The. National is already. in the -8leld and calls on the nation to disregard _.!,the entente.cordiale 'of M. Guizot, and to think only of the great advantages which a -good'understanding with the American Union must create for.France. -It says that the annexation of Texas to the States is:a. ew, political combination, weakenig the British Government and its aristocracy .in the most sensitive point; that our rele tions with the Cabinet of Washington'can not be friendly ; that our Canadian posses= ions-are in danger; and that the Euro -rpean powers, and particularly France, wbho have tolerated-the insulting yoke of - -British supremacy, should be prepared to take advantage of' the chances which this new combination must a long afford, POLITICAL. - MEXICO AND TEXAS.

When the-exertions which England is making to secure markets for her goods in Africa, in Asia, and in all parts of the world is con sidered, it will be understood of bow much more importancee it is to her, that Texas should continue - under her influence, and of course a free trade nation. By making. her a nation of= factors instead 'of land owners and agriculturists, she virtually destroys slavery by-rendering slave labor valueless;-for it is-only in rural districts .that slaves. are. heneficial as a property consideration ; and thus attains a double purpose-the destruction of the Southern planting interest, by subverting the insti tution of slavery in those States, and the acquisition-ofa vast market, by smuggling in -Mexico and the United States, through the pots of Texas. The inroad thus made the Mexican revenue is almost as furmidable to the prosperity of that coun try, as the territorial -acquisitions of the English on all her borders in truth, that unhappy country is entwined in the meshes of British policy, which like the spider,'first securely fastens its victim, and then leisurely sucks the.. life blood fro-n it.

They will, therefore,' (says the despatches.) -cheerfully agree to immediate annexation for a reasonable consideration, to be hereafter adjusted.

Owing to his ignorance of our man ners and language, he lost his baggage. and returned back from Petersburg in pur suit of it. le is hourly expected, when the Mexican Minister a.id sur Secretary of State, will probably proceed to open negotiations for the settlement of the ques tion with Mexico, and thus disarm Mr. Benton and other opposers of the Treaty, who will now cut rather a ridiculous figure after their frantic and miscrablo opposition to Tyler and Texas. From the Charleston Mercury.. The whole pack oh fudge-mongers, fol low ing at the heels of Mir. Bentou and the' Globe, have all at once opened in granid donkey chorus, on South Carolina disu nion. The Richmond Whig, the Intelli gencer, the New York Courier and the rest of them, bless and bug the discovery of the Globe that the annexation of Texas was got up by Mr. Calhoun ('a ho did not get it up) fob' the purpose of disaolving the I Union (by admitting new States into it.,. The Spectator replies to these stupiditiesi ns follows: The National )ntelligencer and Disunion., The National intelligenc~er inserts in its a columns extracts fiotm the Globe,.showing that a portion of the Democratic party in the South, for insisting on the ;nnexat ion of Texas to the Union, as a condition for its cootinuance, are hostile to the Union. If such a position proves hostility to the Union, the latelligeucer anid its party are he Jast who ought to rebuke it, If w~e recollect aright, the very first threat of a1 dismemberment of the-'Union, on account -of Texas, appeared in the Intelligencer. Some thirty members of Congress at the closeof the last Congress, put forth,'in all form, a buolletin to the people of the United States, expressing the opinion that there was a:design to annex Texas to the Union; and-declaring that, should> such an eventi occr,the.

HERMITAGE. June .15 1844. Gentlemen-1 have the honor to acknow ledge the receipt-of your letter of the 10th inst., inviting me to the mass meeting pro posed at Murfreesborough, on'Wednesday next, for the purpose of confirming the nominations recently made, at-Baiitnore by the delegates of the Democratic party. Although the state of my health will not allow-ineto he one ofyour number, on that occasion, I enter, with all my heart, into the objects of the meeting. Never, gentlemen, had we more reason to falicitate ourselves upon the auspicious prospect-which no.w-summnonsitthe old re puhlicansto the field. Instead -of disorder and confusion produced by dii'erences of opinion respecting. the relative claims. of the distioguibsed individualr who were b llotted for at the Convention, what do we witness? Unanimity without - a paral lel. Rising above all selfish feeling, those individuals, -themselves, nobly -withdrew their names from the list of candidates, and united in the nomination of Messrs. Polk and Dallas; two gentlernen thorough ly known :o them, as having -the highest qualifications of chiracter hadtilent, and possessing. in an eminent degree, the con idence of: their fellow citizens. A- party that can give such a practical proof of its capacity to harmonize, and of its ability, in the pursuit of principle. to burry all diff'erenccs about men, cannot fail uf success. " I agree with you. gentlemen. in charac terizing, asyou have dne. the annexation of Texas to our Union, and the-occupation >f Oregon, as American que'tions. - Our Union is not safe as long as Great Britain :an be oncouraged in her designs upon these territories. Let us, therefore rally with patriotic and national zeal under tho lags upheld by Polk and Dallas. If they ire successful. Texas and Oregon will be )urs-; if they are defeated, British irdlu moce, under the pretence- of abolishing ,lavery, will be intetfering with our righis, itid it will never cm ase, so long as our ;horiomus system of government is a sticces 'l proof that mtonarchy is not uecessary to iecure-thbe ha ppiniess tof man.

