By the extracta from Tesan papers that have reached us, it appears that the papers of that country are discussibg Annexntion. On the part of the opponents, the following among other objections are urged: 1. In case of Annexation, all land claims must be decided by the Supreme Court of the ünited States. Many old Spanish and Mexican claimscan be raked up, and the actual settlërs must losetheir lands, spend thcir volue in Ütigation. or buy up the claims at exorbitant rates. 2. Foreign judgments, amounting to millions of dollars, are pending against citizens of Texas. Under the laws of Texas, these judgments cannot be enforced. Should Annexation take place, thev would be in full force. 3. It is contended that the terms proposed are exceedingly humiliating - such as u-ere never imposed upon any but a :onquered people. 4. The Constitution of Texa? confains no provisión empowering the Executive 3r Congress to cali a convention to mak e inew Constitution! If the people proveed at all,it must be without any forms of law whatever.
