Senator Bagby, of Alabama, whose cxtraordi-
nary course~at the last session OF Congress on the
Texas question, has called forth much animadver-
ten and ccnsure has written letter to Mr.. Gayle
in which he says he shall vote for the approval
of the Texas Constitution, and also that he "more
than any other man, saved the measure from de-
feat at the last session of Congress" We quote
the important part of his letter, which is dated
Washington, September 10, 1s45:


81 shall vote for the approval of the Texas
Constitution, and TO place her on the same footing
with the original States, provided that Constitution
sets up n republican form of Government. / am
not ignorant that my views and opinions in rela-
ton TO the great question for the annexation OF
Texas to the United States, have been a most pro-
prepared to prove that /, more than any other
man, saved the from, defeat at the last ses.
sion of Congress shall set ont for Alabama in
few weeks, with view to remain until the meet
ing of the Legislature, as | am resolved TO submit
my whole course to the impartial decision of the
General Assembly of The State of Alabama and
let them decide whether l, or my revilers, have
been most at fault Indeed, cannot resist the con.
clusion that the prosecutions directed against me
in regard 10 this question, forms one of the most
remarkable cases in the history of public men, !
voted in favor Of the measure in every form in
which it was presented. upon which vote wa:
taken; defended the government and people o
Texas against the calumny, that, unless they were
admitted on lhcir on their own terms: and attheiI
own time, they would transfer themselves to Eng
land, and finally saved the measure of annexation
when nv vote would have defeated it. But will
not trouble you further at present, as shall furn
ish YOU. as we'll as the other members ofthe Gen
eral Assembly, with an opportunity of passing
an impartial and enlightened judgment upon the
whole case, from an examination of the facts and
circumstances" rrh
