ANOTHER -farewell address
The treumi Wa»hingtnn, in imitation of the
tirat (Hvper'on 10 a satvr!) has issued a Fare
fU AJJtcss *° ‘be People of the 1'. States ! -
\Vc regret that We are pomp, lied to il for this
document until Monday. It h it faintly rt«. m
bics the Farewell Address of the iinmurt.il Fa
ther of hi* Country. True, like llut paper, it
enforces the value of the Union, and denounces
die formation of geographical parties as the most
probable means of its 'dissolution—Imt, after
wards, it is the veriest “cant of party,” in the
purest style of Jacksonism I It gives a passing
blow to Nullification—raps the Abolitionists
gently over the knuckles—gives tt« a dissertation
upon the powers of the state and federal govern
ments, designed doubtless'as a commentary upon
the Proclamation—opposes protective duties
and the distribution of the surplus revenue—le
vels its artillery against paper money—and
thunders in the usual Olympian vein against the
U. s. Bank, which it untruly assumes to be the
parentof this sputiouscurrency ! But we shall
publish the Address in our next—and our readers
e.tn judge then for themselves.

The following is Mr. Walker's resolution, n
dopted by the Senate on the 1st inst. :
“ /feaofretf, That the State of l'exas having
established and maintained an independent Uov
ertintnent. capable o( performing those duties,
foreign and domestic, which appertain to inde
pendent Governments, amt it appearing that
there is no longer anv reasonable prospect of the
successful prosecution of the War by Mexico a
gainstsaiJ State.it is expedient and prop w. and
in conformity with the laws of nations, and the
practice of this Government in the like cases.
«lwt the independent political existence of said

undistinguished by the passage ot a single g;n
erally beneficial law. 'I he most complimentar\

tout they have left undone than fur those which
they have done.

we rejoice to say, lost, by the failure of the II.
ot Representatives to act upon it.
The bill to reduce the duties on certain articles
of impoil, which also passed the Senate, is un
braced in the same category—and indeed, we
have never doubted, that it was intended so to
be by those who pressed iis passage with the
greatest (affected) zeal. The movement on thi«
question is a part of that machinery of deception
which unprincipled politicians are playing off
upon the hopes and fears of the people.
lhe Fortification Bill i« likewise lost, by the
continued disagreement of the two Mouses, up
to the moment of adjournment, in relation to tie
distribution cl mse, inserted by the Mouse of Rep
resentatives and stricken out by the Senate. We
are glad of it. ft not only prevents a large expen

BRITISH POLITICS.
Me hare read, with great interest, the speech
Ol Sir Robert Peel, the most distinguished Llril
ish statesman of the day, and the hope as well
as the champion ol the Tory party in that
kingdom, delivered a lew weeks since at Dias
80Wi (Scotland,) after los election as Lord Rce
tor ol i li e University of that ancient city.
M e may regard tins ingenious and eloquent
appeal to the popular feeling ot Gieat Britain,
m behalf of the hereditary institutions of the
D'l anchored iale, and this biller denunciation
ol the encroaching spirit of modern times, as the
(irst blow in the renewed “ War of Opinion,’’
which, abated for a season by the success of the
long and desperate struggle for reform in lire re
presentation ol the I louse of Commons, is now a
*out to he recommenced. The Reformers, far
from being satisfied with pa,t victories, are keen
for new triumphs over the House of Lord
and the K-tahlished Church — paving the way.
il these tune-honored appendages of their politi
ral system lie ovcitlirown, lor the establishment
ol democratic institutions, such as they exist in
this country. It is true, this consummation is
not avowed, by the Reformers, as the object of
their iflorls. but rather disclaimed. Yet, Sir
Robert Peel assumes, as an inevitable result, il
the House of Louis should he shorn ofanv p:|r
tion of its power and rendered more responsible
to public opinion than it now is. and if the con
nection between Church and iStale he di.-olv
cri, nml ministers of the g repel, instead of re
ecivii'g wages fixed by law, he thrown for sup
port upon the voluntary contributions of the
people, that to this complexion they must come
at last.-’
Sir Robert cypres e a hope tint the meas

