col. RENToN,S PROPOSITION

We were determined Yesterday TO take, ana
NOT 10 give, the tone 10 public sentiment on his
subject (and we did mol, as strongly as We could
have desired protest against this extraordinary
movement atlhs critical period OF the question:
satisfied, as we were, that the Legislative Con-
ycnlion would express their opinions strongly IN
opposition 10 Mr. Benlon's bill we were mol
mistaken. When the Convention assembled yes
terday in The Capitol, the Committee on kesolu-
lions presented n series OF strong Resolutions on
the annexation of Texas, in relation 10 Inc
lodging course Of The Wings of the General
Assembly, and against Col. Benlon's whole
movement. These resolutions being drawn By dill
feren, hands, wanted that compactness and precls-
ion which are so essential 10 such compositions
They were accordingly submitted on the motion
Of Gen Wallace, the Chairman OF the Select
Committee. to a Committee olRevisal, who Will
repo,t 10 the Convention al 4 o'clock this eve
ming. Ii is sufficient 10 say al present, that put
one spirit appeared in the Convention on the sub
ject of this movement; and this was sentiment
of decided regret and disapprobauon OF H. as
calculated to battle the wishes Of the People,
and 10 defeat the great measure OF ahhexa-
ion. This feeling is expressed in the follow
inc general resolution, which was adopted by
the Convention, 10 testify their disapprobation;
until they could have an opportunity OF expressing
their sentiments more particularly, in The resolu-
,ions 10 be reported this evening. In fact, we
have not vet met with single Republican, who
does not deeply regret and disapprove Col Ben :
tons bill.
The same scntmen, seems TO be felt at Wash
inslon We have received a very able letter
from member The House Of Representatives
bu, too late for this mornings paper. II will ap-
pear tomorrow.
We are assured that Col. Benton will not
press his bill, il it should not prove acceptable 10
The Democracy. We hope, that superior TO all
minor considerations, and 10 all private feelings,
he will 90 cordially for the Resolutions of the
House, sanctioned as they already are BY ma
lority of 22-and acceptable as they are 10 the
Democracy of Virginia, and Of the whole South,
and respectable proportion OF our Northern
friends. We make a similar appeal 10 The able
Editors of the Globe. They are anxious for the
annexation of Texas, and they must see that it
cannot be effected by the bill Of Col. Benton.

An interesting letter appears in the Charleston
Mercury, from Washington, of the Sd install,
which gives us more conspicuous position on
the tapis oflhe day, than ne arc willing 10 occupy.
The writer refers 10 our remarks, prefixed 10 MIR.
Fosters letter upon RobinSon's Circular, and he
states positively that We are mistaken, and that
"Mr Robinsons conduct and proposition in the
House were supported by the body OF the New
York Delegation" He SAYS, further that Robin
sons resolution in The House, 40 give one State
and take the rest for the Free States" was sup
ported Gin Committee Of The Whole,) by every
Democrat but four from New York; and, further
that bul four from New lStk voted ior Mr. Mil
ION Browns, or MIR. Ovens, or MIR. Burkcs pro-
POSITIONS" Certainly nine OF the New York De-
mocrals voted ultimately Tor Browns resolutions.
And he says further, ''that The whole portion OF
the Northern Democracy intended 10 Kill anne xa-
ton" We trust, there is some mistake in this
and We are satisfied, that, if the measure should
fail from the want of their votes, il is calculated
TO weaken the strong bands which have hitherto

The South Will our friends in New York, and
in all the North, look al the terms OF Browns re-
solutions see upon whatiberal principle they pro
pose to adjust the Texas Territory, South Of 3Gl

they will possess to The North Of the Compromise
