said resolution was final and conclusive -Tsi,eraph
The great measure of annexation may now be re-
garded as accomplished beyond all peradventure.
The qualification which all intelligent and patriotic
men on both sides Of the Sabine will experience at
TINS result, must be heightened IN no mean degree
when they reflect that II has been brought about by
peaceable means; and that the probability is remote
OF its being followed by rery serious consequences
from any quarter. They may likewise look for the
speedy realization OF those happy effects upon our
internal and external relations, which stimulated
their exertions for the accomplishment of the meas
ure We are now beyond the reach of harm from
England, France, or any other European power,
whose jealousy of our growing greatness and hosti
ity to our institutions might induce them to profit
by the opportunity to injure u.s. The accomplish
ment of annexation disspaes the fears Of disunion,
which the preponderating influence of the North
gave grounds to fear. The South will now be able
to restore the equilibrium Of political power in the
national councils, and maintain in their integrity the
salutary compromises of the national compact. Few
measures have engaged the attention of the Ameri-
can people, which were franght with more momen-
tous consequences To their welfare than that of an
nexaton; and the occasion of its accomplishment is
indeed subject for general low and tri,1mnh

this connexion to be compelled to notice the state

10 the grounds upon which it alleges Major Donel-
son rested the annexation measure Ii is therein
asserted that the Mexican treaty was the means Of
his offering better terms to Texas than he otherwise
would have done. This is so obviously untrue,
that it is hardly necessary to give il denial. An
accusation SO indicative of hostility to the Amer
lean negotiator, would justify the belief that
it sprung from an hostility TO the measure which
he was SO instrumental in efectng. The grounds
upon which he invited an acceptance ofth annexa-
ton resolutions by the Texian government, are sta
ted in his letter TO Mr. Allen, Texan Secretary of
State adj intertn, under date OF March 81; and we
are not aware nor DO we believe, that any new ea-
ture was subsequently added to the propositions
