.;. i precious confession, to which invite the
'..;..s consideration Of The people. According the
,uss,o # the Globe, the great organ Of Iocoucusm.
II. ,oiot Resolution submitted to Texas Tor considera-
,o is The act Of minority OF one Of the branches Of
,he legislative department Of cur government. Sup
e them that Texas accept The terms therein proposed,
- we are assured by the Enquirer that she willis ii
-, manifest that she comes into the Union, in oppos
,;on to the will u majority Of The Senate, and cnse
o,eniy in violation Of what Mr. Jefferson calls 'the
fundamental law Of Republican government? - So com
in, in the leg macy Of The act may well be questioned
for il may be empha,icaily said Of States coming into
this Confcderacy, she that eni"reh not in the door,
the strait door Of the constitution lis thief and
robber."
But another enquiry suggests itscli-If the Globe
speaks truly when il says the J.in Resolution "could
not have commanded msjrry in the Senate" how
in the name Of common sense, was it passed Why,
an alternative resolution appended it, for the pur
se f auienp the Troublesome conscienres OF certain
Senators, who "sraned at gna,, and swallowed a
c,meI"-Senators, who could not sanction the joint
Restitution in lis undiluel FORM but who gulped il
down with an ''aernave" tackled To it, which they
knew did not change lis meaning. and which, as e.
vents have since proved threw the slightest obstacle
in the way of its cnnsamniaon, but, on the contrary
removed the only obstacle that existed to its SUGGEST
The insinuatin Of the Globe that if the management,
Of this affair had been left to Mr. Polk he would have
selected the alternative proposition Of Mr.. Benton i'll
stead Of the Joint Resolution, is gatnitous and be
lieye wholly uniounded. and satisfies that that paper

basis of the annexation Of Texas! Their conscieaces
however, are, we hope, at ease; but if they are they
are unqnesonahly very elastic.
