sincerely lamented. Being thus Rware, however,
of the strength and unscrupulousnt ss of the contbi-

people are coccerned they will perfoim their part
in the work of Annexation, over-iiding, if need be,
all sorts of internal opposition, and in defiance ol
of dictation or temptation from abroad.

She did’nt feed ’em very much, but she comb’d ’em well in

As may be guess’d, these large tom-cats, they did’nt get very

And horribly glared »heir hunyry eyes—their tads wagg’d to

At last one grim grcymalkin spoke in accents dire to tell,
And dreadful were the words which in his awful whisper fell—
When all the other five tom-cats in answer loud did squall,
“Let’s kill her—and let’s eat iier—body and bones and all!’
Oh horrible ! Oh terrible ! Oh deadly tale to tell!

We are at length reluctantly compelled lo ex

incubus on the energies of ihat country, and are

D
cumvent the declared will of the Texian people and
10.defeat ihe projected union with this confederacy.
The recent advices from Mexico leave us no loop
lo hang a doubt upon. Mr. Jones’s conduct admits
of no other possible explanation. Not only has he,
through the intervention of a British fu.iclionary,
and with a secresy and stealth that of themselves
stamp ihe transaction with fraud, placed h'.s coun
try, al the instant it was offered by the United Stales
into India lo siir up insurrection and discontent and
check the progress of Bi itish dominion in thai quar
ter of the worlds Ytt here are emissaries ol Brit
ain engaged with every appliance of artifice and
cunning, in exciting animosity against this R*’pub
lie for the declared purpose of defeating a fri* iidly
arrangement wnich it is endeavorin? to con'uin-
mate wilh a neighboring State and of supplaniing
its influence and checking ns progr*ss.
We ventured to express the opinion some time
since, that in a certain conlingency, it would b^com»-
the dutv of the United Stales (»»f th» Pr sident of
the Uniled Statfs, in case Congies? ivns not in ses
Sion) to solve ’his 'I'exns question, as xVli . Mad
solved the question of the Ferdid ’in»’ namely, by
a military occupation of the ct vntry Our n» igb-
bor of the Picayune, with som cai’Uon and a ii'a i
terial qualification, assented lo ibis pioposstion ; and
thus iBUlilated, it has been the subjrr* of corisidf'ra
ble animadversion wilh thal class of public prints
which consider the quality of Fubmis.«ion the only
one that the American Governmrnt ought to «-xer-
cise in its foreign intercourse. We mink the ; re
sent a proper occasion to reiterate that piopositi* n.
wilh the full eyunt and meaning of our former ar
gument. We lake this broad ground, thal the
United States would be derelict to every principle
they are bound to maintain; would forfeit their
character,dignity and self respect,and subject them
selves lo perpetual insult and iujury, were they lo
suffer the Annexation of Texas to be defeated, by
any means whatever, through the intervention of an
Europeaji power. This opinion may be easily
maintained by reference lo examples in our previous
history, as well as by the doctrines held by all our
early statesmem and politicians, whose names are
now held as authority. W’hat says Mr Clay, even
so late as the 17ih of April, 1844 in his celebrated
letter from Raleigh? “If any European nation
(declares that great champion of American doctrine)
entertains any ambitious designs upon such
as that of colonizing her, or in any way suhjuga"
ting her. I should regard it as the imperative duty
of the Government of the United States, to oppose
to such designs, the most firm and determim d re
sistance, io the exlent if necessaiy of appealing to
arms lo prevent the accomplishment of any such
designs.” And this be it remembered, was not said
under the supposition that I’exas would be ofTered
an opporlunuy to enter ihe Union, but in an opinion
directly the reverse. How much greater right of
inleiference the United States would possess under
existing circumstances, than in the conditiou of
v.iibd .unong ihe Philis"vincs in Cannaan; in the
Grt ciai. Camp nt 'I'roy ; il prevailed at Rome, Ath-

sutBcitni to spread the disease, yet on the other
hand i; is inaintaini d, ih.at in a pure atmosphere,
plague cannot be commtmicaled, and that cordons
and lazeicuocs arc not available. Odessa in the
Bia* k Sea, has an admirably arranged iazaretlo,
and sir:ct quaiaiiiine laws, and yet iiol«longago,
int' plague bn kr out in that jdace. In 18o5, Me-
hfniti All of Egypt, plactd a cordon of live hun'
dred persons around the Haram to keep out the
plague, yei it oblaintd admittance. The Persians,
fiotn air, room, and exercise, seldom catch the
plague, atid Clot Bt-y, wi.o was in this country,
and al one time haJ charj»e of the Plague hospitals
in E*iypt, twice innocula ed himself with pus, with*
oui laliing the plague, and maintained that when
ever It bioke out in close and confined districts, the
preventive was to cltar oul the residents to a purer
atmosphere, and clcse up the infected districts, pre
cisely as successfully as we do in yellow fever.
Wheiisvor an undoubtt'd ca.«:e of yellow fever ap
pears, abandon the position and retreat before it. If
there be no inhabitant? to f»:td upon, and the dis
ease IS epidemic, it n.akes slow progress and scon
d.sappeais. In 1S19 ilie subjrciof the plague was
brouglit before the B’.iiish Parliament for the pur
pose of examining inio the character and value of
ilu duaianline rvgulalions, and a very searching
inquirv was iusliiuttd. Il was decided to the satis-
faciion ot all, that plague only appeared in crowd
ed, ill veniilftied, and filthy localities; or from the
miasm of ptsiiforous soils. It is not the air of Tur
key, Syiia, or Egypt, that generates it. It lurks
in ih«- swamps ol Egypt, and revels in the filih ci
CotiStantinople. Dr. Hancock says, the prcvcn'
live consis's in the cleanliness of tov.’ns protcciing
Ihe poor against famine and encouraging industry
and aciiviiv. VVe, therefore, in this ciiy, looking
