Ho Idea Editor and Proprietor When the undersigned took charge of the Standard, on the 1st of June, 1843, its list numbered about one thousand subscri bers. Since that time this number hag con siderably increased, but it is still insufficient to support such a paper as the democracy of the State desire to have at the seat oi gov ernment. Alt the friends of the paper, with whom ithe undersigned has conversed and corresponded on the subtect, think that the list may be increased, to at least four thousand. Cannot this be accomplish: ed? The undersigned respectfully su jmils whether, out of 40,000 democratic votjrs.in North Carolina, there cannot be obt.it ried for the Centra! Journal a permanent urcu lation of four thousand copies? It is needless, perhaps, to say that the Standard will be constantly devoted to the support andj promulgation of democratic principles, and that its Editor will labor, month by month, & year by year, with what ever abilities he may possess, to destroy the .odious and dangerous doctrines of the Fed eral party. And it may not be imp oper to state here, that at a late meeting o the Democratic State Central Committee for North Carolina, a Resolution was passed heartily and; entirely approving of the Stan dard since it has been under the control of the undersigned, and recommending to the party throughout the State the in ipor tarice of increasing its circulation. The Standard will. continue to give attention as heretofore, to miscellaneous reading, and to the general pews of the clay? and no efforts nor pains will be spared to render it an use ful and interesting sheet. To those w io, at the commencement of his labors, gave o the undersigned a generous support and conff dence, and who continue to cheer him by their patronage and friendship and indeed to -the whole demociatic party of the State he tenders his sincere thanks.

One by-gone niorn, as village bells Rang bright o'er stream and lea, Young Walter breathed a sad farewell To lovely Lncy Lee. A glossy ringlet nefct his heart He braves the stormy sea; The melting sighthe tearful eye Remain with Lucy Lee. Oh! poor Lucy Lee, Oh! poor Lucy Lee, The melting sigh the tearful eye Remain with Lucy Lee. And gone are years of hopes and fears; From Walter or the sea, No tidings came to fan the tiame, The light of Lucy Lee The flower with perfume scents the heath, Tho' withering it may bei So gently passed the wasted breath Of lovely Lucy Lee Oh! poor Lucy Lee, Oh! poor Lucy Lee, So gently pissed the wasted breath Of lovely Uucy Lee. How sadly tolls the village bells! Tho bush, and flower,.. and tree, Bloom gladly forth, yet every knell Mourns lovely Lucy Lee. A stranger joined that tearful train Young Walter crossed the sea Beside her tomb oft true loves doom! He weeps for Lucy Lee5 Oh! poor Lucy Lee Oh! poor Lucy Lee, Reside her tomb oft true lo doom ! He weeps for Lucy Lee ye s THE PARTING. Saddened are those deep dark eyes- Tell me Why i Do they mourn for sundered ties Hopes that die? Gives the heart, with aorrow weary To the future still more dreary) One sad sigh? Ties we Weave we soon must sever, Such is fate. And the heart is left fdiever Desolate. Like some calm unrnffl'd ocean Dead to every past emotion, Love or hate To me no more as to another Canst thou be4 Love which sister hath for brother Bare not me. Here that dream forever endeth, Other hopes with friendship blendeth Mournfully Less, or something more than friend Wilt thou be, Nor doubt, enduring in the end Trustfully? Tho' we parting words have spoken Still, 1 owe, through life unbroken, Love to thee. From the Union. TEXAS. We now run very little risk in congrat ulating our country upon the cheering prospects of the re union of Texas. We hope we are not too sanguine in the result.

