PATENTS.

The following resolution in relation 10 Pa
tents, was offered in the House on the l1h De-
cember, by the Hon. Zadock Pratt. Its import
ance to the artizan and mechanic will be seen
at once, as well as the impetus i, give, TO the
ingenuity Of our enterprising countrymen All
will at once perceive the value of the resolution,
and the benefits derived from having practical
mechanic, like Mr.. Pratt in the councils Of the
nation.
Resolved, That the Committee on Patents be- and
they are hereby directed 10 inquire into the exped-
ency Of making the necessary appropriation out Of
the Patent fund, to purchase ample collection of
scientific and other necessary books to provide for
the publication and distribution Of tho descriptions
and drawings Of the inventions for which patents have
been granted also what other provisions are necessa
ry TO give greater efficiency to the office, and more
perfect arrangement OF the models and drawings,
within the extent of the funds arising from pate hts;
and that the committee report by bill or otherwise.
The resolution was referred TO the Commit
tee on Patents.

INSTRUCTIONS TO COL. BENTON.

We subjoin the resolutions (adopted by a
large majority in both Houses) of the Missouri
Legislature, instruclng Col. Benton to vote for
the immediate annexation of Texas, on the
principles laid down in the Texas treaty
l. That in the opinion of the General Assembly,
the remuneration of Texas to the United States, is
great national measure, demanded by a large ma
ory Of the people Of this State, and that the safety
and interest Of both Governments require and de-
msnd II at the earliest practicable period.
2. That the Republic of Texas is free and in
dependent State, and that she acquired her ndepen-
dence and her territory in a manner which left no
stain upon the honor OF her people.
), That Texas has given the world ample and suf-
hc,en evidence OF her disposition ability to main
tain her Independence, and the exalted station she
has assumed among the nations of the earth.
4. That the government of Texas has the ndisputa-
bic right to transfer, and the government Of the Uni
ted States the right TO accept the territory Of Texas
| without the consent of and without giving any Just
cause OF offence, to any other power; provided how
ever that the boundary line between the annexed
rltory and Mexico is left open to future negotiation,
between the United States and Mexico.
5. That in the opinion of this General Assem-
bly, great majority Of The people of this State pre-
fer that Texas should be annexed to the Uni
ted States without dividing her territory into slave
holding and nons slave holding States, but leaving
that question to be settled by the people who now
or may hereafter occupy the territory that may be
annexed.
6. That the people of Missouri regard the annex
alton of Texas to the United States So essential to
the nteres Of this State, and of the whole United
States that rather than fail in the consummation of
this object if it cannot be effected in accordance with
the principles set forth in the above resolutions they
would consent to such reasonable and just comprom-
ses, appIoximating near possible to those prn
| lDdjsDensably %
the accomplishment of the measure and preserve the
peace and harmony Of the Union,
Z. That our Senators in Congress be instructed,
and our members of the House of Representatives
be requested, to use their best exertions in behalf
IF the annexation of Texas to the United States in
conformity with the wishes of the people of Mis-
souri,, as expressed in the above resolutions.
8. That the Secretary of State is tereby requlr
ed TO forward to each of Senators and Rspresen
tatves in Congress copy of these resolutions.

NOW OR NEVER

We received by last nights mail great ma
ny Texan newspapers, and from hasty peru
sal OF their contents, we are forced TO the con-
ciusion that arrangements are in progress which,
II consummaled, will close the door upon An
neIaion. Our only hope is that our Congress
will carry through the measure before the door
is closed.
The following paragraph from the Cirilian,
the official paper Of the new President, does not
diminish our gloomy forebodings:
"Unless we are greatly deceived in the signs of
the times, new and highly important question will
DC proposed for the decision OF our citizens and w.
abJure hem 10 advance TO give il that calm and ra
uonal confederation which lis Importance demands.
The question We think will be put in a tangible and
suthsotic shape, whether we will take an acknow.
ledgment OF our Independence from Mexico, coupled
with the condition that will decline the overture
Of annexation from the United States, or await tho
chances VI union with that nation.n
Mr.. Elliott, the British minister, had arrived
IN Texas but few days before the above oracu-
lar paragraph appeared aud the inference is
inevitable that the " acknowledgment from Mex
lco" is TO be effected by the Intervention OF
Great Britain, which nation will of course ap-
propriate to itself fall share of the advantages
resulting from the arrangement.
Will the American People quietly permit
Great Britain 10 snatch such valuable territory
from our hands

And ws believe il to be none other than this
the bringing forward Of measure which un-
luckily defeated the nomination of the Globes
fAvorite candidate. That is the secret. Mr..
Tyler will never be forgiven for ths, ACT. But
how could he know beforehand which side OF
the question Mr.. Van Buren, would espouse 2
And to add to the sbsurdily of his deep revenge,
II anything could add to il, the editor Of the
Globe has persuaded himself, and believes he
will be enabled to persuade others, that he can
also rouse the resentment of the President elect
(who certainly had no reason to complain
against Mr.. Tyler for throwing into the Con-
vention the Texas bombn!l
