The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-05-06


: TrxAs.-Tho intelligence from Texas
r continues favorable to the cause Of Annex
: alton.
The Texan Register says, "that Maj
. Donelson has presented the joint resolution
3 for tho action of our (the Toxian) govern
2 ment."
President Jones has issued his proclama-
ton converting Congress on the 10th prox-
imo.
The Galveston news ofthe 18th ultimo,
contains the proceedings ola meeting Of
the friends Of Annexation at Durham,
Washington county. Resolutions strongly
in favor of that measure were passed, from
among them we extract the folowing;-
which indicutes the feelings ola large ma
Ijority ofthe people of Texas.
"Resolyed, that the Executive be reques-
ted to use all means within his powerto ef-
feet the Annexation Of Texas to the United
States upon the basis ofthe joint resolution
with the utmost promptitude,"
Some of the most distinguished citizens
of the Republic were present. and eloquent
IIy enforced the Importance of the measure.
Every day brings us fresh indications Of
the popular emotion in favor of Annexation,
which is so prevalent in Texas, and gives
hope to its friends in the United States Of
its early completion,
The last number of the Wing contains
the correspondence between number of
the citizens ofBenton who are opposed to
the removal of the County Site, and
i. w. Quackenboss Esq, Of this place.
From which we learn they have solicited
him to become candidate for the State
Legislature, provided he concurs with
them in opposition to the proposed remov-
al, and pledge him their support irrespec-
tive ofparty. In reply he informs them
that he has been in favcr ofthc removal
ofthe scat of justice to Yazoo City, ever
since that question was first agitated'' and
therefore declines the proflered honor.
The new British Tariff as modified, and
proposed by Sir Robert Peel, has been a
dopted, and gone into operation.
Thus has the unjust system Of monopoly
received severe blow, even where it has
hitherto been nururcd. The Wing lead
ers had better abandonall hope of inducing
the people ofthe United States to sanction
their mis-callcd "American System" which
had its origin in England, that prolific
source ofrobery anddcpotism, inasmuch as
that nation (their great prototype) is now
reversing its policy. They have so often
proven their devotion to her examples, it is
a matter calculatedto excite curiosity, what
they will do in this instance.
