TEXAN CONGRESS.

Report Of Me Committee on Foreign
Rsiatipns IN HE Senatp, on The sub
.ject of dnneration.
We have just received this report
a pamphIet"f twenty pages-to which
|fhe correspondence Of Major Donelson.
American charge, with the Secretary OF
State, is appended. We regret that
we cannot, this evening, present il en-
tire to our readers. The two first pa
ges, which we copy, will, however,
show the spirit and tendency of the
whole; and, as it was adopted unani-
mously, it caves no doubt of the dispo-
sitions Of the Congress and the people
of Texas, in regard to entering our
Union.-Globe. ~.
SENATE CHAMBER, Jan. 90, IS45.
To Me Han. K. l.. anderson, President
of the Senate:
The Committe on Foreign Relations,
to whom was referred the resolutions
adopted by the people Of Brazoria and
Austin counties, IN mass meeting assem-
bed, and the memorial of the citizens
of the county of Victoria all expressive
of lively interest in favor of the annex
alton of Texas 10 the United States.
and urging upon this Congress to use
all just and honorable means to con-
summate that desirable event, have CIV
en- TO the subject that candid conside-
ration which, its vital Importance de-
manded at our hands.
Although your comnittee are unan-
imousiy OF the opinion that the time has
not vet arrived when action on the part
Of the government of Texas would be
either appropriate or availing, and that
such action should first be had by the
government of the United States; ye,
fully impressed with the all absorbing
interest of this question, and willing to
cherish those noble impulses which an
innate the bosoms Of patriotic peope,
a decent regard for their feelings and
becoming requital of their confidence.
demand of US free and frank express
sion of our, sentiments.
The annexation ofTexas to the Uni
ted States, already emphaticaly wiiled
by The people of both countries, will,
when consummated, be among the most
interesting events recorded in the an
nails OF history. 1t will stand without
a parallel in political changes. 1t is true
that The chronicles Of nations are full
Of the change Of governments, of the
extension of empire, and of the parti-
ton of the weaker among stronger
powers; but this will be the first in
stance where, a free, sovereign and in
dependent people will have merged
their government in. another, by their
own free will and CONSENT Olherna-
tions have lost their separate and in
dependent existence, but they have fall
len before the bloody car Of conquest;
and have been appropriated as the sue
cessful spoils of ofambtion. They have.
only changed masters; and, in too ma
nv instances, have had substituted
more intolerable despotism than that
which preceded it.
But here, how different will be the
change; and how incomparably differ
entmust be its results! Our weakness
will become strength; our danger safe
ty; and desolaiion Of heart will be sup
planted BY the smiles Of Joy. In this
change, there will lie no compulsion-
no force-Ro rapacity desire for
|aggrandisement; nothing more nor less
than the stern desermInatIoa peculiar

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

The principal business engaging the
attention ol tpe legislature since the
passage Of Kelly'smonsler Bank, is sol

teresting to our readers.

G The present number commences
a new volume Of our paper. One year,
therefore, has rolled round since we
assumedthe control of public journal.
II would naturally be expected that on
this occasion we should make some
remurks in relation to our intentions
i,r the future. In former number OF
our paper, we told our readers that,
make or break, we should continue
another year; that determination we
still adhere TO-, notwithstanding our
support is very limited. We have Of
ten wondered how il is that the coun-
~ Of Harrison, with but little larger
population that this, can support four
newspapers, while we are unable to
make both ends meet > without any
opposition. Certainty il Harrison coun.
lty can support four papers, Monroe
can support one. Shell i, be said that
Monroe coun,y. with a population Of
over twenty thousand, cnnnot support
one paper? II not, let our present
subscribers assis! us in extending our
circulation. Were it moi that we are
ashamed To let it go abroad, we would
publish the number of our subscribers;
the sDalness of the number, we think,
would certainly induce our friends to
come to our assistance. y.,.,.
As heretofore, we shall battle for
what we conceive to be democratic
principles. Because James X. Polk is
president OF tie United States, it is no
reason why the democracy OF the coun-
try should relax single effort. Now,
AS at all times, will the money power
Of the country seek 70 gain the ascen-
lpncy in the councils of the nition.
When we have before US such bank
ing law rs that enacted by the present
Ohio legislatures becomes the bust
ness Of the Iaboring men Of the coun-
Try to look well to their interests.

THE BANK BILL.

The great fue-and shearing (inan.
ciering) scheme Of Mr.. Kelly, has be-
come the law of the land; and this bill
Of seventy FIVE sections. We promised
10 publish, should it be finally passed
Into law. Great Scott! is it possible
that we ever promised 20 publish this
law. Little did we think when we
made that promise that we should ever
be called upon TO fulfil it. We GER
tainly never thought the wings of the
Ohio Legislature would have the har-
dyhood to pass such bill. "But so
i, is, may it please your honors." We
think our readers will have to be salts
fed With a synopsis OF this law, which
we intend publishing as soon as we
can make il convenient.
