Texas now a State Of the United

The election Of James X. Polk, nomi-
mated exclusively on The ground that he
was an 1mmedlate aaneralionist, and
whose termination, if Mississippi has vo-
tee Tor him, is to certainty ratified by
the soTerelgn teope, makes Texas a state
OF tins Union. So consider the holders
OF Texas scrip; aud so consider the spe-
culst"rs of Wal! street, for while all Uni.
ted States Stock, have had a panic, Texas
stock has risen from 10 to 20 per cent
and Is now worth more than the stock of
MissiS 4 pi,-Ior the reason, that, it is ex-
ptctcd, the unl:ed 5 aes will pay the debt
of Texas, bat MT the dt6t of NIississippi.
IL IS supposed by some that the Wing
Senate will stop the annexalinn of Texes.
We have no such hope. 1t cannot be ex-
pert"d Ihdl Southern and So4ilh-Wes,et
" nag Senators are gong To sake their
popularity and political existence against
the annexation of Texas, when the great
states Of New York and PENNSYLVANIA
give into it. They masl yield now that
they are unsupported by the North, and
SO Texas becomes a part of the Unipn.-
For this, we are iudeb,e ed to that mad and
reckless body of fanatics, who, in the
North, as if in mockcrv, cal! themselves

New York into The hands of Polk, and so

tlEae have done more to prolong aud to
perpelnate slavery, than the real fren,s of
abb ll'Ion can get over for twenty years 10
come.
1t is true that there is portion Of the
5" called Democratic party in this State
opposed to the annexation of Texas, but
they are not reliable men The lash of

and lhey will then do the work of dogs.
