Texas Annexation--what Is the Prospect


nowf


The popular feeling in Texas in favor Of annexa-
ton, has, at last, swept resstlessy over every OBJ
stacle. Every opposing influence has yielded be-
fore it, The subtle and crafty diplomacy OF Eng
land and France, so zealousy and unwearledly car
red out by their faithful agents, has thus far failed
of its object.


On the assembling of the Texan Congress, the
treaty with Mexico was presented to both houses,
and rejected by an unanimous vote. Immediately
afterwards the resolutions in favor OF immediate
annexation TO the United States, in accordance
with the terms of the resolutions adopted by the
National Legislature of this country, were intro
duced and acceded to with the same unanimity. The
proclamation of President Jones, and the election
of Deputies to the National Convention for the adop-
tion of Constitution for the State OF Texas, re-
ceived at the same time the authoritative sanction
of Congress, and thus the whole measure has been
settled definitely and for BY the will ol The peo-
Pile, expressed through their representatives. AT
the same time resolutions were Introduced relative
TO the introduction of The United States troops into
Texas in furthergnce of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
and thus nothing now remains for the completion
of this great measure, so vitality important
to the progress and perpetuity of free GO
vernment on this great continent, but the action
of the Convention, 10 whose hands has been COM
mited The work of preparing the State Constitu-
tion.


Thus far, then, the prospect is bright and uncloud-
ed. But the difficulties which surround the final
settlement of the great question, are by no means al
together removed. 1t still remains to be seen in
what shape the opposing elements may present
themselves. With the facts before us, we cannot
believe that the European powers, which have been
employing with such persevering energy, agen-
cies to prevent annexation, will now deslst
from all opposition. Again, is il TO be suppos-
ed that Mexico will quietly submit TO annexa-
tion, and at succumb to the successful po-
licy of the United States with regard to this Texas
question BY no means The slightest glance at
the present political condition of the Mexican
republic, shows that the bitter opposition made
10 the of Texas with this confederacy, is be-
coming more intense every day. In August the
Presidential election in Mexico takes place. There
are now three candidates in the field. Each is ap-
peang to the sympathles and feelings of the popu-
lar masses, and he undoubtedly will be successful
who most powerfully attracts to his standard, the
heligerent impulses of the people, now so intensely
awakened against the United States Under
whatever auspicles, then, the administration
of Mexican affairs may be conducted, whichever
candidate may succeed, the warllke policy must ine
vtably be adopted, and if immediate and direct hos
tility TO annexation be not resolved upon and at
tempted, there is not any doubt that serious and de-
lermined opposition will be made to the recognition
of the boundary line proposed by Texas and the Uni
ted States In that case the intervention of England
WILL in all probability present itself, and the result
may be easily imagined.


The question, it will thus be seen, has lost none
of Its warlke character-on the contrary, the pros
pect Of collision between the two countries is only
rendered more probable and near We have no
fear, however, for the issue The destiny of this
republic is apparent to every eye. Texas annexation
must be consummated, and the immediate results of
that event may only precipate the subugation of
the whole continent, despite of all the opposing ef
forts Of the despotic dynasties of Europe. Well,
the people ofihls country are ready for any thing
that may turn up. If good stand-up fight with
Great Britain be brought about, so much the better
The chances Of that have by no means disappeared
Just wait little. These times in which mate
rials for the historian OF century may be made in
one day.
