the whole horizon in broad blaze, from lnces-
SAINT and vivid flashes OF lightning. The crash and

About ten o'clock the lightning struck n house in

PoLITIcAL CHANGEs.-The New York Tribune
says, that there is a township in Pennsylvania,
with 200 voters, where in 1910, Van Buren, had
rs majority. Now, there are l25 in the Clay
Club! A few such revolutions as this, and Mr..
Polk will scarcely have decent vote in that

Of the Richmond Enquirer by writing him an

MESSAGE.
Senate of the United States:

To the Senate of the United States:
transmit herewith, for your approval
and ratification, a treaty, which l have
ted States and Texas, whereby the latter,
on the conditions therein set forth, has
transferred and conveyed all its right of
separate and independent sovereignty and
jurisdiction to the United States. In taking
so important a step, have been influenced
by what appeared to me to be the most
controlling considerations of public policy
and the general good; and in having ac-
complished it, should it meet with your
approval, the government will have sue
ceeded in retaining territory which
formerly constituted a portion, as it is con-
iden,ly believed, of its domain, under the
treaty of cession of 1903, by France, to the
United States.
The country thus proposed to be an
nexed has been settled principally by per-
sons from the United States, who emigra-
ted on the invitation of both Spain and
Mexico, and who carried with them into
the wilderness which they have partially
reclaimed, the laws, customs, and political
and domestic institutions of their native
land. They are deeply indoctrinated in
all the principles of civil liberty. and will
bring along with them, in the act of re-asso-
citation. devotion to our Union, and firm
and infexible resolution to assist in main
tanning the public liberty unimpaired-a
consideration which, as it appears to me,
is to be regarded as one of no small mo-
ment. The country, itself, thus obtained
is of incalculable value in an agriculture
and commercial point of view.
To soil of Inexhaustible fertility il
unites a genial and healthy climate, and is
destined, at a day not distant, to make
large contributions to the commerce of the
world. Its territory is separated from the
United States, in part, by an imaginary
line, and by the river Sabine, for distance
of 80 miles; and its productions are thu
same with those of many of the contiguou
States Of the Union. Such is the country
such are its inhabitants, and such its capac
itios to add to the general wealth Of thu
Union. As to the latter, il may be safely
asserted, that in the magnitude of its pro
ductions, il will equal in short time, unde
the protecting care Of this Government
