This is the whole reason why tho " Chief Officer of State mjj Texas" was appointed to the mission in question. There is no evidence that Mr. Smith or the Texan President and Cabinet are opposed to annexation they having deemed it proper, in the present crisis, to avoid any) pub lic1 declaration of their views on this subject. (The Journal also says-it is not true that Pres ident Joxes has been tampered With by the Euglitih and French Ministers, or that he has premised them any delay in submitting the pro- position of the United States Government to the Congress or People of Texas. On the contra ry,! it was wpll understood that as soon as the Presidentould be formally in possession of the overtures of the United States Government. he would submit them directly to the "people for their adoption or rejection. Besides the ex pense of an extra session of Congress, his mind was doubtless influenred by the further consid eration that tho members were not elected with any special reference to the question of annex ation, and that, even if referred tn'them in the first instance', it must after all: go back tp'the people fr faial decision. The Journal further says, il is true that ?Iex ico has offered to acknowledge the indeoendence of Texas, if the latter will renounce forever the ideaofj'anncsationtothc United States. It may, however, be 'presumed that in proffering such an ..acknowledgment .Mexico would seek to place tfe dividing line as fir east as possible, and per haps, also reserve a certain amount of indemni ty as a' salvo for her honor. On each of these paints Mie Texan Government must have a de lihite understanding with Mexico, before it will bp able to judge whether the proposition of the latter is worthy of serious consideration. .Sunk may possibly be gi i tied 1 h rough tho ieauui J;.,umfdt is: busily.

It is expected that the final propositions of the Mexican Government will be received here about the middle of June, or by the 1st of July." - The political triumph which has just been achieved in Virginia by Loco Foco isai.is, of course, a matter of great joy nnd congratulation with the dominant party every where, and especially in the Old Dominion itself, where, fresh from a vie torous contest for PrcsidentJ and with an acknowledged and heavy majority in the StatPftthcy fought, nevertheless, as if ev ery thing vasat stake, ajid as if they felt fully conscious that they could onlv'hoDe iw. uuu tjur ucserycu tneir success bv un- ah andersfandinff remitting and strenuous efforts to:min tain the power they have acquired. Thev went through this canvass, just as if I hey had to gain the. State, not as if they only strove to hold it in their possession. Whatever there may be to lament in the result of the recent election, it was, at least, not unexpected to us -and we were prepared, however, for the apathy in some particular quarters, and the malmn influ- suchaii amount and disposition of our na val lorces, as in any and cverv continiren. cy would place us in a condition to vindi- cfl our rigpis. v : j.

There is, however, no reasonable doubt of the result. Almost all the Americans, who constitute the great majority cf the population, are favorable to annexation. , t is denied that Mr. Donelso, our Charge, d'Affiires, was treated with discourtesy or neg. Iect on his recent arrival at the seat of the Tex anj Government. He arrived on Sunday, and wajs courteously received by President Jones on the next day, to tho entire satisfaction of Mr. D. It is. not true (the Journal continues) that Messrs. Elliott and Saligny, the British and h rench Ministers, left Texas for the purpose of visaing Washington, (this city.) Mr. Elliot had no special object in froinr to thn TTnitpd c. n -" w w ..... oiaies, other than recreation. Mr. Saligny went only to New Orleans, where he is accus tomed jto spend the greater part of bis time, making occ asional visits td Tcxa3 as circum stanceaj require. It is not true that Messrs. Elliot and Saligny visited the Texan capital f Wash diately ontbe arrival of the British frigate Eu ridice wiih despatches from Vera Cruz. The ccspatches which induced them to visit Wash, mgtqn were not brought bv tho Euridire. tint came from England and France by way of the inaies. j he despatches by the Euridice met them on their return from Washington to Galveston : and. after OneninfT them nnd rfir t T 1 "a l""n, loey coniinuea ineircourge to Galveston, and had not again visited VVash- ington.

We rather rise buoyant from the defeat. In their acknowledged stronghold, where, if any where in the United States, not ex cepting New Hampshire, they ought to feel confident and secure, we see that they have to contend for dear life, with a upprcssea party merely standing up under every conceivable adverse circum stance, for the expression of their political principle without the hope of success anu cut ou irom every prospect of person al or party advantage 1 Courage, then! gallant Whigs fc-You have neverquailcd you will nevcrquail I Tr 3'.u. wbo have, from the first moment of political and party depofism. down to this hour, manfully contended for constitu tional Republican Liberty, against the as saults of those who have ministered to the passions and predjudices of the people for mere aggrandisement ;o vou all, weW be or;c'ooD cnEER.
