ANOTHER TEXAS WmG.-Wm CostJohn- son, who is in the Maryland House of Dale- gates, stated on the 28th February that, had he been present when the vote was taken in- stfueting the Senator in Congress 10 oppose annexation, he should have voted against it. ssHe had reflected much upon this question, and had come to the conclusion that the an- nexation of Texas to this Union was consti- tutional, eXpedient and propeer. He thought with that great man, Alexander Hamilton, fe derslist as he was, that the time would arrive when the American Union would extend over all this broad continent, from ocean, and that the principles of civil and religious liberty would be commensurate with the extent of her territory. He was deeply impressed with the conviction, that the true interests of the country required the immediate annexa ton of Texas and the immediate occupation of Oregon. Nothing but the rules of the House prevented the democratic members from manilesting their appreciation by ap- plause." We'll, is Cost Johnson a "traitor,'' too?
