THE QUESTION

The impression seems 10 be pretty general that
this isthe great day for taking the Texas question
in the Senate Of the United States, and that this
day Texas will be admitted as State into The
Union What thrilling JOY will This event diff
fuse over America What immense results de-
pend upon that decision!
The hopes of Annexation increase every
hour at Washington. Letters from both parties
encourage the expectation Of success. The cor
respondent OF the New Journal of Commerce
writes =
"Thc Annexation cause has riumphed. After
all The scoldiDg, and threatening, and shifting on
The question, its strength has conducted il 10 a
triumphant result" Also
aArumor prevails in Washington that Cover
nor Wright, of New York, has yielded his oppo-
silion 10 the passage of lhejoinit resolutions in
the Senate. In doing so, il is said ne releases his
friends from their opposition also"
The Editor of the Tribune" now in Wash
inglon, writes -
SIf, then, the Senate is full, and all the Loco
Focos voc for Texas with three sort OF Wings,
the resolutions will he carried by 81 10 25."
