LETTER FROM MIR. WOODBURY..

TIE following is copy Of the plain, sensi-
tle, patriotic and frank letter written bv the Hon
Levi Woodbury. 10 the committee Of arrange
lncpts OF the late Democratic meeting in New
York, in favor OF The immediate annexation OF
Texas:
WASHINGTON, JAM 20, 1915.
Gentlemen feel greatly Obliged by your
kind invitation 10 attend the public meeting 10 be
held in your city, in favor OF the immediate an
ncXalion of Texas.
II is not in my power 10 be present on that oc-
casion, but do not hesitate 10 say, that its OBJ
ject meets with my hearty appreciation. The rea-
sons tor II, connected with our national detenceS;
with new markets for our manufactures; with
additional employment for our navigation; with
wider fields for our agriculture last, but not least
have been 100 often explained 10 require cxami-
nation now.
Beyond all these il is our constitutional duty to
prevent foreign influences from weakening or
endangering our national progress 10 those high
deStinieS on this continent which have been SO
rapidly developing during the last half century.
The measure, however, is exposed 10 defeat,
not SO much BY the want Of urgent reasons in
its favor as by the force Of sectional ealousies,
reinforced BY blind or shor-siehled fanalicsm.
The danger which is greatest is, from indirect
modes oi resistance-an assumed constitutional
scruple in one quarter, and an insidious amend
men: in another; or fatal delay Of action in
another, all protesting riendliness 10 annexation
on The lips, bat often, it is feared, cherishng hos
til,y in the heart. The best test OF sincerity, on
this occasion. in favor OF annexation, is action
deeds, rather than words-and, though honest
differences Of principle are 10 be respected how
ever lamented in cases Of such magnitude, vel it
is 10 be hoped, Than none, truly DESTROYS OF an
early remuneration, will be misled into any de.
lusve procrastination, which is likely 10 end only
in defeat and useless repentance.
But We must not despair OF The Republic. Pub
lie sentiment generally, is sound on this subject,
and The people at large are ahead Of politicians
in favor OF measure SO auspicions 10 the ine-
rests, honor and glory of the country. Let the
people continue 10 speak and act effectively on it
and annexation must he saie-anncxaion as ear.
" as practicable Enumeration, cIeditablc and use

whether Of foreign dictaion or domestic mach
nations. Respectfully,
