For the ReRisIer and Lnnrnnl.

IT the correspondents of the Advertiser are to be believed, the whIg candidate for Congress in this district, "with consummate abllity," is avowing himself in favor of admitting Texas into the union, "because the people have decided in favor of it's ad' nission" And. strange to say the Advertiser itself, when asked to explain this singuary inconsistent position of its candidate, endorses hIs sentiments, goes in wholesale for Texas, and gives reason, it's determination 'tO submit the will of majOTi ty ofthe people," With audacity almost unsur- passed, il tel those who dare to question its con- sisency, that the wings are "law and order" par y-that as the people of this country and Texas too, have decided m favor of annexation, the whigs as good citizens submissive to the majority, though that ority consist of "unprnciped iocofocos. will raise no further obstacle to the annexation of Texas, and pledges it's candidate, if elected vote in favor of the "odious measure"
 This singular and bo d avowal astonisled and per- plexed me little when first appeared, and ask ed myself two questions list If the Advertiser and its "aie candidate" believed annexation grossly un- sonshtutionai, nexpedIent and unwse before the tact was consummated," what system of ethics can justify them in sancioning il after its accomplish mentl l always thought the ratification Of an act, after it was done was complete an approval Of Il, as the doing the itself. And cannot yet for the
 life of me understand the position assumed by the whg candidate and his expositor. Are we to un. dersand Them saying that because the majority of the people have elected JAMES K. POLK the Pres- den that therefore they approve the choice, and that the "eloquent candidaie," if elected, will sustain him by his votes so long as he is President Has not "the majority" spoken us strongly ln favor of MT. Polk, they have in favor of annexation, and does not the asule reasoning of the whig candidate and his press, coBpe him as lover of Claw and or- der" to sustain Mr. Polk in his measures, as much as il binds him to "vnte for the admission of Texas into the union' merely because the majority of the people have decided m It's favor?
 But have been led to ask myself another ques- ton on this subject, and that ls-is the act of an nexation yet consumnated! Do the whig party so believe! If Col Dunn should be elected, has he nothing 10 do but vote the simple question of ad- hitting Texas State into the union! lf the cor respondents and the Advertiser itself are to be beiiev ed, this the only question now 10 be decided, and
 the Advertiser boldly pledges it's candidate |" vote m favor Of admission. Now il becomes serious ques- t0n to know who is the exponent Of the whig party on this subject. Who has the right 10 speak author- iativey what tie whgs intend doing in Congress on this question? Is the Advertiser the organ of the party, or may not other counsels have weight. and other presses speak the voice of the whgs on this ponta Wha, say the wheak this district, and @ es, inc New York TriDunel Speaking in censure to such rema ks the Advertiser has made about tlie ''ac being consu,mna,ed,' &c. the Tribune says;-
 "We tell them again that the adsersares of an- nexatIon have not given up the coniesf, as they as seri, and will not give II up while we have gun which can be brought 10 bear. We shall make stand in Cong, ess on every inch of boling ground- the consum nation of the gigantic in'qay direct ly, the slave clause of the Consti uion o he ne State; and the admission into the Union ol each new slavehoIdng State, which may be formed from Texan Territory. Petitions from the people against admitting Texas with Constitution guaranteeing eternal slavery, will pour into the next Congress with milton of signatures. case will probably be made up for the Supreme Court to lest there the validity of an act which even the Courier declares violation of the Constitution Of course it has not shadow of ryhlisl lorcs; and We may fairly presume
