all Right Tsras in Blase,--The Rec
River Republican on the 29Ihe nlt states
that gentlemen direct from Texas, and
from the mos, thckly settled portion:
Of it, passed down on Thursday last
They represent the country as in perfect
blaze of 10y and excitement, at the pros
pect ofimmedate annexation. When the
news of the passage of the Joint Resolu-
ton through both Houses of Congress
reached San Augustine, cannon were
fred and public meeting held, to ex-
press the pleasure every one felt, at the
assurance that Texas would be admitted
to close cornmuuon with the sisters of the
Unon-,hat she would once more be
found in the family circle, from which she
was driven by distinguished federal chieI
who at Client was willing to surrender The
navigation Of river that bears on its bos'
ON the commerce of a world, for mess
OF Goldfish!
A gentleman of undoub,ed veracity, well
known to many of the citizens OF Rapldes
and shrewed and intelligent observer OF
the passing events, asserts that the feeling
in the young republic is almost unanimous
in favor of annexation His acquaintance
is very extensive, comprising several men,
bers If President Jones cabinet, and he
saws that he does not know Of half doz-
Gu settlers in that fair lano, who are OPP
posed TO placing the lone star on the banner
of our country, on the terms proposed by
the Joint Resolution. The opposition Of
ex-President Houston, he says, or that Of
any other man or clique in the country,
would be absolutely contemplate, strong
as is the feeling in every quarter for the
consumation Of the labors of love, of the
patriots Of both countries. Faction dare
not raise its gorgon head TO breathe forth
ana,hemas against this master stroke OF
policy, and the harpings of aspiring dema-
gogues in Auslin's land will be as the fit
full murmur Of the breeze through the
branches Of some giant pine, which has
stood proudly up for an age, against ele-
mental strife.
Equally futile will be the Mawworm ex-
horta,ions ofthe small fry pay'hlngs Of
Ambition, should they have the temerity
TO take Quixotic stand agains; the rush
ing tide that envirous them
In the opinion of the most intelligent
citizen of Texas, say our informants, the
lands unsoId will when brough, into market
pay the actual debt now due, and leave
large surplus in the treasury. There are
vast tracts Of country yet UNEMPLOYED,
which can rot long escape the keen scru.
tiny of the hardy, enterprising emigrants
who will now pour into the garden of A
mcrica, under the ngis Of our glorious
standard-sheet. Sunshine is now dispel-
ling the cmeran clouds which for SO ma
ny weary years have darkened the frma-
ment of Texas, and in few short months
her voice will be heard in the councils Of
the free. She will be an integral portion
of a country that acknowledges no rival
her sons and daughters will mingle in
sweet harmony with relatives and friends
who benz the knee only to God-beard-
ing the ion Of Despo'lsm in his den, and
commanding the admiration oflhe world!
Beautiful are the lines Of England's way
ward son Of henins--
----"One great cline,
Whose vigorous offspring by dividing ocean
Are kept apart and cursed in the devotion.
OF Freedom which their fathers fought for, and
Bequeahed it, a heritage oil heart and hand,
And proud distinction from each other land,
Whose sons must bow them AT amonarchs motion,
As if his scnseess scepre were n wand
Full of the magic of expoded science
Still one great cline in full and free defiance
Yet rears her crest, uncOnquercd and sublime,
Above the far Atlantic"
There is one powerful reason, among
Others, which for a long time past, has ex-
erted an irresistible influence in favor of
annexation. The government has been so
s,raitened by pecunlary embarrassments,
large grants of land have been made to
German, Prussian and French capitalists,
to obtain money for pressing necessities.
These capitalists have taken into the coun-
try droves Of emigrans by no means Of the
best description. They have no knowl-
edge of the language or instructions of the
country-have no intercourse with the
Texans-and in some instances, are gov
erned bylaws oftheir own creation. The
old inhabitants have looked with Just alarm
10 the consequences that must inevitably
flow from such state Of things, WHEN it is
considered that in a very short time they
would be able to control the ballot-box.-
The prospect now is entirely changed ,
The emigration from this county, and from
the better portions of Europe, will give the
liberal and enlightened party in the coun-
try, due preponderance, and prevent the
success of narrow, canish and bigoted
views. Success to the youngest daugh-
ter of Uncle SANITY. Y Plebeian.
