WASHINGTON, Dec. loth. lsH.
Dear GREELEY-We snail soon have bot work
on the Texas question. The Abolltioaists laborsd
so faithfully against Mr.. Clay, and for Texas acd
Slavery during the recent Presidential contest that
the Loco. Focos feel themselves in duty bound 10
extend the limits and perpetuate the reign OF human
Slavery.
Accordingly. TO day in the Senate Of the United
States, Mr.. McD affie introduced q JOINT resolution
for the Immediate Annexation o.: Texas 10 this Re-
pubic Il was referred 10 the Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
Mr.. Ingcrsoll has undoubte lily broached the SUBJ
iect IN the Committee OF Foreign A,irs, and tnink
| can prophecy thar, on Thursday or Fro Az nexi,
he will report resolution from that Com mi;;ee for
the immediate consummation OF the dnbailo"ed
unoa with Texas.
Bsnsoa has giyen notice that he " Ill introduce
bill and that 100, 10 morrow, for I 10 Annexation OF
Texas: whether nediat.ly or in medialely, YET Te-
maias 10 Do seen. Mr.. Bento is "a powerful: n!an,
and will certainly make hms If heard in he SENATE.
Mr.. Speaker Jones has tIrned pretty litde sum
merset IN the aPponuie'.t CT The COMMITTEE on O.
reign Affiirs. betiev he has been looked upon as
kind OF Van Bu.en Loco-Foco, but since The
election OF Polk ne seems 10 have turned right
about lace. Hsw else can We explain the strange
diff-rsnce between the present and past Commute Is
on FoTei IN Afairs, before which this Texas ques-
ton is 10 BE brought. Last session wh''c the
questo n whether Texas should be n Loco-t eco
princil Ils was under discussion The Countries
stood, three fer Annexation, and six against II.
Now, that same committee Is composed vi SIX Tor

As defeated ksnuciy's, the nations, the world
,urest statesman he stands by the cause OF national
honor and the Constitution He ard Sample OF
Indiana, and Winthrop cf Massachusetts, irpp the
East. Inc West, and the South the only three
wings in that committee, will oppose the Ieianous
scheme to the last. The Loco-Focos on this CON
fiay
been supplanled by these who go for our pation's
dishonor. Chariss Ingersoll, OF Pennsylvania;
Rhetr, Of South Carolina; Dawson OF LOUISIANA;
Hainnct, OF fdississippi; Baily, Of Virginia, and
Ellis, OF New. York, will all go for Texas and Sla-
yery and tn. last named gentleman will support 1t
US strongly IS any of his slsye.holdng compeers.
The Anr lexation question will be undoubtedly
carried in ,he House, because The Democrats, so
called, ha We there got majority; and wherever Lo-
co-Focoi .m prevails, there Tyranny reisns 100.
How il sill be in the Senate, il is hard TO Tell We
have en- Dir. Wright and Mr.. Tappan, Dir. Benton
and a 4 the other dough-faces, who pretended TO be
Anti Texas men, go In with Bifney 81 Co. for Po'k,
Am iexaIion and consequent Slavery. Now what
:urity can there be thar these men, who have voted
for Il candidate, whose principles they have openly
repudated, WON'T in turn, repudiate their own prin-
ciples!
