From ,hs Washington 6lobs,
SENATOR BAGBY.

This gentleman noticed in the Senate to-day, Gas will be seen below,) lhe obnoxious misrepresenia- ton made in relation 10 him by the correspondent of the Richmnnd Enquirer We have no doubt that the editor of that paper will probably repair the wrong of which. in this instance, his influential press has been made the instrument.
 Mir. Bagby so lar from deserving such maesOent attacks IS entitled to the gratitude of all who are anxious for the admission of Texas into the Union. He, win several others, sincerely desire for this consummation al the earliest moment, believed hat the treaty y-makiig power mus, under the cons,ilu- Iion, cooperate to effect it. They could not there iore vote for the ion resolutions of the House aIone without violating the constitution they understo d t Without the votes of those of the friends of the measure who held this belief, il was impossible to iake the first step towards the admission of Texas Mir. Basby, with an honorable and fearless frank ness, took the responsibility OC laying open t0 ihe Senate the real difficulty which threatened the de. feat oi the great measure. He subjected himself to the misconstruction of his constuents-of the whole South and West-of all who favored the annexation of Texas, in laying bare his own heart, and expos. ing al the same lime the weak point in the cause which he, and others who entertained his opinions wished 10 adya, ce, but could not, in the shape it came, without committing perjury. In doing this he showed the breakers on which the hopes of the de mocracy were about 10 be wrecked, and in time to avoid them. Every friend of the unlon with Texas and the harmony al the democracy, now rejoices al the fortunate result of Mir. Bagbys explanations President Polk is furnished with means and authority, by Congress, 10 provide by treaty, or leg lslative compact, for the admission of Texas. Il the first fails, the other cannot if we do not mistake the complexion of the next Congress- and the cer iaInty of that fact may he inducement with sucl do not thIuk that Texas can be constitutional, annexed otherwise than by treaty, give their votes for II in thai form. Mr. Bagby voted for the Texa. | resolutions with view to their effectuation under the ueaty provision in Mir. Bentons bill, which was af he can tnta E,ri f And all who Can vote for the legislative annexation can take II in ihe treaty forn because it IS author lsed, m advance, by legislative enactment. If il come in the shape of articles of funon, to he passed upon by Congress, there will be majority in bot, branches ls carry the measure.
 AL therefore. who are willing 10 do justice to Mr Bagby, must tha' him for his manly and open course He exposed himself for the cause, and he saved the cause; and who tal is sincerely it's friend, can de- nounce him as it's enemy!
