Gen. JACKSON has written another letter to a
Mr.. NJ. NJ Jones, of Utica, N. Y. in favor Of
Polk and Annex alton. He says he had expect
ed the re-nomina ton ofVan Buren, at Baltimore,
"up to the public atiOn Of Wr. Y. BIS rieooS on
the question Of 4Annering TEXAS, and even so
late as the assembling of the Convention at Bal
timore" But he adds,


at seems, however, that while all the members
of the Convention concurred IN the sentiments
which have expressed referring 10 his exalted
character and distinguished services, Il considera-
BILE minority oblec Ted 10 his selection as Candidate

We publish this to add one more indisputablc
witness to the chain of evidence that the Imme-
diate. unconditional Annexation Of Texas is the
ground on which Loco Focosm has planted
itself for the pending contest. Mir. Van Buren
expressly admitted Annexation 10 be Constitu-
,ionaI and under proper circumstances desirable,
but the men who nominated Polk would have
Annexation noto, and at all hazards-Wsr, Debt,
Slavery convusion, and every thing. On these
grounds Van Bu,en was put down and Polk was
put up. If he is elected, it will be direct and
deliberate sanction of Immediate Annexation
under existing circumstances, and Polk will be
bound to acquire Texas, with all its imperiec-
tons on its head in defiance of Treaties and the
horror OF the civilized world.
