Texas Annexed -" 4Allis safe.n
Below we publish the Resolutions which
were adopted by the Texan Congress,
accepting the terms providing for annexa-
ton proposed by our government.
The glorious measure has been effected,
our dismembered territory has been re-
gained, the area of freedom extended-the
lost pleiad" has returned to its proper
sphere. Let the people of the United
States rejoice for they are again united by
the strongest ties to their war-worn breth-
rem of the "lone STAR" and shand in hand
with them they will march onward to the
bright goal of glory and prosperity. Let
the people of the South rejOice-a bulwark
of defence has been reared for the protec-
ton of their peculiar institutions, the de-
signs of the abolitionists have been thwar-
ted-and defiance has been bid to Eng
land the great pirate Of the oce5n, the rob-
Der of nations-the measure SO important
to the welfare of our country, is consum-
mated inspite Ofhercunning diplomacy, her
Vaccinations, her threats! Letthose who
groan under the weight of oppression and
despotism in distant lands rejoice, for the
flag of the free will float in triumph over
the fertile soil of Texas, and there they
may find shelter beneath its ample folds,
and bask in the sun beams of liberty.
