COJXMIWICATiOXS. Men ai. Eßrroas rThe writer of this article has regretted to tee applications carried befoie the Legislature every year I vacate Hmie one or another of the siicets and alley, laid out for the toRim! convenience of the citiiens, thiough the ut-lots bordtiing on oar city. Ai an individual feeling a deep ioteiest in the well temr, and prosperity of the city, I hope the attention of the citizen will be directed vigilantly lo ibis ubject. 1 i f not believe we hive any public rights and privileges of this rt tj fitter away; bat ou the contrary that every street and alley no the plot will ultimately be ueful and necessary. But if theie are tome which might properly be eacated.il would surely be but fair and reasonable, that the party drsiiing its vacation should first apply to the city council, aud give notice in a public Bewspaper, a prescribed by law. (See the act amendatory to our city chaiter, approved 22d Feb. 1340.) But let os hare no snap judgment, or laws spiting upon us taking away those rights without the knowledge or consent of the rcoplc The plan of the environs of oor city wai carefully and Terr jodiciou!y arranged and made out by a very competent agent of the State, (B. F. Moiri, Eq.) bf fre the sale of the out-lots. Streets and alleys wem laid iT at such points as it was npposed would be necessary and most convenient in Coming time. This plan was, it is believed, universally approved. It was adopted by the Legislature and ma le (be law of the land i the Mate spread the plot before the people and sold the lands thus laid vft with refeiense to it. What Tery mockery of justice it would be for either the Legislature or ibe Conacil to cim the nghta and privilege thus guaranteed to be swept away without the cooveut of those iute:eteL And wLit a want of wid m and focrsight should we manifest, if we should controt to have them vacated. All . nay not perhaps be much needed at this moment, yet a time will come probably at do distant day. when tbey will be of great consequence to u indi-pcnsable t public convenience. Once let them slip from IM int) the hands of private individual, who woo Id ret lb ground of the vacated Streets for a mere song, and they aie gone forever. They could never be regained however necessary thy mijjht become for public ue, but at great cost The public putse would have to ufTVr fur it. We have bad 'me experience on this point which may serve as one lesson. It t fr.sh in our iee.l!eclion . that but a few yean buck a ehort tieetof but a few rods wa by some means cot vacated and pased into individual haad foratiifle. Ii wti mo found that the vac iicd street wai cecfsory to hose wh bad b-ught property in that vicinity and f"r public U, and was claimed bck at the hands of the Legislature, and it cost the State ever FOUR HUNDRED dollars to restoie the violated lights of those people. So it will be if we fold our arsns and see our rights, in the streets and alleys, one after another taken away to icceommudaic some i"gte individual. Why should we relinquish those even the most unimportant ? The individual in all cases Seeking to grt the ground has no claim whatever upon the community for it. He bought his lots just as all o'hers bought, with the plot

uriorc nun. nc win uv niuit vi mcjunn mn i vnu i by eve.y other man in the county. If he ha been permitted by the indulgence and courtesy of his neighbors to use the -round for rears, is it therefore due to him I hit he should now have the fee simple awaided 10 him ? Let modesty aud common justice answer the question. I have been induced to invite the consideration of the citizens to this subject at this lime, at the tequest of some of my fellow townsmen, and because some of my neih bors owning proieity, and li vine, some of them, io the outskiit. Sie desirous to have vacations of streets and alleys at various points on every side of the town, which, if submitted to io silence, might lead to serious public injury. ONE OF THE PEOPLE. Mcssas.

