WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, l845

You will observe by the proceedings in the
House to-day that the State plan of annexation is
to be the plan adopted, if any. A majority of the
House cannot be secured to any other plan, and
even upon that plan we doubt the concession Of the
North Of the whole of the territory of Texas TO
slavery. Any plan of division would be iuexpedi-
ent, especially to the safety of the South yet we
apprehend that before ihe debate il concluded the
motion for partition will be made and strenuousIy
defended.


The bill for the National Institution is likely to
become question Of great interest, from the open
