"rhe sRed River Republican states that a
gentleman of responsibility, well known IN IA
hides "a shrewd and intelligent observer OF pass
mo events, asserts that the feeling IN favor OF an
nexalion is almost unanimous Throughout IeAds
pis aconainrapce in that country is very extern
sive, including several members OF rresiue :,
Jones' Cabinet. and among tic whole body ol lte
neonle he does not know TAFT dozen, rho arc op'
noSed 10 he unon Of The ftco Republics on nc terms
ofihs limit resolutions. The measure is SO popn.
lar among the citizens Of Texas--so mingled
with their dearest feelings, that no man and no

Hrbis intelligence from The interior corresponds
exactly with the information respecting me man
ner in which the passage OF The annexation reso-
u,ions was received at Galveston Houston ana
oticr places on tic sea coast, and II gives us me
greater satisfaction as some otthe norlnerni w niS
journals have endeavored &c persuade me pubic
that there was probability ofthe people OF lex
- being ayerse 10 junction with our confsder-
scv This idea is absurd in itself and must be
ridiculous 10 any one who has the slightest &C
ouain;ance with the temper and disposition OF
mai ,eople. They are as much attached 10 the
RI States rs lhey would be, il they had never
cmigra,ed-and they would spun lTe mean the
great mass Of the populaiion) all inducement> 70
auv themselves 10 any other ration, with as much
hearty con;emp, as The people of any State IN Inc
Union wouid exhibit under similar circumstances
With such men as those Of Texas, nine-,enths OF
whom were born and brought up in The remote
western settlements, Injured to the fatigue and pfi-
valions OF hunters life the mosi expert and &C.
live riilemen in the word-wilh such body o.
men 10 guard the frontier Of Louisiana, We may
laugh al all attempts of no matter what enemies
who may undertake to annoy or invade us from
that quarter. The circumstance OF itself ought
to obviate all objections to the resolutions of Con
sress, at least in Louisiana. But five reflect on
what nigh, have been the condition OF our iron
tier and Of ,h= parishes adjacent il, had lsTo'
fallen into the saayes Of England acc arc Joreed
regard he measure as hartag rescued as hon IN
minenl and appalling dangers In The presen
happy condition Of things, instead OF having ioi
neiishbors people animated BY abolition prejn
dices, we have friends and coun'rymtn, who arc
as hostile 10 that bood-lhrsy, canline crew as
We ourselves are--who are ready 10 Join thel
forces with ours 10 thrash any enemy that may
assail Us; and who, far from abeuns The schemes
otlhc abolition gang, will cheerfully assist US Il
irus,ra,e ,hem and instead oftahing fugitive slaves
hy the hand and encouraging their fight, will dc
their utmost 10 arrest and restore them 10 lhei
masters. These are some of The advantages whic!
we in these localities derive from the annexation
Of Texas"
