bill.
From the Barre (.Mass) Ga1sas.
We are for annexation, at as early period pos
sible, and for own part, We hope II will be accom-
pshed without regard to the threats remoDsrsnce
Of any foreign power. There is no reason for the
measure, which does no, call for il now strongly
at any future time. We wisdom in
rounding il with conditions and proyisoes
the question is simple one and if there any in
superable objections they result from annexation in
itself and not from its connections. We not able
to understand how any restrictions be placed by
Congress on the institution of slavery. The same
constitution must extend over the whole Union, and
while the present constitution is in force the subject
must remain entirely with the respective States, in
whatever manner the territory Of those States has
been acquired. The people Of Texas must take the
responsibility Of their domestic institutions themselves
The northern portion Of their Territory will be settled
mostly by emgrants from the free States, and will
naturally become free State, without the provision
10 Mr. Benton's bill. That annexation will strength
perpetuate slavery cannot be established by any
sound reasoning. Mr. Calhoun puts it upon tho
tanning controlling power in Texas, and not the
direct influence of annexation itself He does not
assume that the will perpetuate slavery, but
that it will prevent the unwarrantable and dangerous
interference Of foreign power And against any
such interference we trust all parties would unite
From the NJ Y. Sun.
Cannot the patriotic press of the United States of
both parties at into the design Of Great
Britain and seeing those designs unite in s.lid pha
lanx in sustaining the immediate rights and positive
interests of our country Will members of Con-
gre.. lock at this question before them in thi, light,
and they cannot fail to arrive at safe conclusion
Mr. Monroes letter so long considered a guide for
this country, in foreign intercourse should be
tensively rePublished at this crisis, as forming the
basis of foreign policy. Tho British press have
| been loud and inhammatory in their condemnation Of
Mr. Calhoups letter to MIR. King and for the simple
reason that the whole British policy towards this
country was laid bare and probably exposed in that
letter. and yet certain journals without intending to
cooperate with the British pres, Inadvertently joined
in the ctnsure and they nooting the question at
present whether the Secretary of State shall be per-
mtted to continue in the Cabinet, instead Of solicit
ting him a, favor to remain in position where he
has the entire subject at command. If England as
sail prominent statesmen, must be owing to the
fact that they sustaining american, not British in
tcrcsts, and we should be cautious how far we are
induced from local feelings 10 cooperate in carrying
out the views and endorsing tho opinions of England
at this crisis.
From the Boston Democrat.
We declare, them with the frmest conviction of the
truth Of the statement, that New ENGLAND Is IN
FAVOR OF THE REMUNERATION OF Texas TO THE UNI
NED STATES. The leading wings cannot make any
Roadway against the measure The people demand
it, and they require their representatives Congress
to carry out their wishes by doing all in their power
for IMMEDIATE ANNEXATION.
From the Pennsylvania Argus.
Why is there delay in the execution of the e1-
pressed wish of the nation with regard to the annex
alton of TeIas' Is there any doubt of the will of
the people' None such is not pretended. 1t is a
fact beyond all doubt, that very large majority Of
the American people desire the immediate anne1a-
lion of Texas. They have shown so by their votes
-tnc Legislatures VI many VI tnc otaes nave IN
,tructed their Senators upon this subject Mr.. Tyler
has recommended it, and thus both the Executive
and the people have demanded the instant enactment
of the measure. Why then is this delay What
excuse can be offered for the dilatory manner in
which the question has been treated What gain IS
to be anticipated from the presentation of so many
"schemes" and the endless harangues thereon? Ger
tainly to poor comprehension, there appears to
be only object IN view among 'hese men, and that
Is procrastnation All that can be accomplished by
these efforts, will be 10 defeat for time the will of
their masters the people; but there is doubt but
that the popular wish whose voice has been thus out
ragged will resent the defiance Of its power and &C.
complisb the desired measure in manner that will
not be satisfactory to the men who have dared to
attempt 10 thwart the desires Of the nation
