Remember Annexation.

Don't let the act nor the consequence pass
out Of tho public mind.
Remember that we are involved in most
expensive and disgrnceful War, which had it's
origin in the Annexation Of Texas.
Remember that the Protective Policy has
been broken down by the voies OF the Texas
Senators and could not have been without
them.
Remember that Polk's Vetoes of the River
and Hsibor and French Spoliations bills are
justified in good part by The alleged need Of
all the money in the Treasury to carry on the
War caused by the Annexation Of Texas.
Remember that The debt of Texas is yet TO
be paid, and that she has q official
guaranty that Uncle sam will pay it. IL
amounts to many Millions.
Remember that the inhibition by Congress
Of Slavery in the Texas territory Nor,h Of
200 30 has been utterly secuted by Texas
herself, and that Slavery will exist there
under The Constitution OF Texas in defiance
of the Joint Resolutions consenting to An
nexation.
Remember that Texas has been stretched.

boundaries originally claimed by herself, a.

From the New Orleans Picayuns, Aug ss.


MoRE or SANTA Anna Since our last
publication we have been placed in posses-
sion Of intelligence from Havana which
throws more light upon the movements of
Santa Anna. From one OF the letters, dated
,he 9Th instant we make an exlract:-
The slow transient English
steamer Arab is chartered TO sail TO night Ut III
O'clock She clears for Sisal, and takes with
her Generals Almonte, Beson, 1--we think this
should be Rejon-Eds.l Santa Anna and fami-
ly TO Mexico. The Monteznma has been un
dergong repairs and was tried few days since
on pleasure excursion, but was iounu 10 pe
completely out Of order.
This letter sufficiently accounts for the
non appearance Of Santa Anna ot Vera Cruz
be fore the Mississippi leh there.
We announced as far back as the lst in-
stant, upon the arrival Of the Til, that Cen
cral Basndrc, former member Of Santa An.
mas Cabinet, sailed from Havana for Sisai
and thence to Tobasco. on the 10Th OF July.
We entertain little doubt that his expedi-
,ion was designed 10 prepare The way for
Santa Anna, by providing The means Of spec
dy communication slong the coast from To-
basco TO Alvarado and Vera Cruz and making
other necessary preparations.
The latest accounts we have from Tobias
CO represent that depnrImeal in that state OF
commotion which in Mexico precedes q revo-
luton.
The people were even in advance Of the
Vera Crnzanos, and will no doubt flock TO
Santa Anna's standard, now that 30 many
Departments have declared for him.
We have seen other letters from Havana,
which leave no kind of doubt upon our minds
that Santa Anna got off at the time he ex-
pectcd to do-ihe 9th Of August. We shan
expect to hear from him next at Vera Cruz.
