TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BALTIMORE
CONVENTION IN FAVOR OF THE lMME
date ANNEXATION OF TEXAS
We make perhaps our final appeal to you. Ou'
object is to guard you against the snares which arr
now set 10 entrap you. Colonel Benton and few
others in the Senate have announced their open op
position to the Texas Treaty. The time for annexa
ton has not .yet come, according to them. Eaci
in the opinion that the proper time will come
The popular voice has spoken loudly in condemnation
of delay. Now is the time TO achieve this grca
measure. 1t must be done before October, when, by
the terms Of the treaty. il must be ratified rejected
Such is the demand made upon the Senate by the
People. Mr.. Van Buren, has committed political sui
eide by his opposition to this high behest. lie can
not it is said be nominated at Baltimore, although
the Convention was created for the express purpose
of his nomination. What recourse, then, is left TO
Benton, Allen Tappan, and others, who take ground
against the Treaty. What but to throw them
selves upon some other candidate who will pre-.
serve their party machinery with the Globe in the
control, and whose nomination would be equivalent
to the declaration that the question Of Annexation
should be postponed until the 4th of March, ls4S,
that tho present treaty might be thereby defeat.
cd Will they not resort to every in order to
accomplish thsi Will they not accept at the proper
fine, Of any other than Mr.. Tyler, and in
ali their movements have the cooperation OF the
Wings Is not the Globe, their mouth piece, en-
gagged daily in vituperation and abuse Of Mr.. Tyler
snd Mr.. Calhoun Do not the Wing papers join in
the chorus Do not these holy allies resort to every

Tyler, who, through his able Secretary, negotiated
the treaty. Friends of Texas be upon your guard.
Meshes are set to entangle your feet-,o cause yot
practically to abandon Texas through the nomina
Of some other than Mr. Tyler. To abandon the on.
y man who can do any thing to secure Anne alton
now, and select who cannot act until lS45 is a
practical abandonment Of the whole matter viii il
not be surrender of immediate Anne to do so,
Can any man doubti The ratification of the tire ATTY
must be exchanged within six months. If you NOM
mate General Cass, MIR. Buchanan, or any other
man than Mr.. Tyler, is il not equivalent to declaring
mat you desire postponement Of the question until
the 4th March, Of lS45, when such gentlemen NAV
como into power and resume negotiations In what
do all OF those gentlemen differ, in practical view
OF the subject from Mcssrs. Clay and Van Buren, p
at the present time Do any doubt that either of them
II elected would be willing to resume negotiations
Messrs. Cass Buchanan, Stewart, and johnson AVON
themselves in favor of immediate Ann, xation but.
in oonsentng to nomination. to the exclusion Of
MIR. Tyler would practically assume the same ground
oc, aoied by Messrs Clay and Van Buren, for neither
Of them would be able TO do more than to resun,

oaly TO Mr.. Tyler, ask longer your support of
the measure. We prefer to let il rest until new
man can take II up on the 4th March, ls45i What
other construction could be placed on the acti The
Wing party oppose the treaty, and the Democr attic
party, so far as their Convention Baltimore can
reach the object, concur in postponing ii. What nd
vantage is to arise from all this What will Texas
say TO III Will she agree TO Iinger on in
her present enfeebled and worn out condition for
nearly twelve months, then TO enter upon a new ne
