Quire California, They will vote on the English side of the question with their eyes wide open who vote against Texas now ; no it will gave them from the scorn and indignation of their defrauded and incensed countrymen. Toryism never can stand the test of public opinionin the United Stat The rejection of the Texas question now, will make the nation demand ot Governor Polk the cell of an extra session, aud every body knows what an extra session is—to be depiored and avoided it possible, but circumstances alter cases. God wil- ling, England never can never have Texas, nor oc- cupy California or Cuba. Within a brief period England has nearly dou- bled her possessions in India. She has by force of arms annexed Scinde, a province washed by the aucieat Ladns, and larger than the present limits of the Cnited States,from whose oppressed population she derives a revenue,itis said in an English Quar- terly, of two millions of pounds sierliog. She has made « barbarous war on China, rebbed Canton, and annexed Hong Kong by force of arms. What na tion has yet risen up in judgment against her? Yet this poor, helpless, timid divided republic, attempts to unite a people with our country by their ow nsent. under the simple forms of a civil com- pact, as a new State, and England indirectly steps torward aud forbids the bands. British gold is at eir emissaries fare spread over Texas, Mexico, and the United States. A hundred traito- rous aettors spring up aad the work is done. Our bouudaries—our limits—on this continent are to be marked out by the British sword. The only thing that can save the country, and rescue us from Bni- ush domiaation, is the action of the people them- selves. They mustonce more march tothe rescue. They must speak trumpet tongued to, their false aad tainted representatives in the halls of Congress They must demand the immediate and uncondi- tional annexation of Texas, and he who dare Op- pose it, wilt be ‘anathema maranatha.” Mr. Bagby has evidently played foul with his own party aod his own constituents. If he enter- tained doubts or constitutional scruples, he should have made them known to his constituents loug ago. Tastead of that, te has kept his purposes sealed up to the very last critical moment, when every one were relyiag upvn hia vote in its tavor—when the eyes of the whole country were turned to Wash- ington—almost at the last struggle, the final hour— this Senator astounds the whole by his_ opposition. Such conduct, of a man instructed by 10.000 majo- rity of his own State, and by its Legista:ure also, to vote for angexation at all hazard:—I say to find & man thus circumstanced, tacitly pledged to his friends and the country to vote for, to wheel right rouad and kill it atthe eleventh hour, is one of the mst remarkable political transactions kuown in the aunnls of history. Alabama members of Congress heard of it ‘They rusued from the House into the Senate to hear him, and looked on with utter astonishment and chagrin. The news spread over the city, producing the greatest porsible excitement. So the matter stands now at 10 P. M. It is said tour Senators are to speak yet. Itis thought they will, without doubt, reach a@ final vote on the question during the day. Chances now of their passage or non-passage are extremely doubttul. A day may change the aspect of things We rejoice to announce the final passage ot the Postage Bull in the House, with some slight amend- ments, in which it is hoped the Senate will concur. Thisis one good thing ** out of Nazareth ” Bon nuit, Sanpy Hoox. P. S.—Townsend, of the Express,is here. What for,—cau you tell? Mr. Bigoy concluded to- night, since dark. He was followed by Bates, of Mass, and Upham. Mr. Crittenden has the floor to-morrow. Yours, 8. H. TWENTY-KIGHTH CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION. s te. Wasutneton, Feb. 26, 1845. Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Tustin. Journal appro- ved without reading. is PETITIONS By Mr. Dickinson, from New York State, for the re-annexation of Texas, and the occupation of Oregon. By Mr Archer, several petitions from preset for an amendment of the Naturalization laws. Mr. Bayarp, from the Committee oa Military Affairs, reported back the House billregulating and reducing the pay of the Army,with sundry amend- ments. Atter the consideration of several private bills, the Senate resumed the bill for the reliet of the State of Michigan, and of certain railroad compa- ni Mr. Sruregon declared he was favorable to in- cidental protection. He thought that Whig Sena- tors, now the declared advocates of this bil!, were favorable also to home protection. He hoped,there- fore, that all their declamatioa,uttered so loud