con Saturday last, Mir. Fowler, ol this county, offered resolutions instructing our Senators, &c., to use all proper meansin their power to secure the annexation of Texas, and yet strange to say, Legislature, two-thirds of whom are Democrats, voted 1t down."

 Gazette.

 And equally 6 strange to sag, neighbor Gazette, if you have told e truth in the abc,e statement, Col Fowler has placed himself in stfaage position, for you know, sir that he made aitrG Gnfl-annexaton speeches during the summer canvass. On the other hand if YOU dave mol fod he t'tth you,haye placed aourself in an uneneable position strange 10 say! For if you knew the above not to be true, you should not hare written it. If you wrote it without know inc it to be true you are equally to blame, because the correct information was at your very door, Now, sir, you have written truly, Col Fowler has acted iacoasisteay-and if he has acted consistently, you have written unbWly. We cannot acquit you both. We will therefore furnish you with the true state ment of the matter, and give you opportunity of doing justice to Col. Fowler, and make the best apology for yourself that you can, next week,

 You will find, by consulting the Journals, that Col Floyd, from the select committee. to whom the subject had been referred reported on Saturday last resolutions in favor of the immediate annexation ot Texas, Sc. That Col. Fowler moved to strike out all after the word resolced and insert substitute That the people of this State are in favor of the annexation of Texas to the United States soc 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 resolution.'

 Had the House adopted this amendment, they would have admitted that Texas cannot aoU he an- nexed consistently with the honor of the country and harmony of the Union''-and thereby conceded the great question that they have so manuy battled for during the canvass just over.

 They therefore voted Col. Fowler's amendment down. and ordered the original resolutions to be en- grossed for Sd reading The Democratic members of the Legislature are every of them in favor o the IMMEDIATE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS; believing that it may be done :" CONSISTENTLY with the HONOR of the COUNTRY, and HARMONY of the Union.'
