealousy aa4 . alarm en the port of the politic tana and pe. pie of the failed States iu relation to the future) i commercial and political connexion of Tsxm with European nations. This was easily accom accomplished - plished accomplished by treating with silence all the r bargee which were mado by editors of various newspa newspapers - pers newspapers in the Tailed States. The Chief Magistrate of Texas was charged with "treason" Milling Texas to Kaglasxl eu eu-sidizisg - sidizisg eu-sidizisg her to France ! and ia a short time "as "astounding - tounding "astounding tilsclo-ures''' of all these trewsarlinsju would take place ! All these charges renaael uncontradicted by the journals of Texas, asw. the effect was all that could be desired ! Jealousy toward England and France was awakened. This begat excitement, which originated phan phantasies - tasies phantasies and conjured up notions of intrigues, which had existed only ia imagination. The facta, as well as the diplomatic correspon correspondence - dence correspondence of Texas ia all these matters, will vindi vindicate - cate vindicate these es gaged in the udmlniacrnlioa of the Oevernment, as will as the representatives of for foreign - eign foreign nations. Mr. Tyler farther says: fit reference to the measure of Annexation : "Nay. I may go even farther, and declare, before the initiative was ta taken, - ken, taken, a ad when the preliminaries were aearlyail arranged, their completion alone being prevent prevented - ed prevented by the death of Mr. Upshur, and the appoint appointment - ment appointment of an adjunct commissioner to Mr. Van Zandt. by Texas." oVe.

This, no doubt, in connexion with the procla proclamation - mation proclamation of aa armistice between Texas and Mexi Mexico, - co, Mexico, corroborated the eslArafic information re referred - ferred referred to by Mr. Tyler, and caused the direct proposition to be made for annexation. In leceinber, lll. the Executive of Texas found the country surrounced by, and iuvolrej in. the most intricate and perilous diltknlties To redeem the nation, it was necessary to ac complish one of three objects, and he designed his plans accordingly Mis hrst object was to obtain annexation. If ia that he did not suc succeed, - ceed, succeed, bis next was to secure the independence of Tevas. by the recognition of .Mexico, and if k should Lil in these, the third was to form a trees ty with some power, defensive against Metcs Metcs-In - In Metcs-In advancing hia policy, his first movemoDt was t send a minister (Mr. Redy) tit the United Slates, with instrnctiona to present to the Gov Government - ernment Government at Washington the subject of annexa annexation - tion annexation which had Lais dormant for three vers Im Immediately - mediately Immediately preceding that period.

About thus time, liie causes which I have alluded to btu-n to operate, while there were meant used which Infused into them new life. The success of the measure of annexa annexation - tion annexation depended upon the internal political condi condition - tion condition of the United States, and not upon any in intrigues - trigues intrigues of foreign power, or of Texas- The Executive of Terus in not moved by Ihe "direct proposition for annexation." but by tlie pledges given to hun by Mr. Murphy, Charge d'ArT-ires of the United States. Before an adjun-t Commissioner was appointed by the President, 'edges were demanded by him of Mr. Murphy, based upon Mr. Upshur's letter, that a military and naval force of the U nited States, sufficient fcr hedefenre f f Texas, should be placed at wie iHtposition ef the President, and held subjec t to hi orders This was as far as Mr. Murphy felt authorized to g in the mat matter. - ter. matter. Upon this, the Executive of Texas waived other deioande which were, that in the event of a failure en the part of the Government of the United States, to consummate annexation, after negotiations were once opend between tlie tw Governments, she should be bound to guarantee the independence of Texas, or enter into a treaty ilefensive against Mexico. These demands were waived for ihe present, with the assurance, that previous to sues negotistione at Washington City, these plVigee should be given to Texas. Ui rough her Commissioners, or t..e matter was t rest as nothing less tbsa s perfect guarantee f.,r he security of Texas, rrould be satisfectory to the President. la November. 1'li. the United Steles. Eng England, - land, England, aad France, had been invoked by Texas, and requested to act jointly or severally, in pro producing - ducing producing peace between Texas and Mexico. Tex Texas - as Texas found these powers all equally well disposed t leave her to kef t-te. rather than nsk any any-t.inz - t.inz any-t.inz in her behalf. On Ihe part of Texas, this looked like fair dealing, though she were nox dealt fairlv with bv ethers. This certainly left ae we of intrig to ttitttr le tie in.

