@The discussion upon the Texas
questionis in full blast in the House of
Representatives. The debate is ami
mated, and many of the speeches, on
both sides, are argumentative, power
full, and interspersed with that fervid
eloquence SO characteristic of Ameri-
can statesmen. 1t is impossible that
annexation can take place by treaty,
IN the usual acceptation of the term,
because the constitutional requisition
Of two thirds Of the Senate, agreeing,
in such cases, will prevent it. The
only way, therefore, IN which annexa-
ton can be effected, is by a joint reso-
luton of both houses of Congress.
Every possible parliamentary maneu-
.vrelng will be resorted to by the federal
opponents Of the measure, to defeat it
but it seems to be the current opinion

luton will ultimately pass. 1.-THE

General Court now exercise.
Mr.. Frazier called up the bill appropriating
$25, 900 within years, for the completion Of
the building of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind In

Mr.. Lacy thought the bill should be so amen

better whether the whole sum should be appro-
priated. 5tg9l fs,.
