THE TEXAS BOUNDARY.

President Fillmore has sent 10 Congress an off
cha. account Of the acceptance, By Texas, OF The
proposition of the United States for settling the
boundary Of that State. II seems thai great una
nimity prevailed in the Texas Legislature, on
this subject notwithstanding the efforts to make
her believe she was disgraccd by the protfrred
'brihe' of the general government, as the oppo-
nents of the measure chose to call the boundary
bill, but as Texas herself would not regard it.
Mr.. Fillmore, has likewise ISSUED his procla-
nation in obedience to the requirements of the
act, declaring the said acceptance OF the law by
Texas, and procamng the same in full force
and operation. We subjoin extract from his
message 10 Congress, on this subject

the opposition of these malecontents, but a dis
solution of the Union or a restoration of power to

the President without coming to the conclusion
that honesty and patriotism, to say nothing of a