and so long for home industry, would not prove to be mere sound, and nothing but empty sound. In the absence of his colleague, however, Mr. S. should content himself with calling tor the ayes and noes. Mr. JaRnaGtn said that he was one of the Whig Senators referred to. Whatever might have been his prepossessions in favor of the protection of Penn sylvania iron, they were now overruled. Himself and colleague were now under double instructions against this iron interest—first, instructions trom their own Legislature—second, instructions from Pennsylvania in the decision of her people in the late Presidential election. Pennsylvania had de- clared against home protection—against the calico weavers, the cotton spinners, and the iron manu- tacturers, and the Senator from Pennsylvania had noright to complain when himself and his party had brought about this result. Mr. J. declared him- self, therefore, under his double instructions, as dis- posed to go forthe bill. Mr. Woopsrives explained the bill, as not so general or objectionable as was supposed. Mr, AsHUry suggested that the bill_be referred to the Commitee on Post Offices and Postroads, for the insertion of a provision for the protection of the Post Office Department against extortions of these Michigan railroads in the transportation of the public mails. Mr. Pogter objected. He questioned whether the State of Michigan was disposed to sell out on such terms, . : Mr. Bucuanan desired a little more time in order to know how much money would be taken out of the Treasury by this bill. Anxious, meantine,that another and more important measure should be disposed of, he would waive the statement of his objections to this bill tillto-morrow. Bull ordered to a third reading. With some other bills of a local or private char- acter intervening,the Senate took up the bill further providing for the punishment of offences against the United States. ; Mr. Bexnren defined the bill as providing for the giving jurisdiction to the courts of the United States of off-aces against the lawson board certain vessels navigatingthe great lakes and the rivers connecting the same. Mr. Tappan objected because the State authori- ties along these lakes had jurisdiction of offences as proposed in this bill to confer upon the U. 8. Courts A Mr Beaaten explained that the provisions of the bill did not iuterfere with any State jurisdiction — ‘The bill applied to o' es. committed on board certain coasting vessels guaged and licensed under authority of the United States, and which offences the courts of the United States were only compe- tent to try s The conversation was further prosecuted by Mesers. Tappan, Porter and others, when the bill was informally laid aside. > TEXAS. On motion of Mr. Benton, the joint resolution from the House tor annexing Texas to the United — was resumed as the regular order of the jay. Mr. Mruugr rose to the question. He said that had it not been so late last evening, when the Sen- ator from Mississippi (Mr. Walker) closed his re- marks, he should have tollowed in the discussion. But he had no great leve of a Midnight Cry, even against Texas, {Several messages from President Tyler, by Capt. Morse, his private Secretary ] Mr. Minter resumed. One more day was yet allowed 10 this Republic—one more san was allot- ted to shine upon this Union as itis. Whether it should continue longer thana day as it is, was the question now in the hands of this Senate. Mr. M was deeply senaible of the difficulties which pre- sented themselves before him in the diacussion of this question, following the able Senators who had Spoken upon it. Yet he was called upon to speak, and to speak for his State, if for no other purpose than to give her pbperions to this new and unna- tural union. The Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Walker) was ready to place the matrimonial ring upon the fiager ot the bride elect; but who should pronounce the benediction, “Whom God has join- ed together let no mao put asunder!” Who was to consummate this unholy and unnatural alliance? Mr. M. wanted to tell Senators there w: uch @ State as New Jersey. The Senator from Ohio (Mr. Allen, and Mr. M. regretted he was not now in his seat) had forgotten, however, that there w: a State called New Jersey. That’ Senator in h ardent destre for a foreign territory, could not ye terday recollevt the aame of the State from which the colleague of Mr. M. (Mr. Dayton) came. He had looked around, and inquired of Sena- tors sitting near him, and when told that the Senator was from New Jersey, he had said, as it e had made a discovery, ‘On yes, the Senator from New Jersey.” Has it come to this, that the State of New Jersey, all