Martinsburg Gazette

We extracted some months ago, both from Southern and Northern papers, laudatory and inviting accounts of Texas, as a region offering the strongest inducement to the enterprising emigrant. One of these was the almost political independence of the Province on the federal government at Mexico, and consequent exemption, not only from the devastations of the incessant civil wars of the Mexican Union, but also from the evils of the fluctuating policy produced by them. We find, however, in the New Orleans Bulletin, an address originally published in the form of a circular, to the inhabitants of Texas, from which it would seem that they are involved in the violent party contests of the republic. The address states that the party now in power at Mexico, the same "which prohibited the emigration of North American colonists in 1830, has openly declared against all foreigners, and in secret in favor of Spanish despotism." The Address goes on to say that the ministerial journals of the general government accuse the State authorities of Texas of having given that state away to strangers, and declare that they will soon sweep the whole out of the country. The inhabitants are called upon to sustain with firmness and energy the local government. From this it seems that the settlers in that region will have something else to do besides collecting the milk and honey with which it is represented to overflow.—Balt. Am.