Annexation at this Session. "We earnestly trust that the present Congress will not aajourn witnout setuing tins question. - tonstitu tional obstacles are now out of the way, which stood before like a lion ia the path, azainst the earlier forms which were proposed for the action of Congress. The admission of Texas as a 44 new S'jile" into the Un ion, with stipulations as to her surplus territory, solves all that difficulty. This is the fundamental idea common to the three several plans of Mr. Niles ia the Senate, and Gen. Droomgoole and Mr. Tibbatts in the House of Reprssentativcs. We take it as pretty well setled now, that the action of Congress on the subject, in one form or another, must and will take this direction. Dromgoole's is the briefest and simplest ol the three, and so lar the most desirable independ ently of the question of slavery. It makes no stipula tion, indeed, in regard to the surplus territory of the new State to be admitted, though it proposes to fix certain limits to the dimensions of that State ; leaving that surplus territory, of course, to the continued own ership of the State, precisely as some of our original States at the time of the formation of the Union held vast tracts of Western territory which they afterwards ceded to the Federal Government. It also leaves un touched the whole Debt question. The United States assume no more liability for the debts of Texas than they now have for those of Pennsylvania or New xoiii. 1 his feature re a capital recommendation ot Dromgoole's plan. After the admission of the new State is consummated, it will be time enough to ne gotiate with her simultaneously about her lands, and the debt changeable on them. Niles's nlan is defec tive in thia respect, that it provides for the cession of the lands without a corresponding assumption of the !ebt- Both or neither, is but fair play. With Gen. Drojigoole, we prefer the latter, decidedly. It sinv 'plifies the measure. It removes from it all semblance of that stock-jobbing character which is fastened upon it in the prejudices of many of its opponents. And it will leave time for a more deliberate survey of the whole ground of the questions we so often hear blindly mooted in the dark How much is the debt? and What is the extent and value of the unappropriated lands ! There remains, then, but one scriou3 difficulty in the way the question of slavery. Mr. Niles's plan compromises that at once, like Col. Benton's, by making the 100th meridian of longitude a dividing line, oa the east side of which slavery may be allow ed, suid on the west side prohibited. This is about an qaal division of the territory, though slaYery gets all the coast. Corresponding to the natural laws of the cLmate and soil, thia appropriates to Free Labor the portion less adapted to the negro race, and leaves to al&very the portion suitable for the cotton and surar culture, uenerai Uroragoole's bill leaves vi .1.- eiV Tv l. m . ,. . . .tlOOf IlKe tllltOI We Debt, Open for future adjustment. this minu And now, wmcn or these is the wiser course to take this buil by tbe boras now, while he is only yearling, and when a trifling effort will suffice to prostrate and secure bim from future power to harm or to leave it till be snail have reached a size and strength which may enable bim perhaps to gore and toss the Union to death! Ja ether words, shall thia point be settled no, or shall we leave it to breed another and worse Missouri Question hereafter ? We need not repeat the conviction we have before expressed, that it ought to be settled, by some fair and equal pompromise, otr, while it is a subordinate and not a primary question, and when the general desire to effect tri main measure of the Annexation, will dispose the mind of all more openly to fair terms of adjustment. We trust that oar friends in Washington from all sections will meet in a kindly and liberal spirit upon this point With the Richmond Enquirer, "we canned bul confidently indulge the hope that some wise aad conciliatory compromise may be pursued by the friends of Annexation before the expiration of the present session." The Constitution says that the South would not accept Texas with such a compromise division of her territory as Mr. Niles's resolution proposes. We regret to read such a declaration, though we can not believe that it will be sustained by the sober-second-thouht w of the minds from which it may have proceeded. The vote in the Houae on Friday, of 92 to 82, in favor of suspending tho rules to admit a proposition to divide the territory equally by a line drawn north-west from a point at the centre of the coast of lexas on tne üulff would seem to argue the necessity of some such compromise on this point to carry the prrasure. through the House of Representatives to

sar nothing of the more perilous passage of the Senate. Would the Southern members then reject it for buch a reason ! We trust not. We cannot believe that any would desire to. If they should, they, and they alone, would be the authors of the defeat uf the measure, subject of regret for which it would be email comfort for any man to be able to lay the blame at other doors than his own. The following letter from General Jackson appears in Friday's G'.obe. Let not its warning exhortation be lot upon any of the friencü of annexation, from the south or from the north ; but rather let it stimulate all to fresh zeal for the speidy ccn rumination of the measure, and to that liberal spirit of compromise, in regard to its mode and terms, in which alone are to be found the practical ways and means of doing it : " II ershtaoe, January 1, 1845u Mr PEam Ala. Blair: 1 cannot forbear, on tins first day of the year ISJ43, to let you know thai I am tili in the land of the living, although greatlv afflicted and debilitated.

