This is the language of tbe KakdaVenlure,

ture has changed hands lately. Mr. Knapp
has retired, and Mr. Mackenzie lakes his
place. He signalizes the commencement of
his labors, by an avowal ot a design that is
secretly cherished by the hard money lead
ers of the Locofoco party ol Uoio. He out
echoes, however, the sentiment promulgated
. bv the Statesman and echoed along the line
of the faithful just after the adjournment ofi
the Legislature. He makes it a little more
conspicuous, by placing it in bold print, al
the head of his editorial column; but we are
more inclined to respect than to censure him
for this. A bold and manly opponent is al
wavs more to be respected than one who
skulks snd attempts under cover to carry
out his objects. The Venture occupies the
ground on which our opponents are to stand

ground in opposition to tree uaiiKtng. At

game was well followed by( his friends, the

Mr Dear K , '
I think youlsaid I should write " every op
portunity." Well (hen, we have got across
tho Kanzas River,; I wrote the day we
started to 1 That day we strung out
someting over 100 wagons, went six miles
and encamped for the night, and in tho ev
ening had a meeting to do some business as
we started without an organization. The
principal excitement was about the cattle,
there being a great many in company and
while some men have but few others have
hundreds; and those who have but few are
unwilling to do an equal share in guarding
them with thoso who have many, A num
ber of persons are going for the mere pur
pose of taking cattle to speculate off the
Emigrants in Oregon. Wo adopted a rule
that -for every twelve head of cattle thore
should be one person capable of doing duty.
Under this rule some could net come in.
Accordingly next morning thoso who had
but few cattle drove their wajons out to se
parate from those who had much stock.
They continued rolling out Until about 30
only were loft. Some, howover, were stilW
dissatisfied with the quantity of stock, sonfe
persons having large droves of cattle, and
plenty of men to attend them, and so could
come in under the 12 head rule, some con
sequently drove out forming a third company
admitting only 6 cattle. About 25 wagons
went ahead without a Pilot we of the 2d
company then went on 4 miles the third

A few words as to the cattle business!
It would be desirable to get plenty to Ore
gon but it is almost impossible. It h hard
enough to get along without much loose
stock; the emigrants cannot take sufficient
care of them, manv are lest and manv arei'ha creatures of tho monoy power. Few men have
stolen by the Indians. We have come
scarcely 100 miles and have lost at least one
quarter of our cattle. It also creates great
dissatisfaction. The best way is to have a
' '
good wagon, get one or two good yeke of
oxen, then two or three yoke of cows and
heifers, and one or two loose cows for milk.
I advise emigrants hereafter to take no more!
Ihey delay us very much this year. All well

State Printing out of his hands, till a hearing can

were hot ignorant of the statements mado by
Coombs in forming our conclusion, but tho palpa

manifested deprived them of any credence. The
Whigs, smarting under tho lash applied by Me
dary to their delinquencies, got up matter of com
plaint against him, of which, we doubt not, they
perfectly understood tho flimsy character, especi
ally as they chose Farrington's confrore for the
filthy work of defamation. Yet they dared not state
in the law which took from Medaby tho printing
the charges upon which they pretended to found
that act! By the injunction they are cheeked and
battled, and do they expect Democrats to condole
with them because crafty malevolence has failed
of reaching its objoct? By the way, how came
the Whig believers in the inviolability of legisla
lative contracts to violate the principle in MedA

Imon they are blind to all rights but those with

,TEXAS.-i-The acconnfs which, reach us
daily from the theatre of annexation, tire be
coming more and more interesting as! tife
crisis approachesJ Tho desperate struggle
making by England ttJ thwart the wishes of
the people of both, the United States arid
Texas, are such as to lead to serious appre
hension that some accidents may set the
whole in a blaze. It is very evident that
unprompted by England, the annexation
would co quickly into operation without ex
citing the smallest nneasiness; but the whole
wealth dud diplomacy of England are con
centrated in the effort to defeat it. The in
dependence of Texas involves virtually tho
independence of England; that is to say, the
latter country is now entirely dependent up
on the Southern States for the material by
which a larse DOitiori of her Deoule and
I trade are supported. Texas is the only spot
which can rival the United States in the proJ
duction of tnut staple. When she comes
into the bosom of the United States, tho
chance of the emancipation of England from
her dependence upon the United States for
cotton, will have passed away for evor. " As
the moment of annexation approaches, and
the prize is1 slipping from her grasp, she be
comes nearly frantic, in tho person of her
agent, ihe latest intelligence very strongly
indicates that Mexican troops are, promp'ted
by the English, advancing beyond the Rio1
Grande. Texan forces are about to Con
verge upon the same point; that is, beyond
the line of the Neuces. The country be
tween the Rio and the Neuces is about one
degree of latitude on the coast, and is a fine
country. With these forces facing each
other, the) utmost danger of a collision ex
ists. It is to be hoped, hewever, that the
presence of the United Slates fleet, under
Capt. Stockton, now cruising between the
months' of the Neuces and the Rio, will have
the effect of preventing the Mexicans from
crossing the latter rivefj Under fears of being
cut off from their retreat; in which case do
difficulty will arise.
It is presumed tkat the English agent is
acting " under orders." If so, his conduct
by no means squares with the declaration, of
Lord Aberdeen, in his despatch to Mr. Pa-
kenham of the 26th of December, 1843,
wherein he Stalest in the most precise and
explicit terms, that Great Britain aspires td
no dominant inuueuce in Texas; that she
presumes not to u3e any undue authority
over foreign Slates iu her opposition to slave
ry; and that, with reference to the slave-
holding States of the Union, she has evor
treated them with the same respect and
" forbearance as the other members of tho
Federal Communitv."
We observe the work " forbearance1' is a
favorite phrase with the British ministers
whenever alluding to these United States.'
We do not, however think that England,
notwithstanding the greatness of the Object,,
to her of having, nominally independent) Un
der her influence, a great rival Cotton coun
try to the United States, would venture on a
war to prevent it: I tie whole uneasiness
arises from fear of aceidenis.-Ni F. ftlOr

The Washington Union thus calmly, but
pointedly, meets tbe present hostile attitude
of England towards us: .. .
" Sir Robert Peel is very much deceived,
indeed, if he expects to intimidate us by his
blustering bravado on the floor of tho Houso
of Commons. The English prints havo
fallen into an extraordinary error. It is true,
that the United States have not burst
into a violent volcano, on the receipt of his
declarations. It is equally true, that our
government has not changed its determiha-
lon to re-open the negotiation at Washing
ton about Oregon. It is triid, that they ara
anxious to preserve the peace of the world,
by another attempt to settle tho controversy
on honorable terms. But let not the British
minister deceive himself about the spirit of
pur people, or the purposes of our govern
ment. Wo desire peace; but it must be an
honorable peace. We would avoid war, if
consistent with our rights and our honor;
but every American says, " Let war come,
soenov than sacrifice our sacred rights, and
still more sacred honor." This is the claim,
settled, unalternable decision of our court'
