A beginning has been made ofthe-eighth
week of the session, and if any thing is done
it must be done during the next four weeks
ofthe session. The Texas question is to
occupy the attention of the House this week,
and perhaps longer, if ‘King Caucus’ does
not settle down upon some tangible plan of

and hardly probable. The choice ofan anti
'I‘ex~*_.s Senator from New York is hailed as
a harbinger of evil by the ultra r;nnexation-
tionists here. It is to be hoped, too, that
New York has not neutralized herself upon
this question by electing one S--nator for an-
nexation andioneagairist it. That would be
a most cootevriptible position for the greatest
State in the Union. Mr. Dickinson, you

define his position so as to preserve the honor
and integrity of the country before Texas
shall be admitted.
The discussion ofthe Texas question in

marked ability. Mr. Hamrriett, of Miss,
who opened the debate in a speech for Texas

made a plain practical and effrzctive speech
against annexation. He addressed himself
to commercial men, to agriculturalists and
to the friends of the union, ofjustice and of
truth.
Mr. Marsh, too, who is an ornament to the
