Thi, subject is now fairly before Congress. The
advocates Of immediate annexation, since the deela
ration of Mexico that she will never give her con
sent to annexa' ion, and the unfriendly disposition
manifested by that Government toward this country,
have additional motives and arguments for pressing
il for ward at this time. As Mexico says il shall
never be done with her WILL it is folly to delay action
on that any other account, as probably before an
other session of Congress is held circumstances may
occur to retard the for years. or defeat 1t al
together. Rather than run such chance, we would

she can to prevent the contamination OF this mea-

Texas and this country Texas is ready and willing

Those credulous persons who have been confding
IN the wise conjectures and predictions of the ~hg
Washington city letter writer's, have been greatly
disappointed that Mr. Tyler did not recommend
Congress to declare against Mexico for insulting
our Minister, Mr.. Shannon. Indeed, some of them
still stick TO it that the message is all ,car message
except the tail They affirm that it has all the requ-
site form and qualities of war message except the
actual winding up recommendation. 10 war mes
sages ha, is very material part The fact seems to
be that Mr.. Tyler's enemies are determined to have
him always doing wrong in advance, and when he
dsapponts them and knocks up their calculations,
then they declare he ,ca, wrong, but somebody
to his relief and got him in the right track To our
mind. if MIR. Tyler had set down to write message
urging upon Congress immediate action on immediate
anne Ration, he could not have adopted more efec-
tal course than that taken in his late message-the
reotals are altogether appropriate to precede the
Jealous recommendation of prompt action on the
Texas question We suppose very few grown per-
sous of sound minds expected war to be recommend
cd BY the President-but every body looked for a
communication to Congress which would show the
pressing urgent necessity of energetic and prompt
action on the Texas question.
From The NJ Y. Daily Piebeian.
For our own part, we agreed with General Jack
sop that the golden opportunity should not be lost
and with him we looked upon the rejection of the
treaty with pain and anxiety Objection TO minor de-.
tails of the Treaty should not have been considered
when national necessity demands sacrifice. II was
a fearful responsibility 10 vote against that Treaty.
Had Texas been uverrun by the hordes Of Mexico
had these barharians burned down its cities and villa
ges--hsd the brave Texans been slain, and their
men tortured, and their little ones left to perish
had hes. followed the rejection Of the Treaty, (and
they were not without the bound of probability D.

self preservation had thrown themselves under Brl-

For an age of Senatorial place we would not have
looked the people in the eye under such crcumstan

measure by the present Congress.
