Bv the New York. which arrived this evening
having left Galveston on the Sd, we learn thai
the progress of The annexation question is steady
and uninterrupted. All doubtas to Iie decision
of the Texan Congress upon the propositions,
by the American Minister, Mr. Don.
elson, is al an end, The only bope of thoseaop-
posed to annexation, was through the action Of
President Jones, who, il was at one time coniec i
lured, would refuse 10 negotiate on the basis
proposed by the resolutions of our House OF
Representatives, under the expectations that, in |
that event, the President of the United States
would resort TO the Senate amendment offered
by Mr.. Walker Bat the public will of Texas
in favor of annexation on the terms proposed by
our minister has been so strongly manifested,I
that the Executive does not hesitate 10 carry III
out, aud il may soon be said that there is pS OPP
position to the measure in TerdS!
Great credit is due to our accomplished minis
ter, for the successful consummation ofths great
event. His able correspondence with the Tex
ian authoritics--hs personal excriions--and his
great moral influence were sensiby felt, aud his
name must always be associated with this great
movement,
/ Many contradictory rumors have been put
iailoa, relative TO the views Of Gen Sam liOustoE,
the most powerful man in the republic, who, il
was known, had been strongly urged to support
Mr.. Walkers amendment, for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning terms held to be more satisfactory 10 Tex
as, than those offered by our minister. But the
old friend of Andrew Jackson was not 10 be
caught in the snare thus artfuly spread by men
in the British interest. lie fully comedies the
necessity Of accepting the proposals just as they
are, and relies on the United States, hereafter,
to correct whatever injustice may have been
done TO Texas by the act of Congress. This is
a decision worthy the hero of San Jacinto, and
highly complimentary 10 the magnanmy of our
nation. ....4.
We may then congratulate our country upon
the incorporation of Texas into The Union as sooE
as the forms usual in the admission of new States
can be complied with. Texas herself has no.
bly, resolved that nothing on her part shall be
} done 10 reopen the question in the u SIates.--
She will take the proposals offered by oui minis
ter, as they are, without dottng an j, or crossing
al. She will disregard the Suggestions of false
friends at home and abroad, and silence, by a
more unanimous vote than has ever yet been g-
ven on a debated political question, all doubts Of
> her attachment to the American Union. Thanks
=
The United States for this glorious RESULT! A
result worthy of both countries, and aftording
another brilliant proof of the wisdom Of that SOW
ercignty VIII ch in our ayStcm h1sbc carefully
withheld fiom both our federal and State gov
I ernmens. .-.r
We havo seen The people Of the United States
take the annexation question out OF party shack
: les, and demand its consummation in voice
| which neither the Congress nor the President OF
The United States could disregard. Wcsec, too,
the people of Texas, by movement equally de-
cisiyc, telling their Prcs'd4nt and Congress, to
: give thc finishing stroke 10 the great work, and
no longer to inquire in what light it may be re-
ceived by Mexico, or England, OF France. What
can be more sublime than such a spectacle!-'-
: When was there ever before, the union OF two
!, sovereignties, accomplished by process so ho-
I norablc to human nature! And yet there arc
those amongst us who would have changed the
character Of this spectacle, and denied TO ouI
, glorious Union this evidence of its capacity to
r extend its blessings. But thanks again 10 the
sovereign people of both The United States and
Texas neither the fanatlcsm of the aboli iJLsls
+ nor the contracted views of the old federal par
ty, nor the willy diplomacy of Great Britain and
France, have avacd anything in defeating re-
suit SO essential to the fme, honor and security y
