The country, .tself, thus obtaisedgis of incalculable va c Fole in:aD ngricultural and 6commercia point of view; To a soil of inexhaustible fertility, it unites a genial and healthy climate, and is ,destined, ata -day not distant, to make *farge contributions to the commerce of the world. Its territory is separated from the United States. in -part. by an imaginary line, and by the river Sabine, for a distance of 310 miles; and its productions are the same with those of many of the contiguous States of the Union. Such is the country, such are its inhabitants, and such its capa cities to add to the general wealth of the Union. As to the latter, it may be safely asserted, that in the magnitude of its pro. ductions, it will equal, under the protecting care of this Government, .if it- does not surpass, the combined production of many. States of- the confederacy. A new and powerful impulse will thus be given to the navigating interest:of the country, 'which will be chiefly engrossed by our fellow citizens of the Eastern and- Middle States, who have already attained a remarkable degree of posperity by the partial monop oly they have-enjoyed of the carrying trade of the Union; particularly the coastwise trade, which this new acquisition is des tined in time, and that not distant, to swell to a magnitude which cannot easily be computed, while the addition made to the boundaries of the home market, thus secured to their mining, manufacturing. and mechanical skill and industry, will be of a character the most commanding and important. Such are some of the many advantages which will accrue to the Eastern and Mid dle States by the ratification of the treaty --advantages, the extent of which it is im possible to estimate with accuracy or pro perly to appreciate. Texas being adapted to the culture of cotton, sugar, and rice, and devoting most of her energies to the raising of these productions, will open an extensive market to the western States, in the important articles of beef, pork, horses, mules, &c. as well as its breadstuffs. At the same time, the Southern and South western States will find, in the fact of an nexation, protection and security to their peace and tranquillity, as well against all. domestic as foreign efforts to disturb them; thus consecrating anew the Union of the States, and holding out the promise of its perpetual duration. Thus, at the same time that the tide of public prosperity is greatly swollen, an ap peal, of what appears to the Executive to be of an imposing, if not of a resistless character, is made to the interests of every portion of the country. Agriculture, which would have a new and -extensive market opened for its produce; commerpe, whose ships would be freighted with the rich pro ductions of en extensive andfertile region ; and the mechanical arts, in all their va rious ramifications, would seem to unite in' one universal demand for the ratification of tbe treaty. But important as these considerations may appear, they are to be regarded as but secondary to others Texas, for reasons deemed sufficient by herself, threw off her dependence on Mexico,as far back as 1836, and consummated her independence by the battle of San .facinto, in the same year ; since which period, Mexico has attempted, no serious invasion of her territory ; but the contest has assumed features of a were border war, characterised by acts revolting to humanity. In the year 1836 Texas adopted her constitution, under which she has existed nsa sovereign power everainee, having been recognised as such by many of the principal powers of the world ; and contemporaneously with its ad option by a solemn vote of her people, embracing all her population but ninety-three persons, declared her anxious desire to be admitted - into association with the United States as a portion of their territory. This vote, thus solemnly taken, has never been reversed and now, by the action of her .constituted authorities, sustained as it is by popular sentiment, she reallirms her desire for an nexation. This course has been adopted by her, without the employment of any sinister measureson the part of this govern ment: No intrigue has been set on foot to aecomplish it. Texas herself will, it, and the Executive of the United States, con curring with her, has seen no sufficient reason to avoid the consummation of an act esteemed to be so desirable by both. It cannot be denied, that Texas is greatly de pressed in her energies by her long-protrac ted war with Mexico. Under these cir cnmstances, it is bat natural that she should seek for safety and repose under the protection ofesome stronger power; and it is egnally, so that her people should turn to the United States, the land of their birth, in the first instance, in the pursuit of such protection.