THE BOUNDARIES OF TEXAS.
Ix the Senate debate of Wednesday, Gen.
Houston, of Texas, made the following remarks,
which, with the exception of one illnatured
fling at a Southern Senator, are highspirited,
finely expressed, and indicate truly, as
we believe, the tenijier of his State. All the
information we have, confirms what we have
before published, that Toxhr will neither be bullied
nor bought out of her territory.
Mr. Houston. Mr. President, I have entertained
great anxiety for the progress of the business
of the Senate, and it is therefore with
' great reluctance that I intrude myself in this
' discussion; but some remarks have fallen from
aa honorable gentleman this morning, respecting
Texas, which, as a co-representative of
that Stale, 1 cauuot permit to pass without noVf

to au indignity.
The honorable Senator from New York,
(Mr." Seward) has thought proper to give an
opinion upon the title of Texas to the boundary
which she claims, and wo have been asked to
dhow the authority by which that boundary has
been claimed. I will not enter into the discussion
of that subject after the arguments which
have been submitted by gentlemen who have
participated in this debate, amongst whom is
tny very able colleague, who has left nothing
ma ?n csoit IF hp hns fstilpd to convince the
Senator from New York, I certainly do not expect
to succeed in convincing him that the title
of Texas extends beyond the Sabine. Yet,
sir, the Government of the United States must
be placed tc peculiar circumstances in relation
to the national honor, if Texas has not a claim
even beyond the Nueces. It was not objected
after die annexation of Texas to the United
States that Corpus Christi was then a territory
at Texas-; and it will be admitted that the war
grew out of the position taken hy the Mexicans
opposite Matamoros on the Rio Grande.
But, sir, Texas was annexed with her declared
boundaries of the Rio Grande from its mouth
to its source. No question then arose respecting
the boundary which we declared in 1830.
Texas then conceded to the United States the
right to settle the question of boundary with
Mexico, bat she did not concede the right, alter
tlie acquisition of ell the territory which the
United States acquired from Mexico, of adjusting
it between Mexico and the United States.
The United States was the agent of Texas, and
as such acquired limits beyond the boundary
which Texas claimed, and consequently secured
to her all she had assumed for herself. If,
however, this bill should pass, it will not be decisive
with Texas, as the subject will bo referred
to her Legislature to judge of the fitness of disposing
of this territory or retaining it, as she
may think proper. It imposes nty obligation
upon Texas, it infringes none of her rights, it
amam liortn nn snhmiwinn to the action of
Congress; but it recognizes all the (rights which
she originally possessed Gentleman say this
is an. indignity, aud indeed the honorable gentleman
from Florida was so kind as to remark
that it would be prostituting Texas if she submitted
to such degradation, 1 will, with great
deference to the honorable gentleman, assure
him that I think all Texas will return him
thanks, and in the name of Texas I return him
my thanks, for becoming the special guardian
of her purity and her honor; and 1 hope it will
suffer no clanger from his friendly interposition,

licitude that would have been favorable to Texu?
at one period, when she was surrounded by
temptations and difficulties, and when she was
wooed on all sides, and was in a situation to
yield to solicitations. The honorable gentleman
then steps forward and exhorts her to maintain
h*r purity, and also to maintain her standard
unsullied by prostitution. Sir, Texas has
never hrcu prostituted. If she were incapable
of vi idi rating bar rights here, through her represent
tives, the colleetjye wisdom of Texas, in
her deliberative assemblies, will baye the progo. 1
sition submitted to them; and Texas, through
her agents, can then say whether it is conformable
to her wish that she should relinquish her
right to this territory, or whether slia will main, i
taiti it It will be a matter of discretion with 1
her, and I tryst she wjJJ not stoop so low as to
humi'iate or degrade herself to a state of prostitution.
Texas is surrounded on the one hand
by sympathy and on the other by menace and
reproach. Honorable gentlemen have threatened
her with expulsion from her territory which
she claims, and which none other has ever
claimed. Sir, it is said that Texas has asserted
her light to that territory or has preferred a
claim to it She has never preferred a claim
to it In the face of eight millions of people
she has asserted her right She has no claim to
advance. Her light has been asserted from
the very beginning of the independence of Texas.
The Executive of the United States and
the nominal delegate from New Mexico are, I
believe, the most ostensible personages that
have alleged that Texas has set up a claim to
this territory. An adverse claim to the right
of Texas has been set up, but Texas has set up
no claim adverse to any other. She has asserted
no claim which 6he did not contend for
through years of revolution. If Mexico, at any
neriod in the Texan revolutionary conflict, had
( offered,
it" Texas would relinquish her title to
the country beyond the Nueces, to recognise
her sovercigntyand independence-, Texas would
have spurned it; every man within her borders
that had a heart would have bit the dust in defence
of that territory. And now it is said that
she has set up a claim. Trace her history
down to annexation, and that right remains unchanged
and undisputed by Mexico. Her coutest
was for the Sabine boundary and never for
the Nueces; but she subsequently ceded the
right of Texas to all the territory East of the

