Texas Treaty.

A large portion of to-day's paper is oc.
cupied with the treaty Of annexation con-
cluded between Mr.. CALHOUN and the
Texian Ministers, together with the mes
sage of the President transmitting the same
to the Senate. Whether ratified or reject
ed, the treaty should be before the public,
SO that all may become familiar with its pro-
visions.
We publish, also, an interesting letter
from Col. BESroK, in favor Of annexation
when it can be done without violation q
national faith; but this, Col. B. thinks, with
Mr.. Van Buren,, cannot be done at pre-
seI,s, while Mexico and Texas are at war,

shall not be able to publish, because Of its
great length. This we much regret, mas
much as it is one Of his ablest papers. Its
points and conclusions were correctly stated

Democratic Meeting-tle Rail
I'm Motion.

We publish, in another column, : call for 4
democratic county meeting on the Sth tlt.,
signed BY large and respectable number ofthe
sturdy democracy Of Des Moines. The cali en-
anates from the people, and by the people viii
be responded to. The best possible split pre-
walls throughout the county, and we shall be
disappointed if we do not give our ticket one
hundred votes more than was ever given before.
The importance ofthe crisis is duly appreciated,
and all seem to be impressed with the necessity
OF presenting to our opponents bold and united
front in August. Let our country friends duly
note the day ofmeetiag, and make their arrange
ments to attend If possible.
Several papers, containing, as we understand
numerous names, have not yet been returned to
this Office. This statement will account tc
such as have signed the call, and find their name:
omitted, for such omission. We will add thes,
names in our next.

The General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church convened in New York on
the first inst One hundred and eighty dele
gates, representing thiEty-three Annual Confer
ences, were present. Canada and Texas were
represented.
The Bishops of the Church were all present.
Joshua Soule, Elijah Hcdding, James C. An
drew, Beverly Waugh, Thomas A. Norris
The number of preachers was large, and the
crowd dense.
The scene is represented as most interesting.
The appearance of the Conference itself was i'm
posing. Men hoary with age, and the middle
aged-men wise in counsel and efficient in &C.
ton, and gifted in intellect, compose this body
Bishop Soule, occupied the Chair; Thomas B.
Sargent was elected Secretary, and Messrs.
Houghtalng and Kenny, Secretaries. The ad-
dress of the conference, in relation to the in
terests ofth Church, Bishop Soule stated was
ready.

Owing to the heavy and constant rains
by which we have been visited, promises
to be late one. May is more than hall
gone, and yet very many Of our farmers
have their corn ground to prepare, and the
corn to plant. The wheat crop never
looked fairer than it did some few weeks
since, but apprehensions are entertained
BY some that it will be somewhat injured
BY the long continuance of wet weather.

The Washington Correspondent Of the Jour
nal of Commerce, writes under date of the d. d
inst, as follows:
at seems from what we learn, to-day, that
Mr.. Calhoun is very well satisfied that the
Treaty Of annexation will meet with the assent
of the Mexican government and Of every govern
ment except the British. Mr.. racktnham has
demonstrated against the treaty, and MIR. Cal
houn thinks, it is said, that, 10 the Mexican
government it will be acceptable, inasmuch d.
the terms proposed to her are perfectly just and
liberal. As to Mr.. Aimonte, Mr.. Calhoun has
said that he could not speak OF his views; but he
has said what was sufficient 10 shew that. in his
opinion, General Almonte was well disposed
towards the Treaty, The Generals converse
ton had made this Impression upon him. That
is evident.
Mr.. C. J. Ingersoll has made positive asser-
ton that Gen. Almonte had declared to him that
he was satisfied with the Treaty and gratifed
at it.
have no doubt that Mr.. IngersoN correctly
states the conversation of Gen. Almonte. 1t ac-
cords with the views have heard from various
quarters"

WASHINGTON CRY, April 80, 1874.
GENTLEMEN: have seen in the news
papers the published copy Of your commu.
nication to me, intended for the information
of the American Congress, and expressing
the desire of Texas to be admitted into the
American Union, and shall take pleasure in
using the original, whenever it shall arrive.
according to your wishes. ! say when il
shall arrive, for this original has not vel
come to my hands, and, therefore, canno,
now be communicated to Congress; and the
copy being published during my brief alb
sence from the city, feel myself laid un-
der the necessity Of giving public answer
to your letter, in order to avoid the appear
ance C a disrespectful inattention to your
request.
You have Judged rightly, gentlemen, in
addressing your communication to me, and
proposing to make me the organ Of your
wishes to the American Congress, being,
as / am, the first opponent Of the treaty
which dismembered your territory from our
Union, the first advocate for its recovery.
the supporter Of all prudent measures for
that purpose, the enemy of all movements
which would involve the question in sec
tional OF partisan politics, and the firm be-
lever in the speedy and happy recovery q
the dislnembered territory, and the mutilat-
ed rivers, if the question could be kept free
from improper connexions, and confined to
the patriotic basis Of nationality and honor.

Virginia.

We believe it is certain that the wings have
elected enough of members to the Legislature in
Virginia to give them the majority on joint bal
lot. BAyLy, dem. and GoccrS, wing, are elect
ed t. Congress. The popular vote is said to be
decidedly in favor Of the democracy. For in
stance, in the district 10 which Bayly is elected
to Congress, Harrison's majority in 1870 was over
l40O; now there is a democratic majority Of
near 100.

trary, the close observer would see a very
different picture. He would see the pro-
ducts Of our soil passing to all the coun-
tries Of Europe, exchanging into fine fab
RIGS, and these returning in the ships Of
many nations, our own predominant, to the
city Of New Orleans, and thence going of
in small Mexican vessels to Matamoras,
Tampico, Vera Cruz, and other Mexican
ports. The return from these ports is in
the precious metals; and, to confine myself
to a single year, as sample of the whole,
it may be stated that, of the ten millions and
three quarters of silver coin and bullion re-
ceived in the United States, according 10
the custom-house returns during the last
year, eight millions and one quarter Of il

It has become the cntrepot Of this trade;
