7Gbe Portage Sentinel.
RAJ E N Ma, OHIO:
Th N rs day, June l9, lS45.

There can be little or ne doubt but that
Texas will accede to the terms Of annexation
specified in the Resolution ons which passed
.Opr Congress last winter. Notwithstanding
Mexico, backed BY France and England, has
exhausted every means 10 her power to induce
the Texsns to refuse the terms proposed in
the Resolutions, there seems to be but one
wish among the people Of the Republic Of
Texas, and that is fora speedy Reunion with
the United States. Texans no longer, seem
&spo sed to confde in the promises made by
her former ally, though for the faithful OBJ
sefvance Of them they may have the plighted
faith of the two greatest kingdoms Of the
earth. No. They too well remember the
imprisonment Of their Agents and the treat
ment they received for daring to ask the faith
ful performance Of that contract by which the
country which they now iphabit became u
part Of the old Republic. They too well re.
member the causes which led them to declare
themselves a free and independent people.
Though the present Executive of Texas might
feel willing and anxious to accede to the
terms offered by the Mexican authorities. yet
90 strong is the feeling against any such
compromise, and in favor of annexation, that
there is not the least ground for the belief
that the measure Of annexation will be de-
feated.

gS- We do not concur in opinion with the Richmond
Times that the cost of transportation rail roads must
be greater Than canals because of the greater OF
constructing and of Keeping the roads in repair. The
immense travel upon them. and which rarely seeks
canal together with the large amount of tonnage at
raced to them by the greater rapid'y with which they
move, enable them generally to transport low
canal As we have not satisfied ourselves, however,
that the construction of rail road from James River

we feel particular interest in discussing the relative
advantages of the two modes of improvement We are
satisfied that the canal ought not to be continued the
