 We have been favored with the following extrar ,f letter to gentleman of this city. It is on subject of great interest, at present, and likely to become more interesting. The resolutions meet our cordial approval; and we hope our friends, throughout the State, will rouse themselves to action on this sub- ject, and give us frequent opportunities of gracing our columns with similar resolutions. We could have responded much more hearti ly to the 4th resolution, if the Presidents message had spoken more directly to the point, and more strongly in support of it.

 WASHINGTON, ARK, January SM, lS44.

 DEAR SIR-On the first and second days of this month, we had a meeting here of planters and others, to consult about the re- moval of the Red river Raft. You can see the proceedings, on this subject, in the last Telegraph.

 When the raft business was concluded, Judge Conway, after making some appropri- ate preliminary remarks, read to the meeting, and asked the consideration and adoption of

  Texas.

 The meeting had Clay officers, and was mostly whigs. Capt. Moore, the whig leader in Hampstead, made vehement speech in opposition to the resolutions, and in denun- citation of President Tyler and the democrats and was much applauded by his whig fol- lowers. Gen. Hill objected to the considera- ton of the resolutions; alledging that the meeting had been called for a special pur- pose, and that he was opposed to blending the subjects. He therefore moved an ad- journment; and the meeting adjourned with out further debating or considering the reso- lutions.

 In conversation, the whigs here profess to be with Us on the annexation question; and sincerely hope they may be. But they are obviously very shy of the subject; and if Henry Clay oppose annexation, fear con- sequences. For his enchantment seems complete over even southern whigs; and they might still follow him-spell bound-to 1 their own ruin, and the ruin of their country.

 Here are the resolutions. A.

 Resolred-That we believe Texas should compose part of our common country; and ] its annexation to the United States indispen- sable to southern interests, and vitally impor- tant to our blood-bought Union.

 Resolped-That our delegation in Con- gress be requested to use their best endeavors to procure the annextion of Texas to the United States.

 Resolued-That we solict of the friends of annexation, every where, present vigo- rous move for the accomplishment of our patriotic purpose.

 Resolred-That we tender the President of the United States our thanks for the patri- otic spirit breathed by his message, on the Texas question.

 Resolped-That the chairman appoint a committee of three to ascertain from the as- pirants to the Presidency, their respective views on this important subject.