New Jersey, the other dnv, apjieared to think
that the Central Government ? yes, sir, the Central
Government, which means. I suppose, the
Government at Washington ? bad power and
right, and of right ought to expel Texas from
her territory, if she were in peaceable possession
of what is called New Mexico. He appeared
to think that the troops of the United
States should expel them under the direction of
the Federal, or as he styled it, the Central Government.
That is an ungracious word to Texas
ears.
Mr. Davton. Will the Texan representative
permit ui?* to remind him that he is entirely mistaken
? I do not say that if Texas were l ight
fully in possession of .Now Mexico, the Central
(loverinnent should expel her from her Territory.
But I said that, if Texas went there with
a view to take possession of that territory hv
force, which I hold to be the territory of the
United States, they would find the UuitedStates
in their way and ready to repel them from that
forcible possession,if they attempted to make it.
Mr. Houston. Texas, so far as 1 am acquainted
with her history has never threatened
violence to the officers of the United States, nor
has she threatened to take the territory by force,
ihe sent her commissioner, a single individual,
unguarded?not a corporal's guard with him ?and
the oeoule of New Mexico have acquiesced
in the authority of Texas, conveyed by that
single individual. But will the honorable gentleman
say that his language conveyed no menace,
no vaunting, no threat to Texas ? Sir,
we were told that if we attempted to hike possession
of our borders, and to fill what had been
our claim from our inception as a nation, WP
should hud a lion in our path. But we haveinet
no lion; we have inet no adversary hunting
without our borders. We have not been a warlike
people, but we have resisted aggression and
repelled injury, when it was attempted to be
? 1 * IT I .
euiorceu upon us. ?t o nave no sworuio sinae
at our assailants. The Constitution, I presume,
has uo clause to allow the United States to
strike tlieir swords at a people in the possession
of their rights, Our shield is justice, to repel
aggression, and we will be carried from our
fields upon that shield before we w ill surrender
one constitutional right* It is our cegis, and
we will have it to the inch.
A Central Government, indeed! The honorable
Seuxtor here speaking of a Central Governinent!
A Central Government for what 1?
To coerce Texas to submit to aggression. To
tell Texas that she must surrender her rights
before adjudication ! To tell her that she must
surrender rights for which the United States as
her guardiau went to war, after she herself had
merged her powers of resistance to a foreign
Government in the United Suites! Because
she occupies that territory in a peaceable manner,
is she to be threatened by the myrmidons
of power ? i tell them that they have a lesson
to learn from Texas. She never goes beyond
her borders. She resists no constitutional requirement,
and will submit to no aggression
from any power under Heaven. She will have
the rights to which she is entitled, or the wrong
qoer must soon near tncir requiem.
I would say to gentlemen, then, with all deference
aud good feeling, that when they wish
to indulge in tropes, and figures, and dashing
metaphors, they will keep "lions" and " Central
Governments" out of the path, I do not
like to encounter them, "A lion!" I am no
Samson, (Laughter,) \ "Central Government!"
I have heeu accustomed to resistance
to Central Governments, Texas keeps her
warriors at home to defend her women and
cmiureii against. uie savages, one senus none
of her warriors liere; hut let a Central Govern
ment lay a rude hand upon her banner, and
that star will never bo eclipsed, though gentlemen
by treading on stars here, may not seem
to think much of it, Our banner douts on the
wind, and I would lot gentlemen remember that
from the darkest clouds of revolution, it has led
Us to association with this Union, which we are
ready to contribute the lust drop of our blood to
maintain?faithful to the Union, faithful to the
Constitution, and faithful to Texas}.
Any difficulty between two parties can bo
readily adjusted, if one of them can he prevailed
upon to surrender every thing worth contending
for!
i THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PATROL.
Through the kindness of A. Herbemont, Esq.
j Clerk of Appeal, we are enabled to lay before
! our readers, the following opinion of our Law
Court of Appeals, on a matter of general interest
and great importance. It may be relied on,
of course, as a correct exposition of the law ;
while the spirit which it manifests is equally
creditable to that law, and to those who have
expounded it?Eds. Telegraph.

