GJ The Washington correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Ledger says;
1t is believed now that the qualified notice of
neither Mr. Coquitt nor Mr. Crittenden will
pass the Senate or that, if either should be a.
dopted, the House of Representatives will refuse
to concur, and adhere to the resolution which
has already passed that body The Senate, it i,
the prevailing impression, will be obliged ulti.
mately TO take the House resolution.
As anumber Of Senators have expressed their
intention TO address the Senate on the Oregon
question, the probability is that the debate will
be continued this and all next week. Mr.. Web.
ster addresses the Senate tomorrow, Mr.. Crit.
tenden probably on Tuesday, aud Mr.. Mangum
on Wednesday. 1t is understood also that we
are to have speech from General Houston, and
another from Mr.. Allen. Gen. Houston is nm,
derstood to 60 for 81 40 and Gen. Rusk for AZ.
Mr. Simmons and Mr.. Cameron, it is also stated

taken, and two or three Others

or OREGoS. MIR. McDuife in his late speech,
quoted Mr.. Greenhow's book, the same which
Gen. Cass had quoted, TO show the worthlessness
of Oregon, as follows
"The Territory North of 49ih parallel oflsti-

The proposed new tariff of Mr.. Walker,
upon examination, is found 10 be more un-
just to the manufacturers than could have
been expected by the most ultra free-tra-
ders. The manufacturers, indeed, have
scarcely moderate protection given them
in the proposed law. In the debates upon
the tariff, England and her policy have
been held up as models for our example;
but we find that, instead OF following the
pattern set us, our manufacturers are to
do their business under less favorable cir
cumstances than those of Great Britain.
Their notifications have been made
with view OF making cheap bread, and
OF cheapening the articles consumed by
manufacturers. Here the new bill imposes
on the articles used by manufacturers of
cotton tariff equal 10 the amount If HE Ia
riB on The goods hemsctUeS; thus placing
our manufacturers alta positive disadVan-
tages in competing with England in the
markets OF the world.
To show how much more liberal England
is than Mr. Walker, it is sufficient to say,
that out Of near .fge hundred articles upon
which the duty was repealed or reduced
in l845, there was not dn article which
could be eaten, butall were used for man
ulacturiHg purposes. In our 90 per cent.
schedule is chiefly occupied with enumer-
ating articles not made in this country,
but which are used to large extent in
manufacturing. The 10 and 5 per cent.
schedules are also nearly filled in this way,
and il the tramers oi the bill tried TO place
our manufacturers al the mercy Of Europe,
i: could not have been more effectually
done.
The bill, in all its details, is grossly un-
Just, and when it shall come before Con-
gress We hope lhatit will he disputed at ev-
cry point. 1t cannot fail to PROSTATE ma
nv of our factories, und the Wings owe it
to themselves TO give the bill an opposition
so effectual that all the ruin it causes shall
be cbargeabIe to its supporters.-N. York

THE STATE OF TEXAS.

III - - = VI 4 EAho.
The Legislature Of this new State u.s.
scmbled at Austin on The 2O,h ult.. and
was organized Ly the election Of General
Burleson as President Of the Senate. and
Mr. Crump as Speaker of the House OF Re-
presenlauves. On counting the vote Tor
Governor, it appeared that General Hem
dcrson had received 1910 votes, and Dr..
Miller 1872.
On the 10th Governor Henderson was
duly installed in Office, in the presence Of
the Legislature and large concourse OF
spectators. The ceremony was unusually
solemn and imposing, After prayer had
been offered up to the throne of Grace,
President Jones delivered his vaedictory
address. The oath OF office was then ad-
ministered TO the Governor elect by the
Speaker Of the House of Representatives,
when the banner OF the Republic descend
ed from its position above the Capitol, to
give place to the Stars and Stripes, and
peal of artillery announced that the Re-
public no longer existed, and that the an
nexation OF Texas to the American Union
was complete.
The New Orleans Picayune makes the
following remarks on the two principal
addresses delivered on the occason;-- Gin.
GascHe.
The Valedictory Of President Jones is
Wriuen with dignity, much feeling, and
in a patriotic spirit. lie congratulutes The
county upon the peaceful consummaton
ol annexation, ian event the most extra
ordinary in the annals OF the world" He
pronOuuces the dissolution Of the Repub-
llc OF Texas with tuIl sense Of the high
er blessings to be derived from merging
into the American Union, and then cheer
fully surrender The trusts committed to
him.
Gov. Henderson's inaugural address is
conceived in pure spirit OF patriotism.-
The author is impressed with plolound
sense OF the responsibilities OF Texas, as a
new member OF the Union, and OF himself
as her first executive officer. In due time
he will recommend measures for the ac-
ton of the Legislature, as he is required by
the Constitution. He concludes thus:
ave have this day fully entered the
Union Of the North American States; let
us give our friends who so boldly and so
nobly advocated our cause, and tie friends
of American liberty, no reason 10 regret
their efforts in our behalf. Hencrorth the
prosperity OF our sister States will re our
prosperity, their happiness ow happiness,
their quarrels will be our quarrels, and
in their wars We will freely participate"
Messrs. Houston and Rnsk have been
elected to represent the new State in the
Senate OF the United States.
