From the Boston Morning Chronicle
THE OUTWORKS LOSTlt
The following intelligence shows the desperate
driving of the villains who rule this republic The
main wall is lost. The shareholders have TO get
but one victory half as great this, and the
greatest crime ofths century is perpetrated. Then
we shall have the hungry holders of some 50,000,-
600 Texas scrip upon US, for if the Florida war
cost 40, 900, we may be sure that the Texas
war has not cost less than three times as much,and
there cannot fail to be nice little balance ofsolhe
50 or 60 millions yet to pay, over and above all the
land which was spent long ago. Talk Of having
gained a corner for freedom TO have extended
slavery one square INCH is damnng curse.

TEXAS THROUGH THE HOUSE
joint resolution for the annexation of Texas
to the United States was driven through The House
on Saturday by large majority, 1t is in a shape
which surrenders every thing to slavery, allowing
freedom but little corner of rock and raVlne in
the Santa Fee region, which never did and never
can belong to Texas This measure received 8
whig votes from the sayeholding States, viz.
w. Newton, Va; A. H. Stevens, D. l.. Clinch,
Ga; J Dellet, Ala; M Brown, J B Ashe, H Pey-
ton, w Senter, Tenn.
On the other hand, the locofocos who voted a.
gains it on account Of its ultra slavery character,
though protesting willingness to support bill
which offered fair compromise between freedom
and slavery, were

New York has therefore, the proud honor of
furnishing one half Qacking one) of the entire
force that could be rallied from the loco foco ranks
to oppose this open and undisguised prostitution
of the power Of the federal government, this pros
titution Of the interests and honor of the free
states, to the extension and fertilization of human
slavery. 1t is no light thing that compels New
York loco toco to break the party ranks, but this
was strong enough to do it-a sign of promise for
the future. On the other hand all the locOfocos
from the other twenty-five states gave but thirteen
votes for freedom.
What will be the fate of this joint resolution in
the Senate we cannot torelcII. We hope it win
be defeated
From the Journal of Commerce we learn that
the amendment of Milton Brown, a wing of Tenn.
was that agreed to, and reported by the committee
Of the whole. 1t provides for one slave state, and
four others to be hereafter erected, in which il
shall exist or not, south of the Missouri line, as
the people in each Of them may determine. The
Texas debt is not be assumed, hut to be paid out
Of the proceeds of the public lands.
Mr. Douglass asked Mr.. b. to accept modifi-
cation excluding slavery beyond the So deg 80
min.
Mr. Brown acceptedit.
When the committee rose and reported the bill
for the annexation Of Texas, Cave Johnson got
the floor and moved the previous question, which
& was seconded. The main question was then put,
aud the house concurred in the report of the COM
l milee, by a vote of ll9 to 101.