Opinion,?The defendants are convicted
under the Act of 1841, which punishes, as for a
i misdemeanor, any person who shall "unlawful!
ly whip or beat any slave, (not under his or her
j charge) without sufficient provocation, by word
| or act"
The defence was rested upon their rights as

, were engaged in dispersing an uulawful afesemj
bly of slaves; for the notion is preposterous that
: the slaves whipped were "under the charge" of
the patrol who were punishing them in the sense
of the Act
The slaves who were whipped were on the
premises of a citizen, himself a slave-owner,
by his consent, and with tickets from their master.
The occasion was a perfectly innocent
one, even meritorious; for Hunter's negro woman
had obtained his permission to call in assistance
towards the construction of a quilt for
her bed, or some bed; and it is to be hoped
?> r* Sit fltrt Cf nfn tirrvtiM I I <1 t?/l /loniik/1

sucli an indulgence, when he had no motive to
suspect that it was contrived to cover up some
evil design. How many of us have permitted
to our slaves the enjoyment of a wedding party
and ceremony, in imitation of the custom of
the higher class, and even contributed, liberally,
to the good cheer of the occasion ? It is surely
no novelty among slave owners, that, by the
consent of all parties, one slave should obtain
the assistance of his neighbor to gather his little
crop, even though it be on a Saturday night,
or to erect or improve his cabin. It would be
painful to find that the law forbids masters to
permit, or to encourage the slave in honoring
the humble virtues that may be consistent with
his condition, whether the same may take the
direction of social relations and intercourse
among themselves, or the advancement of
household comforts. The true spirit of our law
does not aim at such an end, where the mode
of attaining it presents no conflic t with the interests,
the peace and security of the public.
These, undoubtedly, must be regarded at all
hazards ; and no police regulations, subserving
that high policy, can be justly branded as cruel
or tyrannical, To ascertain whether the slaves
punished by the defendants were caught in the
violation of any law, wc must look to the statutes.
Our fundamental code, now time-honored, Is
that of 1740. It was enacted soon after a violent,
barbarous and. somewhat bloody servile outbreak
at Stono. Not a few of its provisions
took their hue from the exigency of the occasion,
and that it has failed somewhat jn the lapse
of time is only the usual inevitable consoquonoo
of all police systems, in the shape of positive
terms, which cannot have the quality to keep up
with the advai|<K*ii|(M|t of a community. An
attentive examination, however, of our slave
law will show, that there are few occasions
where a slave is supposed to need the interposition
of police dicipline, whether wielded by
the private or the public arm, when Ids errand
front home is known to his owner, and permit,
ted by him in writing. By the 7th section,
Act 1740, a magistrate was authorized, personally
or by warrant to another, to call the posse
and disperse "any assembly ormeeting of slaves
which may disturb the peace or endanger the
safety of His Majesty's subjects." By the
43rd section, any person was authorized to apprehend
and chastise, within a limit, a body of
"men slaves exceeding seven in number" who
were seen "to travel together in any high road."
How often this section would work mischievously,
at this da}*, if indiscreetly enforced according
to the letter, will occur to everybody.

posed to be the only one that can have the
semblance of application to this case. It is
too long to be incorporated bere. Hut the object
of the provision was declared to be the safety
of the Province. It would seem simply ridiculous
to suppose that the safety of the State
or any of its inhabitants, was implicated by
such an assemblage as that at Hu.ntkks's composed
of a few males; more females; with
tickets from the owners ; in the kitchen of a
citizen; by bis consent; not impudent nor disorderly,
by the adnrssion of the defendants; assembled
at a quilting; and no evidence of a carousal
by eating or drinking. The said section

