currency to the belief that his business from

his route from Washington 10 Galveston, he /,
reported 10 have said, IN relation to the meas.
ure Of annexation, "hat the government, q,

On another occasion he observed shat tho
people Ct Texas were too tssty 10 sums,e an
nexaton, &C."
The public will in favor Of annexation has
demonstrated itselfin every part OF Texas with
the greatest unanim,ty and enthusiasm. At
Houston, Lagrange, Washington, Liberty, Sa-
bine. Matagorda, and, and number OF other
places, public meeting have been held, and
resolutions unanimously adopted, commanding
the prompt action Of the government. Ths
fourth resolution passed at the meeting in the
town OF BRENNAN, is as follows:
"Be il resolved, That il the President Of the
Republic does not convene the congress 90 or
before the fourth Monday in June nert, we,
portion Of the people of Texas, recommend to
the counties throughout the Republic, to meet
as soon a. practicable, al any point that may be
designated, in convention, to ratfy said Joint
Resolutions and forma State Constitution"
Among the series Of resolutions passed at tho
meeting Of the citizens Of Matagorda, is the fol.
lowing:
"De il further resolved, As the unanimous
opinion Of the people Of the county Of Matagor-
da, that should the President Of this Republic
refuse or neglec, TO act efficiently upon the pro-
position, made by the government of the United
States for annexatio beyond reasonable time
that i. will then become The imperative duty Of
the people Of the country at large 10 take the
subject into their own hands and to act for

Matsgorda hereby pledge themselves 10 their
fellow citizens throughout the Republic, 70

necessary and proper for the accomplishment OF
this all-imporlant end"

- ny no means certain that either President
Jones or ex. President Houston are opposed ~
the measure. Whatever Their opinions may be-,
however, they could not materially influence
the result. We have additional assurances.

less than three.fourths Of the people are in ia.

the people more c'an,orous and prompt in the
action. We now regard the matter as safe.
