III mas been supposed Dy many thai MI Niles,
from Connecticut, would vote against the House
Resolutions annexing Texas. But the follow
ing article from his organ, indicates pretty EN-
phatically that he will do no such thing.
From The Hartford co. Daily Times
ADMISSION OF TEXAS. .
The passage Of the Texas resolutions in the House,
admitting that beautiful State into the Union has
given hope and Joy 10 our countrymen fsctious
opposition, such has disgfsced the country when
any great measure has been before II, has ar
rayed itself against this question. But the right has
triumphed among the Representatives Of the people,
aud we now look TO the senate 10 consummate this
patriotic act.
There were some Democratic Representatives
who recorded their names against this measure, for
reasons which we hope were patriotic and just. On
such question, personal feelings and private grles
should be saorhced-and the man, II any such there
were who forgot his duty and his obligations to has
county in hunt for Abolition votes, regardless of
his Democratic constituents, Is unworthy Of conf
dence. The preIences set up by some IN opposition
TO this measure, that we ought TO dictate TO that
country-that We will not permit them to establish
their own institutions, doctrine not known TO the
constitutional democrats. Men have gone round
seeking out Clsys illegitimste bantlng-the Mis-
souri, compromise-and have tried TO reoaplise the
spurious offspring Of this decayed latitudinarian.--
The resolutions which finally passed we regret to
retained this feature. We regretted to see il,
because would leave the people interested, to de-
eide these matters for themselves and we would
have Congress-the central goyernment-usurp no
thing. The establishment Of an. Abolition line was,
think, unwise-notwthstanding the precedent
set by a degenerate Congress, led on by MIR Clay,
during the " no party" days Of Mr.. Munroe, when
constitutional landmarks were disregarded.
But rejoice that the House has voted to admit
Texas, Notwithstanding this and one or two other
blemshes in the resolutions. Let the Senate act as
wisely and as patriotcally as the House. Texas is
constantly gaining friends. They may, by improper
means, by factous views by intrguos, and total
disregard postpone this measure, but they cannot,
and ought not to prevent the admission Of Texas into
the coniederacy
The admission of Texas, by which we can send
and receive the productions OF each country free OF
duty, will contribute more to the manufacturing and
commercial prosperity Of the North than any legsla-
ton Of Congress on any subject. IL will by opening
10 US free market, enhance the price OF every thing
We have to se-it WILL by furnishing US with cotton,
sugar, SC, provide with what wish to buy, at
low rates. Yet with all these and other advantages
the security frontiers the argement OF our
territories the acquisition Of country that naturally
belongs to us, the extension Of our government and
laws them, the amelioration Of the condition oil
all persons in that State thereby, and other sdvan-
tagesstl the federal faction resisted this mpor ant
acquisition TO the confederacy. They have resisted
il in the same narrow and Liberal spirit that they
and their fathers resisted the acquisition Of Louis
lana and the whole country west Of the Mississippi
Thanks to the patriotic majority of one hundred
and twenty members Of the House, who voted for the
admission, we have substantial evidence that the
fires Of patriotism burn bright in our land.
