TAUBOROUGII: SATURDAYAPRIL 27, 1844. FOR GOVERNOR, Col. Michael Hoke of Lincoln. frTWe will insert in our next a cles cription of Mr. Clay'a visit to Raleigh, as given by the Democratic Signal. FOR THE TARBORO TRESS. At a meeting of the Democratic Associ ation of District No. 15, held on Saturday the 20th of April, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted Whereas, we a portion of the democra cy of Edgecombe, in meeting assembled do proclaim our unaltered and unalterabl attachment to the great principle of the democratic creed, and our firm determinn tion to do battle in November next against Henry Clay and the combined hosts of fed eralism united. That the recent reception o Henry Clay in this State, by which an attempt is made to take captive the senses of the people by pomp, parade and proces sions, only confirms us more in the truth of our principle?; and we hereby pledge our selves, one and all, to fight in the good cause as lone: as there is a shot in the - o locker. Resolved, That we recommend to the people of Edgecombe, the names of Robt. K. Bridgers and James S. Battle, as suitable persons, to represent this county in the next House of Commons. Resolved, That a committee of three be ' appointed by the Chairman to correspond with the above named gentlemen, and re quest their acceptance of the nomination. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu ions be forwarded to the Editor of the Tarboro Press" for publication. L. R. CHERRY, Pres. JVm. D. Bryan, Sec'ty. In accordance with the 3rd Resolution, Messrs. Willie Braswell, Wm. D. Bryan, and Wm. E. Bellamy were appointed a committee. Congress. In the Senate, on the 18th inst. a large portion of time was taken up in discussing the bill authorizing a sub scrip' ion by Congress for 1,500 copies of Mr. Robert Greenhow's history ol Oregon. California, and the other territories on the northwest coast of North America. The bill was amended, on the suggestion of Mr. Tappan, by striking out the provision for 'ne distribution of a portion of these books members of Congress. It was then or- ject, will be speedily communicated to the American people." iiegwcr. Why does he not communicate nis opin ions forthwith? Whyvvas he silent here on the subject? Is he afraid to meet the question? Does he tremble for his north- em interests? we observe urn nis menus in New York are holding public Meetings, in which they take the strongest ground against the annexation. What does that mean? What are we to think of Mr. Webster's anti-Texas movements? Does he reflect the opinions of Mr. Clay? We hope Mr. Clay will show his hand at once. He is now in Virginia. Let him proclaim his opinions to the Virginians, and not wait until he reaches V ashington and feels the public pulse from all quarters. By the way, is the Register waiting for the cue from its great leader? ib. no circumstances, forget or disregard thai conrtesv and decorum which should al ways mark the conduct of the members of tU'.m nnnfartarantf tnuTjrd.S Paph Other . 1 a vwti.vv.,.- . - ... trust they will, on this occasion, maintain the irround which they have deliberately ta ken, with that manliness and dignity which become therepresenlativesof an enlightened Deonle." A good deal of feeling was exci ted in the Massachusetts Legislature, and in both Houses the subject was referred to special committees. A VOICE FROM TEXAS! The members of Congress of Texas have addressed a letter to the members of the Congress of the United States, in which thev correct certain erroneous impressions in regard to the feelings of the people of Texas upon the subject of reannexation and declare that their constituents are wil ling to come into the Union 'on a footing in all respects equal with the other States of the Union." The following is the let ter: Washington, Texas, Jan. 2. 1844. To the members of Congress in the U - , niled States who are friendly to Texas. The undersigned, members of the Con gress of the Republic of Texas, have lear ned with great concern and regret, that a most erroneous impression has obtained and prevails generally among 'he members . . a . ft . i of Lonirress and Deon'e ol tne united Mates, in regard to the feelings and opin ions of the people ofihis Republic, upon ihe subject of the political annexation of I exas to the United Mates. And appre hending that this impression, if not con tradiced, mav possibly hve much of influ ence in modifying, or preventing aliogeih er, any action of your present Congress on this subject, the undersigned deem it not improper to assure you, as they hereby do, and authorize you to make the declaration. that at least nine-tenths of their contitu- enis, and, as they believe, of the entire peo ple of Texas, would most cheerfully be wil ling that our government should embrace any overtures from the government of the United Mates, having lor their object the political annexation of Texas on a footing in all respects equal with the other States of the Union.
