The annexation of Texas still continues a favourite
topic, and would, no doubt, be persisted in, if their
fears were not paramount to their wishes. The fol-
lowing are extracts :

(From the New I 'ork inquirer of Nov. 30.)
The approaching session of Congress will be a re
rnarkable one in some respects, but it will pass with•
out producing any result. The term for which Gen
Harrison was elected President by a large majority
of the people, expires on the 4th of March next ; and
although
John Tyler, by his treachery, has prevented
the
Whigs carrying out the great measures to which
, in common with our party, was solemnly pledged,
Whigs are nevertheless responsible to the country
for all legislation up to the 4th of March. They can-

This being the state of affairs, it follows, of course,
that the tariff will not be permitted to be touched
during the coming session, nor will Texas be ad-
.itted into the Union, except in connexion with the
honourable
of great Whig measures, and upon terms
"° urable to the good faith of the nation. After the
4th of March, Mr. Polk and his friends will be re-
-IPonsible for the legislation of the country; and then,
he and they will give or withhold from the people, as
they think proper, the measures which they have de-
manded by their recent action at the polls. But
already we perceive the evidence of a design to cheat.