' I observe that you have be lore Congress too many j'iiit resolutions (or tue re-annexation of Texas. This argues want of unanimity in th Democracy upon this great national and most important subject. 1 have just receive J from Major Donelson, a letter dated at Washington, in Texas, from which I would infer, that if Congress eipect to annex Texas to the United Slates, they must act speedily, or it will be found to be beyond our grasp. The rejection of the advances of Texas lias given offence tu some, and a handle to others to press tl libera! propositions of England upon the Texians, together with the splendid view of Texas independent, growing into a vast republic, in lime to embrace not only the limits of Texas, but all the dominion once Montezuma'a. This view to ambitious aspirants, added to the guarantiee of England

ol her independence, and the loan of large sums lor ten years, based upon a treaty that English manufacturers shall be tree rl uuty. is gaming a party in xexas. general Houston is still the leading star; and his influence alone can tie counted upon to reaiat the present influence of England and its increasing power. How long this in fluence of England can be succeKMulIy withstood in letas. is becoming a eery questionable matter. 1 have taken a view of the whole ground, giving lo all information its due wei'lit, and I gay to you that, unless Congress acts upon tins subject promptly, lexas will De ueynna bur graup, ana lost lo tne Linited stales forever, unless regit Hied by the sword.

From the Journal of Commerce, January 18. Oregon. From a remark made in the v. b. senate on Wednesday by Mr. Archer, Chairman of the Commit tee on Foreign Relations, we infer that the negotia tion which has so long been pending for the adjust ment of the Orcffon. boundary, is likely to prove a fail ure. As reported in the Washington Olobe, Mr. Archer said, ' In a few days the result of the attempt ed negotiation on the part of the English government and the United States concerning; the Oregon question would be transmitted to the Senate." The word at tempted,' ia this connexion, if actually made use of by JNIr. Archer, is full of meaning. In the National Intelligencer JUr. A. is reported to have said, "the result of the negotiation which liad been in progress between the English Plenipotentiary here and the De partment of State, might be expected to be laid before the Senate in the course of a few days, so as to give time, before the expiration of the session of Congress for any action which Congress might deem requisite or expedient in relation to the controversy which had been depending. .Should it prove that this negotiation has failed o: its object, we know not how or when the question is to be adjusted, 2lr. r ackenham, the .British x.nvoy having been commissioned specially for this purpose It may be taken for granted that all the arguments which could be brought to bear upon the subject, on either side, have been exhausted. Able men have been employed, and all the circumstances of the nego tiation, so far as we know, have been favorable. It ought to hate been successful. Neither of the two na tious has any thing to gain by splitting hairs about a strip of land so remote and comparatively so valuele: as that in dispute, which can at all compensate for the inconvenience and risk of leaving the question open for years to come. And besides, what is to be gained by waiting ! In truth, we are not in a condition to wait. The tide of population is already beginning to & 0regon. and so f &s the tern tory is ind.sputably our own, have a right to expect protection from our laws. They require a Temtona government, and other provisions which are only con sistent with an exclusive jurisdiction. It would be better therefore to come at once to the point which must eventually bo reached, whatever it may be. We suppose the question can only be fettled by compro mise. The territory actually in dispute, is that whic lies South of lat. 49, and North and West of Columbia river and the North East branch of the same, which branch intersects said parallel of latitude three or fou hundred miles from the coast We say this because in the negotiation of 1818, and subsequently in that of 1ÄT7, the rest of the territory was offered to be quit-claimed by the respective parties, by way of com promise. Ihe territory remaining in dispute, cannot be very valuable, and it would be infinitely better to divide it, i. e. this remaining tract, than fight abont it, or leave it as a bone of contention for future years. If however the boundary must continue unsettled, it will be advisable to give Lngland notice of our wish to terminate the joint occupancy, which being done, we can. after one vear. take possession of the territo ry South of the Columbia, establish a territorial gov ernment there, and afford suitable facilities for the encouragement of emigration, leaving the question as to the territory iSorth ot the Columbia to be adjusted hereafter. 07"" Tom, you seem to gain flesh every diy ; the grocery business must agree with you.
