Dear Sir:—'I’he President ot Texas, on ac- coutu,.as he alleges, of private and confidenfinl con versation between him and myself, has issued his proclamation revoking the Exequatur, recognizing nie as Consul at Galveston. He is indeavoring to make it a matter between this Government and that ot the United States T his would be to play into the hands of the British Minister and favor the pur poses which the President and some of those about him are supposed to be anxious to accomplish.— The w'hole matter is private and personal between the President and myself, and I am resolved that it shall remain so. Al present the Proclamation has b( en suspended, and an efiort is being made by mu tual friends to bring about a reconciliation. [t seems to me that President Jones has intentionally sought a quarrel without a causej if so, no reconcil iation can take place, because having taken his course under the advice of evil counsellors, the same influence will prevail. In that case I must expect to encounter the combined infliwnce of the British Minister and the President of Texas acting in concert for the purpose of defeating the wishes of a majority of the people of Texas and of the Uni led States. { ani aware of the fearful odds against me, but^ I am not dismayed All that I now ask is that public opinion be suspendtd, until I can place the facts fully before the country, when it will be I found that the President of Texas has not the sligh- i'*st possible cause for the manner in which he has treated me. I writp this note for the purpose of saying m ad vance, that while I intend lo vindicate my own character. I uitend’to do it iti my own way at the propri time that { will not if I can prevent, per mit the personal injustice done tome, to become the cause of a controversy between the two »^overn- ments. or any way to retard or effect the q“uet.tion of annexation, and to ask the favor of you to publish this, if in your opinion it becomes necessary to cor rect any erroneous impressions which may L-et abroad, ^ ^ Very respectfully, your? . ' j^UFF GREEN. JLditor 1 eiegraph, Houston. Tb f/ie Editor oj the Register : Sir, the President's proclamation revoking n>y exequatur, as Const;! at Galvtston. has given use thing ?horl of low itself, tt was only for cither of them to make the request, ihat Ihis man be appoint ed to the efilt'e named, or that one be removed fiom the post he filled, and' it was done. The struggle with them now is, to preserve the §ame command ing influence with the new Administration. 'I’hey feel and know that they have no claim on Mr. Polk for any favor whatever; on the contrary, they are aware that the course they pursued was such as to call from him one of the sternest rebukes. Hence arises the course of policy they have been, and still are, pursuing. Their object is lo head Mr. Polk. They w’lll do it if they can. They are in a most peculiar and critical situation. If they lose their influence with the Executive, and can no longer control appointtnen»i and removals, they lose all in fJuence in other quarters where they have hereto' fore exerted it in consequence thereof. We learn that the last and most desperate efTort on the part of those individuals has been already arranged for the purpose of accomplishing iheir de» signs. Some of the most active, unblushing, and pertinacious of those cliques have been selected to beseige Mr Polk al his lodgings from the moment he arrives in this city until he lakes up his quarters in the Presidential mansion. Certain members of the classes referred to, have, we understand, alrea dy secured lodgings at Coleman’s, and will as soon as Mr. Polk arrives, leave their private lodg ings and go to their new quarters. That they are destined lo meet wilh n:iorl'fication and disappointment, we can hardly entertain a doubt. While Mr. Polk will receive them courtc' ously as visiters, we believe he has too much of the iron nerve to Iisttn for a moment to their dictation. It is evident lo oqr minds, that they have resolved either to rule or ruin. If they cannot rufe, they will throw every obstacle in the way of Mr. Polk they possibly can lo embarrass his Administration and thwart his measuaes. Be it so; the democracy will be strong enough without them, and will pros per better with their hostility than their amity, con siderinj the cost at which it is obtained U.JM I^AY MORWIWG, FEBRUARI14, I845, Terms of the I^ECKI^EMBrRO JEFFEKSO:¥IA!¥. weekly for TWO JWCtAKS i^r aiinnm, if paid in ad vanee, or witbin one month from *hl af ?he^t*i?“*r“R.’^ remlUcd by mall will be inserted at One and insertion, ** continuance.

He was mistaken. Though ‘ music hath charms’ like love, It is not the only desideratum in the world • for a while ii pleases the ear and touches the heart but ministers not to the mind! The lady seldom courted Apollo, and her husband had the mortifi cation of fueling that he had not yet made his domi- cil a Par'idise to “ her he adored.” At last, to solve tlie riddle of her discontent, he asked her if she did not at times regret having entered the marriage state -Oh no. mdeeed,” she replied, with great earriest ness— • never for a moment have I been other than your happy wife ; but I sometimes—“Well some times what, dearest?” “ If I must tell you. then sometimes I regret that you do not take the News papers.

These same men are horror struck at the bare mention of ihe annexation of Texas, and raise ail sorts of objections. It is un constitutional, dangerous, will prodt:ce war with Mexico and England, and dissolve the Union.—* These are their objections, notwithstanding Texas has asked to be idmitted into the Union. But they are keen for admitting Canada, which has nev er asked to be admitted, and which is a mere Pro vince of the British Empire! In this case, thev seem to have no dread of a war with Great Brilain a case in which she would have just cause to make war upon us And m all this they are join ed and applauded by the southern whig press with* out an exception, and by most of the southern whig politicians. The correspondence growing out of the diffjcully between Gen Duf Green, our Consul at Galveston, Texas, and the President of that Republic, will be found in our columns to-day. We are inclined lo think that Gen. Green, as usual, has acted hastily and imprudent. President Jones, however, is o Massachusetts yank*e, and more of a Brilain than an American in feeling. Gen A.
