Ask Annexation to Alabama.

A committee of a dozen leading men in West Florida, headed by Colonel J. J. Sullivan' of Pensacola, appeared before the Alabama legislature to urge that the part of Florida lying south of Alabama be annexed to this state. They urged that commercial convenience and necessity impelled their application and promised that the west Floridans would arrange to break away from Florida if Alabama would take them in.
