The publisher undertook the work wihh
a firm conviction that the great city oj
New York was the best and the true home
for a magazine of general .. literature; at
notwithstanding the failure of many prei
ous attempts to establish such a work, there
could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital, perseverance and the
right system of management both by puof
lisher and editor; stimulated by this con-"
viction he embarked in the enterprise arid
the result of the first year has proved thjat
his judgment was correct.

With the aid of thse contributors, (of
whom it is needless to say one vvortl in the
way of commendation.) and of numerous
others perhaps equally meritorious if less
celebrated, who have promised u their
support, we flatter ourselves thai, asa liter

apprehension of being excelled.
But what we have done is already be
fore the public, who will not fail to judge
us with impartiality ; and in respect to what
we intend to do, it will be both wiser and
mojre becoming (allho' less fashionable) not
to boast We .may be perniittd to assure
our friends in brief, however, that we have
.matured numerous plans (for the third vol
ume) with which we feel confident they will
be pleased. It is pur purpose to put forth
every energy; and it will be no fault of our
own if the Columbian shall not be found at
least equal to any magazine, of any class
or price, in America. ;

v For sale by GEO. HOWARD:
Tarboro', June? 1844.
He said this subject of incorporating Tex
as into the Union, at its appearance in the
Senate, necessarily presented two quest
tions to a faithful and scrtipulous Senator:
first, whether the constitution allowed
the government, by the action of any
one of its departments, or all of them
together, the rightful power ! to ad
quire additional territory. For if not
there was an end of it. A nd next, though
t he power might exist, whether it was pott
it ic and wise n the United States to exercise
it. and to enlarge her borders by the aequil
silion of Texas Without going ' into- a
repetition of all the reasons for holding the
affirmative side on these constitutional and
national questions, he remarked that forne
he had sought after the truth, determ'ining
in his own ?mind to pursue it, regardless of
the interest of men or parties. He h ad
looked to the wisdom of the past in order
to decide his vote at the present, when -leg
islating, as we were in a peculiar sense, for
the weal or woe of Xheftffure.
Upon the first point .the power of the
United States government to enlarge her
borders by the acquisition of new territo4
ries he found that the treaty of Louisi
ana, made by Mr. Jefferson- in 1.S03, had
been ratified by more than tvyo thirds, of
the wise men and patriots of the Senate of
that day. It had been ratiheo not in silent
acquiescence, nor by any constrained sub
mission to a real or supposed necessity, but
deliberately and after full debate, by th'
great minds of the nation. It was not a de
cision made without intellectual conflicts,
but a solemn, well:CQnsidered determina
tion of the question, after every thing which
could be said against the power had been
said and answered and deliberated upon.
He found that the Florida treaty was
made by Mr. Monroe in I HI 9, whereby
another large territory was likewise acqui
red; and at that day the opinion of the coun
try had become so well settled in favor of
the pawer of acquiring territory under
our constitution, that the treaty of Florida
was ratified by the unanimous vote of the
Senate 1
In the House of Representatives there
was some opposition to the bill for carrying
the treaty into effect, and some effort had
been made to protest against it, not, how
ever, upon the ground of hostility to receiv
ing the territory which was acquired by it,
and not for the want of power to acquire it,
but on account of the cession by the United
States to Spain of the American claim to
Texas under, the treat3' ot li03 Texas be
iug a part of Louisiana as originally pur
chased in 1803.
He found that, from time to time, new
States had been organized in the Territory
of Louisiana, had been admitted into the U
nion; and Florida herself was nowi at the
door waiting, and even demanding our con
sent to admit her to take her place with
Iowa in the Union. These decisions were
conclusive upon the question of our power
to acquire new territories.
Upon the other point the policy of re
acquiring Texas- a like recurrence to the
past had been sufficient to remove all his
doubts. He found, from ISO 3 to 1819
from the time of the Louisiana treaty bv
which Texas was acquired as a part of Loui
siana to the date of the Florida treaty by
which jt was ceded to Spain, a period of 16
years that the government of the United
States, our officers, statesmen, politicians,
and public presses, had put up a claim to
Texas as a part ot Louisiana, and, as already
stated, some of the most eminent statesmen,
