And, whereas, the Pr sidcnt of the L. States
has selected the first and sscond sections of the
Resolutions as such basis, and notified this Go

Here follow the resolutions passed by the
United States Congress for the Annexation of
Texas
And, whereas, the premises, requiring the so.
lemn delIberaton and action of the Representa-

Therefore, be il known, that |, ANsoy JoSrs
President OF the Republic of Texas, by virtue of
the power vested in me by the Constitution, do
by these presents, require that the Senators and

CoSesrss CONVENED BY THE President TO
CONSIDER THE ANNEXATION RxsoLurroNs.-By
New Orleans papers, of the o5th nit, we learn
that the force ofpublc opinion in Texas in favor |
of Annexation has compelled the President to is
sue his proclamation convening session of
Congress on the 18th day of June next. The
people are taking the matter in their own hands
and will scarcely leave time for Mr.. Ashel Smith
TO go to England, before they will probably have
the question settled.
At a meeting held in Washington county,
strong resolutions were passed in favor of i'm.
mediate annexation without reference to the
wishes or concurrence of any foreign or Europe
an pocer - and calling on the President to con-
vcne Congress Immediately.
The meeting also recommended TO the cit-
zens of the Republic in case the President did
not convene Congress, 10 meet as soon as posi-.
bic in Convention, 10 ratfy the Joint Resolu.
| tions ard form State Constitution Mr.. f. Al
len, Attorney General, who was present, object.
ed 10 the tone of the resolutions. Mr. Scurry,
| in reply, n'imated that the citizens of the Re-
public might yet become still more impatient OF
the delay of the President in convening Congress
and adopt measures much more violent than
those recommended in the resolutions. The re-
solutions were unanimously adopted. Gen NJ
Hunt, Dr. j. c. Chalmers, Judge Ewing, r. W,
Williamson, j. B. wilkins, and other prominent
gentlemen participated in the proceedings
The following are the resolutions
''Bc il Resolved, That this meeting approves
of the Annexation of Texas to the United States
on the basis of the joint resolutions passed by
the Congress of that country
"Be it Resolved, That the Executive be re.
qucsted TO use all means within his power to ef.
feet the annexation of Texas TO the United States
upon the basis of the Joint resolutions aforesaid,
with the utmost promptness.
BE it Resolved That inasmnch as the Co.
vernmcnt of the United States has given its ulti-
ma'um on this subject, that seer cy the part of
the Executive tends only TO embarrass this sub
ject without producing any benefca result
BE it Resolved That if the President of the
Republic does not convene the Congress on or
before the fourth Monday in June next, we, a
portion of the people of Texas, recommend 10
the counties throughout the Republic to meet as
soon as practicable, at any point that may be de
sgnated, in convention to ratify said Joint Reso
lutons and form State Convention
"Be it Resolved. That in the opinion OF this
meeting it is the duty of the President of this
! Republic TO consummate the measure Of Annex
> alton to the United States, without reference &c
the wishes or concurrence of any fJreiSn or Eu
) rop-nn pou'rr."
The President issued his proclamation on tn
following day. 1t is as follows the Presiden
' of the United States il will be seen having Sc

y tions as basis for the proposed annexation.

6S-The Muncy "Oive Branch" that hopeful
tinacity and assurance which can only be ac-
counted for by the private grief or disappointed
ambition of those connected with it, still con.
tinues its insane howlings against Gen Cameron
and the democratic members who voted for him
as U. s. Senator. If il were not for the impu-
dent assurance Of those connected with the Olive
Branch nothing would be more supremely ri.
diculous than the course they have pui sued in
stigmatizing, as renegades and traitors, the de-
mocraic members who voted for Gen. Came

to themselves, morally, politically, or in any
other respect We have stated before, that the
members iiom this county voted in acc ordaDce
with the wishes of their constituents and any
member who would have acted differently must
be either a fool or knave. But those connected
of the people should never be regarded when il
COMES into collision with the ntrgues of eau
Gus, or the interested views of aspiring politi.
ticans. And this they call pure democracy! ln
