DELAWARE.

The Legislature of Delaware assembled on the
18th instant, and organized by the choice Of DIR.
JOSEPH MAuLL to preside over the Senate, and
WILLIAM TEMPLE as Speaker Of the House of Re-
presentatves.
Ii appears from the message of Governor COOPER
that the finances of the State continue to be in a
prosperous condition. She is not only out of debt
but has surplus in her treasury. The message
espresso, qualification at the good which has result
ed from the Tariff of 1912, and laments the in.
creasing disposition to lawlessness, disorder riot
Reputation, and other kindred vices, which seem to
be sprnsing up in different sections of the country
but from which, as yet, Delaware has been happily
exempted. Her system of public schools, which is
now in successful operation in almost every district
in the State, is represented to be most sautary II
its character.

NORTH CAROLINA.

The Legislature of the Old North State has adj
journed sine die after session of ifty-three days
in the course Of which (says the Raleigh Register,
much has been done for the people and the State.
The bill to provide for the election of Lieuten.
ant Governor by the people, in the same way and
at the same time that the Governor is now elected
was rejected just before the session closed--eyery
Democratic Senator voting against it. This bill
was introduced for the purpose of enabling the
people 10 choose presiding officer of the Senate,
and thus preventing another such delay in the or
ganization Of that body as occurred at the com.
mencement of its late session, on account Of tie
between the two political parties.

"ANNExATIoNn IN MAINE.

Resolutions were introduced into the Senate OF
the State of MAINE on the 18th instant for declaring
that the Presidential Election had settled the ques-
ton in favor Of the annexation" of Texas, and
for nstructng the Senators and requesting the Rep
resentatives of the State of Maine in Congress to
give their support to an immediate annexation ac-
cordingly. These resolutions came up for conside-
ration on the next day (he eighth of january and
underwent debate upon motion to lay them on the
table, resisted by the advocates of annexation as
equivalent to rejection. The question, being taken
upon this motion, was decided in the affirmative,
by yeas and nays, "a votes to 4: so that the SEN
ators and Representatives from Maine are left at full
liberty to pursue the dictates Of their own con-
sciences and common sense on this question.

The Common,

We are glad TO see that an effort is making
to improve and ornament the Common. Al
ready a large number of trees have been set
out, and it is in contemplation TO enclose il and
lay it out into walks, &c., with taste, if the lib
erality and public spirit of our citizens will fur
nish the means. This, it would be an insult to
doubt. Small as is the Common, il would be,
If properly graded, enclosed and ornament
ed, place of great attraction and resort The
view from it is surprisingly fine. Its situation
is such that even in the hottest weather there
is refreshing breeze ever playing over it. A
small outlay OF money and taste would make ii
an ornament TO the place, and an honor to the
taste of its citizens.
by the way, somebody is guilty of great
negligence in leaving the cellar of the old meet
ing house in its present dangerous situation.-
Some accidents have already occurred, and
others may be expected
While at Townshend few days since, we
noticed that the beautiful common IN the CEN
tire OF that village had just been enclosed with
good railing, and set out with trees.
AT Newfane quite number of pretty trees
have been set out about the Court House, and
further improvements are in contemplation.
The city Of Lowell has recently purchased
90 acres fground for Common, at the cost
Of $4,000.

LATER FROM TExAs.-President Jones has
issued Proclamation converting the Texan
Congress on the 10th Of June next, to act upon
the subject OF annexation. II is said large
majority OF the people are in favor of annexa-
ton, and that the opposition is confined to the
capital.
II is announced in the Texan papers that the
new government of Mexico have signi6ed their
willingness 10 negotiate with Texas upon the
basis of independence. Final propositions are
expected from the Mexican government about
the middle OF June or LIST of July. Texas may
then choose between independence or annexa-
ton.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1845-05-09

ert all the influence he can control to ensure its sue
cess.
The Mexican press is very free with its comments
upon the present state of affairs, and is generally in ia
vor of immediate and warlkc measures. There is evil
IDENTITY deep feeling upon the subject among the Mex
leans generally and readiness for extreme measures
In the mean time movements in Texas have excited
not little interest among the friends of annexation-
Cen Sam. Houston the Hero Of San Jacinto and twice
President of the Republic, has declared himself
opposed to annexation Mr. Ashbe Smith, Secretary of
State of Texas has just passed through this country
from New Orleans to Boston, on his way to England,
on special mission the object Of which has fully
TRANSFERRED, either in Texas here II is supposed,
however, that il is connected with the negotiation be-
tween Texas and Mexico for the recognition of the in
dependence of the former. British vessels of war are
passing frequently between Vera Cruz and Galveston,
and the British and French ministers in Texas Capt.
Elliott and Mons Saligny, said to be active and in
fuential opponents Of annexation.
All these events make statesmen fear that Texas
will slip from their grasp, after all the sacrifices of hon
or and princple) which they have made to secure its
annexation But dare not hope for fortunate an
event.
1t would indeed be somewhat remarkable if by the
absurd folly and gross wickedness which has character
lied our government in this whole transaction, we
should be plunged into with Mexico, without ac-
tuay annexing Texas. Yet this is possible although
not probable