glorious in the historic as- sociations connected with her name, was entirely forgotten as belonging to this Union, in t sad excitement of a debate upon the question of tne seizure of a foreign territory? Mr. M. « id, that he would tell the Senator, there was. still ex- ieting such a State as New Jersey. [t wasa little f land lying between the Hudson and the uu we Bay—a little strip of land immortalized 1n the revolution upon the fields of Trenton, Prince- ton, and Brandywine. And yet the Senator f Ohio had forpoties the locality, the name, existence of the State of New Jersey. Mr. M. said he would tell that Senator, that the first tree felled on the spot where Cincinnati now stands, was felled by a Jerseyman. Jerseymen might be found in almost every settlement in Ohio, and they carned with them the glorious recollections of their gallant State, and their early associations as con- aected with its green hills and smiling valleys. — Mr. M said there were various interests conjoined to effect this proposed annexation. There was the present Executive almost crazy for annexation— the President elect pledged for Texas. It wassaid toa, that the new Cabinet was to be made up of men pledged for Texas; and that future eppoint- ments to offices were not to be made upon the ques- pore, is he a whig, or is he a democrat, but 1s he for Texas, or against Texas. Then there was the House of Representatives, which by a majority had pasted this measure to the Senate—the influence cf excited public opinion—and the great and control- ling influence of the immortal Jackson. These were the influences brought to bear in favor of an- nexation, and the great question was, whether this Senate can resist thi combination—whether the Senate shall retain its independence, or submit to the force of circumstance. Replying to Mr. Mc- Duffie in his declaration that the Senate was smali body, and liable from this cuuse to corrup- ‘ion ; and defending the Senate against the charge, Mr. Miller passed to the review of the several pro- Positions of annexation brought forward in Con- gress. Some gentlemen were in favor of annexing Texas by treaty, others, by the plan of the House of Representatives, while the plan of the Senator from Missouri embraced both the treaty and the legislative proceeding ; but there were a great many out of doors, and some within, who were the any- hows of annexation. Mr. M. apprehended that tl Senator from Pennsylvania was among this class of anyhows. He wanted the annexation carried, and anyhow, go that it was carried. The honora- bleSenator travelled over the consti tutionaljgrounds, as pursued by the Senators preceding him on the sime side—contending for the prio in this case of the treaty powercontending that a foreign State, without the consent of two-thirds of the United States, by their representatives on this floor could not be admitted into this confederacy— contending that it was an oneeae upon the people of this Union to admit a foreign State, aad the aliens of a foreign State, to equal privileges, and, by a single act of legislation, with the citizens of the United stat it was an outrage upon the S-nate, and an usurpation of its auhority,—it was an outrage upon the individual States; for five States of the Union could carry this resolution through the House of Representatives; and the very instability, aud the fluctuations of mere ma- jorities from North to South, and from the South to the North, dictated the wisdom and safety of the two-thirds treaty action of the Senate upon all ques- tions of the acquisition of foreign territory. Mr. M. referred to an anti-Texas message of Senator McDuffie, while Governor of South Carolina, in which said Governor deprecated any interference with Texas, because it was a revolted province, and because its population were, asfar as emigrants from the United States were concerned, men who had gone there in defiance of the laws, some {or henor, some for plunder, and some for infamy, &c. Mr. M mentored the consequences of foreign ac- quisition of territory, as forewarned from the expe- rience of the extension of the area of liberty by Franceand by Rome. He denied that the question of annexation had been decided upon by the ple, in the late Presidential election. he whole concern belonged to John Tyler; but, if it had been decided by the people, and the Presidentelect had been chosen upon this issue, why not leave the settlement of it to the new aministration?. Were gentlemen anxious to throw the respon: lity of this act where there would be no responsibility _— The power of Great Bi in, ond the bug-bear of her aggressions—the scrip and the debts of Texas ‘slavery, abolition, &c.