The Illinois State Register happily il ustrates in the followiig jeu de'esprit. the breofithat ratmarkabmly conclusive dog nas, that High Duties make Low Prices. ..some weeks since Mr. McContiell was n Mr. Douglass's Contgressionaal District naking~ Demtocratic speeches, where lie .iet a stauuch Democratic, friend of his. yhto acconted him very familiarly, and said, ftietnd Mack, I hear you are going to itake a De~mocratic speech here to day ibpuit the Tarilf. Well, says M1r. M-, I'll think of it ; have fou any objeci ions friend B.b ? Welil I have smid his frieiuml, I am afraid you are going to iteirfere with miy inter ist, with your confounded dis.enssion about he tariff, end about high a id low prices, If that is so, Bob, I am very sorry, says Mlr. M., pray how can that happen 7 Well now Mack, I will tell you in a yrivate way like, but I donu't want you to xe blabbing it all around the country, antd nake a blowing horn of yourself about it, and get me in a deal mof-a scrape, perhaps oto the newspapers besides. Oh of course says Mr. 31.. I will not whisper it to any one; but how is it. Well, says Bob, now you know I am a niller and keep a grist will and grind for tll. Yes, I know, and a first rate mill it is too, and all your neighbors say that you ire an anomaly in nature; a first rate ac :ommodating honest miller that never takes too much toll. Oh yes I understand you, I understand your grist of soft corn ; hut that is neither bre nor there, let me tell you how it was. Some weeks ago, one of -my whig ens omers came to -mill andI brought withI ihn a copy of Mr. -Even's speech upont he tariff', and while his -grist was grinding ae sat dowvn and read it over to me and rommenced long and learnedly- upon that part of the speech that proves that a high protective tariff' makes goods lower, and ths higher the duties the lower price to the :onsumrer. I listened- at tentively-and never dispu ed a word he said, andl when he was about o satn home, I asked him to lend mtthe speech for I was greatly taken with it, and wanted to read it to the people as they ame to the mill. My Whig friend- readily complied, thinking-tchat -he had made such a valua ble convert to the -high whig tariffprotec ion cause. - -- - - -As'isoon as he left I went to work-and madeame a new. toll dish, and I made it shout two inches higher -than the old one. and immediately~ commenced taking toll wit my-new dish. adte rtzt Os rcieOd :t i al irh u aw an a1r a vtnddm wh" jrwig qtaghb6rs:K ll ifft~ ;iyd'cf zens to.:S mje asa an among sey eatt r " 9rd: fiend that loaned ne- tl1e apeecI si EA several',othtjs ca tne togetbei o# get grind ing. :nd at. shook me cbrct by the hanil andwelcomed me-o the houelidh of-WMhiggery.- - Ai soon as their greetings are over.: took-.my nortoll disf- angti tfieir pre ehe-Ireaped .it-bounding fulliout of eal of their grists. Hallo Bob, says one o' .them you bav got ainew-toll dish, han 'tyou Oh yes, says I, the old one got alitth shackling like, anda little wore"ofl'at-th< top, and rather too small for the interesl of my customers, and 1 tihought it.was bes to have a new one. Yes, bj gracious, says another of them do you sea that, Williams, if aint abaut t third bigger than the old one I will be she sure enough, says the. other." Whv,.Bob what the mischief does that nean, how is that for the interest of your customers a, you say.? -. Oh,-says I, very plain. don't you.under stand it ? the higher the ioll the lower.th 'price of grinding and the more weal yoi get. - Shaw, now -Bob, says one of them how can pot: make that out ? Now non of your-humbugging us with your big tol dish in these hard Tyler times. -. Well now, says-I, it is all:as plain at day;. come and set down here, let me ex -plain it to you; and I straightway took ot Evan's speech and read it to them, and explained how the high tariff' worked, and although it appeared to 'increase the cost of the goods to the importer and reta iling merchant, yet the, higher he paid for them the lower he could afford to sell them to his customers, the farmers and .lahnrea who consumed them; and now said I, the same universal law of trade-and cause and effect applies tith equal force to the miller and his customers.. He does -he grinding and takes the toll,"you- are his customers and consume the-meal, and toll 4ieing 'the price and cost- of grinding,-it follows as a necessary consequence, that. the higher the it1l the lower the price of grinding,aind lthough my new toll dish -appears- larger, ye! you get more meal by.it ; and al this I proved very clear by Mr. Evans speech and the arguinent of my -whig nei-ghbor, who gave me the documet;nt and-1 tell you friend Mack, it was a knock . down argu - ment to these boys, they looked at each other like so many bewildered pigs in a Newfoundland fog, each expecting the other to answer my speech, hut it was tit go, it was a good whig nrgoment. and proven by accredited whig documents, and they immediately gave it up and admitted, that.although they did not exactly under stand it at first, yet it is now clear and as self-evident as Mr. Evans' argumaent,show ing the higher the tariff, which stands in the place of the meal. From that time I have been using my new toll dish pretty freely. and-manufac turing meal and flour has got to be a first rate business, adil what ie better my whig cstomers. althattgh their grists of meal don't last quite as long as they used to, are well satisfied ; and now Black I don't want you to be blowing away here that Evans'speech is not - true. and that this Whig doctrineabout the high tariff' making goods lower is all wrong, for if you do my pontd is out, and I am ruined, with my new toil di.,h operation. Bu, says Mr. McConnell. pray Bob, how do you get aloug with your demto cratic customers, surelv you cana't hum lhug them with your Evans' speech and whig arguments ? Oh shaw, nop Bob, I use the old roll dishi for themn andu all goes off' well, but now don't you tell any hbody what I cold you. From thse Chaarleston Courier. T O T. I readily comply with your wish, al though it is really too had for ean humble itdividual like myself. in this sequestered village, to have the abn'!ition prinats ahtu sing him for 'dekineing slaverys out of 1/he Bible ;" (See the Christian Rjflector's ac coatnt of the Pihilaedelpthtia meaeting,) aand his friend in te Courier enqgnirina iaou soamo ruamor,-that ate had ''procluaimnd slu very a moral evi/." viz: e-mademnri by the Bible! A mtoeral evtil is a ism, atndl my be ing a maaster is sutlehient evidence of my opinion on that point, if nay opinion be of any consequence. You maty remembet alsuthat the Charleston papers were good enongh to copy from the Watchman a letter I had occasion to write, three years tago, ota this subject, and the conavictiona or that letter are those I have ever cherished and exp1ressed. --The repor~t you speak of is therefore wholly a mistake ; butt I am not at all sur prisedlit such mnisappirehenasions. On this exciting topic the fanaticistm of the North will engender an opposite l'aniaticism -at the South, a spirit of bitterness and revenge, requitting ranteour with rancour, and in my poor judgmenet, exhibiting any thing but the calm and dignified firmness wAith which the great issue now tmade- up in this .land is to be truthfully and triumphantly met. That slavery, like poverty, is a calami ty, who will deny ? Anad irit were a news question about reducing to bondage a free people, who would not oppnse it ? It is certain, too, that the introduction of Afri can slavery into the colonies was thte work of English anid Northern cupidity, in spite of the' wishes and protest attons of many~ of our forefathers, and I do sitncetnly re joice that all civilized nations have unitet in abhoritag and abolishing this detestible traffic. Upon these points, however, it is tanne cessary for me to wrt'e, nor is there, I presume any diversity of sentirnen amongst us. Th le abolition of slavery as a very difl'erent thing from its introduction, anad touchiag that the doctrines of the agi ta'ors have ever seemed to me, and been denounced lay me,-as both visionary anc wicked: Visionary-fear what can be done with ouramillions of negroes ? Is Massa chusetas willing that South Carolina shiould at once transport there her black popula tion ? .And -if carried there, what would be -their condition?

