 FRIENDS OF TEXAS, RALLY RALLY!
 lIR. EDIToR-Sir: From indications con taned in the last Washington City papers, it would seem the vote on the Treaty to rc- anner Texas to the United States, will be suspended for a considerable time, yet, no doubt, for the purpose of a11ording sufficient time for the friends, as we'll as opponents, of the measure, 10 express their wishes 10 the Senate, before the final action of that body upon it.
 As a warm supporter of the measure, per init me 10 suggest the propriety of holding a Mass MEETING in this city, at the earliest day practicable, 1eiHom regard 10 party, in oider 10 adopt such measures as will advance the remuneration of that valuable Territory, without delay, to the United States As friends of the South, can we stand by, with our arms folded upon our breats, and see our best interests wrested from Us? hope not. Then let aY, who are in favor of regaining that fair domain. which was unjusily bartered away, come boldly forward, and lend hand in this good work.
 From the developments made in Lord Aberdeen's letter, we can have no reasonable doubt, that England has used, and will use, her great resources, in compelling Texas to surrender the right to the institution of slave " in that Republic, in order to secure her independence, # the United States should re- fuse to receive her at this time. The Treaty is a good one, and will not ultimately cost the United States one cent; inasmuch as the lands ceded will be amply sufficient to pay the debt, and to defray all expenses.
 Were meetings held in every county in the State, and their proceedings sent to our Sen- ators, it would aid them much in accomplish ing this great and desirable object. Will not every frientf step forward, without regard to party, and give his aid: TEXAS

 PEAR DocroR-'Fhere was a large meet ing held lastnightat the Arcade, of the friends of JOIN C. CALHOUN. and annexation. The large bar room was crowded; and the meei- ing was characterized by a feeling of profound attention to the speakers, and a strong con eutence in theiryieWs relative to the reannexa- ton of Texas, as eyineed by loud and ione applause The meeting was addressed by FELIX llorsroN, Esqs strongly supporting Mir. Calhoun in his views of this important and exciting topic.
 During the visit of DIr. Clay to this city, 4lr. Houston was all ardent admirer and sup porter of him and his doctrines, and was Chief Marshall in all the Banner Parades and Clay gIortications But since the publiea- ton of Mir. Clay's letter, relative to the an nexation of Texas, Mir. II. has (as you say in Arkansas) "come out flat footed" against AIr. Clay and his policy, and in favor of Nr. Calhoun and annexation. This movement will have great effect throughout the State. AIr. H. is well and fagorably known, has many personal friends, and will, doubtless, advance AIr. Calhoun's cause greatly. The meeting was also addressed by Col Camp bell and AIessrs Noise, Wadsworth and Brown.

Gun OWN poslrtoN.-Whether our yews in re garl to the annexation of TeXas be right or wrong, they have been maturely considered, firmly adopted. and frankly ayowed When the subject was first fairly presented to the people, We gave it careful examination, duly weighing all the reasons, for aud against il, which were suggested by others, or by oar own mind The result of that examination was, that Annexation was the most important measure which had been presented to our country since the establishment of our national independence. being of great general interest to our whole country and measure of actai ssif preservation to our South western States. This was tie view we took of t in it's early stage, before any of oar public were committed upon it, and before il was certainly known what side Of t waald be taken by any of those who were likely to be candidates for high pub lie office. suspectins, however, that Mir. Clay would be hostile to the measure we early called public attention to our suspicious, and our reasons for entertaining them, and asked of our cotempora- Iies an expression of opinion. either favorable or unfaforabe to Annexation Our readers will re member our success in inducing others to ''speak out" In order that there might be no misappre- hcnson of our own views, upon question which We then ioeesaw would sooa become paramount to all others on the End January, in the 10th number of the Banner, Ohe 5th edited by us) We made the following declaration:
