We see Illuminated to the 'American,' 1--WE know
not with how much truth) that MacCabe had pro
cured the names of the democratic members Of the
Legislature recommending him TO office at the
hands OF the incoming administration. We can
scarcely believe that members would use the inhu-
ence their station gives, to perpetrate this fraud
upon the administration; II is too monstrous. Bu
If such is the case, we know the people of our
own section, where he is both morally and politi
cally known, viii not hold those guiltless who, in
their representative capacity, have so abused the
trust confded to them.
With his usual baby righteousness the editor oil
the American alludes to ourselt in connection with
the matter. II is but just to our friends here, and
citizens generally, with whom we think the selecting
their officers should alone rest, to state that We
had no hand IN procuring the recommendation al.
uded to, nor did we know such thing WINS in
progress until the names were received. We feel
obliged those friends who took an interes. for us
and are gratihed by the personal regard manifested
bnt as we said before, il is mltter belonging 10
our own people, and there, so far as we are con.
cerned, we want II to rest. But had we entertai-
ned ever so high regard for the recommend, as
coming from the Legislature, the ca virtue oil
that body, in the matter Of recommendations, as
manifested in the case of MacCabe, would have
derracted much from Its value, and had it not pa
sed from our hands, we should be disposed 10 put
it IN the stove without ceremony.

COMMITTEES, reported that the Fertilization
Bill from the House, with amendments !;
and the Post Office and Revolutionary Pen
sion Bills without amendment.
Mr.. Benton spoke in the Senate, and
threw himself upon its indulgence, to allow
the bill heretofore submitted by him for the
annexation Of Texas 10 be taken up; which
was granted.
Mr.. B then moved TO lay the bill on the
table, and asked that the notice might be
dispensed with to enable him to offer sub
stitute, which was also granted. Mr. b .
then briefly related the outlines Of the new
project he was TO offer.
Texas TO be admitted as State,-
with two Representatives and two Sena-
tors, and all other advantages which apper-
tain 10 the old States as soon as the terms
shall be agreed upon by the government OF
the Unitei States and Texas; that the sum
OF 500 ,o0) be appropriated for The expen-
ses OF commissioners to be appointed to
settle upon terms, either TO be submitted in
he form OF treaty, or in articles TO lie
submitted by the President 10 Congress.
This bill Mr.. Benton enforced, as accord
ing with the action Of the government here
to(ore, in reference TO its negotiations with
fore gn governments. 1t was also making
this great question a national instead of a
sectional question. The various mpnr-
tant objections to the joint resolution passed
by The House, were stated by Mr.. 3. and
he concluded with expressing his belief.
that shauld those rasal"iiooe be, parfacieJ,
Texas weuld never give her assent TO the
propositions they contained. He would not
move The reference of his bill TO the COM
mittee on foreign relations, but moved that
it lie upon the table, when ii could DO call
ed up at any time.
A motion for referring this bill with the nten-
lion OF killing it was defeated by vote of % TO %
