we do not believe that they would sul-

corruption, timidIty or cowardIy aban-

LATER FROM TEXAS.

The steamship New York. Captain
Wright, arrived here yesterday from
Galveston, whence she sailed on the
9th inst. She brings US papers from
Galveston to the 7th. Among her pas
sengers were Major Donelson, the Uni
ted States charge, and Gov. Yell, Of
Arkansas.
Gen. Houston, with his wife and son,
arrived at Galveston on tho Sd inst,
from his farm on the Trinity. He pro-
poses to visit the seat of government of
Texas, and will then come at once to
the United States--he being extremely
solicitous to see General Jackson once
again before the death Of the latter,
which appears so imminent. lie yields

if not of choice.
Mr.. Wicklilfe, the ex-Postmaster
General, was at Galveston on the 7th
inst.
Commodore Moore has involved
himself IN a Controversy with General
Houston, and publishes an address to
the people of Texas, in which he expo
ses his grounds of dissatisfaction with
the ex-President. He enclosed copy
of this address to the ex-President,
threatening to follow it up with other
exposures, until he can receive person
al satisfaction for the injuries which he
thinks himself to lave received.
There is no limit to the enthusiasm
Of the people of Texas in regard to an
nexation. The only trouble with them
appears to be, whether to meet in con.
yention and form a constitution for
"the State of Texas" prior or subse-
qucnt to the meeting Of Congress-
This is fertile theme for the severa!
editors. To show the disposition of the
President of Texas, we make short
extract from the Morning Star of the
Sd inst, published at Houston:
"We rejoice to say that we have
the most positive evidence that the Pre-
sident and a majority of the members
of his cabinet are anxious to act with
the utmost harmony with the people,
and will cordially cooperate with them
in their efforts to consummate this
great measure at the earliest practicable
period"
The Hon. E. Allen, the acting Secre-
tary OF State, arrived at Houston on
the 2sd ult. The Telegraph assures
US that he is an ardent friend of annex
alton, and is desirous that "the great
measures should be consummated at
the earliest practicable period"
The papers contain ample reports of
public meetings declarative of the feel
lngs of the people in regard to annex
alton. There is no occasion to give
these reports, so nearly unanimous are
The sentiments of the whole country.
The Texans already regard themselves
is part and parcel of the United States,
md, proud of the union, are only impa-
lent that any delays should be inter-
posed to its completion. Even the
'apers opposed TO annexation bat in
inuate their objections; they see that
must take place,and refrain from any
pen resistance 10 it. five can Judge
