Mr. Legare, from the Committee on For

for establishing Congress Of Nations for
settling disputes, instead of appealing to
force, made report adverse to the PRAYER
of the memorialists, and on his motion the
committee were discharged from all fur
Their consideration of the same. The re-
port is very elaborate, and ten thousand ex
ira copies We're ordered to be prin,el.
The House resumed the considerations
of the report of the Committee on For.ion
Affairs, on the subject of the annexation Of
Texas, with the motion of Mr.. GUSHING to
recommt the report with instructions.
MIR. Thompson now moved the follow
ing as further amendment
with instructions to report Joint res
olution directing the President to take the
necessary steps for the annexation of Tex
as to the United States as soon as It can he
done consistently with the treaty stipula-
tions Of this Government"
MIR. Howard remarked that, since yes.
terday, it would be perceived the Question
had undergone a total change. Then the
question was whether proposition was
before this Government, coming from Tex
as ior annexation; now, il was proposed
Tor us to make an application to that Re-
public. A'0
The evening session of the House m

Pennsylvania Freeman" The quotation I
is an extract from a letter written home
from New-York by the Editor, John G. |
Whittier, who was present al the "debate,"
and is the author OF the latter resolution:
"During this day I4th of Mayl an animated de-
bate took place in reference what is termed the
peace question:" growing out of resolution, de-
claring the Declaration of Sentiments" put forth
at Philadelphia in 1888, binding upon all the mem
bers of the Anti-Slavery Society, part of its
fundamental law. In the evening of the same day
the same subject came up again in q resolution
offered by my SELF advising the members and agents
of the Society not to rely upon physical force for
protection against the violence of their enemies
This resolution was debated ably and eloquently
by brothers May, Leayitt and several others, and
was lost by small majority, on the ground, that
would prevent US from applying to the civil author
ity for protection against mob violence"
Ii is plain that the Editor Of the Evan
gelist fell into his error by blending the two
! resolutions. But the Editor Of the Evan
gelist has not, in his error, undertaken TO
make out what the Chronicle has-or any
thing like it-that the Declaration 1rds
thro1cn orerbodrd and diSaroped."
II is now seen what ground had for
declaring before the world that the Chron,
icle's statement carried an unuuth on the
face Of it. This declaration was no, made
recklessly or incautiously. | knew wei

Suppose that in geaeral convention O
delegates from the American people, assem-
bIed in 1888, for the purpose of consulting
for the common welfare, a resolution is of
cred, "that we consider the Declaration c
American independence, made by our faith
ers, July 4, 1875, declaration Of the prir
f ciples Of the American people," Suppos
that some Of the members Of the Conver