The question is nearly safe; and Teias will come into bur arms arjd 6 'repose on her le gitimate mother," in vSpite of Mexico or of Great Britain in defiance of the aboli l ionists. and in de.fcpite of the antiTexas whigs We have just seen vefy late and Impor tant letters from Washington, in Texas, to the 19th of April. One of these letters," from a very intelligent American, runs as follows: ! find, from the tone of the Riehmottd Enquirer, and some others, that they are alarmed at the course pursued by the Nat tional Register, the reputed organ of the govefnrrienf, and that ot the Civilian1, which "ate both agafnst annexation, Ai; I before informed you;, they are ihe oftly psL pers in ieas agaipsi ute measure,-..ma i am pleased to spe, from the Civilian o! the 1 2th 1 instant, that the editor has cnanged his course and is now out for it; and the National Register of the 16b iHSt. says not a! word on- the subject, which Is a strong ndicatron that he, too. will cease to war on the measure;' o I hop you iriJI not take tany alarm at the squibs of those nevspa jpers more especially as thri President has , convened Congress. That ) Congress Will be, or was at the last session, Unanimously in favor of the measure; and I may add, that nine-tenths Of the people are for it. "we took upon the duestion as now safe. Nothing can defeat it not evert the recog nition of her independence by Mexico,' Another letter, from an equally respect able sdurce of the 18th of April, says: "Atfairs are srt far changed; that not a rioubt nted notfy be entertained of the suc cess of the measure The editor of the National Register admits that the question is settled. He is a clever, aihiablew Drom- ising young man one Of those who will riot long stay in the Wrong." At one time, there was some reason for apprehension arid doubt. An evident Change had come over the spirit of the dream" of all the executive deDartments. fhe British and French ministers had visi ted Washington. The govtrniftent paper was in opposition to us on all the points ol our basis. The Secretary of State had gone off, then the acting Secretory, Mr. Allen after him? and then the Secretary of the Treasury, These events are said to have; happened the day after Major Donelson'sj arrival at Washington. Yet President! Jones talked kindly, and intimated the course which he has since adopledv Gen Houston Was at Montgomery CoUrt-house. Unfortunately, for the moment, he seemed mysteiiously silent, or perhaps indisposed, to annexation. The British minister, (El liot.) it is said, had attempted to profit by this feeling; but it will all be in vain. Gen. Houston will see his own glory be fore it will be too late to tarnish it in any degree. The British intrigue will be foil ed; and, though an attempt may be made as we mentioned the other day, to present a counter project of independence, in some form or other, yet it is doubtful whether it will be Submitted unconditionally oh the part of Mexico. We trust, therefore, that every thing in relation to this long pro tracted and agitated and agitating question will go off smoothly and the difficulty be settled forever. We cannot doubt that Gen. Houston how sees, or will. soon see his true interest and his proper course. In vain has he fought the battle of San Jacin to in vain crowned his brows with bril liant laUrels in vain carved out a name for. himself among the great men of the earth, if he now attempts to defeat the re union of the two republics; and if he should listen to the syren voice and the desperate intrigues of a British minister, who has dared to talk of war between BSn gland and the United States, and in eon- junction with a nation which is jealous of our power, and envious of our influence. Should such be General Sam Houston's course his influence must be lessened, to the great regret of every American Who respects his services and honors his name. But he cannot fall into such an unfortunate blunder. Let hiirt .recollect that fnis coronal opus it is the end which crowns the noble work and act accordingly The eye of all America is upon him; eve ry heart is anxious to do him justice,' and anxious that he should do justice to him self. In a word we feel every proper assu rance of d glorious consummation of our ef forts. - As a correspondent from Washing ton, in Texas, writes on the 17th, 'A lit tie light has dawned Upon us. The colled tor ott the Sabine is instructed not to press the claim of I the United States. The President talks kindly ; Congress Will soort be here; nine-tenths of the people will rati fy the proposals; and Texas will be in the American Union before-the first message of President Polk is delivered. V A -scene at the Presidents house. Yesterday morning a man named Milton Fowlef, aged about thirty-five years, and apparently deranged in mind, walked, in all the consequence of dignity, into the mansion, carrying undef each arm a loaf of bread, and id each hand a bottle of wine. Having deposited his provisions with ex treme nicety in a safe place, and after rest ing a few moments on one of the very soft est cushions of the reception room, he be gan to take a wholesale review of the capa cious premises, and appeared extremely .pleased with the adornments especially the pier glasses wnicn reneciea nis Deauiy. But, from his matrner, every thing belong ed to him, principalities and powers" and. for fear of innovation arid to draw on airrfvals, he drew from his pocket a knife, -1.

Mr. J.
