Joint resolutions, in order to insure the safety ol the annexation measure, will detain the Hon. Mir. Allen with but few more remarks.
 According to those provisions, all that the congress, which Is 10 assemble on Monday next Will have to do on the subject, will be |" express thelf assent to them; ane ifthought proper, 10 sanction the call ofthe convention. winch has been made by the Presi lent of the republic Tor theparpose of ascertaining the "iSheS oi the people, and enabling them to make new constitution. When this con- yentlon, then, declare also their acceptance of these provisions, and make the constitution, providing for it's transmission tot the President oi the U. >, with the proper evidence of its ta- tlhcatlon or adoption by the people, the work ol annexation will be completed as far as the action oi Texas IS concerned. Nothing will remam 10 be done, but the passage of q sim pie resolution on the part of the Congress of ot the United States, declaring that Texas, having fulfilled all the acquisitions of law, is a member of the Union, equal, independent, and sovereign with the other States.
 The undersigned cannot but feicitate hiuI- sell in having been called to contribute his humble aid to an object SO deeply interesting as the incorporation of Texas into the Amer iean Union. Not understood originally by the great mass of the people of the United States, it has had to work is way slowly through party prejudice, and that spirit of distrust which Is q necessary shield against the dangers of reckless adventure and inno- yatlon. But, like most other good things, it has had the capacity to bear disaP5aiHs- ment and defeat and it has risen the stronger from every attempt which has been made to give 1t direction adverse to its true charac- ter. It IS, however, not so much annexation, as the manner of t, that gives it importance, and eIeyates 1t IS moral question, far above those acquisitions of territory which have been made, by most of the great nations of the earth, by violence and bloodshed There has been no conquest in this iustance-not even an effort to influence the judgement of the people of Texas On the contrary. moved by their own free will-neither bai!led by repulse on the part of the United States. nor tempted by the eounsels of other nations, they have maintained their virtuous independ- ence; relying confidently that time and dis eussion would open the way, not by swords. but by votes, for their restoration to the Union.
 The undersigned renews to the Hon. Mr Allen assurances of the high regard with which he continues to be his most obedient servant. A J. DONFLS0N.

Mr.. Lawrencc,in lecture on geolo.,

ing of changes lin the earth's surfrce,
said that, {. .,- s 80
"The Mississippi river within the
last two hundred years has advanced
thirty miles into the gulf >of Mexico.
And observation proves the gulf of
Mexico formerly extended higher up
than where the mouth Of the OHIO now
is. All those almost boundles bottoms
extended from the southern part of nh-
aeis, once were occupied by the arm
Of the sea. All this filling up has been
done at the expense of the country wa
tered,by those rivers. But much the
largest portion of the mineral matter
carried down by the river'is conveyed
10 a great distance into the ocean.
There it is distributed in layers upon
its bed. Layer, after layer is. thus
formed, which in process of time, BY
pressure, by chemical affinity, and by
other causes, gradually becomes con.
solidated into the hardness of ordinary
rock. This is the history of all the
rocks in the west. Every part of. the
country has, at sene period formed a
part of the bed oftf,e ocean Which then
received contributions from other lands
from which all our present rocks have
been formed, and has subsequently, been
raised to its elevation above it. This
is likewise demonstrated by the abun-
dance oforganic remains found mall
our rocks all of which are of marine
origin. Another cause Of change isshe
wearing action of rivers. all Of which
in the west have excavated the whole
other channels through which they now
flow. When they commenced run
ming, their beds were higher than the
highest points along the shores now are;
for these must have suffered some abra.
sion. Hence all the hills in the west have
been produced by The action of the
waters, instead ofhaving been elevat-
ed, and are from this circumstance
termed hills ofgraduation II was shown
that the sea and land gradually chang.
ing places, that portions Of the earth
are gradually rising and encroaching
upon the sea, while others are en-
croached upon by the sea- A recent
elevation of the country through which
the Missouri flows was supposed 10 be
the cause Of the rapidly and nlnddi-
ness of its current. - ~ =