-She has often before made known her wishes; bat her advances have, to this time, been repelled. The Executive 'of the United States sees no longer any cause for pturstaing such a course. The hazard of now defeating her wishes may be ofithe most-fatal tendency. It might lead, amid spost itiably would, to such an eatire alienation ofsentument and feeling as would inevitablyiiiduce her to look elsewhere for aid, gut force her either to eater into dangerous alliances with other nations, who, looking with more wisdom to their ipterests, would, it is fairly to be presumed, readily adopt such expedients; or she would hold out the proffer of discri minating duties in trade and commerce, in order to secure the necessary assistance. Whatever step she might adopt, looking to thIs object, would prove disastrous, in the niotlnng rfthe mpolig r 0ea ti) rd adu4 s^ gb_ sc~ scounty Passo'ut ~ouj'h s o o erelahi +a;e~ .amenj nt : rs place, wouldl.e certainto'sufr most disastrus= ,lynitsrevenue -by the iitroduction of a syste mfinugging, .pon an extensive scale, wbfin army-of customhouse of ficerstcouldorprevcnt-an'dwhich would operate to uflbctinjuriously the interests: of altlie itusiat classes of this couuiry. :Hence woulil inse constant collisions be tweenibe inhabitants of-the two countries which'ould ever, more endanger their peace -A lafge increase of' the military ercdiof thelUnited Sates wotild inevitably dllow, thus devolving :upon the people wewiandetaI'diarv burdens, in order not only-to protect them from the' danger of daily.collision with Texas herself, but to -guard Iheir border. inhabitants against hostile inroads, so easily excited on the parts of the numerous and warlike, tribes of [Idians dwelling in their neighborhood. Texas would 'undoubtedly be" unable, for many years to come, if at any time, to re sist, unaided.and alone, the militiry pow er of the United States ; but it is not, x-_ travagant to suppose that nations reaping a rich harvest from her trade, 'secured to them by advantageous' treaties, 'would be induced to take part with her in any con flict with us, from the strongest considera tions of 'public& policy. -Such a 'state of things might subject to devastation the ter ritory ofeogtinuous States, and would cost the country; - in a single campaign, more treasure, thrice told over, than-is stipulated to be paid and reimbursed by the treaty now proposed for ratification. 1 will not permit myself to dwell on this view of the subject. Consequences of. fatal character, to the peace of the Union- and even to the preservation of the Union itself, might be dwelt upon. They will not, however, fail to occur to the mind of the Senate and of the country. Nor do I - indulge in any vague conjectures of the future. The do cuments now transmitted "along~ with the treaty, lead to the conclusion, as inevita ble, that if the boon now tendered be re jected, Texas will seek for the friendship of others. 'In contemplating such a contingency, it cannot be overlooked that the U. States are already almost surrounded by the pos sessions of European powers.-The Can adas, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. the islands in the American. seas, with Texas, trammelled by treaties of alliance, or of a commercial character, differng in policy from that of the-United States,would complete the circle. Texas voluntarily steps forth, upon terms of the most perfect honor to ask to be annexed to the Union. As an independent sovereignty, her right to do this is unquestionable. In doing so, she gives no cause of umbrage to any other power; her people desire it, and there is no slavish transfer of her sovereignty and independence. She has for eight years maintained her independence against all eforts to subdue her. She has been re cognised as independent by many of the most prominent of the family of nations, and that recognition, so far as they are concerned, places her in a position, with out giving any just umbrage to them, to surrender her sovereignty at her own will and pleasure. The United States, actua ted evermore by a spirit of justice, has de sired, by the stipulation of the treaty, to render justice to all. They 'have made provision for the payment of the public debt of Texas. We look to her ample and fertile domain as the certain means of ac complishing this; but this is a matter be tween the United States and Texas and with which other' governments have no thing to do. Our right to receive the rich grant tendered by Texas is perfect; and this government should hot having due res pect either to its own honor or its own in terests, permit its course of policy to be in terrupted by the interference of other pow .ers, even if such interference was threaten ed. The quesiion is one purely American. In the acquisition, while we abstain most carefully from all tbat could