ce of the Mississippi, important elements of national power for the solution of the Oregon and other questions. It may well be doubted whether the Oregon dispute could have been so easily settled if Captain Elliott, the man in the white hat, had been successful in the objects of his mission to Texas; that is to say, in securing Texas as a commercial dependency of Great Britain, in abolishing slavery in Texas, and in building up on our Southwestern border another Canada. (See speech of Senator Houston, Congres- sional Globe, second session Twenty-ninth Congress, p. 459; also, remarks of Lords Brougham and Aberdeen in House of Lords, in London Morning Chronicle, August 19, 1843.) But the Union haters of 1840-‘60, whose glasses Dr. von Holst now wears, could only see from one side of the shield, and, in their impatience to abolish slavery, desired to see established on our Southwestern border an asylum for runaway negroes and hostile Indians. Dr. von Holst himself declares that an i

On Monday, the 25th of May, he advanced in heavy force through the plantations of Captain Chambers, Mr. Flowers, and Mrs. Houston, halting at Sandy creek, where they began the construction of a pontoon bridge. By Tuesday night, the 26th, it was completed, and everything ready for an advance in that direction. We had, at that time, learned that the enemy's extreme right was composed of negro troops. The total casualties on the left wing, up to this time, amounted to about forty killed, wounded and missing. The left slept on their arms on Tuesday night, the 26th of May. During Tuesday the enemy made no advanc

of annexation.—L. G. T. into the history of annexation; indeed, it would take many pages to do it justice, yet, as far as the writer goes, he is fair, just and accurate. We cannot go into the history of the event, and the many interesting circumstances attending annexation. It is part of our public history, and should be read carefully by every one interested in American statesmanship. Bitter war had existed between Mexico and Texas. Negotiations were pending between Santa Anna and General Houston for an armistice, when President Tyler made proposals to the President of Texas for annexation to the United States. The proposition was favorably received, a treaty was signed by the Texan commissioners and Mr. Calhoun, Secretary of State, April 12th, 1844; in June of the same year it was submitted to the Senate of the United States, and rejected. This proceeding occasioned the ill will of Mexico, and met with great disapproval from France and England, they being opposed, without an
