The recommendation of President Jones,
L. . c lecting membe rs ol the Convention, meets
with general favor, save perhaps in the: West,
und it is thought that in that section the peo
ple wilt give , way and make choice of dele,
gates. I The .feeling in favor of annexation
to the United States grows stronger and
stronger, and the little opposition that has
been m ifested is rapidly dying away. : ,
The tollowing extract we copy from the
Houston Star of jlhe 2-lihMay.y The editor,
after mentioning a previous rumor thai Mexu
can troops were concentrating -at SanXuis
Potosi, goes on to say i; r ; ; ... -
Within a few days we have received in
telligence from a .respectable source that these
troops have approached the Rio Grande, and
that it is nxivv currently -reported in Mexico
lhat they are to be stationed east of that .river.
It is said that the Mexican Government isdc
termined ; to .take .possession of the country
.West of the Neuccs,"and when thb measure
of Annexation iiconsumatedshe wili appeal
to :he. world and. declare 1 hat as the territory
West of he Neuccs . is in possession of . her
troops, tne claim ot iexas to it is. void. In.
formation has recently". been received at Cor.
pus Christi lhat indicates that Mexico is play.
11115 a uit 1 stuciiio ui ireaencry.- we are
happy to state here that: arrangements have
been made to obtain accurate - information' of
the movements of the Mexican forces j and it
is believed lhat our Joverment will be pre
pared to repel Kany incursion 'of Mexican
troops into tha disputed territory.
v It may be that .Com; - fete :kton s visit to
Corpus Christi apdlheyicinity has something
to do. with this business. . It would be a good
joke indceo iwere the -Mexicans to throw bo.
dies of troops ai difTerent points on the Neu
ces, and so on; through NewT Mexico," and
when boundaries finally c r. to be talked of,
to say ihat shs iasand holdi all the territory
as far East as the Neuces. Possession, is a
good deal in' an argument, and it might .be
well for the T2xans to send out men towards
the Rio Grande to look into t!;ii business and
dislodge all -intruders . Tb.2 thing can be
easy, enough done, and miy zzc much trou--

ihe only tribute she ever exacts, namely:
eternal vigilance: .. We are told by the polili

Europe with the blood of its. ablest and best
citizens, until their government rose en masse
and .compelled the Pope, himself to abolish
them ? Catholij; countries , havo . even done
this ; so destructive were they to the peace
and safety, of society. And yet, with sixty
known stations in this, republic under , the
lalsety assumed tiatnc of religion they are ex.
tending their wily -and subtle political influ

shall; we .do7-aid them, or .expose them ?
With the subject of religion we'havq nothing
to do, nothing to say politically.. '. Politics and
Religion are separate and distinct questions ;
but this Jesuitical garb is a false one ; finder
