In the House, after a variety of local business,
mainly preliminary to future action, the order
Of the day, being the resolutions with regard to
the Annexa ton of Texas, was taken up; when
Mr.. Campbell offered the following as a substi.
tute for the resolutions before the House, viz:
Be it Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives Of Louisiana, 10 General Assem-.
bly, convened, That it is their deliberate onin-
ion, that majority of the people OF Louisiana
are in favor Of the immediate annexation Of
Texas to the United States, by any lawful and
constitutional means. Provided, il be stipulated
in the act of annexation that Texas shall enjoy
all the rights and privileges now secured to that
portion Of territory ceded by France to the Uni

In relation TO the situation of the Texas ques-
ton, the correspondent Of the Baltimore Ameri-
can writes thus:
WARRINGTON. Jan. 4, I645.
The House Of Representatives is now fairly
launched upon the Texas discussion, but with
what conclusion no man knows. The intelligent
men Of the dominant party admit that there is
great doubt as to the form which this question
will assume, or whether it can assume any shape
that will give il the vote Of the majority. There
will be vote no doubt upon nearly all the lead.
ing questions submitted, unless there should be
previous settlement as to the termn of annexa-
ton in caucus The two meetings already held
resulted in nothing beyond an agreement TO take
up tile question, and a third, from indications Of
opinion in the House, would accomplish no
more. Nevertheless there is 10 be q third meet.
ing.
Two or three points in the discussion thus far
excite very general attention. The Chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations is called
uPtO show what his authority is for saying there
will be no rupture with Mexico and England
should Texas be annexed. What authority
could be given for such a declaration?
Mr.. RHETT has said to-day. "TexaS we will
have, regardless of the manner, - and Mr.. PAYNE
intimates tho nullifc6tion may follow the rejee-
ton of Texas upon the ground that slavery is re-
tanned in the Territory. All declarations like
this are calculated to give point 10 the discussion,
and you may now look for a very earnest debate

" The american Dictionary Of The English Language,

honor to the pathological learning aud general lite
ratuie Of this country. Happy the who
hus honOrably ldenuiy his name with the existence
Of our yernacular tongue. There is no other way
in which mortal man could more efiectunlly secure
Immortality beneath the skies. Obelisks, arches, and
triumphal monuments seem to be as transient a. the
bubble of military reputation. No work of art
wlths and the ncessant strokes of time. The unTi-
vailed Parthenon, glowing in polished marble and
which, for more than two thousand years continued
from the summit of the citadel of Athens 10 cast its
broad splendors acloss the plains below, and along
the coasts and headands of Attlca, Is now cTumb-
ling to ruins, after being despoed Of Its most eKquf-
size materials by savage war and heartless man.
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is hidden
in the deepest Tecesses OF antiquity, and which have
always stood in awe-insprng solitude and grandeur,
are annoyed by the depredaons of curiosity,
and greatly corroded by the action of the elements,
and gradually sinking under the encroaching sands
Of the desert. This dictionary; and the language
which it embodles will also perish; but it will be
with the gorgeous padees 1t will go with the solemn
temples and the great globe Itself"
The Publishers of the foregoing work respectfully
announce that they have made arrangements with
Mr.. +. Taylor, Bookseller, of Washington city, to
furnish the American Dictionary, in two large
tunes, at the very reduced price ol twelve dollars.

by DR.. Webster in lS43 immediately before the
sickness which terminated his valuable life, and has
been published and copyrighted, since his dea,hlby

The work is therefore in finished and
