closed was an announcement Of the fact by
the Government Of Texas. mr. Fillmore
remarks As follows Picayvne.
From the common sources of public in
FORMATION IL would appear that very re-
nnarkable degree of nnalnmity prevailed,
not only IN the Legislature but among the
people Of Texas, ~ respect to tho agreement
of the State 20 that which had been pro-
posed, by Congress
cannot refrain from conoratnla-
ting Congress and the country on the sue
cess of this great and leading measure Of
generalization and peace The difficulties
felt and the dangers apprehend, from the
vast acquisitions Of teFrifory under the late
treaty with Mexico, seems now l1aupilv
overcome BY the wisdom Of Conrress.--
Within that territory there already exists
one State, respectable for the amount Of
ller population, distinguished iox singular
activity and enterprise, and remarkable. IS
many respects, from her condition and his
tory. This new State has come Into the
Union with manifestations not 10 Be mistay
ken of her attachment to that constitution
and that government which NOW embrace
her interests within their protecting and
benifcent controls
Over the residue Of the acquired Terrific
ries, regular Territorial Governnents are
now established, in the manner which has
been usualin the history Of this govern
ment. Various other acts Of Congress may
undoubtedly be requisite for the Benefit as
well as for the proper government Of these
so distant parts ofthe country. But the
same Legislative wisdom which has tri-
umphed over the principal difficulties, and
accomplished the main end, may be safely
relied on. for whatever measures may yet
be found necessary to perfect its work SO
that the accession Of these vast regions to
the United States may rather strengthen
than weaken the constitution, whichis over
us all. and of the Union, which affords such
ample daily proof Of its inestimabe value.
