into the House, a joint resolution, for the annex

their own people. Let Santa Anna conquer
Mexico before he talks of conquering Texas.

/ There appears TO be a prevailing desire through
out the country that the present enormous rates
f of postage might be reduced. England has a.

and instead of diminishing, it has greatly in
