The "National Register" says, on the other
hand, that the people will carry out the proc
lamation for calling a convention. ave notice
(says this paper) in the Red Lander that the
honorable senator from Brazora Is mis-
sion to the east for the purpose of procuring
the action Of the various eastern counties on the
Brazoria resolutions. How he will succeed is
predetermined, so far as the east is concerned. His
want of success in Harris and other counties in this
section does not seem to have disprited him in his
undertaking. He, it appears, has not scrupled to
impress on the people that the Brazora recon-
mendations will be acted on in the west Such,
however, is not the case. No entire county has, as
yet, responded to those resolutions, if we except
Matagorda; and the appointed time has passed with
out the arrival Of a single member. We presume
that, ere this, the proclamation Of his exceency
recommending the meeting Of the convention has
been received in the east and north, and we doubt
not, has been hailed with the same universal re-
ocing that it has met with here and in all the coun-
ties heard from. The people in this county, Mont
gomery, Harris, Liberty. and Austin, are unan-
nous on the subject. We have received commune
cations from the west of the same tenor"

We can entertain no doubt Of the progress of am
nexaton The only fear is, that the people, in the
excitement of the moment, might adopt some vic.
lent and irregular course towards the constituted
authorities. We would earnestly advise them to
keep their hands off the President. Perhaps he may
yet find it the best course to resign his Office into
the hands of the Vice President, Mr.. Anderson, late
of Tennessee, an honest and ardent annexationist
Yet it would be desirable for the people, far az we
are now advised, to let the regular machinery work
on to its legitimate results.
