pertinency to the republication of tlie following
Ode, with the appropriate introductory of the
Batavia Spirit of ihe Times.—Argus.
“Hoou. like most other poets, has experienc
ed many of tlie vicissitudes of life. Although
chiefly known to the world by his comic effu

a more serious character ; such as -The Dream
of Eugene Aram,’ and ‘The Song of the Shirt,’
which are remarkable for beautv and pathos.—
But nothing which we have read of Hood's, gives
so good an idea of His amiable character and
fine heartedness, as the following.

derice might contain some provision of the kind ;
but it appears that it only stipulated that the
boundary should be referred to umpires.
The following is a copy of the resolutions, as
they passed both Houses of the Texas Congress:
JOINT RESOLUTION,
Giving the consent of ihe existing Government to the
annexation of Texas to the United States.
Whereas, the Government of the United
States hath proposed the following terms, guar
antees and conditions, on which the people and
territory of the republic of Texas may be erect
ed into a new State, to be called tlie State of
Texas, and admitted as one of the States of the
American Union, to wit:
[Here follow the resolutions of the United
States Congress ’
tween the two Governments. It is said that this
line has been proposed by Mr. Packenham on
the part of the British Government—that it has
been accepted by Mr. Buchanan, on the part of
the American Government, and that the terms
of the Treaty are now being canvassed and ar
ranged between the two negotiators. If these
statements be true, some most important ques
tions arise, wbieh may not be very easily or sat
isfactorily answered.
The first question is—will the Senate of the
U. States ratify a treaty founded on such a j
basis? On first thought and without considera- j
tion, one would be tempted to reply “yes.”— j
There are, however, various reasons which j
would lea.) me to suppose the contrary. The j
49th degree will not be satisfactory to the West, j
That is a settled question. The whole West
goes for the Russian line as our boundary. Mr. !
Allen, and other Western Senators, will not !
agree to the 4.9th degree. Will Mr. Benton?
H as he forgotten Iris defeat on the Texas ques
tion? and his narrow escape from expulsion
from the Democratic ranks? Has he gratified !
his hatred against the illustrious statesman who j
framed, or reduced to shape the Treaty of an
nexation, and whose masterly arguments on that
