unanimous public sentiment, has convoked Congress
TO meet on the 10Th June. consider the joint resou-
tons Of our Congress for annexation There does not

Public attention should be called 10 the condition
Of our liarbor. Unless some immediate and efl

whom it is entrusted by The laws, to prevent This

OF the laws on this subject but never yet have they

b. F. PORTER has written letter asking the
Withdrawal Of his name as the candidate of the " hi gs
for Governor Of this State. He gives lea SON
that there is diversity Of opinion among the wings
as TO the proper policy Of the party ut the August
election. The Advertiser in copying Mr.. PoRTER's
letter, descrlbes ii a withdrawal 'for the present,
only.
The difference among the wings is simply this:
whether II Is betIer 10 nominate wing or here
AFTER or whether ii is the better policy for them 10
wait Tor the democratic nomination in May, and see
whether more is not to be made by voting for some
Candidate proposed by the opposition to the demo-
cratic nomnee. The calculation appears to be that
the cnmil, to Col. TERRY, who in all probability
VIII he nominated by the ion, will produce
preach IN the party which the wings may profit by
encouraging. The Huntsville Advocate explains
very frankly its desire wait and sec whether some
portion ofihe democratic party will not offer can
didate for whom the wings can vote.
We think that whiygery may proceed to arrange
its own schemes without making calculation upon
democratic disaffeelion to aid them. The choice of
he convention will be the candidate Of the party.
and no candidate WIN consents to lend himself TO
break down his own party, by the aid Of the wings,
will carry away sufficient number to make himself
respectable ally.

In answer. the undersigned is instructed 10 cay,
that the admission of Texas as Of The states of
this Union having received the sanction both Of the
lie gislatiye and Executive Department of the Gov
ernment, is now irresocably decided far as the

fusal Of Texas to raty the terms and conditions
