Considerable speculation and some excitement has bee produced among the southern democracy by statement thai the democratic legislature of New York had laid the table, and thereby virtually re- cced, outonii niinsructng lhei' Senators to vote for the resolution to re annex Texas to the United States, which recently passed the House oi Repre- sentatives. at Washington. The Albany Argus, re- ceyed by yesterdays maiI places this matter on its right footing. h seems that Mr. Collins, whig representative from Aleganey county, introduced 4 resolution instructng the New-York Senators to pote against the annexation resolutions passed by the pop ular branch of Congress.
