 Mir Logan from the committee on ways and means, to which was referred the pre- amble and resolutions concerning the State Bonds, reported substitute, which was adopted.

 Mir. Floyd from the select committee to whom was referred the subject, made very full and able report on the annexation of Texas to the Union, accompanied by resolu- tions instructing our Senators and request ing our Representative in Congress to exert their influence in favor of immediate annex ton.

 Owing to the length of the report, the House thought 1t best to lay 1t on the table, and adopt the resolutions alone.

 So the report was laid on tbe table, and the resolutions read first and second time forthwith.

 Mir. Fowler moved to amend the resolu- tions by inserting after the word ''resolved," '.That the people of this State are in favor of the annexation of Texas to the U. S., as soon as it can be done consistently with the honor of the country and harmony of the Union. and that our Senators be informed, and furnished with copies of this resolu- ton. "

 MT. Floyd moved to lay the amendment on the table until the 4th of July, 1848, which was carried by yeas l,nays II.

 On motion of Mr. Berry, the resolutions were ordered to be engrossed for a third req ding on Monday next.
