TEXAS AND SLAvERY.-A letter from Calves ton is published in the N. o. Bee, in which is affirmed that the scheme to abolish slave ry in that Republic originated with one indi- vidual, and finds very little favor there.- Such plan, however, was deliberately pro- posed by the individual, who is not named, and who according to the writer of the let ter, was compelled to leave the place. His plan was first to get consent of the slave holder, then to change the constitution, which cannot be done under two years, and then apply to the British Abolition Society to raise the money to pay for the slaves.- The Bee says his name will be given to the Police of New-Orleans.
