ANNEXATION OF TEN,s.-Wc copy from the
Madisonian the following paragraph in rclatont to
tho annexation of Texas:
We have authentic adviccs from Texas, show
ing that with the exception of one member the
Senators and Representatives in the Congress of
the Republic are unanimously in favor of annex
alton We have likewise intelligence that il
Texas be not annexed TO the United States, II vii
Immediately become dependency of England
and an instrument TO ruin the commerce ant
manufactures of the New England States. 4
If the Executive of the United States shouf
send into the Senate a treaty Of annexation we
make bold to say for the especial benefit of the
Intclligcnccr. that he will be wholly Influenced
by patriotic motives, He will entertain no sec
tonal or party considerations. When sent in,
should the treaty be made, it will be for the Sc.
nate, or the Senate only, to ratify or reject 1t.
The Senate will doubtless act with full knowl.
edge of It's duties and responsibilities, whether a
treaty anncxing Texas, or one asserting our in
diSputable title to Oregon, or both he laid before
