ANTI-TEXAs MEETINGS.

A large and respectable meeting Of citizens, with
out distinction of party, opposed to the Treaty fol
the annexation Of Texas to the United States, took
place at PHILADELPHIA last Thursday evening.
BENJAMIN w. RICHARDS presided assisted by
seven Vice Presidents, viz: Samuel Brock, DR.
Robert Hare, DR.. Henry S. Patterson, William d
Kelley, John Price Wetherill, Thomas d. Grover
and John Ashton, Jr. John Rowland and A. T.
Chur acted as Secretaries.
The meeting was opened by an address from
Professor HARE, who disclaimed any feelings Of
modern Abotionism, being In favor Of extending "a
the South every constitutional guaranty. But hs
was opposed to the annexation as violation OF
former compromises Of the Constitution. 1t vas
very different from the purchase of louisiana and
even that, according to Mr.. JEFFERsos, was uncon-
stitutiona and needed the assent of the nation That
measure was, besides. dictated by the necessity Of
the case.
He was followed in animated speeches from j.
REESE Fry, DR.. HENRY s. PATTERSON, and Ell
LOTT CREssoN, all Of whom opposed the annexa
ton mainly on constitutional grounds.
A series Of resolutions was adopted disappearing
OF the haste with which the treaty of annexation has
been urged, without consulting the wishes of the
people; asserting that the recent armistce between
Mexico and Texas, in which the latter consents to
treat with the former department thereof, for
iS'.s "oi Siou " WuCPCuucHCt anu sovereignty,
and that any attempt on the part of the United
States to seize that department without the con-
sent Of Mexico might be followed by war; OBJ
Jecting TO the annexation because the United
States would have to assume an enormous debt
would increase taxation, &c. Resolutions were also
for which Texas can offer no equivalent, and
adopted providing for the appointment of Com
mIttee 10 memorabilia the Senate of the United
States against the ratification Of the treaty.
An adjourned meeting of citizens of PITTsBURa
having in view an expression of opinion on the sub
Jec of annexation" held in that city on Tues
day evening last, at which resolutions in opposition
TO the measure were adopted almost unanimously !;
and this, too after the advocates of the Treaty had
diligently canvassed the>Gily in order TO bring forth
their entire strength on the occasion. The meeting
was attended by men Of all parties-Whigs, Demo-
Gratis, and Liberty men and, meager in numbers
as were the friends Of annexation, the Sun ex-
presses the opinion that if the names of Mr.. WILL
KrNs and Mr. WALKER (both Pittsburgers) were
not connected with the scheme, it would not have
a single friend in Pittsburg.
