the JniteU EdtCS, oil tt idatp den presented resolutions passed by the late session of the Ohio Legislature adverse to the annexation of Texas. One of the principal objections to the ad- mission of Texas, contained in the resolutions, m addition to what is said in the preamble to the same effect, is as follows:

 The political cast of the Legislature of Ohio IS known to our readers. How is it possible that the whigs of the South can longer oppose anneXatleh, when the opposers of the measure, in their deoa'eS in Congress. and by their resolutions in tine States base their opposition to it mainly on the ground ta- ken by the Legislature of Ohio as above given !-

 ANNEXATION OF TExAs-Thc resolutions pro vidng for the admission of Texas as a State, which have passed the House of the Congress of the Uni ted States, may be found in another place, inst as they passed, with the exception of alteration pro- hibting slavery north of 36 degrees 30 minutes north latitude We would have preferred the Resolutions without this restretion-Ieaying the existence or non-existenee of slavery in that portion of Texas to the determination of the people who may settle and improve it, as question properly local in it's character. The great body of Texas, however, and nearly all of it that is valuable lies nortlf of 3630 and the restriction is not very important The fate of the measure in the Senate, seems to be vet doubtful. We have received another letter from Col Ashley, since the passage of the Res olutions ia the House. He says:-.' Great doubts are still entertained as to its (annexaon) fate in the Senate Though since it has passed the House, by : 9 majority, the friends of annexation greatly encouraged"
 The passage of the all-important resolutions de- bends entirely upon the votes>of few Southern wings, who are bound by every consideration to vote for them. Can any Southern Senator, after the overwhelming vote of the people in favor of imme- , diate annexaten, vote against it? Wo be to the man who does it. We have strong hopes of being
 able to announce to our readers in the next number
 of the Banner that the great work is donc-that Texas is anneXedi
 TALES OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS. The following is one of the many unfounded stories matched up against foreigners by the Nati vists.
 The charge is that Dr. STEELE, member of the late Legislature of this State was at the time o ta
 king his seat an unnaturalized foreigner. We arc authorized to give fiat contradiction 10 this state ment; and We state upon good authority that Dr. STEELE had been regularly naturalizcd, and had his
 certificate to that effect, before taking his seat.-
 The correspondent of the Courier states that the Doctor is '.ioco6eo ia politics" Aye and in that
 lies the secret of the above story, whether made by
 the said correspondent, or his ininrmants. The said correspondent had as we'll keep his name
 in the dark and the of his iniormauts, if he has any.

 s Allthe officers of the State profess the most profound ignorance of this dedication; none can tell whathas become of this large amount money; and the Governor is in the greatest possible distress, having, without thorough investigation, given the past administration a full receipt for all moneys in the Treasury, including this deficit of S75,000
 We learn that Governor Owsley has sent special naessage to the Legislature on the sub Ject of this heavy robbery of the peoples money.