interrupt the public peace, wve claim the right to exer cite a due regard to our own. This go. vernment cannot, consistently with its ho nor, permit any such interference. With equal, if not greater propriety, might the United States demand of other govern ments to surrender their numerous and valuable acq6isitions, made in time past, at numberldss places on the surface of the globe, where'by they have added to their power and enlarge'd their resources. To Mexico. the Executive is disposed to pursue a course concillatory in its char acter, and at the same time to render her the most ample justice, by conventions and stipulations not inconsistent with the rights and dignity of the government. It is actuated by no spirit of unjust aggran disement, but looks only to its own securi ty. It has made known to Mexico, at several periods, its extreme anxiety to wit ness the termination of hostilities between that country and Texas. Its wishes, how ever, have been entirely disregarded. It has ever been ready to urge an adjustment of the dispute upon terms mutually advan tageous to both. It will be ready at all times to hear and discuss any claims Mex ico may think she has on the justice of the United States, and to adjust any that may be deemed to he so on the most liberal terms. There is no desire on the part of the Executive to wouad her pride, or af fect injuriously her interest; but, at the same time, it caninot compromit by any delay in its action the essential interests of the United States. Mexico has no right to ask or expect this of us-we deal rightful ly with Texas as an independent power. The war which has been waged for eight yearn has resulted only in the conviction, with all othess than herself, that Texas cannot be reconquered. I cannot but re peat the opinion, expressed in my message at the opening of Congress, that it is time it had ceased. The Executive, while it conld, not look upon its longer continuance without the greatest uneasiness, has never theless, for all past time, preserved a course of strict neutrality. 'It could not be igno rant of the fact of the exhaustion which a war of so long a duration had produeed. Least of all was it ignorant of the anxiety of other powers to induce Mexico to enter into terma of reconciliation with Texas, which,' affecting the domestic instititions of Texas, would operate most injurionsly upon the' United States, and might most .d giib.the fact, th'althouogireigi goyernments mightdisk!otwal deiign to disturb tlirelationswhjh eaist under the Constittiion between these States vet -that one, the most powerful amogst them,. had not failed to declare its marked' aud decided- hostility to the chief -features in, those relations,- and its..purpose, owr all suitable occasions, to ujge.:upon MeIfeo the adoption of'sucb: a ourse.an negotiat Mpg with Texas auto proifecethe oblttera lion of that featiist from-her domestie po liey as oneof theconditions oiher recog nition, by Mexico, ason, inidependent. State: The Executie was also aware of the fact, that formidabro associations of persons, the subjects of-foreign powers, existed, who were directing their utmost efiorts to the accomplishment of-this ob ject. To these conclusions it was inevita bly brought by the documents now sub mitted to the Senate. I-repeat, the Exe cutivd saw Texas in a :state of almost hopeless exhaustion, and the question was narrowed down to the simple proposition, whether the United States should accept the boon of annexation on fair and liberal terms, or by .refusing to do so, force Texas to seek a refuge in the arms of some other power, either through a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, or the adoption of some other expedient, whieh might virtu ally make her tributary to such power, and dependent upon it for all future time. The Executive has full reason to believe that such would have been the result, in the.event either of unnecessary delay in the ratification, or of the :rejection of the proposed treaty. In full view then, of tie highest public duty, and as a measure of security against evils incalculably great, th'e Executive has entered into the negotiation. the fruits of which are now submitted to the Senate. Independent of the urgent reasons wbic'h existed for the step it had taken, it might safely invoke the fact, which it confident ally believes, that there exists no civilized government on earth, having a voluntary tender made it ofa domain so rich and fer tile, so replete with all that can add to na iunal greatness and wealth, and so neces sary to its peace and safety, that would re ject the offer. Nor are other powers, Mexi co inclusive, lilkely, in any degree, to be injurously affected by the ratification of the treaty. The prosperity of Texas- will be equally interesting to all; in the increase of