ton, upon the reception OF the news of the tina
passage Of the annexation resolutions by the
American Congress, fired a salute of 100 guns
and held public mecting-at which General
Memucan Hunt presided-and adopted long
preamble and a number of congratulatory re-
solutions, in which they hail with "hearttcIt
JOY the responsive invitation Of the American
people now extended to them" The efforts OF
Gen. Jackson, John Tyler, John c. Calhoun,
Senators Mcrrick, Johnson, Henderson and
Walker, and in fact all the prominent leaders
IN carrying the measure through Congress, are
applaudcd, and particularly Mr.. Calhoun, who
is styled the "Aiax TeIeman of the true Anne
| rcan policy" who "will not be forgotten in
lSiS." President Folks remarks on annc1a-
| ton, in his inaugural, are chcerfulIy responded
to, and commended to the attention of the Ex-
ecutive of Texas. President Jones is recon-
mended to call an extra session of Congress TO
ascertain the will of the people in regard to the
resolutions, as well as to form a convention to
carry them into effect. A resolution was also
adopted to have general illumination of the
city on the 22d.
A majority Of the Texas papers, as we'll as
the people, appear to favor the annexation re-
solutions, but many of them apprehend serious
opposition from the executive of their own
country, who appears not to be so favorable to
the project.

The BAKERS. The journeymen bakers OF
N. York have taken a stand against the msera-
bly, low wages meted out to them by their en-
