'- ihs-House to-day, Mr. Holmes, front -t- Committee on ComInert-e repotted a bill authoriziiig'the importation-, free of duty, by the S. C. Rail Road Cotipany. of a suificient quantity of Iron materials for testing the practicability of an atmo pherie Itail Road for one mile. --After a brief explanation of the bill, lr. U..pressed its immediate passago, but some memlbers desiring a reference to a Committee of the Whole, it took thdt di rection. There is no doubt of its final passage. Mr. Parmenter, from the Naval Gem mittee, reported a joint resolution provi ding for andojustment of certain grades of rank in the Navy. It was passed without debate. He also introduced a resolution, directing an inquiry into the expediency of abolishing CorporaPunish mnent in the Navy. Several unimportant matters having been disposed of, the Texas question was n'.ain taken up in Committee of the Whole. ' Mr. Kennedy, of Md., made a speech against -Annexation, and.in general defence of the Whig party. Among other things he alluded to the Pennsylvania election, and contended that the people of that State fvere tticked into .votin; for Mr. Polk, Viewing him to be a high protectionist. V. Morse, of La., in reply denied this, tnd asked how it was that the majority of that.State.di'd not vote for Mr. Clay, who by his-nnmerous letters had avowed him estif friend to. protection, so that there eould be bo dotlt about it? Mr-. Ml. then went into the metts of the annexation =uesi, aTd vigVouslg defended it. He focidentally alluded to slavery, and con tended that the negroed of Lotisinna, are huch mord idthifigeot and better men, in every respect thin the operatives in the Manufacturing districts of the North. Mr. Tibbatts, of Kentuckg, has the floor fi- Monday; Notlin- firtier has b'een heard of the nvedienY bf Messrs.

Jan. 13. 6In th Senate, after the 'resentation of 'etitiins Mr. Foster. of Tennessee intro duced joint resolutions providing for the admission ef Texas ss a Stae. T.hey nrere referred to the Commit tee on For eign Relations. It is understood that no trert on any of the pending propositions, will be made until the Hlouse shtall havre given its vote. In the H-ouse Mr. Cave Johnson offered d resolution fixing Thursday next for cld sing the debate in Coibtmittee, on the Texas Question. Mr. Sample m~oved to lag the resolution on thetable, which motion, by a vote of 127 to 64, prevailed. So th~e debate will pirobablybe continued fur a wveek longer. Bir. Milton Brown introduced a joint resolution to admit Texas 's a State. This is the twelfth proposition now pen' .ding. The House then went into Committee of the Whlole anti resumed the considera tion onf the sub'ject. -Mr. Tibhats, of Ky., having the flotor, ddvocated the plan of annexation submit ted by him some time ago. It will be ex $1ained by the following preamble to his bill. Whereas; by the 3d article of the treaty between.the U. S. and France, for the .-purchase of Louisiana, conclutded in 1803, -it is stipulated, that the inhabitants of the a.tended territory shall be incorporated in the U. S., and admited as soon as possi tile, to the enjoyment of all the rights etc., ofrcitizens of the U. S., and in the mean time they shall he protected in the free enjoymenitof their liberty. And whereas the then territory of Texas, was a part of the territory of Louisiana, ceded by the eaty aforesaid. And whereas the said territory of Texas was ce Jed by the U. S. to Spain, by the tready of Florida of 1819. *And whereas the etdens9f-idtritory have declared, vin I lished their independenc:.5lesNatirn,;amnd erec ted for themselves an'>igenident Repub lic, and, as it is represented, are desireus of having said' te'rritory reannexed to the U.

And wher'eas a faithful adhds'edee 4o the stipulation of treaties is the glory of a Nation, anid should be preserved invio .late; and good faith.to France, and justtie to the citizens of Texas, require that it shall be done." * . January 14. In the House, after the reference of moms un important. matters, the consideration or the Texias enestion, was again resumed in Cam roittee of the Whole. -Mr. Holmes, of your city, basing'the floor, spoke for an hour in favor-or Annexatiofa, and in reply -to the powerful arguaents urged - . against iL After a very flowery introduction, he contendedithat this' was nutta sectional, but s'great nationalguestion. The question was annexation or rejeetion, nowo or never.

Having established this point. ho showed the -inevitabig ruin -f till this pospe 'irtTexaslsihoul -be suffired 'to re iaim an bdeiesidint ierriry. He alluded to 1he recct lovertures 'o. Loid Abeifeeni to Texas.prgaiising to'concede almost evpry thini; provided Texas -would 'make a 'conimercial treaty with Englacd. Was it, ie askedo be expected, that, with such -tempting. ifferq, Texas would retnain continially knocking at our door for admission? He - next shewed how the revenue must suffer from the fact that the Western States could fiot ble-expedti' t16 resist (he tempting opportunity df importirig their goods thropgh Texasfree of duty. They certainly 1ol bnly iniport but ekport through that quarter in spite of any precautions we might take. He then shewed the destructive effect, which a Texas treaty with England would have on the South, for how, lie asked, could Sourdiern co.ton compete with .that of Teias (which 'would be carried to the Enropen market at such odds. Tne conequences would be thet-the South must either join tii West, or else like the Israelites of old, they and thdit men servants and maid servants mrist leavd -the house of their aticestors and .tvaider to a strange land. - After a lucid coiistitutipnVI ar glmeit in favor of annexation, Mr. H. took up the Slavery argument. lie drew with fer vid eloquence a glowing picture oT the Aboli tieuists and their works, and asked what was to be the condition of the South with regard to that mnatter: in the. future, when the waves of northem population would have rolled over the Rocky wAlopinains and formed States after State on theshoresof the Pacific ? What pro tection would there be for the Sduth with a fes te'rin' late population, many tiumes outnum. berihg (lme whites, in ese an teitension of ter ritory ith6tid' he denied.