—were all passed under re- view, and Mr. Miller closed by a strong party ap- peal to the Whigs to stand united against this ini- quitous measure, that their sun may go down in glory, in order that when it shall re-appear, after the night of our discontent shall have passed, it may rise in unclouded effulgence, and without a spot upon its face. 2 {Daring the remarks of Mr. Miller, the Senate bill, for the reduction of postages, &c., wasreported from the House, with amen ments. Mr. Dallas, meantime, also made appearance in the Senate, aad took the unoccupied chair of Mr. Walker.— De. Essellman, of Nashville, accompanied by Mrs. J Potk and Mrs. Judge Catron, and Mr and Mrs V. K. Stephenson, and others of the Presi- dential suite, were among the auditors in the gal- leries, during a acter of the protracted observa- tions of Mr. Miller.] Mr. Bacsy secured the floor. Mr. Evans, by general consent, reported from committee the annual Civic and Diplomatic Appro- priation bill, with amendments. : And, on motion of Mr. ARcuER, as it lacked but half an hour of three o'clock, the hour for a recese, the Senate went into Executive session. Wasuinaton, Wednesday, Feb. 26, 1845. Senate re-assembled at five o’clock, agreeably to resolution for a recess. Mr. Mgrricx moved that the amendment of the House to the Post Office bill be read. Mr. Berrien asked if aquorum of Senators were present. The Cuatr said there was not—some ten or fif- teen members only being in their seats, Mr. Berrien ohyectad then, to the Senate’s pro- ceeding with any business. It was incompetent for @ minority to assume the functions of a majority of the Senate. A suspension was the consequence After the lapse of a few minutes, a quorum being present, a Mr. Merrick again moved that the amendments of the House to the Post Office bill be read. Mr. Critrenpen suggested that they be referred to the Post Office Committee, as the readiest dis- position that could be made of them. ) Mr. Merrick said the amendmenis could be die- posed of in a tew minutes, Mr. Sevier objected, and moved that the Senate resume the special order—and the snecial order was accordingly resumed, to wit—the House resolution for annexing to the United States, as a State, the sister REPUBLIC OF TEXAS. Mr Baasy took the carpet. He commenced by declaring very explicitly and minutely, the prepon- derance, in his estimation, of the Constitution, whatever veils or cobwebs may have been thrown around it in the discussion of this question. He said he should not examine the question as a mere tyro or school-boy, but the broad and explicit con- etitutional consideration, can Congress admit, not new Siates into the Union—but, can Congress ad. mit a foreign territory into the Confederacy? He did not consider that this Constitutional question had been settled atthe late elections. hoever heard of a constitutional question being settled at the ballot boxes? No, sir, the question was set- tled by the Constitution itself He had thought that gentlemen coming to this Congress, came to enact laws for the general welfare, and not to act upon the admission of a foreign territory on the presumption that its constitutionality was de- cided at the late Presidential election. The constitution did Cees for the admission of new States, with clearly implied prohibitions, and stand or fall, sink or swim, survive or Ps it , he should hold faat te the Constitution. hat was the provision for the admiasion of new States into the Union? what was the letter—the grant—and the obvious intent of this constitutional provisien ? “New States may be admitted into the Union,” “but,” “but,” andthese bats were hard things— they were the hardest things we met with in thie life—* but,” and here he meaat to give the sub stance of the provision, but “no new State shall be admitted from any large State, without the con- sent of such State, nor shall any new State be forced out of the assumption of the territory of any small State or States without their consent.” There was the provision—there was the restriction —there the limitations. What does it consent to ? It consents that new States may be admitted, but defines two modes in which they shall not be ad- mitted into the Union. Mr. Bagby enlarged upon the limi'ations designed by the framers of the Constitution. Texas, unlike the other ter- ritories applying for admission, had not surrender. edull her sorersny, to Congress, but in the out- set had confided her discretion to another depart- ment of the government, &c. In considering this question, he relied upon the Constitution, and the rovisions of the treaty of 1788, and did not be- long, as a@ constitutional lawyer or fg, he would tell the Senator from New Jersey, to the “anyhow” party. He was not of that school ; he wes guided and confirmed in his course, and ap- prehensive upon this question by the fathers of his political creed—by the opinions ef Jefferson and Madison, concurred in by Jackson and Van ren, and by great statesmen also, on the other aide. . did not believe that should we lose Texas now, we should lose it forever. He had voted for the treaty, and he owed it to himeelf and to Ame- rica to say, that he had se voted for it, not be- cause he either believed, now or then, or then or now, that if we should fail then or now to acquire Texas, we should lose it forever. Nei- ther these, nor other considerations recapitulated at length by the honorable Senator, had influenced him in the vote; but he was influenced by the con- sideration that the treaty met and secured the gre object desired, imperfect as it w: several of i provisions. Nor did he object to a fair commercial rivalry io Texas by the enterprising, and sensible, and enlightened people of Great Britain; but there was a point beyond which he could not, beyond which this government could not, and woul not permit England to go. Nor did he believe that slavery was to be exterminated by the acquisition of Texas, by a mysterious process of in: nsible absorption. The progress of population was not to regulated by acts of Congress—it was only sub- ject to the natural laws and the immutable instincts of humanity. cared not about the assent Mexico; but he said now, that if he had been in this Senate at the time the independence of Texas was recognized, he would have opposed it tooth and nail,trom the fact that she must either become a rival in the commerce of the United States, or subject to the control of a foreign power. Mr. B. wished to see his way clear and unimpeded before him by any constitutional obstacle, before proceed- ing to action upon it; for that Texas must ultimate- ly become a portion of this Union, elt as cer- tain as he did that its beautitul rivers would con- tinue toflow, But neither the treaty nor those re- solutions accomplished the object desired. Tne treaty was one thing, and the House resolutions were another, and both were incompetent to the object intended. He desired a clear and substan- tial proposition—it must be fish or it must be flesh There was one man who for thirty years past had been looking steadily to the consummation of this great measure hile others had been trim- ming their lamps, he had pursued his way, keeping the end desired steadily in his eye. And Mr. B. would now say, that if there was one way in which this measure could be constitutionally effected, it could only be done in the mode indicated by the bill reported some weeks ago by the honorable Senator from Missouri. (And here Mr. B. turned round to the chair of Col. Benton.) Here was a plan through which we could escape all the diffi- culties which beset this question. Admitting that the people had determined in favor of the admis- sion, they had not determined in favor of a viola- tion of the Constitution 'gJMr. B. wished thi done according to the constitution, for every re —for himself, and his people, and his country. He would, however, consent to no violation of the Constitution in this or any other acquisition.— Whatever might be the consequences, he should go home with the Constitution in his hand untar- ished. He was ashamed to argue this question 8 a Southern question, or a sectional question. He claimed not to be a Senator of the forth, or the South, or the West; but an American citizen and an American Senator, and as such he should tr this question, independent of local consideratio The resolutions trom the House accomplished i ‘it passed in their present form they could Mr. Bagsy analyzed and f the House resolution to this assumption. Alter continuing his speech from the beginning for nearly two hours and a half, Mr. Baapy closed by exhorting the Senate to adopt sucha scheme for the admission of Texas as will not make a question of division with the whig party, or the democratic party ; but such a measure, so clearly constitational, satisfactory, as to secure the sanction of of all parties of all the States, and of every sec- tion of the Union. 