Oa the 4th of May, Mr. Graham ami myself met the Bihop (Boone) in his study, and in view of the fact, that this whole city presented a field too large for profitable cultivation by so small a number as ours, it was determined that each of us should devote himself to a certain district, and endeavor lo follow up, by personai-vM-a, the eMtribsition from hoii- lo heusr of csrefully selected Tracts.

I wit -.- Lr-I WSB" Vwr-- " Spetth Ddirered in the Con rtnlion, htld at Danville, Kentucky; lu the iVr. Davio Kice 1.92. (CONTIM'ED.) V To tall our HIow men, wno nave not Iwleite-, nor voluntarily resigned their lib- ertT, our proiierty, I a gross aiwurauy, a tradietion to common wiw, iw in- ..,:.. rd human nature, -he owners ol Jack slaves then are die licensed robbers, t ... .1.- nrmrif tors, of what thev claim freeing Uieui is not depuving them of their property, but restoring it to the right owner; it i suffering the unlawful ,t,dve to escape, hi not wronging die master, hut doing justice to the slave, re re-storing - storing re-storing him to himself. The master, it is true, is wiOHgeJ ; he may suffer, and that grea'ilv ; hat this is his own fault, and die fault of ti.e enslaving law ; and not of the law that uVs justice to die oppressed. You sav. a lw of emancipation would 1 unjust, hecause it would deprive men of their property : but is there no injustice on the other side ? Is no IwJy entitled to jus justice, - tice, justice, but slave-holders ! I-et us consider the injustice on both sides ; and weigh them in even balance. On the other hand, we see a nun deprived of his property, of all capacity to possess property, of his own free a-cncv. of the means of instruction, of his wife, of liis children, of almost everything dear to hint . on die other, a man deprived of eightv or an hundred pounds. Shall we hesitate a moment to determine, who is the greatest sufferer, and who is treated with the greatest injustice ? The matter ap appear - pear appear quite glaring, when we consider, that neither this man, nor his parenu had sini.ed, that he w as !rn to these sufferings ; but die other sorters altogether for his own sin, and that of his predecessors. Such a law uould only talie away property, that is its own property, and not ours ; property that has liie same right to possess us, as its property, as we have to possess it ; projierty thatha the same right to convert our chil children - dren children into dogs, and calves, and colts, as we have to convert theirs into these beasts ; proper:? that may transfer our c hildren to strangers, by die same right that we transfer theirs. Human legislatures altould remember, that they ad in subordination to the great P.uler of the universe ; have no right to take ti.e guieriiio-iit out of his hand; nor to enact laws contrary to his; that if they khouIJ piesume to attempt it, they cannot make t!.a! right, whit h he has made wrong ; they cannot dissolve the allegiance of his subjects, and transfer it to themselves, and therebv hee die eople from their obliga obligations - tions obligations to obey die law of nature. The peo people - ple people should know, that legislature! have n.t this power . aiid that a tiiousand laws can never make that innocent, which the di divine - vine divine law ha made criminal ; or give them a right to diat, which the divine law forbids theui to claim. But to the above reply it may le further objected, diat neither we, nor the legisla legislature, - ture, legislature, enslaved the Africans; but they en enslaved - slaved enslaved one anod.er, and we only purchased those, whom they had made prisoners of uar, and reduced to slavery. Making prisoners of war slaves, diough practiced by the Romans andother an ancient - cient ancient nations, and though still practiced by some barbarous tribes, can by no means be justified ; it is unreasonable and cruel. Whatever may be said of the chief authors and promoters of an unjust war, the com common - mon common soldier, who is under command and obliged to obey, and as is often die case, deprived of the means of information as to the grounds of the war, certainly cannot be Thought guilty of a crime so heinous, that for it himself and posterity deserves the dreadful punishment of pertetual servitude. It is a cruelty diat the present practice of! ii civuizad nations bears testimony against. Allow then the matter objected to be true, and it will not lustify our practice of enslaving die Africans. But the matter contained in the objection is only true in part. The history of the slave trade is too tragral to be read without a bleeding heart and weepine eyes. A few of these unhappy Africans, and comparatively very few, are criminals, whose servitude is inflicted as a punish nient of their crimes. The main body are innocent, unsuspecting creatures, free, liv. ing in peacs, doing nothing to forfeit the common privileges of men. They are stolen, or violently borne away by armed lorce, irom tneir country, their parents, and all their tender connecUons; treated with an indignity and indecency shameful to men tion, and a cruelty shocking to all the tender feelings of humanity ; and they and their posterity forced into a state of servitude and wretchedness forever. It is true, they are commonly taken prisoners by Africans : bui t is the encouragement givtn by the Eurupjsns that tempts die Africans to carry ondteae m'orovoked wars. They furnish them with uSe means, and hold out to diarn a reward for their " Plunder. If h Africans are thieves, the h'tiiC113 stand ItadY 10 receive the stolen goooi if the former are robbers, the latter fnrmJ. with arms. and Dim-lino tV. civ;i In this rase, who is die most criinin&Lthe civilized European, or die untutored African! TheF-Wpezn merchants know that they themselves ue great encouragers of tlieae wars ; as they are the principal gainers by the event. They furnish the sinews, add the strength, and receive the gain. They know diat diey purchase thse slaves of those, who e no iust pretence to claim them as theirs. Tlie African can eive the Euro pean no better claim than he himself has ; me turopeon merchant can give us no better claim thin is vested in him; and mat s one founded only in violence or fraud. In confirmation of diis account might be produced ic.any substantial vouchers, SnJ 1 a a . i some wno have spent much time in this nefarious traJfic. But such as are ac customed to listen to the melancholy tales f these unhappy Africans, cannot want sufficient evidence. Those who have seen multitudes of poor innocent children driven to market, and sold like beasts, have it de monstrated betof a their eyes.

