 WILL THE PEOPLE or TEXAS CONSENT

 TO COME INTO THE UNION ON THE

 TERMS PROPOSED TO THEM;

 We are able this week to throw additional light upon this question. The following is from tine New Orleans Courier, of April the 4tl

 We have received by the way of Red River intelligence that the passage ot the annneAa- ton resolutions by Congress occasioncd the most enthusiastic Joy throughout the north eastern portion of feNas, winch Is by far the most densely settled. The news was greet ed at San Augustine with a salute from tbc artillery and public meeting was innnedla- tely assembled 10 express the satisfaction oi the people at inc near approach ol the period when they shall be indlssolubly joined to .ae gIcat republican talnis.

 The Red River Republican states that a gentleman of responsibility; well known in Rapides. "a shFewd and intelligent observer of passing evcuts,2 asserts that tue feeling in favor of annexation Is almost unanimous throughout Texas. His acquaintance ia tAat country IS very extensive, including several members of President Jone's cabinet, and among the whole body of t.lo people he does not know half dozen, who are opposed to the Union of the two republics on the terms of the joint resolutions. The measure Is Sc popular among the citizens of Texas, so min gled with thef dearest feelings that Ho maa and no clique will dare to raise a voice against 1t.

 It is the opuion of he same gentleman that the public lands unsold wllI, when brought into the market, pay the debt of the republic, and leave a large surplus in the treasury.

 This intelligence from the interior cores ponds exactly with the information respect ing the manner in which the passage ol the annexation resolutions was received at Gat- weston, Houston and other places on the sea coast aud 1t gives us the greater satisfaction as some of the northern whig journals have cHdcavored 10 persuade lhe public that there was probability of the people of FeXas be- ing averse 10 q junction with our eoniedefa- cy. This idea is absurd in itself and must be ridiculous 10 any one who has the slight est acquaintance with the temper and dispo- sition of that people. They are as much at- taehcd to the untcd States us they would be fl they had never cmigrated-and they would spnrn Owe mean the great mass of the popu- lationl al all inducements 10 ally themselves to any other nation, with as much hearty con- tempt as the people of any State Ill the Union would exhibit under similar circumstances. With such men as those of Texas, Hiae-teaths of whom were born and brought up ih the remote western settlements, inurcd to the las tigues and privalions of hunters life, the most expert and active riAcmcn in the world with such body of men to guard the lrontlre of Louisiana, we my laugh at all attempts ol no matter what enemies who may undertake to annoy or invade us from that quarer.- This circumstance of itsef ought to obgiate all objections 10 the resolutions of Congress, at least in Louisiana But if VIC reflect on what might have been the condition of oar frontier and of the parishes adiaeentto 10 t, had Texas fallen into the snayes Of England, we are forced 10 regard the measure as having rescued us from imminent and appalling dan gers In the present happy condition ol things, instead of having for neighbors peo- pie animated by abolition prejudiccs, we have friends and countrvmen, who are as hostile to that blood-thirstv, cantiug crew as We our selves are-who are ready to oin their forces with ours 10 thrash any enemy that may as- sail us; and who, far from ahetting the schemes of the abolition gang, will cheerlully assist to illustrate thcm--instead of taking fugitive slaves by the hand and encouraging their flight, will do their utmost to arrest and re- store them to their masters. These are some of the advantages which we in these loeal- lies derive from the annexation ei Texas.

 We have also the Gainesville Standard Extra, of the 29th March, containing an account Of q meeune held at that place. attended by large number of citizens of Red River county and of several Of the surrounding countless the District Court being nj the time in session, at which preamble and reaou- lions adopted without single dissenting voice, decidedly and strongly in layol of annexation to the United States"

 The meeting were in possession of the Resolutions passed by the Congress of the U. & for the admis- sion of Texas and they expressed no objection what ever to the form of them

 At all these meetings tie people demand of Plesi- dent Jones to call Congress together, and make pro- vision for the holding of the Convention to bring their Constitution into the form required ol admis- sion, by the Resolutions S>c.

 Itis said that President Jones is personally opposed to annexation Be this as it may, he is bound 10 obey the almost unanimous and overwhelming voice of the people in favor of the measure. The people of Texas determined to shelter themselves from Mexico and other savage tribes under the broad pro- tecing wing of the United States They have been in constant dread of being driven from theif homes by the invasion of plundering sayage-and now when the United States, the country of their birth, the home or burial place of their fathers, the soarce from whence they have drawn all their institutions, invites them into the Union, and offers to throw around them the shield Of her power they will gladly accept the invitation regardless of te opposition of the few aspirants who would maintain her separate position for selfish purposes-regardcss of the uiu- enco of England and her emissarits, and yet more regardless of the desperate howlngs of the abolition ists of the north

 The last dying struggle of the opponents of this greatmeasure is now being made, but uttheoverwhelm- ing influence of Democracy, urged on, and aided in the grandest achievement of the age, by the of the reemen of Texas, will overcome all opposition and consummate in due time this lavorte measure
