ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

The discussion OF the sunex ton Of Texas TO Ito
United States, 10 exciting fever throughout the
length and breadth Of the land, which is fast sN al
lowing zap all the minor subjects Of public policy
is even subduing In the rsncor Of party
warfare. The sett ment of the long-disputed rirLt
10 the possession Of Oregon which is now in fair
way OF being brought 10 issue, has also dwndled
into iBsgnhoance ia comparison with this new born
proposition aud the friends of National Banks Sub
Treasures, Tariff aud Free Trade, have grounded
their arms and rallied under the banners which have
been raised Tor or against annexation.
The New York American, in abiding TO the rumor
Which has recently gone abroad that the President
Was preparing treaty 10 be presented to the Senate
for ratification, solemnly and with great apparent
earnestDess, exclaims that "he ratification Of hat
treaty Is The dissolution of the Union.n This declaIa.
ton has also been repeated and endorsed by various
other papers in the Northern States Of equally high
standing with the American. During the Tarin dis
cussion of 1882, when this threat Of d solution
was used by members OF Congress from the South
general 'hue and cry" Of indignation raised at
the North against those who uttered il. They were
even denounced traitors 10 their country, and
their expulsion from Congress recommended as
punishment for impious assertion. But II seems
that circumstances alter cases, and now, with far
less real for the OF the argument, II is APP
piled and held up a threat against measure that
can never be coDsummated without the con ent Of
large portion Of those who now oppose it,
The question whether Texas shall or shall not BE-
annexed to the Union, is one that should be settled
speedily possible, and il the President has pre-
pared treaty TO be presented 10 the Senate for the
consideration, as has been asserted he should
the thanks Of the enemies well as the friends Of
the therefor, instead Of the violent denun-
citation which has been hurled against him. If the
mere presentation Of a treaty tantamouDt
to lis ratification, the matter would be different :;
but so long the Senate has control OF the sub
ject, and constitutional majority Of two-thirds is
required for its ratification, which cannot be had
without the support Of at least half the Senators from
the Northern States, the people have nothing to fear
on The subject. The present Senate is composed Of
as high minded, honorable, patriotic and enlightened
statesmen as the world can produce and as ii is
question which political feeling or party bias
not operate, satisfied that the country gene
rally perfectly willing to leave the question en-
trely to their disposal Whether they adopt re-
jet the treaty, therefore, there be doubt but that
the Union will still exist and prosper heretofore
