CHEERING SIGN FROM TEXAs,

We copy the following paragraph from the
Nachez "Free Trader" Of the 2fith March
We view it, as the Editor OF that paper does as
an auspicious indication particularly when il
is said, as that Editor was nol informed atthe time
ofwrilng it, that Mr.. Kaufman, Gate of Missis-
sippi) has just been appointed Charge iom
Texas 10 the United States
"Some anxiety exists in this section Of the
country as to The probable course OF Texas on The
subject OF annexation, as contemplated BY The
Joint resolutions which have passed through our
Congress. We think we can safely answer that
she will readily accept The terms proposed We
are The more inclined 10 think 50 from The peru
sal Of a report made 10 the Texan Congress at It's
late sitting by Col. David s. Kaufman, formerly
a member ofihe Legislature of this State now a
Senator in the Congress of Texas, in which an
nexation is urged on almost anyterms that wonld
not compromit the honor of that country. This
report was unanimously adopted and 800 copies
ordered 10 be printed. This is sufficient indica-
lion We think that she will readily accept the
Joint resolutions OF our Congress- and in less
than six months, raise the American standard
on every batllemen dome and spire Of the lane"

In November last, you contributed your aid in
defeating the election Of Mr.. Clay. The princi-
pies Of Democracy triumphed, and Mr. Polk was
elected BY large majority. His administration
has Just commenced, and under suspicious cir
cumstances If fairly sustained nor, by the con-
fdence and supper, OF those who elevated him TO
power, his administration will rebound TO The
prosperity OF the country and 10 his own fame
On The other hand, what can be expected. il The
people OF the United States should permit The Ee-
dera Wings to obtain majority in The Senate
OF the United States and the House OF Repre-
sentalives7 Nothing but evil and mischief. In
vain may we expect 10 see the present high Ia
riff reduced 10 fair standard Of revenue; in vain
expect 10 see Texas cordially welcomed into the
Union. Look, for instance, 10 the declarations
of hostility towards annexation issuing from The
lips of Mr. John NJ. Bots and many other Wing
aspirants in Virginia and elsewhere. Remember
that Mr. Winthrop OF Massachusetts informed
distinguished virginian, week or Two ago, that
The enemies Of Texas would make desperate
struggle agains, her admission, when her Constt-
futon should be submitted 10 the consideration OF
Congress. Read the speech delivered BY Mr..
Giddings Of Ohio, (ano,her Whig,) in the House
