nobt to enter into further detail Mr.. Winthrop of
Massachusetts. said he could not suffer this
amazing avowal to pass without notice lie was
called TO order bv Black, of Georgia, who you will
recollect moved some weeks ago 10 tack the ad-
mission of Texas to the Oregon bill. The Speak
or. Of course. decided that Mr.. w. was IN order.
He then said that in view Of the rumors which
were abroad, the declaration OF the gentleman
from South Carolina assumed the most serious
character How did he kR0r that the anneXa-
ton Of another nation to this Union was the
settled policy of this Government - The peo-
pie of the United States did not know 1t, nor did
this House. But there was too much reason to
believe that secret and stealthy negotiation was
actually going on. He did not rise to enter INTO
an argument, but simply to declare that the
scheme referred to was utterly abhorrent to the
feelings of the people he represented, and big with
danger to this Union. Friendly as he was to the
Military Academy, if it could be made subservl-
ent to such scheme he would 90 with its ene-
mics and leve! it to the ground. The House was
in great commoton, and Holmes and Payne OF
Alabama, declared, aside, that the South wanted
the union ,cih Teras, but if they could not have
that, then Texas ,cHhOut the Uni0n This, you
may RELY upon it, is the determination OF the
former nufying party.
Tomorrow resolution will be offered, calling
upon the President for any correspondence which
has passed on this subject between this and the
Texan Government. 1t is expected that this
will test, in some degree, if not decislvely, the
sense of the House on the whole project
My own opinion is, that this question is to be
carried to the polls in the coming Presidential
Election. The opponents Of Annexation say,

We hear says the Newark Advertser) Of no
dissent from the Compromise from any part of
The State, except Monmouth-where we learn
by the Inquirer that the Tyler and Johnson dem
ocrats prevail. At their Convention Mr.. Ryall,
it is said, advocated the Compromise, but was
opposed by NIcssrs. Hartshorne, Parker and
Thomas E. Combs. Whcreupon the Convention
repudated the Compromise and selected whole
party ticket. The Wings, deslrous of avoiding
any party feeling or acts in reference to this i'm
portant matter, have wisely abstained from any
party selection of ticket.
The Election for the Convention will be held
throughout the State on Monday.