the general commerce of the world, that prosperity will be secured by annexation. But one view of the, subject remains to be presented; It grows out of the proposed enlargement of our territory. From this I am free to confess, I see no danger. The federative systein is susceptible of the greatest extension compatible with- the ability of the representation of the'most dis tant state of Tetkitory to reach the seat of government in time to participate in the functions of legislation, and to make known the wants-of the constituent body. Our confederated'republic consisted origi nally of thirteen niembers. It now consists of twice that nuthber, while applications are before Congtess to permit other addi tions. This. addition of pew States has served to strengthen rather than to weaken the Union. New int-ests have sprung up, which require the'inited power of all, through the action-o' the common govern ment to protect and defend upon the high seas and in foreign parts. Each State commits, with perfect security. to that com mon government; those great interests growing out of ourrelations with other na tions of the world, and which equally in volve the good of aill the States. Its do mestic concerns are loeft to its owvn exclusive management. But if there were any force in the objec tion. it would seem'to require an immediate abandonment of- territorial posseesions which lie in the distance and stretch to a far-off sea; and yet no one would be found, it is believed, ready to recommend such an abandonment. Texas lies at our ve-ry doors and in our immediate vicinity. Under every view which I have been able to take of the subject, I think that the interests of our common constituents, the people of all the States, and a love of the Union, left the Executive no other alterna tive than to negotiate the treaty. The high and solemn duty ef ratifying or rejecting it, is wisely devolved on the Senate by the Constitution of thie United States. :# JOHN TYLER. Washington, April 22, 1844.

Mat.CLA -ND TEXAS. We have the big gin at last-the Whig candidate for the:Pridency is out, in the track ofJohn Q. Admet and Daniel Web ster, against the admiiion of Texas. We had hoped better thing. We could scarce ly think so poorly othe manhood of Mr. Clay, as to imagine' ,~t he would make a political progress thirpugh the Southern States, marking his cob, rse every where by electioneering speecheq, and keeping in the dark his opinions ont a question of such deep and absording inierest as this, till he bad escaped from our borders, and found himself on the niorth a e of the Potomac. It is no answer tosays s letter is dated at Raleigh-we have not~ doubt that it was discussed at Ashlaif was published the day after his arnvaIit Wasbington. -It was published. too, b~Jre he could have had any opportunity i examine the ques tion in the aspect in which it is presented to the Sennae y the 1iecuntiveom...-..': ,catons.and ea disc th frstttomti this Aoveinnt: r:i is a litical one, bn o t 4 eed yand that fii biwi heldhis.seit n on 0131! to give himsel vawnt oEtraveiling through the Soutfr asi Sutheid nan, and pledgingand conmittingpeole to -his support, before.the -kiewhis sentiments our tlissubject, and while indeed, they-be lieved him to ieof opposite opinion.- All thisii very speaking and unworthy of Mr. Clay. Butnow there comesanother scene in the play .The SoathErn Whig politi cans will first staregiand thot look blank, then- sigh, then wriggle, then cut a double shuffle and finally a summerset, and.conie down anti-Texas upon the hub. Look out for this. The-Berriens and all such; who have: deserted all their formeropinions to follow. Mr. Clay on the tarifi, will scruple as little to-follow him wherever he leads, so long as they believe the-course ends in the possession of power. It remains to he -seen, if the people will be equally tracta ble-and-we should not be surprised if they were... We have seen them desert their friends and go over to their enemies before now-but it would indeed seem that the question of Texas is too manifestly a great urgent and vital question, to allow any fear how the Southern people will treat it. The best authorities assure us in a way to leave scarce a doubt, that if Texas is rejected now, it is lost to us entirely,-that the im mediate consequence will be a British Al. liance-with conditions and consequences such as will impair the-safety of the Sonth era States and make Texas the fruitful source of future disturbance and mischief. The Senate will act with this knowledge before them, and if they sacrifice Texas, it will be for President-making, and nothing else. They will leave repentance for a time when it will be too late. We shall not touch Mr. Clay's argument to day there is precious little of it, but what there is we will notice to-morrow. We are thank ful at- least for knowing where Mr. Clay is, however much regret and mortification we rnay feel at seeing him following in the train of New England fanaticism. Important.