Silas Wright recently made a speech at Skaneateles, of which the substance is given in the Columbian of that place. On the subject of Texas, he remarked—

'It might be expected, he said, that he would say something in reference to the new issue now before the country—the Annexation of Texas. He voted against the Treaty negotiated by Mr. Tyler—1st, because the assent of Mexico had not been obtained, without which it would be a violation of our national obligations; 2d, because the boundaries of Texas were not accurately defined by the Treaty, but embraced a large extent of territory belonging to Mexico: and 3d, because it was designed to extend and perpetuate Slavery. He would be true to our Constitutional obligations in respect to Slavery as it is, but to go farther was a very different thing. Still, in taking the ground he had, he did not oppose Annexation at a proper time and in a proper manner; and if Great Britain should attempt to take possession of Texas, he would forcibly resist her encroachments.'

We cannot see how a man who talks so sensibly as this can give his support to Polk and Dallas, who notoriously are in favor of what he is against, and which he shows to be so unjust and perfidious. Nor do we see how those who abuse Messrs. Barker, Bryant and Co. so roundly for their 'Secret Circular' can support Mr. Wright, when he goes with them, only farther.
