Texas-Extra Session.
The recent movement of Santa Anna, threatening the invasion of Texas, must have been prompted from the other side of the water, and the well informed are now satisfied that Great Britain has determined to get the control, if not the actual possession, of the Texan Republic.
Under these circumstances, we see no course which the President of the United States can pursue, but to call an extra session of Congress, to lay before that body and the country the information which he possesses as to the designs of European powers, and the steps which have been taken, at their instigation, to carry fire and butchery into Texas. The President has hitherto done all that in him lay to prevent the crisis that is now approaching, by forming a treaty of annexation, and by deferring the matter to the wisdom of the people's representatives at their late session; but a new state of things has arisen. Santa Anna has induced the Mexican Congress to aid him with troops and money for the reconquest of Texas, and there is now no doubt of British, if not of French interference. The term of Mr Tyler's official duties is about to expire, and in no way can he so nobly close his arduous labors--in no way so commend himself to the respect and confidence of his countrymen, as to convene Congress and submit to them the facts which have come to his knowledge since the adjournment.
The question of annexation is, and must be, an important issue in the present Presidential contest; and the sooner the people of this country know who are their domestic and foreign enemies, the better.
We are not disposed here to view this subject in the narrow spirit in which mere politicians are too apt to consider public events, but we are looking to the glory and perpetuity of this Republic and the spread of free principles. We are not such partizans as to desire to postpone this matter, lest Mr Tyler may reap credit for his course. In the whole of Mr Tyler's action in reference to Texas, he appears to have been actuated by lofty patriotism; and whatever the Whig presses may say about Texas bonds, Mexican scrip, and other possible influences in others, no such arguments have swayed John Tyler; but he has, like Jackson, believed the annexation of Texas to be essential to our security as a Republic, and that no time should be lost in its acquisition.
The peculiar friends of Mr Tyler have been loud in their cries for "justice to John Tyler." Let them take the course above indicated, and the American people will render him all due justice. There are among the professed friends of Mr Tyler, rank enemies of the Democratic party; justice will be done to them too, but not on the same day, nor in the same way, that it will be rendered to him. All the justice they expect is to be continued in office by a party which they have uniformly opposed. All they deserve for such conduct, they will surely obtain.-- New York Standard.
