instance, includes quotes from General Houston\u2019s letter to General Dunlap, of Nashville.\u00a0 This is from the editor of the New York Sun, who says, \u201cThere is but one feeling in Texas, in my opinion, and that is to establish the independence of Texas, and to be attached to the United States,\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026.\u00a0 Then extensive comment seems to represent the view that fighting for Texas to become a part of the U.S., if accomplished, will eventually lead to a dissolution of the union.\u00a0 It assumes there will an increase of slavery, and the slave states will eventually \u201ccut asunder the federal ties, which they have long held with ungracious and unfraternal fingers \u2026 If this be true, then the sooner Texas becomes the wedge which shall divide the Union, the better for the cause of liberty.\u00a0 Already are the sacred rights of free public discussion, and of a free press, prostrated in the northern states to the influence of the southern, and either the latter must give up their slaves, or we must be added to the number.\u00a0 The annexation of Texas may save us from this; but it is upon this ulterior effect , and this only, that we can admit the cause of Texas to be the cause of liberty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much in these issues about Texas, Mexico, and relations to U.S.\u00a0\u00a0 One item in
