Walker oi Mississippi, who spoke about three hours
violently in favor OF Annexation. lie quoted sey-
eral authorities, showing that Texas was thought
of some more than eight months ago. HIS tavoriie

merlv written As Mr.. Polk is holding out the I'M
mcnse power OF the Government 10 carry ieXaS,

station in the Cabinet, for winch, however,
the chances are as little as himself


Mr.. Miller OF New-Jersey then obtained The
floor. and the Senate ad ourned at 10 O'clock hav-
ing been in session, with the exception ol SNORT
recess eleven hours.


Ii i. rumored Ia several CT your New-l OK papers
that the vote on Texas was TO be taken on Moncly
evening last This OF course, was not SO. lhardiy
think 1t will be taken before Friday or Satur-
day evening. CrItleuden OF hen'ncNy ana other
Wing Senators have yet TO address the Senate and
those in favor of Annexation VII! nave 10 reply
Tn. soeech of Mr. Crittenden isanyously expected.


hear that Pearce OF Maryland has to-day re-
tsrued. which gives us still more strength. Aliens
speech is said 10 have influenced some Senators
the wrong way lis effect Is SAID 10 have been TO
make Benton still more stubborn.


Bancroft stock is falling He has great many
enemies They say that he never held an oihcc
! bnt one-CoIlector of Boston-and that he neglect
ed. He was first preacher, then a teacher, then
historian; and recently he went on a pilgrimage
TO the Hermitage, TO get facts tor his Biography OF
Jackson, and 10 intrigue with Old and Young
green Hickory for seat in the Cabinet use the
term green, because, were II not so, Young tilck-
ory would have discovered, long since, that Ban
croft is but poor wood for Cabinet ware.


They want TO get Woodbury. in. but he wonl
take any thing but the State Department. Coy
Hubbard, the old Federast of New Hampshire, il
is said, has been sent for 10 be consulted In the
midst of this excitement, il is quite probable thai
Mr. Rantoul may be selected as the New-Englanc
member have no spcculations abou, Annexation
bu have never given up my opinion that Is 10 be
defeated in the Senate. 1t may be by one vote
and that may be given by Loco-Foco, in spite o.
Mr. Aliens prayer. trust that there may be tounc
at least one righteous man in the Sodoin and Go
morrah of Loco-F -Focosm.


Among the arrivals in this city notice those O
L. H. Morris, Tom Carr, J. G. Bennett and lady
and son, Gov Van Ness and lady, of New York
Gen Wool, U s a. Friend Humphrey Of Albany
is also soiourning here at present.


The Post Office Bill comes up first in order to-
morrow under the Previous Question. | think II
will pass by large majority without amendment
as II. came from the Senate and as published in
your paper some time ago The faction will op-
pose II by every subtertugc.
