message- seems not correctly to apprehend the newspapers and other real historians of those times state but one primary motive for that the desire to re-establish slavery in that territory the dt-vjue institution' of Slavery which had a short time previous been abolished throughout the Mexican Stales We extract the following record from the Worcester Palladium of June 8 1836 lit which paper it appeared as Editorial about the time the news reached here of the battle of Saq Jacinto: The Government o( the Mexican Republic has prohibited slavery willmi its provinces 'I exas which lies contiguous to the South Western borders of the United Stales has been settled mainly by emigrants from this country who have gone from our Southern States to the njore fertile ami of that province and desirous to cultivate it by the labor of slaves they look slaves with them as indented apprentices Subsequently they formed a constitution legalizing slmerj and presented it to the constituted authorities of the Republic by whom it was rejected for this among other reasons lhal it established lit Texas an institution hich i he General Governmeut of Mexico lud prohibited throughout its dominions This rejection was followed by the war which has terminated in the capture of Santa Anna The Texan war therefore has been a contest for the introduction of slaver into that country and for that reason as our columns hear ample te-timoni we have felt but little sympathy in the struggle and have manifested no extravagance ol joy at the success vv Inch has crow tied the Texan arms To any accusation ol apathy we have a ready ail CONGRESS Fridat Dec The Senate wn not in teuton A large of Prirale B1II1 which were left upon the calendar at the last session of Congress were considered and