the "wanderings" and meetings oi" negroes
and other slaves?"more especially 011
Saturday nights, Sunday's and other holidays,"
aid the using and carrying certain dangerous weapons,
drums, horn* and other loud instruments?and
to prevent the meeting of negroes
under such circumstances, anybody was authorized
to arrest and disarm one out of his master's
premises, "not being on lawful business and
with a letter Iroin his master, or a ticket or not
having a white person with him." This was all
- t- ? - * - t L I
qcsignca as precaution ; to preui sucn wanderings
and meetings before denounced. Then
follows the material provisions, to wit ^ "And
what soever master, owner, or overseer shall
permit or suffer his or their negro or other slave
or sj/ives, to beat drums, blow horns, or use any
other loud instruments ; or whosoever shall
fer ?nd countenance any public jneeting or
feasting of strange negroes or slaves in their
plantations shall forfe't,'- :
Wo cannot pereeiV'e (fiat the assembly of
negroes ai before described, with whicfy these
defendants interfered, can be made to answer
the terms of the foregoing quotation, according
to their usual import, and still loss when taken
in connection with what was recited as the
danger to be guarded against?the mischief to
be remedied. We do not mean to affirm (what
seems to have been the Circuit Judge's impression)
that if it had been such an assembly the
patrol may not have dispersed it, notwithstanding
the liability to a pecuniary penalty ot him
who suffered and encouraged it Nor do we
mean to trench, in any degree, upon the vigorous
administration by the patrol of the important
police power entrusted to them, within the
orbit prescribed for their action. Let them exercise,
with judicious freedom, the power to
disperse unlawful assemblies, as they are expressly
empowered to do by the 13th section of
the patrol law, in relation to slaves, free ne
grocs, muluttoes, and mnstizoos; such/for example,
as are found in disorderly houses; such
as are described in the 11th "section of that
Act; but a judicious freedom of administration
in our police law for the lower order must always
have respect to the confidence which the
law reposes in the discretion of the master, the
presence of the proprietor, his loyalty to the
sympathies and the policy that involve our common
interests, peace and safety. Let the patrol
always act in the spirit that should guide the
discreet, sedate, intelligent, and humane owner
of slaves, and they will find the judicial arm of
the government nerved to sustain them?if indeed
it could be presumed that in such case
the}' would ever need it. Thus guided, they
may often find occasions?no doubt they will?
to overlook a harmless violation, a venial transgression,
of the strict letter?to construe in a
spirit of mildness?to concede something to
the sacredness of domicil, the quiet of a family
at the midnight hour?to recognize, what is
eminently the negro's quality, the love of social
intercourse, with no object beyond it, and no
time to indulge it but the night?to distinguish
between the premises of the quiet, orderly citizen,
and of liiin whose very business of life is
to corrupt the slave in his morals and his allegiance.
This very case may illustrate what is
I meant: sunnosinir that this assembly was an
unlawful one, could it not have been dispersed
just as readily and without flogging as with it ?
Why therefore chastise negroes who seem to
have had no idea that thev were doing wrong;
who were at the place where they were found
by the consent and written license of their master
; when the proprietor came out to add his
own authority and consent; when, as we presume,
he was not a suspicious person or engaged
in suspicious traffic ?
We are mindful, however, that the statute of
1740. ju the 53d section, enjoins, that every
portion of it "shall be construed most largely
and beneficially for the promoting and carrying
into execution this Act and for the encouragement
and justification of all persons to be
employed in the execution thereof;"?and since
we are persuaded that it is probable these defendants
had no deliberate purpose to commit
an outrage upon the rights of others, we arc
gratified to learn from the Judge who preside
on Circuit that it has not been his design to inflict
any exemplary punishment.
As already intimated, jt would be agreeable
to us to be always a! la to sustain so useful and
important a body as the patrol; but perceiving
no error in the conviction of the present parties
we are constrained to order, that their motion
he dismissed.

to him a sanctuary to which his heart may always
turn from the calamities of life. Make
it a repose from his cares, a shelter from the
world, a home not for his person only, but for
his heart He may meet with pleasures in
other houses, but let him find pleasures in his
own. Should he be dejected, sootho him;
should he be silent and thoughtful do not heedlessly
disturb him; should he be studious, favor
him with all practicable facilities; or should he
be peevish make allowances for human nature,
and by \ our sweetness, gentleness and good
humor, urge him continually to talk, though he
may not say it, " this woman is a comfort to
me?I cannot but love her and requite such
gentleness and affections as they deserve,"
2. Invariably adorn yourself with delicacy
and modest}'. These, to a man of refinement,
are attractions the most highly captivating;
while their opposite never fails to inspire disgust.
Let the delicacy and modesty of the
bride be always, jn a great degree supported
by the wife. *
3. If it be possible, let your husband suppose
you think him a good husband, and it will be
a strong stiinulous of his being so. As long
as he thinks he possesses the reputation he will
take some pains to deserve it; but when he has
once lost the name, he will he apt to abandon

taste. The opinion of others on this
subject is of but very little consequence if he
approve.

manner, is so small as to render it unnecessary
