The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-05-19
From the N. o. Picsyune, May IL.
LATER FROM TEXAS.

The steamship New York, Capt Wright, arrived
here yesterday from Galveston, whence she sailed ON
the 9Th inst. She brings papers from Galveston
to the 7th. Among her passengers were MAJOR
Donelson, the United Sta,ss charge, and Gov. Yell,
of Arkansas.
Gen. Houston, with his wife and son, arrived at
Galveston on the Sd inst, from his farm on the
Trinity. He proposes to visit the seat of govern
ment of Texas, and will then come at once to the
United States-he being extremely solicitous to sec
General Jackson again before the death OF the
latter, which appears so imminent. He yields TO
annexation as a matter of necessity, If not Of
choice.
Mr.. Wicklfe, the ex-Postmaster General, was at
Galveston on the 7th inst.
Commodore Moore has involved himsolf in a con-
troversy with Gen. Houston, and publishes adj
dress to the people of Texas, in which he exposes
his grounds of dissatisfaction with the ex-Prcsdent.
He enclosed copy Of this address to the cx-Prcsi-
dent, threatening to follow it up with other expo
sures until he receive personal satisfaction for
the injuries which he thinks himself to have re-
ceived.
There is no limit to the enthusiasm of the people
of Texas in regard to annexation. The only trouble
with them appears to be, whether to moct in con-
venuon and form constitution for "thc Stale OF
Texas" prior or subsequent TO the meeting OF Con-
gress. This is fertile theme for the several edi-
tors. 10 show the disposition Of the President oil
Texas, we make short extract from the Morning
Star Of the Sd inst, published at Houston:
"We rejoice to say that we have the most positive
evidence that the President asd majority of the
members of his cabinet anxious to act with the
utmost harmony with the people, and will cordially
cooperate with them in their efforts to eonsummats
this great measure the earliest practicable period.
The Hon. E. Allen, the acting Secretary of State,
arrived at Houston on the 22d ult. The Telegraph
assures US that he an ardent friend of annexation
and is DESTROYS that ''the great measure should be
contaminated at the earliest practicable period"
The papers contain ample reports of public meet
ngs declarative of the feelings of the people IN re-
gard TO annexation. There il no occasion To give
these reports, so nearly unanimous are the senti-
ments of the whole country. The Texans already
regard themselves part and parcel of the United
States, and proud of the union, are only impatient
that any delays should be intsrposed TO its compile
ZION. Even the papers opposed to annexation but
nsnuate their objections; they see that il must take
place, and refrain from any open resistance to IT,
we can Judge from the tone of the press, and from
verbal communications, not all the diplomatic re-
sources of the world can sway at all the general
mind of Texas.
The papers have some rumou Of Justification to
the Mexican government in some Of her Northern
departments. The swish may be father to the
thought" in this case. We have probably as late
advices here to the movements of Gen. Arista AZ
have been received in Texas.