-The New York Tribune says : "We have private information, from- a source which we cannot discredit, that President Tyler has ordered a de tachment of U. S. Troops to march from St. Louis to the Sobine, preparatory to op erations in Texas. It is believed that Mexico is about to invade Texas, and this movement is intended as a counterpoise. -Chas. Patriot. Departure of the Mexican Mimster from Wa'higton.-We learn from an authen tic source (says the Baltimore American) that the Mexican Minister, Gen. Almonte, arrived in this city on Wednesday evening from Washington, and left for New York yesterday, where he will await the final action of the United States Senate on the Texas treaty now before that body. It is understood that his own course will be governed by the action of the Senate. Robbing the Clergy.-The Philadelphia North American says: -Four clergymen, of the' Convention now in .ession at the First Baptist Church, Second street and Lagrange Plcer sitting together in the second row of seats from the pulpit, had their pockets picked by some dexteroos thief on Wednesday afternoon. One of them, the Rev. Mr. Colgate, Treasuer of the American Foreign Bible Society, was robbed of $125, funds of the Society. Another the Rev. M. Mathias, lost a sum of money, and a number of valuable pa. per. Doning Out.-We copy the subjoin. ed from the A palachicola Commercial Ad vertiser. MA RA N NA, A pril 2d, 1844. "We are literallay drowned out. The rain commencing on Wednesday last, con tinued almost without cessation for forty eight hours, and has seriously injured many of our planters.

Hi. hands fled in haste from the rain on Wed nesday evening, leaving ploughs and gear in the field. On Saturday morning they were ordered to continue ploughing, and when the gentleman alluded in, some hall hour after, visited his field, his astonish men was great to find one of his- hand. swimming his horse in a large pond made by the rain while the rest stood upon the bank giving directions. Upon ingquiring why they were not at work, he received for reply (fronm the swimmer,) "Wy breas you, massa, l'se lookin' for do plow I led here bj dis big gum."

John Trapp, Mr. Hinaut ADAats, of this District, to Miss LYDIA HoboatA GILL,ofLitleton, New Hamp shire. OBITUIARY. -Departed this life on the 17th of April, Mrs. SARAN MARTIx, widow of the late Wm.Mar tin. Mrs. Martin was born the22d of Decemu ber 1759, being in the eighty-fifth year of her age. She has left no children behind to mourn her loss, but an adopted son and a large nnm her of relatives.- The cord that has been cut by the cold band ofdeath, was one that was only strong enough to bind. her to the. earth, and that affection whichglows in the bosom of those left behind is not extinenished, but seems to get stronger; and wbile tYey moriiher.ab sence here, they rejoice to think the-day is not. far distant, when they will meet her whom they here so fondly loved; True it is, our loss is her eternal gain. And as we have to know the tree by the fruit, so we feel confident that her departed spirit is now shonting the praises of God, in that hayen of repose at God's right hand, when the wicked cease from troubling, and the.weary are at rest Mrs. Martin was highly esteemed by all who knew her; her private life and public walk, was that thai should ever characterize the children of God. She was one of those of whom it is said, many are the afflictions of the tighteous, but the Lord delivers out of them all. She was- a member of the Baptist Church of Christ at Dry Creek,. for the last forty years, except some four -or five years, at which time she was a member of the Rocky Creek Church. The last two years of her life was a trying time-with her. - Soie three or four months before her death, she was heard to express some unwillingness to die, stating, that before that 'time she always felt willing to go; but having labored under the afflicting hand of Providence for nearly two years, became somewhat like Thomas, having doubts and fears; bnt He, who has said, I will be with you in six troubles, and not forsake you In the seventh, was pleased to verify that piomisein the end, and give her grace to cheer her sinkinglapiritsmnthe trying hour. and while her poor body was contending writh the King of Terrors, Jcsus' soft hand was there to sup port and comfort her. So having fought a good fight, and having kept the faith, she has now finished her course. Hence, Jesus says, bles sed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth: yea saith the Spirit, that they may test fronm their labors and their works do -fol low them. 4t'The friends of BENJAMIN Y.
