At a late Wing Convention in Vermont, a
resolution was passed deprecating the con-
tcmplated admission of Texas into the Union.
T"he. resolution is as follows:
RsscIved, That we deprccate the contcm-
plated annexation of Texas to the Union.
We regard The movement to that end, as O.
riginating in a purpose to perpetu tie the
slave power; and deem It our duty to declare
that such annexion, If Effected, will be a vir-
tuaI dissolution Of the Union; introducing, as
it will, into the confederacy, parties entirely
beyond the anticipation of the Constitution,
thereby abolishing the old, by the constitution
of a new political family, and thus breaking
up the foundation of our Federal Union"
The Wing State Convention of Connect
ticut, at its late meeting passed the following
resolution:
Resoluea, That the a~nncxion Of the Rcpub-
lie of Texas "a foreign and independent State
to our Union, will be a most palpablc and
lagrant infraction of the Constitution of the
United States, alike inconsistent with a
hcalthful administration of government and
dangerous to our liberties, and must %ineyita-
bly, break up and destroy our glorious Union.

OF 'Some men arc born great, some a.
chieye greatness, and others have greatness
thrust p them,'' says Shakespeare. As II
are were not great enough, or had not acheiv-
ed a sufficient amount of glory for ourselves,
Mr. Parker, the beltwether of the House,
has lent his aid to keep us prominently before
the country, since the commencement OF the
session. We should lave TO objections to
this, Notwithstanding our retiring modesty
would lead US TO prefer obscurity, were it no.
that the course he had chosen to adopt to-
wards US, has not only cost the people some
twelve hundred dollars, but has wasted to the
proper business of the House some fifteen
hours of precious time. He is an expert
marksman who can skill two birds with one
stores" but the more ambitious MIR. Parker
aimed to kill three: to wit: a blow at our
humble selves, an understandable waste Of the
public treasure, and a protraction OF the ses-
sion to the greatest possible extent. His mo-
tivcs for all this must be quite apparent to the
discriminating. But it will be fortunate for
him, If, ike the hero Of Hudibras, he don't
get kicked over by his own gum.

CONGRESS.

We have the first days proceedings Of Congress. At II
O'Clock on Monday, Dec. 4, the Clerk of the last Congress,
Mr.. Nj. st. Clair Clark, called the House to order, and read
the roll, proceeding by States. One hundred and e~ighty-nine
members answered 10 their names. The number of members
from all the States in the aggregate, due by the last appor-
tiOnment, is 223. All the members from Indiana were pre-
sent except Caleb B. Smith.
When the Clerk had proceeded in The call through the Stale
Of Maine, and was entering into the disputed territory ofNew
Hampshire, Mr.. John Campbell, of S. C., rose TO an objection
that this delegation were not returned according to law, and
inquired Of the Clerk as 10 the fact. The Clerk said that they
had produced certificates Of election, and that he felt himself
Unauthorized TO 90 beyond the official certificate. Cries Of
60 on, go on with the reading.
After some discussion, Nj. Barnard of New York, wished
20 I" read a paper" relative TO the matter, and the discussion
was continued a short time, ard finally his proposition was
voted down BY a vote Of 30 yeas 10 l24 nays.
Mr.. Barnard then rose and said he should not press the
reading Of the paper, but he objected 10 the members who
had not complied with the law, taking their seats.
The Clerk then asked the House whether they would
proceed to vote for a Speaker by ballot or rira roee when
the House decided to vote by Uira a0ee-and the Clerk
proceeded to call the roll, and the following is the result,
as reported by the .~telleTs-MesSrs. Hopkins of Va.
Vance of Ohio, and Campbell Of South Carolina.
