 newspapers of the statement that the Texas ressIu tlons could not have passed the House of Represen tatiyes without the aId of whig votes. The Wash mgton correspondence of the Charleston Mercury IS the lust place in which have met with this asser- tion, and the writer repeats il 10 establish hs ca'm to be considered prophet. He says. "l told you Texas could not be admitted without other aid than democratic votes. So proved in the House, and 90 it will prove in the Senate.' The fact in regard to the House is not so The yote on the Texas resOu. tons showed A clear vote m the affirmative, without the whg votes It showed a clear democratic maio- rity against whgs and all others. and Il showed \ clear democratic majority all opponents all the whigs and all the absenees; in short majority of the whole number ele,ted and all democrats.

 The final vote was l2O ayes 10 9s noes. or the l2O ayes, 8 were wings.

 If these whigs had not voted al all, the vote would Lo.~ hsa ll2 avas os noes. Majority IA. If they had voted in the negative the ayes would have been ll2. noes l06 Majority 6.

 The United States Gazette of Philadelphia says

 Our private letters from New York speak in the most gloomy terms of the prospect of affairs in con gress, relative to Texas. It seems that the Senate cannot, on this question, present the bold manly front to error, which il has presented many other sions; and apprehensions felt and expressed, mol only that the annexation bill. the resolutions will pass, but that the serious consequences will suit thereirom to the country.

 The editorial correspondence of the Tribune, (N. Y.) puts down his alarms Tn the following snappish style:

 WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb. 22. The friends of annexation in the Senate have re- solved to press a vote Monday if they feel sure then as they do now. l think the vote wH be taken either Monday or Tuesday, and greatly fear the result will be adverse to peace and freedom, though do not despair. It is now virtually settled that 2d l,xh xvU 10 a nsf anne xafi ed MT. Pearce of Md. can be back from the bedside of his sick wife in season, as II is believed he will be. In that case, il needs but -foco to defeat the measure. Where shall this one come from? There halfa dozen whose understand Ings and consciences tell them they Ough to vote Nav, but their interests and ambition plead strong y the other side tha, greatly fear the latter will nrenonderaie.