to return from this Jljres-ioo to Sir Robert Peel
and Ins speech.
The Baronet deems it impossible that the
Church can lie supported, dl-m dated from the
State. He may liud an overwhelming confuta
lion of this a-sumption, and an ample vindicn
tion ul the principle of voluntary contribution,
in th'.* religious hinny of the Bait. I St it.*,— ■
churches and pastors, numerous enough to sun i
ply the wants of the country, existing in the !
long settled portions of the Union, and preced
ing rather than following the tide of emigrati m
*o that immense region which the enterprise of
our people is reclaiming from its primeval w ild
ness.
it M natural, however, that a llntUh states
in in, c11 i 1 r..tfd in the .-eh on I to which Sir Rob rt
Reel belong?, should cling to an usage sj vene
rable in age and around which clu'-ler so many
hallowed associations—and not less so that lie
adheres with equal tenacity to the principle ol
hereditary legislation, ami to the impression
that the overthrow of this principle will lie the
prelude to tiie abolition of the monarchy,
and the establishment of a democratic form uf
government. Against this event, which lie re
gards as an evil of most tearful magnitude.
Sir Robert solemnly warns the British people.
He takes the broad ground, that *' a democratic
republican form of government,” even such as it
exists in the United States, should rather lie do
piecated ilian desired. On this point he thus ar
gues;
“Gentlemen, if there were any ofyou here who
had doubts ns to the advantages ot the lurm ol
government under which we live, compared with
the form of government in other counuies, 1
would earnestly advise you, before you peiinitled
such doubts to he confirmed or acted upon, to
read the testimony which you have of tlie cun
ditiott of tiie eountty. 1 would al-o ad
vise you maturely to consider win thcr
you could have in this country the republi
can form of government which you might
wish tor, and which you see established in other
countries. I will take the most successful demo
cratic or republican lurm ol government—that of
the United Stales of America. Mo man wishes
more cordially than I do for the prosperity ol
those great institutions, whatever they may lie
which add to the wealth and happiness of na
tions—for the wealth, the happiness, and pros
perity ol one country, react upon another, and so
far from viewing them with any grudging feeling,
wc might to rejoice at them extending lo our own
benefit- But let me ask you. in tiie first place, do
you lielirve the condition of society in America
superior to yours? I would not ask you to consult
the distinguished Kiiglishtnen residing in that
country, because they may he supposed to he I in -

country of educated intelligehee and refined fee

That Hir Robert Peel should deem such an
appeal to the people of Great lliitain necessary
at fin. juncture, is indicative hath of a greatly
excited state of public sentiment in that king
dom, and of a general apprehension amongst
those who cling to its institutions, ns they haVr
so long existed, that the great body of the pmi
pic cannot much longer discuss the right of a
privileged few to lord it over the disfranchised
many, because of the mete accident oi birth,
without arriving at the conclusion that a «y stem
which tolerates such an obvious infraction ol
natural ju-tiee and political equality is incom
patible with the rights of mart and with the
forms of free government Where the pro sis
as free and as fearless as it is in Great ldritain
—assailing, day after day, these antiquated abu
ses, with an incessant volley ol argument, in
vective and ridicule, in a style adapted to the ca
pacity* and inil lining the pa ssions of all classes
ol the community, we take it lor granted that th"
Lords spiritual and temporal mtist very «oon vo
luntarily relinquish such oi their privileges and
immunities as are most offensive to the reason
and feelings of mankind, or else that the entire
superstructure will lie torn down by the hand of
violence, and its defenders ho buried beneath its
ruins. A graceful surrender of a position
which cannot lie iiiuoli longer maintained may
secure to the peerage and clergy the possession
and enjoyment of a large portion of their heredi
tary privileges and powers; while an obstinao
maintenance of that position, by exasperating
the multitude, may, and pohably will result in
the entire abolition of the privileged r!a«
-es; Yet, tve should inrcr from the terms of Sir
Robert Peel's speech that the Tory party is do
termtued to resist the least encroachment upon
ihe powers of the Lords and Risliops, and b
