Interference of Great Britain in the con-
cerns of this country as regards its relations
with Texas, we have 1t in The subiOined
letter. which (athough written, as will be
seen from its context. In the interchange oil
friendly correspondence not for publicaton)
contains information of such vital interes,
to the country, that we cannot hesitate to
throw 1t before the public. The venerable
patriot from whose pen it comes, will, we
feel assured. pardon the liberty we take,
when he sees. in the article copied from
the London Times, what vast combinations
in Europe are contemplated to give effect
to the influence now at work in Texas:
HERMITAGE, January l, 1915.
Nv Dear Mr.. Blair:-l cannot forbear, on
this first day Of the year 1915, TO let you know
that am still in the land of the living, altho'
greatly afflicted and deblitated. My whole
family Join me in kind salutations to you and
yours, wishing you the joys of the season.
May you all live to see many happy new years.
observe that you have before Congress too
many Joint resolutions for the reannexation of
Texas. This argues want of unanlmlty In
the democracy upon this great national & most
important subject. have just received from
Maj Donelson, letter dated at Washington,
in Texas, from which would infer, that if
Congress expect to annex Texas to the u. S.,
they must act speedily, or it will be found to
be beyond our grasp. The rejection of the
advance of Texas has given offence to some,
and handle to others to press the liberal
propositions of England upon the Texans, to-
gether with the splendid view of Texas indie
pendence, growing into vast Republic, in
time to embrace not only the limits of Texas,
but all the domain once Montezuma's. This
view, to ambitious aspirants, added to the
guarantees of England of her independence,
and the loan OF large sums for ten years, based
upon Treaty that English manufactures
shall be free OF duty, is gaining party in Tex
as. General Houston is still the leading star;
and his influence alone can be counted upon
to resist the present influence of ENGLAND and
its increasing power How long this infu.
ence Of England can be successfully withstood
In Texas, is becoming a very questionable
matter. / have taken view ofthe whole ground
giving to all information its due weight, and
say to you, that, unless Congress acts upor
this subject promptly, Texas will be beyond
our grasp, and lost to the United States forev
er, unless regained by the sword. What will
be the situation of our country, with British
manufactures introduced duty free into Texas

be scarce; and, in consequence of the extreme warm

the price to advance very materially in New York.
