Texas Annexation

The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, Maren 22, suys: "I understand ibat letters have been received from our Charge at Tex.is, (ortlie locvm lenens f the Charesiiij,, iu the absence of Moj. Doneláon, w'.iom we are pi ving to be there) etating t.'iat the peoj;le oí trxns will notaceppt our ptoposition for nnexution. !l may be that Ihe Star of IVxas wili yct refuse to ehine in our constpJlalion. Should this be the case, ihe GJobe must be dreadfully disappoinied, for forneof its Isleoriicles seemed to point to Snm Houston as the successor uf Mr. Polk. I have gncd authonly for saying that the Charge t'rom Texas to our goveronient, now in this city, hns expressed similar views. This will 'add a new shado of darkness to the dark haired girJ ihat Senator Dickinson gloried in so much in his Texai speech."Late arrivals ot New OrJean from Galveston, hring Texas p.-ipers to March ÍS, filled wilh enrnestdiscii&bions, pro and con, on the subject of annxation ouder Brown's bill- the knowlcdse of ihe amendmentjantl fuiaj passage of the bill nul havingr been )eceived. The Naiional Register, pubJished at ti)B at rr governm'nl of Texas, and understood to be the organ of thead-ninistration, quite turns up its nose at tbe humiliatiüg nature of the proposals mide by the United Stnte?, nnd the eiegr;idation to which Texas is reqoired to submit, with the uncertainty whetlier even thenshe will he admiUed to our Union.

' We have al wars been a vtfnrm and liearty advocate ibr the cause of annexaiion'; I ut never did we dream tliat the approvnl of the people of Texas wouli! be mquired to a proposition so absurd, so degraóing, os the one propounded by this resolution.
