To name that cannot die.
And though such fancy CLEAN
On earthly sorrows night,
Truths nobler torch unveils the shore
Where lends TO both its light.
The nursing there that hand may take

And smiles of well known sweetness wake,
Without their tinge of pain.
Though 'twYt the Child and childlike Bard

How near they were allied.
Within the infants ample brow
Blithe fancies lay unfurl'd
Which all uncrushed may open now
To charm a sinless world.
Though the soft spirit of those eyes
Might neer with Lambs compete
Meier sparkle with wit rs wise,
Or melt in tears rs sweet.
That calm and unforgotten look

With his who never friend fursook,
Or hurt thing that feels.
In thought profound, in widest gIee,
In sorrows lengthening range,
His guleess soul Of infancy
Endur'd no spot or change.
From traits of each love receives
For comfort nobsr scope;
White light which childlikc genius leaves
Confirms the infants hope:
And in that hope. with sweetness fraugh

Messrs. Van Zandt and Henderson to Mr.. Calhoun.
LEGATION OF Texas, !
Washington City, April 10, lS44
The undersigned, &c, in reply TO the inquiries OF
Mr. Calhoun, Secretary Of State of the United States
have the honor TO submit the following:
In 1885, after the declaration of the independence oil
Texas in pursuance of the orders of the convention
and the expression of the popular will, the President
al interim, By his proclamation, ordered an election 10
be held throughout the Republic for the ratification or
rejection of the Constitution which had been adopted
by the convention and for the expression by the peo
pie of their wishes in regard TO the annexation OF lex
10 the United States. The result was, that upon
full POLL but ninety votes were given against The
annexation
Following up this declared wish of the people, the
first Congress that assembled thereafter passed an act
empowering the President TO appoint minister to pre-
the question 10 the Government of the U. States
The proposition having been declined, it deemed
prudent, order to facilitate negotiations with other
countries, to press the question OF annexation FUR
ther, and therefore it was Withdrawn.
Subsequently, in 1922 instructions were given for
the informal renewal of the negotiations which, not
aving been met by reciprocal action the part OF
the United States were, in August last again with
wn, and the ntion of the Government of Texas
directed TO the objects calculated in lis opinion 70 Sc
cure its safety and advance its prosperity, for the al
tanment Of which reasonable assurances had been re-
ce,ved Afterwards, on the 10th OF October last, the
proposition for The formation of treaty of annexation
was made by this Government, through the late Sc
cretary of State, Mr. Upshur, to the Government OF
Texas Al that time arrangement having been con-
cuded inconsistent with such step, and the Congress
having expressed their appreciation of the measure and
every expression Of public sentiment fully indicating
that The people of Texas yet DESTROYS to consum
mate measure believed to be promotive of the mu-
tua welfare of both countries and without which, from
motives of policy necessity, they might be compelled
TO adopt measures which, it is TO be feared would en-
gender feeling of unfrendy rivaship, productive OF
dscord and strife and dangerous to their mutual peace
and quiet the President of Texas determined 10 &C
cede 10 the proposition, and accordingly empowered
the undersigned 10 adjust The terms of the Treaty just
concluded
The undersigned have the most abiding confidence,
