Annexation

A correspondent in Plymouth has sent us a well wrílten adíele on this subject, which we would like to publish at length, werc we not straitenod Ar room. Mc fakes us to task Cor publishing the following motto on n bnnner at thu gront Wbig Springfield Gonvcntinn, ns au cvidence that R nortion of the AV'hig party wore infavor of the Annoxation ofTexüs: "Kot wholly npposod io Anncwation, if it can be acconiplished with credit and lionor." Thts motto ho éxplains as foüows: uWhile I cheerfully acknowledge thai a b'anner wilh an inscription similar to iho onc abovo quoted was disp'ayed on the occasion referred to, vet 1 will not admit tiiat it was iniended to convey iho idea which you havo seemed to suppose, j or lhat it aiTords the least possible ground ibr the argument whieh has been grattiitously deduced from t. I have gaihèredfroni two hïghly credi'nble sou rees the foUowing facts relativa to the subject under consideraron. UA banner, carried by the young Indiesof West Springfield, had a motto, stating that thougli not decidedly opposed to annexation, yet they jjiere determiued that it must corae without dishonor, and brjng with it no disgrace." The whole was a mere joke adopted by the Jadíes, solely to excite merriment and liilarity in those who witnessod this ingenious and hurnorous application of an absorbing politica! theme, to iheir own personal and sexual relations. Thenexation there spoken of, does not mean that of nations or governmenfs, but simply of "two willing hearts." Tho nego(iaiions requisite in order to secure the union here alluded to, are not those purued by Tyler, or cherished by Polk, but those that are instigaied by Cupid, and consummated by Hymen. If the Jadíes who bore the banner at Springfield are favorable to such annoxation, I do not consider it a very cogent evidence :that a largo portion of the VVhig party are looking" for the Union of the Republic of Texas, and the United States of Americn. Indeed, if Í am not much mistaken, a "respectable portion" of the Liberty party have already supported by theoryand practico llñs mensure, "not decidedly opposed" by the Indies of West Springfield, and I presume there are oihera who Míl "bhut no door againat it." Tbus, ifour informant be right in his explanation, we stand corrected, and hasten la make tlie proper ncknowlodgemen?. We supposed the banner acíually repreentedthe politica! views of a portion of the conveniion. But in tho sense ir wliich the young ladies wsve in favor óf Annexation, weshall make no war upon the measuro. Alihough we are not in the, lmbit of using Mr. Clay's Janguage fo express our own sentiments, yet inence to this species of Annexntion, we can truly say with him, "We have, Jipwever, no hesitalion in saying, Ihaffarfrom having any personal objection to AnnexatlOn, WE SHOVLD BB GLAD TO SEE IT, tvitkoul diskonor, icüh the common consent, and upon just and fair terms."
