Fellow Citizens: The period of a new election is fast approach ing when you will be called on to select persons to represent you in the next State Legislature. Hav ing had the honor to be one of j pendence and Constitution ofTex your representatives in the last as, and the official account of the Legislature, there is no doubt but battle of St. Jacinto enclosed in a you are expecting a final decision letter from Mr. Childress of the on my part whether 1 will be aiUthJune.

From every direction we hear of heavy rains, (sometimes accompa nied by hail,) freshets, and dam ages sustained by mills, fences, crops, he.

The President trans milted a message (with a report and documents from the Secretary of Slate, on the subject of Texas,) concluding with this: "Not having accurate and detailed information of the civil, military and political condition of Texas, I have deemed it expedient to take the necessary measures now in progress to pro cure it, before deciding upon the course to be pursued, in relation to the newly declared govern ment." The Secretary in his re port, merely states the fact, that he had I IIIU A. V 1 LA f announcing agents, out that no answers to these communications had been given by the Departments. The documents transmitted consist of letters from Messrs. Wharton and Childress, the Texian Commis sioners the declaration of Inde- The Deposit Bill. Our read- j ers have already been apprised of the passage, by large majorities in both houses of Congress; of the Bill regulating the Deposits of the Public money. We have now to announce to them, the important fact the Bill has received the sig nature of the President, and of course is a law of the laud. Had the approbation of the Executive been withheld, such was the im mense weight in favor of the pass age of the Bill, both in the Senate and the House of Representatives, that if persevered in, its ultimate success, by a constitutional ma jority, was quite certain. We re gret, most deeply regret, that such was not the course pursued. On Congress alone should have rested the entire responsibility of a mea sure, we have ever viewed, even in its most modified aspects, as one of great hazard to the people as a whole, and to the States sep arately. That portion of the Bill fixing the amount and man ner of the Deposits with the sever of his country,, by braving the difficulties and dangers of the far west. Thus thinking, we deem it a duty we owe that portion of the people of Virginia, who have fos tered, sustained, and cheered us on by their patronage, in what we respectfully deem to have been a patriotic, as well as democratic course, to avow to them, that we without hesitation or qualification on our own part, condemn, on the part of Congress, the passage of, and on the part of the President, the approval of a Bill which nev er should have been conceived or brought forth in a Republican Country. We annex with pleas ure, for the perusal and considera tion of our readers, an explanato ry editorial article, from the Globe of Friday, on this subject. Our owu strictures are cut short from want of room, and necessarily de ferred until another day. The Deposite Bill.Te de posite bill has been approved by the President. The most impor- al States, ot the surplus lunds oljtant feature in this act is that the Country, reads as follows: j w hich makes the several States the Sec. 13.

The President believes that it is bad policy, as well as unconstitu tional, to raise money from the people far the purpose of distribu ting it among the States. He be lieves that when the revenues of the General Government shall produce more than enough to sup ply its legitimate wants, it is the duty of Congress forthwith to re duce the taxes upon the people. To collect for the purposes of dis tribution, is neither politic nor economical. It is not politic, be cause it necessarily increases the corps of public officers, and, con sequently the influence of the Go vernment. It is not economical, because the people have to pay the salaries of those who manage the process and guaranty their in tegrity. Is it not belter that the farmer's dollar should be left in his own pocket, than that it should be taken out by taxes, direct or indi rect, and, after a year's detention, be handed back to him or to his State Legislature, with a deduc tion of twenty cents to -pay collec tors and clerks who have been employed to take it away and oring ii nackr me same princi over the sum offive millions of dollars, on their nassincr laws.

This I should have long since let you know, but owing to obstacles (of a private nature,) which have prevented me from deciding in my own mind until the present time. These be ing in a measure removed, and having the strongest reasons to believe that it is the wish of a large portion of the citizens of this county for me to become a can didate, I hereby offer you my ser vices in the next Legislature in the House of Commons. Having as before stated, had the honor to be one of your representatives in the last session, 1 trust that you or.a large majority of yon are satisfied with the course I pursued. This 1 know, and my conscience justi fies me in the assertion, that I en deavored to serve you faithfully; and if I did any thing that was contrary to your interest it was not purposely done, but for want of better abilities. To the good old way I stuck, and that is the track 1 intend lo follow until some thing more than I have seen from the opposition convinces me to the contrary; which I feel confi dent never will be the case. It is well known to most of you what will be the leading and most pro minent business lhat will come before the next Legislature. I have no doubt but it will be a long session, and business of vital im portance will be transacted: A mong other important business we have, a U. S.
