To a cer- tain etent this is true. Slavery was unques- tionably the first in the series • ot causes which led'to this war. It is self evident that without the annexation of Texas we should N never have become embroiled with Mexico; and that the protection of Slavery was the moiive with which the project of annexing Texas to this country was starred, has been proved over and ever again from the' official correspondence of the administration which undertook it. Bint saying nothing of the un- wise covetousness of the nation'at large for the acquisition of' Texas, without which an- nexation could not have begun to have been effected,, and which is therefore, atleast equal- y with slavery, to it' annexation,—it be .assigned as the cause I. : is .obvious' that although the war may-be an\ Ultimate consequence of Slavery project, at was a consequence not. wished or contemplated by--the getters up of that project,. The war was not begun and is hot waged for the purpose. Of extending Sla- very. The stout Opposition it has encounter- ed frum the ; very first from Mr. Calhoun and other ultra advocates of Slavery who concoc- ted the annexation of Texas, o.qghtto be suf- ficient evidence of this to an observing mind. Let us be* seasonable. We-may damn the Slavery propagandists as much a s we like for having got us into a bad .scrape, but as for their having had a direct hand in bringing it about or \having objects for the purpose of ob- taining whichit is-carried on, there is ho ev- idence to support such a position. Mr. Hale if he intends tojasaume such a position doesnot make it out He only proves, that Slavery was at at the Bottom of the annexation, pro- ject, from which the rest has followed. This is no news. .. \With the exception of this Httle display of anxiety to propitiate the prejudices of those of whom Ire is the candidate for the Presiden- cy, the speech is an admirable one, and puts those, whq advocate giving the President \ more rope \ into a close corner. • , JPxam the Auburn Advertiser.

O. Delta, Dec. 9. , The British Empire in india The- Bombay Times gives us some usful facts concerning Irldia. The British, of Brit, ish and East India Company's armies in India numbered on the 1st of January} 1847, consid- erably above 300,000 men; and the yearly amount of military charges for their snpport is stated to exceed $70,000,000 a ye^ar, or more than half the Whole public revenue.' The public debt of India (which is over and above the British national debt, Canada debt, &e) is four hundred millions, or dollars one-fourth of which has been incurred within the last ten years. The gross annual public income of India is estimated at $125,000,000 and. the ex- penditure, at 1135,000,000, Before the, Afghan war, the Biitish armies in India numbered 168,477, exclusive of about 25,600 troops fron) Britain—British regiments. There are thousands of European officers, and their ap- pointment is a source of effective patronage to men in power in England. In a few years, I10;000 men have been added to the East In- dia Company's army,' being as many as the whole Britishmilitary forces upheld elsewhere Seven hundred British officers have been ap- pointed tp native emigrants since 1887. • The Bombay Times considers that \the forces in India are courageous and well disciplined, bnt its facts do not indicate that the .India is well governed.,, It is asserted that the reasons why India does not supply England wjfh cot ton are the distance, the want, ol carriage and its expense, the want'of Toads for carts, and the-want of a great artery like a. railway, cotton to any distance. 1SEWTORK, Jan. 11—3 p.

Our recreant Senator, who has degraded himself and the State which he represents, had received a stern and a merited rebuke, and we shall see whether he will dare to disregard the instructions, both of the ballot box, and the Legislature. Not a single Whigvoted in the negative. To Whigs, the position assumed by these re- solutions, is not new, and its adoption, first by the People, and then by the'Legislature, is a glo- rious triumph of the principles upon which they fought the battle of 1B44. To abridge slavery, has ever been a fundamental article in the creed of Whigs, audit reflects hondr upon them, that their opponents, after having 'accomplished the extension Of Slavery by the annexation of Texas, havenl last been dragooned into an advocacy of the truth, and we most heartily congratulate Mr, Myers upon having taken the lead in this move- ment in the Legislature, and Judge Fine, upon the support he gave it In the Senate, and' we hope thehiSarnraanoWjWill compensate in some measure for their efforts in bringing about the consummation of, the Texas iniquity. If we are to retain our conquests from Mexieo^— if we are forced to-take a territorial indemnity, the princi pies upon which, as Whigs, we have always act- ed, and ever shallactj should prompt us to say, let not a dava breathe upon the coil, but let it FOBEVEB remain, as it now is, F R E E . We should be doing ourselves injustice, though'politically op- posed to the gentlemen named, did we' not ap- prove their course afld their vote on these resolu- tions. It is wormy of remark, that both Judge Fine, and Mr. Myers have arrayed themselves in oppo sition to the national admmistration, the former upon the subject of River and Harbor improve\ meat, and the latter upon the free soil question. While upon this, subject, we regret that we cannot fully approve of the votes of Judge Fine, on the territory question. It will be' observed that, on the adoption; of Mr. Hall's resolutions, declaring tie'power of Cbngress,\lo impose any jttst conditions or restrictions in relation to the terms upon which additional territory shall be admitted info the Unipn,\ he'voted i? THE NEG- ATIVE. Upqn'MrrHau's' second resolution, which embodied the principle of the Wilmot Proviso, he voted in the affirmative. To us, the two votes are entirely inconsistent, and the rea- sons given by him, for tho : first vote, too falla- cious to have influenced a man of ordinary dis- ' cemment. The inference that if this resolution be true, Congress has power to extend Slavery, Is not correct. It has h e legal power,-to commit a legal wrong—while, tfCongreS? BaB no power to impose just terms of annexation or admission upon new territory, its-adoption ofthe Wilmot would be a nullity, a mere bauble to tickle the fancy, of no practical utility, and its late ap- proval by grave Senators and Assembly-men, has been a Legislative farce. The principle-em- bodied in Mr, Hall's first resolution, negatived by Judge Fine, is the one upon which the Wilmot Proviso depends for Its existence, and the ground upon which the, vote we complain og/was found* ed, If tenable, would strangle the child of the Senator's adoption; and we can but characterize his action as the height of ihsohshttency. aiovaof4hdu8tryand virtue. s-^3^#S^r- *j|0Hi Jom* A.