Woman's Tmpe. No trait of char aeter is more valuable in a female than the i jioasession of a sweet temper. Home can neVer be made happy without it. It is like the flowers that spring up in our pathway. - . reviving and cheering us. Iet a man go home at nieht. wearied and worn by the toils of the'day, and how soothing is a word dictated ov a good disposition. It is sun- Nhin fall; ntr n no n his heart. He is hatmv o i rr; and the cares of lift are forgotten. A 9weet temper has a soothing influence over the minds of a whole family. Where it is found in the wife and mother, vou observe kindness and love predominating over the natural feeling of a heart. Smiles kind words and looks, characterize the children. and peace and love have their dwelling there. Study, then, to acquire and retain a sweet temper. It is more valuable than wold : it captivates more than beautv ; and m td rtr nt life ir rtaina all in freshness and power. English Paper Wll AT PLKASiriE IT IS TO PAT OXe's debt..

Rather it would make me run so much far farther - ther farther from you, aiid so get more and more out of the way. Nay, jierhups, if you are angry, so shall I be too; and dien there will be small hopes of finding the truth. If once anger arise, this smoke will so dim the eyes of my soul, that I shall be able to see nothing clearly. If we could discern truth would it not be Iosj rather than gain ? For, how far is love, even with many wrong opinions, to be preferred lie fore truth itself without love. But perhaps we cannot find, in the whole circle of orthodox writers, a more faithful instructor on this subject than Dr. Watts. "The iniquity of uncharitableness," says this truly Christian divine, "has more frrin?'. thau theie streams or blanches ucioiiiiig io uie gicui river 01 igypi, oihj it is inure fruitful of serpents ami monsters too." Many of these springs he has traced out, and exposed them to open view. Sometimes, this iniquity, he observes, pro proceeds - ceeds proceeds "from a malicious constitution of na nature, - ture, nature, an acrimonious or choleric temper of blood." To suppress the angry motions of such a ttmiier, "is a work of toil and diiii- cult. PfP11 watchfulness and unceaaii.g ove, and pride, and a vain conceit of our Own opinions. Hence a luin.

Sliould this sentiment obtain the netal belief, what mifht be tie event ? A'hat would be the situation of a certain description of men ? What the condition of this country ? Another frightful objection to my doctrine is, That, should we set our slaves free, it would lav a foundation for inter marriage and an unnatural mixture of blood, and our posterity at length would all be Molal Molalities. - ities.

To plead this, as a reason for the continu ation of slavery, is to plead the fear diat we should disgrace ourselves, an a reason why we aliould do injustice to others : to plead diat we may continue in guilt, for fear the features and complexion of our posterity should be spoiled.

We make an appeal to you, irrespective of party politics, as one having a common iutereat with ourselves, upon a matter, as we conceive, of memen memen-tous - tous memen-tous concern to every Southern man. Vou cannot but have observed die rapid progress of the Anti-Slavery spirit, for some time past, and the alarming influence it has exercised on the politics of ihe country, as exhibited at Wasliingtoir, and throughout die non-alaveholding States of the Union.
