were merely necessary TO ra,ify lrca-
ty, the Senate only would be convened; !;
but If both houses are to be called to-
gc,her, we may infer that something


more than a treaty is to be acted on


Itwill be necessary for Convention 10


be called Immediately aner the ratlca-


ton Of treaty between the two govern


ments for annexation, in order that the


Constitution Of Texas may be abroga-

TO the Constitution of the q. States"


1t would seem by the annexed extract
also from the Democrat, that some per-
sons in Texas as wei! as in this coun-
try, think that annexation is far from
being desirable' The Democrat says:


"From Information also, which we
have derived from a source which leaves
no room TO doubt its correctness, rela-

Mexico, aud the very favorable des-
patches recently received by our gov

conviction, that under present circum-
stances at least, annexation is far from
being desirable"

ties ''are in no manner recognised bv
the Texan Government and that their
proceedings "are wholly Unauthorized,
discIairned and disapproved of by that

in Texas, bu; in all parts Of the world;

The Texans are busy President max
ing. Gen. Burleston for the Presidency
and The Hon. J. NJ. Ward, Jr., for the
Vice Presidency, were nominated by
meeting at Washington. Mr. Ward de-
clines the nomination. a letter from
Washington, dated the 11th instant
says:


"Important dispatches have just got
