SAyANkAII.

On the 18th instant, large Texas meeting was
held in Savannah, Colonel J. W. Jackson in the
Chair. 1t was preliminary, and it was decided TO
call no party meeting the 18th instant to DELHI
crate on the subject Of Annexation.
General Bailey addressed the meeting forciby in
favor OF immediate annexat ion, and was followed by
Mr.. Baxter, of Hancock, who proved that annexa-
ton now was right from Mr. Clay's and Mr. Van Bu-
ren' American negotiations for that purpose in 1927
and 1929, contrasting their lofty course of conduct
at that day with their trucking and British Mexican
symPaihes at this tifae evnced in their late anti
Texas letters. The venerable Governor Branch, of
North Carolina, wa, present, aud said that the tnae
Tor talking pasthat action was The duty of eve
ry American in relation to the Treaty OF Anne Ration;
that he in favor Of out-and- out and tried An
nexaton candidate for the Presidency; that LIE
would never vote for any other man for that hi, h
office. Judge Warner conceded with Governor
Branch, and called on the Senate TO raty the treaty

borne Jones ofMuscogee would bury all other questions
In the Texas question. The old Hero of he Her
mitage, he said, had shown conclusivey that Texas
ought to ba annexed nsp. lie MIR Jonos) would
not vote for any man who for it noe. The
utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and there was but one
sentiment in favor of the great Treaty maker, John
Tyler, and his Treaty before The Senate.

CoMhUNICATED.

Mr.. Benton's windy speech, published in violation
Of the Senates injunction of secrecy and fol the pur
pose of boIstering Mr. Van Buren preensions in the
approaching Convention, is based upon the most oot
rsgeous perversons Of facts and assumptions Of
dition Of things not really existing. The war be-
tween Texas AID Mexico, about which he makes
such flourish Of trumpets IL carried by the for
n.sr power with Ter navy laid up in ordinary, and
each ship manned by single sailor, and also without
a soldier in the field The American People are
too much ia the habit Of looking at things in prac-
teal light 10 be humbugged' by the Colonies inge
NOUS array Of written proof while this naked and
palpable truth-that war does not exist de
faclo-stares them in the face. His bold as
sumption that the heaty contempla,es the annex
alton OF any more territory than that of Texas, &C
cording TO the old Spanish limits might create sur
prise, coming from any other source; but as it is
from the Colonel, it can but produce a smile with
those who know his Trick Of grandiloquently Jumping
to conelu sions rejected by Of common SENSE
For some time since there has been a credited ru-
NOR that he is smoothing his way to support Clay in
the next election of which little better evidence is
wanted than this ridiculous harangue.

informed that the journals OF the Webs and the

President for dsansnging their plans. by promptly
and boldly assuming the American side of the Texas
question, that they have been reyivns the old

THE NORTHERN FEDERAL PRESS.

The abusive tone Of the leading Federal presses in
the great Northern cities in every allusion 10 the
Presidents course respecting Texas, can excite no
other feeling but contempt. In view OF the well
known fact that most Of them edited by English
men, or employ two or more Of Queen Victoria's
subjects in their editorial department some may
be disposed to be indignant at their foul calumni
against the American Chief Magistrate for stripping
the British projects respecting Mexico and Texas of
all disguise, and laying them open to the inspection
Of his countrymen. Shall name the journals,