It is a commo rietnark lire, to-day, that the prospect of the annexation of'lexas is brighte. ning. I could mention the names of Sostfierni members heretofore desponding, who Ne now encouraged to beliefe that some project may pass the Ilouse, and probably the Senate at this seasion: The Madisonian mention a rtuor that Col. Benton has relinquished the idda of mrikiig the assent of Mexico necessary to ainneiation. His bill, however, guards against dny unreason able opposition to the measure from Mexico, and re may possible consider, that iitimn stances which have gredtly changed since his bill was proposed, may render it proper for Congress now to declare that nicent iinn'e'e' sary. Mr. Benton carries with him ilie votes of 3r. Allen and Mr. Tappan, and his great in. tiflucnce, too. strange as it may seem, over one or two whig votes. The names of fourteen wlii members of the House who are tavorable to amiexation, have been shewn to me to-day. Twenty-eight votes for annexation are now counted in the Senate, provided that Mr. Ben ton goes for it. Mr. Haywood. of North-Carolina, to day brought forward his pioject for annexation. It has been a subject of anxious consideration with hin and lie thinks that his plan removes congitutional difficulties. He takes the ordi nance of 1787 for the government of the north-western Territory as the basis ofh s che-rie, and applies it to Texas, providing that latefy shall not exist north of the 34th parallel of latitude.

LATE FROM TEXAS. By the fine steamship Neto Yoi*, from ta'estob, which 'arriVed lasit e'vening, we are in possession of Galvesion paiipere as late as --the 7th inst.

Charge d'A f. fairs in Texas, arrived at Galveston on the 1st inst.. in the steamship Neio York, from this 'pot. The Cibiliizi of the 1st inst. has an arti cle it reference to the various projects now tWfreoltur Congress for the annexation ol Texas. Speaking bf Mr. Benton's propo. sition, inaking ihe assent of Mexico neees sary t',the ~onsummaion of the measure, fixing the western boudary of.Texas be tween the Nueces and Rio Grande, and limiting the frontier to the Forth, and pro. hibiting slaverg, cicept in one half of the territory to be annexed, the Civiliah says -'These provisions will nevdt be agreed to by the Southern meitthers, and if they were, would be reje'til by Texas." Tbe same paper speaks of Col. Benton's reso ltisonss or intiuiry inbimitted to - the Sen Ate in reference to speculating operations in Texas, and as to the when the rexas Treaty .was agreed upon, antito obtain "tie private letter" from London; as nei ther very frieadlf t6wards tie .ivotates o'ftainexation or to the measure itself. The News says that if Col. . Bentoti's bill passod the U. S.enite, which that paper thinks is likely. "every true Texan will rejectit with tie contempt and itdigna tiun." [From the Picayune same date.] Verbally we learn that a large tnajorihy of the people of Texas are warmly in favor of annexation, and entertain strong hopes that a bill to that effect will pass before our present Congress closes its sessioli. :What.ede ts gidioi in Northeens Texas; of g'ood quality, a1fidin tuantity more than sufficient fo)r'hotne consumption.' . We would infer,. from the tone of the Texas papers th't the jo'pfe of that countr3, howeyer much they desire an nexation. would not consent to come inic the Union upon the terms of Col. Bebton's bill. They appear in regard tie proposi tion of Col. Bentin d iisulting to them, in so far-is implies a claim of Mexico upon the territory of Texus, or countenance the idea that they can be subdued to the lXlex ican yoke. They likewise scout the idea of ay terms being imposed upon them in respect to slavery. by the act ofannexiation. They desire to come into the Union free to act as they think fit on aT matters ol 4mestic policy, just as the States of the Uniou now are.

He adds, therefore, that he is preparinp immnediately taJeave. We thtnk Mr. Hubbard.,has acted wisely and properly ia his'dete'rmitiation. Is wva folly in him to come among us on the ab surd and impracticable errand of attempt ing to overset the police regulations of the Stite, byindicial dee'ision-it would h!ave been stili'more r~olish in him to' r'emti ariinltg'a popuililon as susceptibie as'our oU'herore ofvuecblnterference,-and bravt fife' eele'ment occasioned by his arrival Lft' him re'ttrn to Massachusetts and in form the Governor of that State that tht jie'eple of L~uisiana are perfectly. compe tens to protect' shemiseh'es without thi counsel or intermeddling of other members of-the confederacy.; that the laws of which Massachusetiscomplairns 're part dad par cel of the municipal enactments of the State, framed with a view to protect her bitizens from the danger of servile out breaks ; that such laws 'originate in the impulse of self preservation and tire para mount to all interpretations of judicial tri bunals-and that any and every effort to overthrow them or set them aside, will nly create unpleasant, if not serious, col lisions between the North and the South, and weaken the ligaments that bind to gether the several members of our glorious Union. Let Massachutsetts think of these things, and let her remember. too that she jitactiseth not wh,tt she -preiclies-that if a slave touches the soil of -Mssachuselts, he becomes free, that she protects the fu gitive and refuses to surrender him to his master. Site does not recognise slavery, though the Constittian of the U. States does. -Why, therefore, should she mur mur ihat we. who possess our domestic institutions guaranteed to us by the organic law, shtmuld labor to keep themt free fron the perilous conduct of fanaicism ; in short, that we who live in a land where slavery exists, should adopt fitting mea sures to prevent the mad attempt of fools and knaves.to instigate our black populd iion to-revolt. The law which prhibis the entrance into our State of free persons of c6lor, is a portion of this salutary code, and it is tint likely to he repealed. 0 long as the people of Louisiana are alive to the itin't of self protection.
