The Object OF Annexation.

The N. O. Commercial Times, in a very moderate
and reasonable article for that latitude upon the an
nexaton of territory, has the following;
There is a well-founded and justifable anxiety in
the South to extend its institutions ppaSsu with the
admission into the Union of non-slaveholding States
We claim equality Of strength and influence with the
North and West equality of representation in
tlonal councils, as almost the sole remaining shelter
from the prepondering Influences of the latter The
South instnclively feels that their only safety lies in
the equilibrium of power But for this the vehement
preudices nourIshed against our domestic institutions
might one day overeap constitutional barriers and the
vruent assaults to which we daily exposed, might
assume more practical and directly injurious form
TI,s sentiment Of self preservation, was the leading
motive in uniting the entire South, irrespective Of poll
tics, upon the annexation Of Teas. That question: it
is true. was in part determined by Northern votes but
while in that quarter the ambition of territorial acqu
sltlon, and strong sympathy for republic settled by
of-shots from the parent STEM in great measure st
fled sectional interests III the South the
seriousness that by the aggregation Of Texas the slave
holding States would derive an accession of strength
and be better fitted to cope with the North, was mo-
tive that overshadowed all others, Hence, while
Norhward the question rumphed bit partially South
of the Potomac it defed all opposton and ran an un-
interrupted career of victory"

From the Seat Of WEI,

WASHINGTON, Jan. II,
The u. S. steamer Edith has arrived at N. Orleans.
She left Brazos 30th ut, and brings a confirmation
of the reported advance Of Santa Anna, with large
force, upon SaItllo.
The Mexican army was reported nearly 10000
strong!
Gen. Taylor was only six or eight miles on his
march to Victoria when Gen. Worth's Express reach
ed Monterey
The troops under Twiggs and Qutman were but II
miles in advance.
Orders were Immediately issued to this division to
rettace their steps, and proceed Immediately Saltlo
Gen. Butler had already marched with all the troops
he could collect, to join Gen. Wort.
Gen. Lane sarted for Saltllo with his command on
the Goth.
Marshall set out the next morning with the remain
der of the forces.
Gen Wool was OILY ninety miles from Saltillo at
last advices. 1t supposed he would join Worth in
season to assist in repelling the army.
rumor that Santa Anna had thrown IL 900 men
between Worth and Taylor, to prevent junction of
the American forces, was not credited.
An impression prevailed among the passengers in
the Edith that battle was fought about the 25th.
1t was thought, however that the American forces
above mentioned had reached Saltllo before that time
If So Generals Taylor and Worth had about 1000
to oppose Santa Annals army, which was believed
to have been overrated.
of great ferment; approximations of attacks being
tertained at Camargo Matamoras, and other points,
from the Rancheros under Canales.
At Maamoras Col. Clark had called on the citizens
to enroll themselves for service; and at Brazos, Gen.
Jessup had done the same thing. Both points were
sadly deficient in arms and men.
1t was thought Canales had 1000 men.
General Scott arrived at the Brazos on the 2oh ult.,
and proceeded to the mouth of the Rio Grande on the
following day, where he awaiting the arrival Of
horses belonging to the regiment of mounted rl1emon,
whenthe Edith left twas understood he would then
proceed Immediately to Camargo.
letter inthe Pcayune of the 9Th, dated Camargo
10th Dec. u o'clock at night puts to rest all doubts
to the facts in the adyices expressed by Gen. Worth
at Salto, announcing the march Of large Mexican
force. The letter gives in detail all the facts above
stated.
A letter in the Picayuno, dated Tampco Odd Dec,
from reliable source, confirms the report that the
Mexican Congress have decided that the war shall not
cease Nor will they receive commissioners to treat
for peace until every hostile foot has left the soil Of
Mexico, and every ship that lines the coast is with
drawn.
They have further resolved that they will accept nc
foreign Intervention Whdrua to bring about peace
This confirms previous statements, of the truth o
which doubts have been expressed in certain quarters
LATER-News from New Orleans to the 9TH con
ttadicts the rumor that Santa Anna marching upo
Saltillo. The Mexican troops seen were nothing NOR
than large foragng party, while Santa Anna remain
at San Luis Potosi So there is no prospect of a
immediate engagement