in the House of Represenlativea and out of
it, had denounced and opposed that part of
the treaty of Honda by which our claim
to Texas had been ceded away. They had
reprobated its impolicy, and denied the
right of the government to part with any
portion of the national territory. They
had yielded to it, however, on account of
the higher policy and the political expedi
ency of abiding by the treaty as a whole.
Yet some of them, who were still conspicu
ous" leaders in politics, and shining lights in
the galaxy of American statesmen, even at
that day had avowed a determination to re
acquire it, as necessary to the welfare of the
nation, and indispensable to an important
section of the Union.
He found that Mr. Adams's administra
tion being the next immediately after Mr.
Monroe's, had endeavored to reacquire
Texas, and failed. .
He found that General Jackson's admin
istration, the next after Mr. Adams's had
pursued the same policy, and had renewed
t hese efforts to reacquire Texas, but with
out success. .
He found that Mr. Van Buren's admin
istration; the next after;' General Jackson's
President Vun Buren having been in
fact the secretary who' conducted the nego
tiation for it under his predecessor neve
abandoned the policy of reaanexation, but
onlv suspended any active immediate ex
ertions to accomplish it, for. reasons of state
too familiar to require a repetition.
He found that Mr. Tyler's administra
tion, the next after Mr- Van Buren's. had
adopted ihe policy of his predecessors and
had pushed it with greal Ze;d, so as to make
a treaty with Texas, and had submitted it
to the Senate for their advice.
He found that Texas, a few years after
being ceded to Spain in 189, became a
sovereign member of the Mexican confe-l-eracy;
and that, after a successful revolu
tion, this Mexican confederacy was ack
nowledged by the United States to be a
sovereign and independent nation.
He found that Texas, afterwards, had
successfully resisted, by force, the attempt
to subjugate her people at the pverthrow
f the Mexican confederacy; and that the
United States, in solemn form, had ack
nowledged her independence 'and sover
eignty, as did the other great powers of
the world. Rut even in our act .admitting
the independence of 'Texas, the old and
fhrrshed policy of this government to re
incorporate Texus into our Union was dis
tinctly avowed in the Senate, as it had been
responded to and reciprocated by Texas her-,
self; and altho' postponed, it was not at all
abandoned. See debates )
Having looked so far into the public acts
of the nation, in proof her policy, Mr. H
"aid he had then examined the opinions of
i he eminent men, some of whone names
he might use, but in no spirit either of
censure or of praise. He found that all
the Presidents of the; United States, since
Texas was ceded away all, without ex
ception had been anxious and active in
tlieir endvavors to reacquire jt Adams,
Jackson, Van Buren, Tyter 'Though
diffe ring widely' upon other poin s, there
was a most remarkable concuri ence upon
this one.
He found that all the Vxe Presidents
since that time, had approved the policy of
reacquiring i exas.
He found that all the Secretaries of
Stale (to whose office it belonged lo con
duct our foreign affairs) concurred and co
operated in the same thing.
He had found, indeed, that until a com
paratively late day, when fanaticism had
combined with party spirit to organize vol
untary societies for abolitionism, this sen
timent had been almost universal. There
might be exceptions, yet he believed there
was not an eminent statesman, nor a distin
guished politician, in America, who had
lifted his voice against the reacqirisition of
Texas against the policy of reincorpora
ting Texas into the Union, until after it had
been injuriously burdened ith an alliance
to the question of negro slavery.
With this unvaried current of sentiment
in all sections with all administrations of
all parties with most if not all of the lea
ding statesmen and politicians of America,
he could not undertake to contend and set
up against the measure now any distrusting
fears of his own mind. As he had not
neretolore, so neither would he at this
lime, enlarge upon the topic, by attempt
ing to, assign other reason why it appear
ed to him to be our true policy to restore
the ancient limits of the republic whenever
1 exas was ready and willing to be reunited
to us, and the good work might be accom
plished with harmony, according to the
const ttulion.
True it was, (he continued.) that the spi-
pnlicy of the Unit ed States for a qu arter
of a century and mot e to acquire 'Texas

Mr. H. paHl tnr,ithoiiOi lie did nOt pre
tend to assert t hat he had st bppel his in ves-'
ligation precisely at this point, yet he could
declare that, apart from all olhers,Hhis
view of the! subject -s jemed lo his mind
conclusive, as iwell upon the 'question of
power as upon the question of policy. (
