wednesday Morning, January go.
The Jtras resolutions in the House Of Rcwesea
taLires.


We have stated, that the Resolutions adopted
by the House of Representatives, on Saturday,
were proposed by Mr. Milton Brown, wing
member from Tennessee. They are precisely
the same with those which had been on former
day submitted 10 the Senate by Mr. Foster, one
Of the Wing Senators from Tennessee. The
whole representation from Tennessee voted for
them in the House, and, we tust, both The Sena-
tors from Tennessee (Messrs. Jarnagin and Eos.
teri will vote for them nthe Senate. This would
be feather in the cap Of Tennessee, which would
gracefully adorn her brow.
We have repubshed the jubilant article OF
the Globe upon the passage of the Resolutions
We subjoin The following extracts from the long
article Of the Madisonian on the same subject:
''But we hail with an unspeakable pleasure,
the passage through the House Of Representa-
lives for The annexation of Texas 10 Tie Union,
By The commanding majority of % OF mca-
sure the terms Of .ghich we hope will be entirely
acceptable 10 our sister Republic. 1t is none the
less acceptable 10 us, because The groundwork OF
the measure has been proposed by Mr.. Milton
Brown, firm and determined Wing from the
Stale Of Tennessee. He and those Of his party
who have acted with him, entilc themselves 10
The proud appcllalion Of patriots. They have on
great national question risen superior 10 The
low and petty restraints oil party, and have with
eyes of statesmen looked 10 the lasting and en-
during honor and glory oil The American name
There are some questions which arc too high
and loo nobl, and too lofty for party; or il there
be party in connexion. il should be The Amcrl-
can party-the party of the whole country. We
cannot but rejoice however, in The fact, that a
aority OF the Democratic party, mausre the
sicklv winnings OF a small minority, have come
poil M. fl.,t asE nd rpCplDIpu
the universal call Of the country. For our own
part we repeat, while we have deemed il best in
every point OF view, that The resolutions OF an
nexation should have passed in the very words OF
the Treaty, yet we respond heartily to the Ian
gEase employed by the President in his message
to Tie House OF Representatives al the close OF
the last session. We care not for the words or
the form OF The lhing-give US the substance
annexation now, upon terms that will he accept
able TO the United States and Texas, and We are
content.
"'What will the Senate now dog is on the
lips of all. We answer that they will follow the
example Of the House. The conscript fathers OF
the land-lhe Representatives OF the 20 sovereign
States will add another bright and glorious starlo
the galaxy when was ii since the great flood
tha, The Senate would lend tsellior any length OF
time TO iacionl When was ii that Senators
would long continue blind 10 the interests Of Anne
rica or could fail 10 raise themselves on lip'oe 10
espy in the future the great glory Of The country!
Let our fellow countrymen then, prepare TO re-
joice They have already spoken forth in voice
Of thunder from Tammany Hall, and the echoes
will be caught up by every hill and valley, until
one universal shout of Htlcomc 10 Texas will re-
soud over the land"
The Madisonan has some fear that Tex
as may moi accept the terms, because not 50
favorable 10 her as the treaty was; but in oae
respect, we regard it as more favorable. She
pays her own debts, il is true, and thus removes
the Scruples of some Of our own politicians bul
she keeps her lands, and at The additional valua-
ton which they will acquire by the annexation
she will have more than enough 10 pay her debt
and she will be abelo devote a large surplus pro-
badly, 10 her own uses, 10 her schools, internal i'm
provemenls, &C. &c. We know This was an oh.
lcct, which her citizens had much al heart. The
Madisonan, however, is "wiing TO run the risk
with others, OF her acquicscence in The terms thus
rendered her, since il is apparent that those ma-
ta0Rv agreed upon cannot be ratified" AMI 50
