| PUBLIC DEBT AND DOMAIN OF TExAs.-We
transfer to our columns an article on this sub
ject, from the Bulletin Of yesterday. 1t is under
consideration in the Convention eff Texas. The
question is very important one and requires
grave deliberation. JEFF Rep.

we'll ascertained that among the measures 10 be
recommended by President Polk at the next ees-
sion Of Congress, will be one to undertake the
settlement and liquidation of the debts Of Texas.
The proposition will be in the alternative, either
10 assume the Texan debt and take the public
lands, or to take the lands in ,rus. and pay the
debt out of the proceeds. In making the rec.
ommendation, the Executive is acting in good
faith by fulfilling the promises which Mr.. DoNEL

be but one opinion. The objection that it nigh,