2 Mr. Upuam strenuously opposed the annexation of Texas in any form, at any time, or by any scheme whatsoever. This was the attitude of Ver- mont upon this question. There was something disreputable in the very origin of this project of an- aexation. When Gen. Houston lett this city to volutionize and overthrow the government of Mex. tco in Texas, through all the stages of its pro- gress, down to the Tyler treaty, the appeal, after the treaty was rejected, of Mr. Tyle1 o the House of Representatives. There was dis- union at the bottom of it; and Mr. Upham said he nad high authority for this declaration. TheSena- tor from Missouri at the last session had boldly declared and denounced the infamy of the Tyler treaty. He had said it was a scheme not for get- ting Texas into the Union, but for get:ing the gouth out of the Umon. Withsome further gene- ral denunciations of the proposed annexation, Mr Upham tovk up the Constitutional argument based upon the clause providing that “new States may be admitted into the Union,” and after pursui: ‘teexamination for the space of half an hour, too! his sea! - Mr. Dayton moved to adjourn. Mr. Wauxer called for the ayes and noes, and the result under the call was 21 to 23. No adjourn- ment. Mr. Bates then arose to the subject under deli- beration. He was inflexibty and uncondition- ally opposed to the House resolution tor the admiscion of Texas into the Union. It was never com Sapiated oe ter designed—never bestowed— this high assumption of power en the part of Con- grei exercise involved, most gross and palpable violation of the Cons! tion. During the deliberations in the convention ing the constitution,not one word had been said of its embracing, even by implication, this tremen- dous power of admitting by act of Congress, into the Union, all the nations of the earth. Madison and Jefferson had denied the existence of this tor- midable ‘power; and had it existed under co- ver of any provision, Patrick Heary would have seen it with his eagle eye, and he would raised his iron trumpet and sounded an alarm which would have awakened ail the States of the South in opposition, startling the dull cold ear of death it- self. Passing from theee general observations, Mr. Bates maintained that the assumption of this, ar applied to the admission of Texas, and the immedi- ate naturalization of her white, black and mixed population involved the violation of another provi- sion of the Constitution, which ordains uniform naturalization laws throughout the United States. Again, the power of the Constitution respecting the admission ef new States was limited to States, by the express letter of the Constitution iteelf, art sing within the limits of the existing States. Its further extension was a power so tremendous that it never entered into the conception of the fathers of the Constitution. From the Constitutional question Mr. B. passed to the voice of the people, and denied that it had been fairly expressed in fa- vor of annexation If all the scrip holders, bond- holders, Wc., of the Texas advocates were exclud- ed, all the interested in any way, there would be a very clear expression the other way. After an hour’s discussion of the question, Mr. Bates gave way to a motion to adjourn.— Lost, 26 to 26. Every Senator present, for the first time this session,—every Senator from every Stute inthe Union. . Mr. Barge, accordingly, resumed his remarks, and, entering into the question of slavery, de- nounced the injustice that would be infflicte upon the free States by giving to every five slaves Texas an equality, in representatiou, with every three freemen of the North. He commended this consideration to the Senators from Maine, and Pennsylvanis, and Ohio. And, to his friend from Tennessee, (Mr. Foster,) wno wore the face of an honest maa, as he was, how was he to evade the debts of Texas? And, after reading the form of x bill of Texas scrip, to the redemption of which the revenues {rom imports and direct taxes were pledged upon its face, Mr. Bates asked how was this scrip to be redeemed, it the United States took from Texas, as proposed in this resolution, her customs and custom houses? Jn conclusion, Mr. B. ex amined the great superior question, over-riding the Constitution and all,—it was the question, can we rightfully and honorably admit Texas as one of the members of this Union? And, in every view, he considered it,would be uojust, uorighte sus and dis honerable. ‘The judgment of the world would be, that we had fomented that rebellion of ’36, for the purpose of plunder,—the plunder et a weak and dis- tracted nation. When Mr. Bates had concluded, Mr. Crirrenpen said that as there was but little doubt that this question would be disposed of to- morrow, and as it was now late (past 10 o’clock) he would move an adjournment. Mr. Archer, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Allen, and Mr. Sevier discussed the propriety of the proceedings, and the prospect of a decision en the subject to- morrow, which being promised by Mr. Archer, The Senate adjourned. P (Mr. Benton’s Bill, it any, will be passed.) . a8 he believed, 2 House of Representatives, Wasninaron, Wednesday, Feb. 26, 1845.