"The. Rev. Mr. Jeter. of Virginia, (whom your -informadt also misunderstood to call slavery-a moral evil) after much dispute obtained the floor. He seconded the views of the Rev. gentle: man from South Carolina.. He did not consider slavery a sin, and would meet any man with the Bible in lris hand upon the q'uestion. He thought the Bible sanc rioued it,. and as a proofofhis position re ferred to the 25th chapter of.

I have written more than I designed, antd e--rtainly tmore than was requisite, for mtisap~prehentsionis of this kind cannot, be long in correcting themselves. - The Ian gtuage used by Mr. .Jeter and myself, and reported in all the papers, [ suppose you will auree was exceedingly unequivocal. Ttae Abolitionists, who gladly catch at every conceession, comprehended it well evnought, as their newspapers show quite abundantly. Still, in a large assembly there may be misconceptionl of what ought to be very plain. A man may not hear distinctly, or his vocabulary may he some what aboriginal and chaotic ; or-in short, he may misconstrue what is said by a speaker; and I kiow any Southertn man will be glad to have his misconduct on this subjtet settled. If I consider slavery a tmoral evil. I would not otnly at once save myself frote., but at any hazard, and in the face of anuy opposition, I would preach against it in every pulpit I could enter. And when every pulpit was shut, I would -.as I fear God and love the souls of men --I would preach against it in the street, and in the market place, and by the way side.
