eusr and very striking portion oil the address, sup

mtted the above observations, occasoheu 'he reJeo-
lion Of the whole affair."
We do not stop to crlic'se the proprie'y OF the
NATIVES which controlled those who expressed their
ooooson to this particular feature OF the address.
l'hs gist Of the opposition argument TO the wing
manifesto first proposed, seems to have been founded
uuon the alleged popularity OF Texas annexation IN
M The Sou,h-a popularity among the wings OF tha'
Ouar,er, very important to be considered. we ie!
The political morality of that sort Of resistance stand
.pon its own defence
But, in connexioRwth such party views OF erpe-
deney, taken by those who protested against ue
adoption Of the address with Its antiIexas FEATURES
we freely allow that patriotic reasons OF intrinsic
strength, urged by the same persons 10 sustain
the hostile attitude they took to the paper submitted
10 the meeting.
What are those reasons' Briefly to the effec''
that Texas annexation was virtually settled
tina, the country had long and profoundly
|been aSlthteu ny iHu' luSeaOst sA'e. $50 ~
ale Of the United States had, in the most
,neouiyocal and decided manner, declared in favor
of annexation that both houses of Congress, the
prover and acknowledged medium through which
IN. national appreciation should be defnitvey de-
l.red had formally, in legislative way expressed
ths popular wish upon the subject; that Texas had
promptly concurred in the terms proposed for her
admission Such were substantially the broad and
patriotic reasons which some Of the wing opponents
cf the New York address propounded in opposition
10 its adoption. These reasons were impregnable
They were such as every considerate and sober
minded citizen Of the United States should have put
himself under the most imperative obligations te
have acquesced in without a murmur.
What shall it be said that great national ques
ions are to have settlement and find no termina
ion' Shall the angry spirit Of faction and dog
ed resistance keep the country IN a perpetual tur
mol Of debate Is the known public VIII to en-
Ounter an opposition neverto be quelled' 10 wha
condition are we reduced, II the national voice
ronounced in trumpet tones, shall yet be unheeded
BY factious enthusiasts and blinded parnsanss
The people OF the United States nave declared
Psremptorily Tor the annexation OF Texas. ihof
