ANNEXATION OF TEXAs.-There is Doubt
less great majority of the loco party in con-
sress who will sanction annexation. From
the north, the New Hampshire delegation
have already been instructed to vote for it

Mexico weakened as she is hv intestine de-
visions aud willing to concede every thing on
condition Of no annexation to the United

peace.
1t is said that Calhoun ard other friends Of
annexation are straining every nerve for sue

visits to influential whis members from the
South to make them believe that such
course will result benifcally to the couutry,

But our readers must know that a deadly
