 Col. Wm D. Dunn and the Texas Question.

 IL is evidently the purpose of the whig candidate for congress m this district and the whig press here, concert with him, to avsd the force of the Texas question in the present canvas, by assuming that annexation is already consumnlated, and that acquiescing in the measure which they cannot resst, and promise not to disturb as settled by the action of the last congress, ought no longer to be made an issue with them. This is hardly sound loglc- even fhe facts were all stated and truly stated. In selecting representative for this district in con gress, even after Texas shall have been admitted rrevocably as State, it would be unjust or un. generous form of opposition to candidate that he had opposed il m all its forms from beg innlng to end, and that his opposition had never yielded gument or sentiment, but had been merely silenced by an overriding necessity. Between the friend of annexation and an uncompromsing opponent on principle, such as Col. Dunn avows himself to have ccCh to bcj uleTc VIII oc q ana proper preference for him who agrees with truly, and will do wishes the more cheerfully because they his own.

 Col Dunn comes before US the 'unchanged' ad- yersary of the whole policy of annexation. Accord. ing to the Advertisers report of his speech at the Mansion House. he ''deciared erpheniy that hs had aWays been opposed to anneratOn he gavs hs flIIu nd said that hiS opinions a0ere unchanged"

 In recitns these reasons, according 10 the Adver. User. he said:

 " lt was we'll known that he had always opposed

 annexation, He could never see the benefits thai

 oi exas. To the cotton growing States, parti- cu'ary, he thought the effect would be ather inl. | r'o"s man beneficial. Nor could he believe it cal.

 Su,aeo to give any additional security 10 the spe.

 cu'ar ,"stl'u'i"ns' of the south. He had opposed

 me yer treaty because he believed il had it's ori- Rin Tn an intrigue for the presidency and because " it sacrificed the honor and h,h of onr aov.rn ment in the open violation of its solemn ,re.,;es l" with Mexico"

 These are his present sentiments; they are de. clared to be m union with all hs previous onn;o,, That may not be liable to the charge of b.v;,n overlooked the acts by which he has heretofore de- fined these unchangeable opinions we will turn to tn. journals of the last legislature, of which Col Dunn was a member, and examine the votes by winch h, there proclaimed his position.

 On the 18th of December, Mr. Clemens of Madi son county, offered m the House ol Representative

 series of resolutions general political questions among which were three on the subject of Texas We will quote each of them m its turn, Col. Dunn having voted against al The first Texas resolution (the fith, in order of the series) declared-

 "That the people of Texas entitled of right to
