The Massachusetts Legislature in 1s43-44 |, passed Resolutions unanimously, denouncing in the strongestterm the annexation of Texas. The locofoco members as well as the Whig members under the solemnity of oath, declared it measure which "n neither reason nor religion could SGnc- fiOn,' and [" fraught with danger TO the dearest liberties of the Republic" AWhig paper in Ohio, not uOaUing the very feri6le character of eastern Locofocoism, supposed of course, that they could not support James K. Polk, nominated as he was expressly on the ground of his favoring the imme- diate and unconditional annexation of Texas, and said so Upon this the Boston Post is nightly fl- rious. The locos who thus voted and whose names are gven the Post says are supporters of Polk, and being true locoocos, do not hesitate to give the lie to their former declarations the Texas question: The Post calls it foul li6eT' on the men, and the Post is rigkt, for what has "reGsOn, and "re- hgson," or the " liberties" of our Republic to do with Locofocoism!

 VRG1N1A.-The Richmond Whg says that GH $ going SOeN in VTgini0! The prospects are brightening daily. A letter dated Clarksburg, states MT. Van Buren's majority in Harrison county in 1S40 at 523-and that this fall Mir. Folks ma jority will not exceed 3OO And that in the Har- rison district, where General Harrison received majority of about 200, Mr. Clay will receive from 800 to 1000. This result says the writer, will not be brought about so much by changes, as by the Van Buren men, o cannot go |" Polk, Texas, and Disunion," staying away from the polls

 THE GLoBE's OPINION OF MR. PoLK.-In 1899, the Globe thus spoke of Gov. Polk :-" MT. Polk is wholly and totally an unfit man for Vice President of the United States He possesses no single quail fcation which should entitle him to the considera- ton of the party for that high office."

 We should like to know what claims Mir. Polk now has for the first office in the gift of the people, which he had not for the second office in 1s39?- We know of none unless his successive defeats since that time, when before the freemer of Ten nessee for the office of Governor, entitle him to some.
