| tho people Of France, after the death OF
Louis Philippe, for before, il you PIease)
were 10 make proposition 10 this Gov
ernment for the amalgamation Of the two
into one great nation. There could be
no reason offered against this union that
does not apply equally to the annexation
of Texas France, with her 95 100000
of inhabitants, would swallow up The
voice OF the 100000 of our present
population, just as our own would now
oVerbalance the suffrage OF Texas
Nor would the sea that se parates US from
France al ali change the similarity Of
the case. The distance between US aud
France is not greater than are some
parts OF Texas Let those who take an
interest n these things, reflect seriously
on The matter. Let them view the case
upon constitutional principles, divested
of all connection with sprculatons in
scrip. Texas bonds, and purchases Of
lands, as we'll sS the political capital 10
be made on The one side or the olber 10
the Presidential election, and decide
accordingly There are many consid
erstioDs which refer themselves to the
policy OF this measure, as connected
wnh the peace aud Ultimate heaIlh(ul.
ness Of our admirable system Of free
government. which we may discuss a;
snoiher time. 10 the mean time we
feel bound 10 say, that for audacty Of
usUrpalion 90 Government, depending
for its support upon public sufrages, has
ever yet presented so glaring and reck~
less an instance. The following is the
sentiment OF the Ohio Legislature oD
The subject in 1888:
Resolved, By The General assembly ofI
Tie State Of Ohio, That in the name and
on behalf of the people Of the State of
Ohio, we do hereby oolemnly protest

Aadb IL further resolUed, That the |
Governor be requested to transmit to
each Of our Senators and Representa-
rves in Congress aBd to the Governors
