The NEW PRESIDENT OF TExAs-It has been
asserted Says the Albany Argus that the new
President elect Of Texas (Dr. JONES' is against
snne1ation-and that his election may be re-
garged as expressions Of the people Of Texas ad-
verse to that measure. This is not so. The
National Vindicator, published at Houston, con-
tradcts the story, on The authority Of letter
from Dr.. JONES, published in the Harrison Times
of the 25th July, e1cusing himself for non-attend-
ance az The political meetings of mis- friends
during the canpaign-of which the following is
an extract:


We're | to make a tour through the country,
should either be compelled TO neglect my official
matters or 10 resign. The latter would, indeed be
very easy but III the present crisis of our negoa-
TONS would, perhaps, look like deserton Of my
post [Secretsry OF State | en- not yet without
hopes OF annexation and as have had great deal
TO DO in this matter have some pride in wishing to
GO through with it. The charge that am inimical
10 further negotiations wah the United States for
the remuneration Of our country TO thar, is wholly
without foundation in fact, and base SANDER"


y This is just as we have always understood
it. Jones belongs to the Houston party, which
will consent to Annexation, if they can obtain
thei, own terms-not otherwise. They expect
to make Uncle Sam pay well for his whistle.
