Tuesday Morning, February s5.
Cheering from Washington.

If VIC may trust the information OF our Cor
respondents al Washington, there can be very
| lille doubt, if any, about the success OF An
! nexation during the present Week. One oil mem
writes us on The 3d. "YoM may be SATISFIED, lhe

auesi me TO say to you, there is not 4 shadow o.
doubt of its success. The House Resolutions

cars, who thinks the Senate will speak oht mt

were the design Of some oflhc Wings; but as Ger
tainly as they attempt il, they will be disgraced
and most probably defeated. II the enemies OF
Texas attempt 10 speak ont the time, her irenaS
must sit them ont. The question must be iorceu
upon the Wings, by the superior perlnaclty OF us
supporters; for when, in mere struggle lor ihed,

The friends Enumeration will refuse 10 adjourn,
until the question be finally settled. The Wings
have already stirred up an honest Indignation
against them through the whole country Snoniu
rhcy he mad enough TO make the attempt TO defeat
The measure by idle garruy and designed con-
sumption OF time, the storm will sweep mem
down with the force OF hurricane.
We have had discussion enough. In both
Houses The argument has been already too much
prolracted and nearly exhausted We should
think it was becoming high time for our friends TO
cease all discussion, and not provoke orjustly the
Wings in carrying on the game, which i is
said they have projected. No doubt, We may lose
somc very able and eloquent speeches from our
Democratic CHAMPIONSHIP il is better TO lose
few speeches than great cause. Not even any
orations from Demosihenes and Cicero, from
Chatham and from Patrick Henry, could COM
pensate US Tor the loss Of Texas

taken on Wednesday, (to-morrow) aAt eight
o'clock on Wednesday evening, yon may con-
lidc, (says correspondent that The measure
will have succeeded"-and he bids us rejoice at
that hour. We pray to Heaven that the predic-
lion NAV be tuflled-but in case all these ca!cu-
la,ions should be defeated, and Texas not be ad-
United at this session, then we look forward 10 an
instantaneous rally at once. Should we nor be
defeated an event which We can scarcely anici-
pate, we beg every friend OF Texas in both Houses
10 meet together at once, 10 raise the "consecraled
banner" of the Lone STAR TO address The people
OF The United States. as well as the people OF
Texas, to ronse up our own spirits, and TO cheer
The hopes Of Texas. We beg further, in case OF
any danger TO write us forthwith about The pros
poets that some Of the Virgnians may repair 10
Washington TO participate in The proceedings OF
the meeting to cooperate in their efforts 10 assis.
in devising firm, yet prudent vigorous but
constitutional mode Of action. The South, al
least, will never abandon Texas until she aban-
