Texas FRFgE3a Side gEEs.

Whatever doubts or misgIvinGs some of
OUT friends may have entertained as to the
course Texas would adopt in regard TO the
Joint Resolutions, passed al the last SEES
sion of our Congress, must, we thlnk, now
give place to feelings Of confident rejol-
cng. Our readers will remember that we
have all along said that the people of Tex
as were as anxious as ourselves, and even
more so. for the Union of the two Kepub-
IlcS-that it was only some few OF tie
presses and off holders, who, no doubt,
were Influenced in their hostility towards
annexation by the meddIing interference
of Great Britain and France, who were
opposed to the measure. We have always
SAID that when the question came before
the people of Texas, they would not only
accede to our overtures, but that they would
receive them with enthusiasm. Public O.
pinion-in other words the clearly eX-
pressed will of the people-in Texas has
had lis desired effect and we see that
Arson Jones, the President Of the Repub-
lie, has, under its influence, and much a.
gainst his own will, as we believe, been
compelled to call an Extra session of the
Texan Congress for the purpose of acting
on the ultmatum Of the United States
But we forbear any further remarks Of our
own. We copy the following article from
the New Orleans Picayune of the 18th

The President has issued his proclamation

of June next. We learn from the proclama
ton that the Government of the United State
has selected the first and second sections o.
OF the resolutions (Brown's) as the basis fol
consummatng the proposed union.
The enthusiasm of the friends of Annexa
ton is bearing down all opposition. The
people have taken the measure in their owr
