The Annexation OF Texas.
We took occasion few DAYS ago to mention
the reception of pamphlet on the Texan Revo-
luton, by "Probus." We do not know who
|tProbus' is, but we conjecture him to be David
l.. Child. At any rate, he has done good ser
wee. The pamphlet occupies 81 large pages in
small type, and contains a mass Of well authenti-
Gated facts, drawn mostly from official docu-
Inents, exhibited with pquant and opposite COM
ments. These facts are known to but few of the
American people, though deeply concerning
them. They show, beyond all question that the
project Of getting Texas added to the Union "by
hook or by crook, has been lorg cherished and
that tho means rcsortcd lo have been unwarrant-
able and outrageous. 1t was a darling project Of
Gen. jackson, and from the moment he came into
power he set himself about it with great assIdui-
ty In examining the correspondence between
our Government and that of Mexico, published
by order of Congress- Probus discovered frequent
reference to other letters which not to be
found, but are suppressed as prioate, not being of
a nature ft for the people to see; but what are
published sufficiently disclose that the principal
business of our Minister in Mexico, for the last
fourteen years, has been to coax, intrigue, whee-
die and cheat Mexico out Of Texas, and that
finally fraud and force were added in the most
sinister manner through the agency Of Houston
and the Texan volunteers In all these intrigues,
Mr.. Van Buren was as ready if not as willing an
instrument as any Southern STAKEHOLDER, the
grand object being the extension of slavery into
that rich and fertile region, where the Mexicans
had abolished it. Our government began the
quarrel with Mexico, because her government
would not make a treaty to deliver up fugitive
slaves. This effort was made as soon as John
Quincy Adams was driven out of Office by the
miserable, knavish, hypocritical cry of bargain
and corruption" and when Mexico peremptoriy
refused, the effort was redoubed to get possession
of Texas. To accomplish this, we have several
times been very near beng engaged in wal
with Mexico, and hostilites would actually have
commenced at one time If Gen. jackson could
have got from Congress the authority he asked
for. We verify believe that Mr.. Adams and
few other Wings, saved the country from
with Mexico, In which the latter would no doubt
have called Great Britain To her aid. Wecanno
now 60 into particulars bat we shall recur to the
correspondence of Mr.. Polnsett of 5. c., Mr..
Anthony Butler, the latter Texas land specu.
lator of the most prohigatc character and Mr..
Powhattan Ells, Mississippi planter all Min,
,stcrs to Mexico. What requires immediate and
pressing attention is, that Mr.. Tyler and all his
guard are now bent on carrying out Gen. Jack.

States, and of stretching the domnionS of Texas
over California. The Santa Fc expedition and
the seizure of Monte Rey by Com. Jones, which
was little premature, wore all part Of the
same system OF operations. What now causes
great urgency, as well as the utmost secrecy In
bringing Texas into the Union, is the fact thai
