WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. l5 1915.
Mr.. Rives occupied the attention OF the Senate
to-day for three hours, in opposition to Texas, on
the ground of the unconstitutionality OF annexa-
ton BY Joint resolution, and OF the Improperly OIL
pressing the measure al this time in any shape,
when so large portion of the North were decI-
dedly and bitterly hostile to il. He professed TO
be Texas man. if desire for annexation by
treaty made him one; but spoke as decldediy
against annexation as the Wings OF the House
of Delegates voted on the question oil inslruc-
tons. The speech proved that ne had taken Inc
acue" most admirably. II was literally splitting
. LONG hair. MIR. Choate has the floor for Mon
day next He will have difficult task in speak
ing to the constitutional question, If he holds TO
his own arguments Of last session, winch, you
will recollect, went to show, that the only proper
mode Of aunexing Texas was by loint resolution
not by treaty. The House are still hammering
away 10 Committee OF the Whole on general APP
preparation bills. News Of the action OF the New
Hampshire Democratic State Convention, called
10 consider MIR. Hales case was received today.
His name has been struck from the Congresslon-
al Ticket and that of Mr.. Woodbury., OF Exc
ter, substituted in its place. There was but one
vote against the change. :.
another canvass in our Congressional District
will be received with great regret by every member
Of The party there-yet no one can have the heart
to say nay TO his decision; for, at the close OF
Quarter Of a centurys yeoman service IN me

poor-when the employ menI 10 Tue uue b. - h;m
20 Democracy az wv would have secured supefabun;
dance OF wealth. One must be well acquainted
with the district TO know the value OF bis services
up TO this day. His simplicity Of manner ana
habits his soul-stirring eloquence, and his cease
less e1ertions in behalf of Republican principles
cause Federalists there to dread his influence as
the is said 10 dread holy water. They
will have a jubilee over their success in-li'eraly
starving him off the course know there is not
Democratic citizen-no, not one in the district
who would withhold from him the well-earned
salutation n "well done thou good and faithful
servant"

THE ENQUIRER.
Richmond, February 90.
FROM AN ENLIGHTENED OBSERVER.
To The Editors of the Enquirer:

AohiNGTON, FeD. lain, lS40.
have just left the Senate Chamber, where
heard from Mr.. Buchanan, upon the Texas
Question, the speech Of patriot and statesman,
as he emphatically is. He goes decidedly for the
resolutions OF the House OF Representatives; and
showed most concusively, that they were preiera-
bic 10 any other plan, as yet presented. He de-
monsrated, that they ohviated almost every OBJ
lection heretofore raade TO The annexation OF Tex
as, and exposed in mastery manner the futiity
OF the objections to those resolutions, growing out
of the constitutional powers of Congress and the
provisions of the resolutions themselves.
never listened, in my life, with more pleasure,
10 any lhing than did TO his remarks on The sa-
very question. He said, lha, that question had
been settled BY the fathers Of the Republic, in two
compromises.-,he compromise. Of The Constitu-
ton and the Missouri compromise and he was
willing to abide by them, and desired no new COM
promises upon that subject. He asked no other
division OF the Texas territory, with regard 10
slavery, than was made by The latter compromise
and, in his opinion none other was asked BY
any other persons at the North, than 'the mad
Aboitionisis," as he termed them.
In what noble contrast does such statesman
stand, with your miserable, intrgneng politi-
clans, who, in place of strainns every nerve 10
promote the best interests of the country, by car
rying so great measure as the Texian annexa-
lion, undertake 10 make it subservient 10 mere
paltry party management!

The House adjourned.

Mr.. FosTER's FACTS AND INFEREScEs.-Mr
Foster, in his letter TO the Richmond Enquirer
declares, that the copy of letter which he pub
fishes from Mr. Robinson not only proves the IN
reference Of Mr.. K. in the election OF Senator
"but also Of MIR. Wright
This assumption falls TO the ground, when
connected with the fact that the letter of Mr. Ro
binson was not shown to Mr.. Wright or lis con
tents made known TO him in any way, until they
were communicated by Mr.. Foster himself
through the Richmond Enquirer:
Mr.. Fosters statement, that Mr. FlaSg circu-
lated copies Of Mr. Pobinsons letter is untrue;
no copies were made by him, or authorized 10 be
made. and the one sent 10 Mr.. Foster was sur
replitiou>Iy obtained, and the story about copies
having been circulated, was raised 10 cover W
this transaction.
Mr.. Foster asserts, that Mr.. Flass's name
twill probably be presented 10 the President Tor
sea. in his cabinet This profitable presenla-
lion is evidently assumed, 10 make point in Mt
Fosters case.
!, is well known at Albany, that The opposl-
ton 10 Mr.. Foster grew principally ont OF his
peryerse course in Congress in 1887, in votir3
ior The editor olihe Madisonan as PRIMER 10 Con-
gress. in opposing The Sub-Trcasnry, and almost
every soard measure which Gov Polk and Mr..
Wright we're then laborng 10 establish
